Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'm thinking doing away with the crankshaft altogether and replace it with a straight shaft that would tie the primary drive/clutch to the electric motor. This shaft would be supported by the stock main bearings. Nothing to get out of balance here!!

Like I said nothing the Chinese have done here couldn't be done on a donor motor.

Anyone who's ever dived into one of these Honda motors knows how simple they are and tying an electric motor on the side of one was simply the easiest way to "electrify" it. Having a full gearbox is kind of a novel idea with an electric motor and I can't say I've ever seen it done prior to this. Anyone else ever seen this done?
