Apic Design is making progress on his FlexElectric project : integrating 2 electric hub-motors on a Flexboardz.
First problem : hub-motor axle are not designed to be installed in a cantilevered position (like on a regular flexboardz) so Apic Design built really nice "mecano" welded arms (more detail soon) to accomodate 12" wheels total diameter).
Next problem : installing bladers and tires on hubs which are not designed for it (see the spoke holes)....
