Whether you're here because you want to build a hub motor bike or convert your mid drive to an internal geared hub IGH - let us know what you're working on in the comments below - maybe we can help.

First check your frame's dropout type and measure your dropout spacing. For an IGH or single speed you'll need a horizontal dropout. Sometimes it's possible to use a semi vertical dropout, but that usually means you need to add an additional chain tensioner.

To measure the frame spacing you just remove the rear wheel and measure the distance from the inside of one dropout to the inside of the other. The important thing here is to make sure that your frame dropout spacing matches the new hubs over locknut dimension (O.L.D.)
