Solid wheel for brompton?

[shemozzle999]

Just stumbled across this while surfing.

MagicPie 16" wheel found under Hub Motors tab.

Solid wheel with embedded controller 24/36/48v versions but no mention of how much it weighs.

They also seem to show a LH twist throttle under accessories.

I have seen that before in my long surfing sessions whilst looking at how to motorise my Brompton.

Two observations :

1. I think it would be quite heavy.

2. Goldenmotor seem to have mixed responses about their quality and support. Having said that, I guess so do Tongxin

Looks like it would need a latch extension block - nudge nudge wink wink say no more

Sorry Colin I didn't make the connection that it was you

In the end I went back to the first extension for the clip you sent me, as I prefer to space the wire mud guard stay ring rather than having it against the fork with the main nut behind it. Maybe I should have used the original Brompton washer that is shaped to recess the stay wire and allow the nut to sit flush against it but I would have to make the hole bigger for the new motor shaft and as I have a longer shaft anyway it was easier to go back to the original arrangement.

Thanks again though for helping me out, your standard extension block certainly makes things neater.

I will update the post.

I had the same problem but without the hole enlargement you have so I had to use cutters to cut mine and deform it to slip over the shaft then bend it back into shape as it was not an easy job to remove the connectors.
