Good evening,
Having stuck a rear hub motor into an old 3 x 9 speed mountain bike hardtail, i'm finding that I can't pedal fast enough to offer any decent assistance on my daily commute, thus draining the battery to quickly. I'm currently using a shimano deore 44t outer chainring and was hoping to switch this to a 54(ish) road style ring, but having trouble finding a 4 bolt version.
My commute is pretty flat so I wouldn't need to switch down to a middle/inner ring and could therefore live without a front mech.
Does anyone manufacture a larger shimano compatible 4-bolt chainring or should i be looking for another solution to offer pedal assistance?
Many thanks.

    48T is the biggest readily available.
