So actually having some experience with a Bafang mid drive kit the Q-factor issue was worse than I thought. I built a kit for someone else, an older one with square taper cranks. Works great, even with the terrible chainline. Also very little noise, quieter than a new off the shelf bike with Bosch stuff for sure.

I've seen the heavilly dished after market Luna sprockets that overhang the motor housing, or I guess the gear housing? Those seem to solve the chainline issue pretty well.

But that Q-factor, totally unrideable by me anyway, my knees are just not up for that. Is there any kit that has just normal-ish width cranks? Even mountain triple width is fine, nothing crazy narrow. The unevenness though is the real problem, again anything solving the issue?

Obviously the built in Bosch unit pretty much handles it, but the price is just way out there for even the most basic complete bike. I also have a really good bike here to convert if I could figure out the couple issues I have.

Thanks for any input you might have.
