Boy that brings back memories.  On my first EV I used a metal bracket to
bolt the motor to the frame lug for the rear brake caliper.  When the torque
bent the bracket I added two big monster zip ties (3/8" wide) to pull the
motor to the bike frame.  Rather stunning demonstration of torque when the
zip ties immediately broke.

Life is hard. But it's harder if you don't know how the world works!
