I have a permanently weak right leg after a big operation. Considering a motor for my recumbent trike, I've come up against a question that I can't find an answer to:
If I fitted a torque sensing motor, like the tongsheng, will it detect and respond differently to the difference in power on the L/R pedal stroke? I'm concerned that this would give a stuttering output and a very strange ride. Power difference L/R is about 100/60, so not a trivial difference. I guess if even if the software averages out the torque sensor input over a complete pedal rotation, that might still mean that leg + motor combined might be different between the l and r pedalstrokes.
Any clarity gratefully received...
