I was about to start a new thread asking about this when I came across this one.

My concerns were exactly dealing with the stresses on the hub and how durable it would be when subjected to a motor drive.

Excellent thread!!!

Please keep us up to date on your findings.

As per Sick Bike Parts themselves: Requirements

If you haven't built a motorized bike before you should start with that. Buy a kit, Install it, Once you have it running smoothly and you feel confident in your abilities then install the Shift kit.

Thanks!

Your advice is sound for anyone, especially a newbie.

I've got the "mechanical aptitude" requirements. I used to be a bike mechanic for the Bicycle Racing Federation in Puerto Rico years ago (extra cash while I was in college). that's why I just can't wait to get down there and start my build.

Right now I'm living in New York City, so I don't even want to attempt it here.
