Hi all, I'm looking for spares. Does anyone know where I can purchase a 24v 200-250 watt motor for 16" wheels?

There are numbers like 359-50 imprinted on the tyre walls. They tell me exactly what rim you need.

Next question: what is the dropout? 75mm or 100mm?

And just in case the OP hasn't come across the term 'dropout' this is the distance between the bike's forks where the wheel drops in, as per pic.

Aka OLN and OLD.

Thanks for that Bikes4two. The gap for my bike is 200mm, Woosh.
200mm is for rear wheels. I have nothing in that axle length. The usual dropout for rear motorwheel is 135mm or 175mm. For a 16" wheel, customers tend to prefer front motor wheel because it is much more difficult to work on a small rear wheel. Can you post a picture of the bike? Have you decided on a rear wheel?

Yes, I'm looking for a rear wheel hub - I prefer them. I would like to build one with same setup as my bike. Pic attached. Thanks anyway, Woosh
