Making all that hardware and making it work right, Is something I would never try.
I wonder if it would be possible to create a thin-walled bike tire that you could load up with magnets (and spacers) inside of it?
Seems like you could get the pickup coils within 5mm or so.
Maybe design a coil loop that was curved inwards in the shape of the bottom of the tire.
(With the curved section as long as one magnet).
With the other side the loop extended directly away from the tire.
