Here is a home built recumbent with a 33cc Robin/Subaru 4 stroke engine. I built it three years ago and it has become my favorite bike for long country rides. I will be converting it to electric so I can use it on paved bike paths. The battery pack will be mounted under the seat in place of the current engine.
I have read a few recent threads about small hub motors and partly based on that I have selected the following:
Q100 36v 328 rpm front hub motor in a 20 inch wheel
S06S 500w torque simulation sine wave controller
S-LCD3 Meter for S-series controllers
I already have a thumb throttle and 6 pole PAS
I plan to use 8s 6p lipo battery and expect top speed to be about 16 mph (26 kph), assuming that my 30v pack will run proportionally slower than 328rpm at 36v. And that range will be greater than 40 miles if I constantly pedal along.
I selected front drive because I have a Sturmey Archer rear drum brake which I would like to keep and because there is so much weight on the back that I would be concerned about the two-part axle in the Q motors.
I would like to place an order soon, but first wanted to ask if the components will work well together and is there anything else I should be getting. I am new to ebikes so any suggestions will be appreciated.
