VegasTriker, I considered some recumbent trikes including the one you suggest, but I chose the upright one. Remember I am not coming at this from an able-bodied perspective; I have more factors to deal with here. Sorry. But take heart, I am not stopping here; a motorcycling-level budget goes a long way in the e-bicycle world. I may put together another machine, when this one is done.
I'll already have a lot of parts!
@
elizilla A thought just hit me......are you doing this with the hub motor wheel? if not do you know what hub motor wheel you are getting in the future and what it specs are? I would be a pain to start over if the hub motor wheel did not support all of what you are doing. And is the wheel cassette or freewheel?
