I'd like to electrify a recumbent trike, and I think I narrowed it down to what I need/want.
So based on that, I think I just need a small-medium rear hub. Being quiet would be a nice to have. I know SX2 and MG310 have helical gears. Anyone else? There's the Q128C and XF08C, which I think are straight gears.
What are the recommendation in late 2021 and early 2022 for a hub that might fit the bill?
Reason for electrification: go further without over exhaustion. Don't need help climbing hills. I have gears on the front and a 9SP mega-range in the back. I need the exercise. Electric to basically coast at maybe 15-16mph on flat stretches to relax legs here and there.
- Max speed I'd ever want to go: about 20mph
- Total weight: approx. 250lb without electric gear
- Drive wheel size: 24"
