Hi There,
I own a front wheel drive Magic Pie hub motor that I purchased a few years ago. It is a great motor and at 1000w more then strong enough.
The question I have is can I convert this front wheel drive hub motor to a rear wheel drive?
Second queation is what parts would I need to do this if it is feasilbe?
Thankyou for any help and input on this.

Hi Bill,
It can be converted, but I don't know whether the parts can be purchased separately. :-\
You would definitely need at least one new side cover (the freewheel side) and a new rear axle, but replacing the axle may require the use of a hydraulic or mechanical press, as they are a very tight interference fit into the stator housing.

Hi
I'd interested in the "old" MP, so you could by a rear variant instead. Exchanging the wheel and the bearings is quite a dead (I replaced all the default bearings with better once, after my first MP3 failed in the beginning; so I'd to do the same.
How much do you want and where do you live? About 10kg could be quite expensive around the world...

Reviving this old thread, because I want to ask if you know how I can get ahold of the MP5 hub’s drive side shell, in order to convert the 135mm front hub motor to a rear one. This hub is much too powerful to use up front.
Both the fork and rear dropouts of my bike are 135mm spaced, and the front disc brake mount is spaced the same as the rear as well.
Is it simply a matter of replacing the drive side shell? How can I get ahold of one?
Thanks in advance
