I will be using a 200mm wheel and a 170kv 6374 motor and I want a balance between speed and torque.
How does the ratio in a chain drive work? Is it the same as a belt drive?
Where/what stores are chain drives/parts available? Links please.
Thanks!
The ratio is the same but the teeth count is less. Like 9/40 or 10/40 or 10/42 Depends for sure on your requirements

Unikboards’ would’ve been perfect! I just need the wheel and motor sprocket + chain. But it’s out of stock… Anywhere else I can find a set like it?

You can get your motor sprockets and chains from here pretty cheap https://www.gearsandsprockets.co.uk/simplex-sprockets/
I would go with iso 06b
I would sent a pm to @Nowind about wheels sprockets. He might have some in stock depending on your hubs.
You can also get wheel sprockets from the side you I linked but you would need to drill the hole pattern etc by your own.
One more option I totally forgot about could be https://www.overion.fr/produit/kits-de-transmission-pour-motorisation-electrique/

Which hubs you have?
Just remind I have some new wheels sprockets at home for trampa hypa hubs 
In case that’s what you looking for.
It’s actually for an experiment/project I’m doing to “electrify” a kick scooter.
I would have the ones you can see on the picture
If you anyhow make it as school project I think you can find all you need on the gears and sprockets website and just modify it to your needs.

yeah ! I just got one sprocket left in stock that I can send you for free but usually people go dual. I’ll get new ones by end of Feb but I can’t recommend enough to contact @Nowind !

Is there a cheap place in the US? Lots of the EU sites are cheaper but shipping kills it
McMaster Carr. Depends on what meterial you get but it’s a hit or miss
At $15 for a single motor sprocket? I don’t have $80 to blow on that
I mean they are top quality and you get what you pay for but still
Than order from China…you get something cheap, with a bit luck even what you ordered.
