Converting a Front wheel to a rear one
 

Hi everyone this is my first thread so please be gentle LOL, I bought a e-bike conversion the other day my mistake but I looked at it on a night when it was raining and wow what a mistake I made it is a shed!!! So I have been wondering what to do and the best idea I can come up with is transferring all the good electric stuff onto my bike the only problem with doing this is I would like to have a rear wheel drive bike and this is front wheel drive can I convert a front to a rear and how do you change the hub to put a cassette on I believe the wheels are the same size. Many Thanks Chris

Put simply you can't, return it and buy the rear wheel hub drive kit you want.

Thanks, not really the answer I was looking for but that’s my fault, not yours. Thanks again. Anyone looking for a electric front hub drive wheel? 🤬😡🤣😂👍

You're looking at a monumental task since usually the spacing for front hubs is 100 or 110 mm and rear from 135 to 148 mm or so, in addition to the hassle of trying to mount a gear. As above return it; if you can't, front systems are fun. My first one was a front conversion and it was great until my daughter absconded with it.

Sorry dude.

You bought a used kit laying on the floor of a shed, on a dark stormy night? Someone was murdered and they're looking for a perp with a front motor. Hmmm.

For all the reasons already discussed above, it won't work.

You could learn to love front wheel drive, if you have steel forks. Or if you're a good mechanic, accept the risk with alloy forks, and use torque arms..
