Hi Forum I'm kind of a newbie but I feel I,m starting to get up to speed on the ebike world. LOT'S to LEARN!!
My first post was about a 1980's nashbar mountain Bike . This post is about another project. As mentioned before I'm and older big guy 290# I have a 16 year old daughter that has a disability that does'nt allow her to ride a bike. We are blessed here in Columbia Mo with a very good bike trail system which hookes up to the a railes to trailes system that runs across missouri. I'm hoping to do some over night trips on this system whith this bike.
I'm just did the first test ride on this front load cargo trike that I'm building and I'm calling it a success.It cruises nice at slow speeds which is all I need.Top speed wil be 10-15 mph. Safety first!!
This is were you all come in I want to Electrifiy it.
I need to do a couple of short 15 Degree hills to get to the trail. My Daughter weighs about 90#. The cargo bike is all chromoly so not overly heavy.
I'm thinking geared rear hub but will the gears handle this kind of weight!! Grim suggests a gmac. Other vendors say it has to be direct drive because gears can only do 300#.
I want to get a 20+ amphour battery which can be mounted on the front of the bike.48 to 52 volt I think.
Mid drive motor also is a possibility if that is the way to go.
FYI THE S. WHEEL IS JUST FOR SHOW.
Suggestions Are welcome Thanks Chris
