In this video our resident wheel builder Robert shows how to lace a hub motor using a basic single cross lacing pattern, using the bicycle itself as a truing stand and without any dedicated wheel-building gear. We made this video since most detailed references for wheel lacing cover the more complicated triple cross builds, but that is not necessary or even desired with hub motors which have a much larger flange diameter. A single cross lacing is much easier to wrap your head around on a first time build.
