The rear wheel is not special as I said, but I omitted to say that special (proprietary) dropouts will be required to mount a rear hub motor whether it be from Helix or any other manufacturer. Obviously a proprietary battery pack can be made by Helix to fit anywhere they choose in the "innovative way" which has yet to be revealed. I'm sorry for any confusion that I've caused.
Ahh...no apology necessary....now I understand why you are waiting for Helix to do it, though. That does limit a rear wheel install. What about a front hub motor system? Will Helix take a standard front wheel with a hub laced?
