**Measured by:** Tee (digital caliper)
**Motor:** 8" / 10x2.125 hoverboard hub motor (brushless, FOC ESC)
## Axle Profile (Stepped / Keyed)
## Axle Profile (Stepped / D-Cut Shaft)
The axle has a **stepped profile** — wider base near the hub, narrower keyed section for dropout clamping.
The axle has a **stepped profile** — wider base near the hub, narrower D-cut shaft above.

## Measurements
| # | Dimension | Value | Notes |
|---|-----------|-------|-------|
| 1 | Axle base diameter | **16.11 mm** | Near hub face |

## Tire Specs
- Inflate to **35 PSI** (240 kPa / 2.5 BAR)
- Size: 10x2.125 pneumatic
## Design Implications
- **Dropout clamp** must accommodate stepped profile: 16mm bore at base, 13mm keyed slot above
- **Anti-rotation** via flats (15.35mm flat-to-flat) — design dropout with matching D-profile
- **Axle length** (63.5mm) gives room for dropout plate + nut + washer
- **Dropout clamp** must accommodate stepped profile: 16mm bore at base, D-cut slot above
- **Anti-rotation** via D-cut flat (13mm across flat on a 15.95mm shaft)
- **Axle length** (65.5mm) gives room for dropout plate + nut + washer
- **Bearing seat** (37.8mm OD) — allow clearance on inner face of mount
