Build thread here: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/electric-2021-q45.14218/
In that thread, you'll read another member here did this, but ground part of the motor away to do it. My solution doesn't involve any damage to the motor or the bicycle and it's completely working - read on through.
Q45 2021 model with extras. Rear and underseat racks, AR551 air shock. Stock rims replaced with 26" to mount 2.0" tires. Grin Technologies 1000W All-Axle motor in rear (great hill climber) with Baserunner controller and Cycle Analyst v3 control panel, 24-pole cadence sensor, switched brake levers to engage regen braking proportional to the throttle (the bike will stop from that alone without any brake pad wear) Ventisit and stock foam seat cushions, bell and mirror, full mudguards (fenders).
All-wheel drive if you pedal. 11 speed.
Batteries ship by ground within Australia and the cradle matches the battery, so they are not included, but I will sell them if you can ship them - 48V 960Wh charged to 85% to maximise life span. The aluminum mounting cradle will handle most batteries you can buy for a bicycle if you don't want this one. The Baserunner will use any battery from 24V - 52V by changing its settings.
I have the original 650b wheels if you want. I also have a 26" x 26" x 10" suitcase that should fit the bike when disassembled, but probably with only one set of wheels. That size suitcase will go on an airplane, but I don't know about the weight restriction. The motor adds 4kg, and the electronics and mounts a bit more, perhaps another kg.
The bike is a 100 mile tryout return, and arrived with some paint damage and 'gnawed' seat mount bosses on the frame, but it all works. I'm in Perth, Australia.
I can provide pictures beyond what is in the build thread above if you are serious. With my joints, I can't ride it anymore - I am working out a Greenspeed trike now.
AU$4000 + shipping for 26" wheels and electrics without battery and with suitcase (if it fits). I'm open to removing all the electrics and selling with the original 650b wheels too - I can keep the electrics as spares.
Cheers,
Bret
