Pretty sure they still have them. Shoot them an email, they’re good to deal with directly. Even if they ran out, I bet they’ll get more.
I did email them.

You guys know anything about the larger (19") hub motors on AliExpress for E-moto builds? Something like this as a quick search example: super power QS V3 48v 72v 8000W e bike kit motorcycle electric bike motor wheel with waterproof Sabovon controller TFT display|Electric Bicycle Motor| - AliExpress
Think this makes sense for my e-dirt-moto build, or should I go with an external DC motor? I’ve got 4 pretty decent size brushed DC motors that I got salvage… They look like the motors I see people buying for electric car conversions, about the size of a 5-10hp AC induction motor, but unfortunately, no data plate on them at all. I could pretty easily shoe-horn one of these in there, well, probably 3 if I had a way to link them up reasonably, but a hub motor sure sounds a fuck ton easier… 
I know jack-shit about bikes to be fair. I’m just pissing in the wind, appreciate any input.

Can’t do hubs on a dirt bike, the unloaded weight makes the ride horribly uncomfortable and unbalanced although they’re great for street riding.

Thanks man, that’s exactly the sort of shit I need to be told. This bike def not for street, hard mountain riding only. When you guys start wondering “what happened to that Javan guy?” it’s because this fucker got me killed… 
EDIT: Looks like these BDC motors I’ve got may be perfect. Series wound 7" diameter, reading on some EV forums seems to be what’s recommended for electric motorcycle builds.

Uhh didn’t notice but these are weird 7 sided nuts that I don’t have a tool for so I’m glad I didn’t cancel those one I ordered from Amazon.

Ive been creeping/peeping this thread now for a while. I noticed in my research that it’s essentially impossible to buy a rear ebike hub motor without also buying a controller as a “kit”. I have spare ESC’s laying around. Have any of you found a place that will sell just the rear hub?

Thanks for the gratuitous nut shots!
I didn’t notice the 7 sides either, but I guess it makes sense to provide some security, otherwise there would have been a ton of hubless unicycles littering the streets instead of two wheeled e-bikes.

I think I’ve seen some of those on Alibaba but I don’t know if the price is the same
