While you say it is not complicated at all to mount these directly to the
motor flanges, would you care to share how you personally would do so?
Hi,
I was an Electrical Engineer but not too shabby on the Mechanical side.
Nothing is going to be stronger than the flange the wheel is connected
to, although the wheel can reinforce the flange if the shaft is thicker.
Pretty much 4 bolts through a decent thickness washer to match the wheel
with all the plastic wheels (of any type) central gubbins removed and slots
for the bolts added will work. Arrangements to maintain concentricity and
trueness will help a lot and need some thought, to keep it simple.
But I wouldn't go without a basic concentricity mechanism,
between the motor rotor and the wheel, very easy to machine
on a lathe for plastic wheels, or machine L shaped rings.
rgds, sreten.
Given this a fixed wheel on a electric motor, most
bike knowledge is irrelevant, and at best, confusing.
An appreciation of how hopelessly and pointlessly
overengineered, which is not engineering in any
sense I know, the linked wheels are does help.
The alumunium version almost certainly chewed
up the the motor joint - just dumb engineering.
Consequently the finer details may be appreciated.
