Best electric recumbent combo?
My favorite is a WizWheelz TerraTrike with a Currie motor. Runs like
new 3 years later, but I assist the motor with easy starts, overpowering it and shutting it off, etc. But that is only my preference, and it may not be someone elses. That same kit is on an EZ-1 in a LBS. Might be more what you had in mind. After all; what kind of nut rides a trike and cackles his fool head off while spinning donuts on crushed gravel?

I could write a book on this one, no wait I am writing a book on this one.
Depends on all kinds of stuff like the road surfaces you ride most often upon, head winds, climate, your weight, the weight of the bent, the type of battery chemistry desired, small rolling hills or big honking hills,how many watts of kinetic energy you will contribute to assist the motor and finally your desired range with the speed you wish to maintain. Ideally you match the bent and motor to the environment the driver (pilot) chooses to ride in. Having chosen to spend the balance of my miserable existence prior to shaking of this mortal coil devoted to electrofying bents and in particular trikes, I would suggest using a Crystalyte Hub Motor in a 20 inch rear tadpole or any 2 wheeler and pump 72 volts through it. You'll take most hills and have a crusie speed of 45 mph on the flats...more if you pedal to assist and a Mueller fairing and disc brakes cannot be optiona/ Joshua www.evsolutions.net (shameless commercicial content) "Slugger" wrote in message ...
