My almost new trike. It has 200 miles on it. It is an HP Scorpion fs 26. German made. Full suspension. The first step I think was the toughest step. I have a 3/8" x 11 x 13 plate nicely installed below the seat. I was the helper. I don't weld anything. Still making it happen was like a marathon. And at the halfway point you stop to wrestle a bear and then finish the marathon. But it is done!
The 3/8" aluminum plate is welded in 4 places to gussets and the gussets are attached to existing bolt holes with replacement bolts that are a little longer for the gussets. It is solid, strong and overbuilt. The way I like it. The battery and other stuff will live there.
I got a 3540 crystalite hub and a 48v 20ah Lithium manganese. What are the letters to indicate the chemistry? I have a shimano shifter, chain for 7 speed, derailer, in the mail and should be here soon. Then the build will continue....
I'm glad the almn. plate is done.
