80 mm fork clearance system

[Charles]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum.
About 5 years ago I converted by wife's 700C road bike with 36v kit from Cyclotricity to enable her to keep up with me. Since then we've had some great rides up hill and down dale, so it's been a great experience.

I'm now attempting to convert another bike (a folding 20-inch wheel). The trouble is that the fork clearance is only 80 mm instead of the standard 100 mm, and the Cyclotricity kits won't fit. I've scanned the internet and found 80 mm motors but only wholesale and not as part of a kit, but at least I did find this excellent website!

Any ideas where I could get hold of a suitable kit?
36 v front motor, controller and system wiring.
(I already have a 36 v battery and brake cut-outs).
Second hand would do!

Thanks for listening,
Charles

Thanks very much, the Q85 looks very promising, Ill give them a call.
...and i hadn't thought of rear wheel drive. Any thoughts on bike stability with the all the e-components on the rear?

The weight of a small motor, like a Q100, won't be noticed in the back wheel.
