Would You Ride This Chain-Drive?

A standard bicycle transformed with a side-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheel through a direct chain connection. Instead of a hub motor, torque is injected straight into the drivetrain. Simple concept, high mechanical load.

Direct chain drive improves efficiency, but every extra watt stresses the frame, axle and chain alignment. At higher speeds, braking and structural integrity become the real test.

Would you trust this build for daily commuting, or only for short test rides?
