Will do and thank you moon!

Yes you are absolutely right, your calculations are correct. About 67/70Wh / mi.
But I only use it on paths on grass and dirt roads on slopes.

In what program did you make the spacer? Any chance you are willing to share it?

Iā€™m designing a spacer to be a bit lessā€¦ Bead to bead dimension at about 60mm
Presently the hubs are 35mmā€¦ So a 25mm spacerā€¦

Iā€™d settle for a STEP file or mechanical drawing off MoeStoogeā€™s spacers.

So some questions, does widening the hubs actually count considerably for stability/traction etc?

Also call me stupid, but you can just widen the rim and the tires will form to a wider shape with them? No extra things needed to add?

And lastly, does it actually increase the chance of tires ripping because they were not meant to be stretched this way?
