Several problems always comes to mind with E-Assist, uncomfortable, damages the wrists, shoulders, spine, range, carrying capacity, being seen in traffic and that damn seat being shoved up your ass. A tadpole recumbent trike can solve all of those problems, if set up right. KMX Karts need not apply.
Start with a decent trike with Ackerman compensated steering.
Like the one on this baby here with the Bitex single hung hubs. Then stretch it out a bit to take the vibration out of the lousy roads and give your trike nice high speed stability. Put 30/355 wheels with 50/355 Schwalbe Big Apples to keep the ride smooth and the cornering crisp, on the front.
A sheepskin rug will keep you warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. A GM Pro 901 hub motor, Stand Alone CA, 18s2p Turnigy Lipo for errands around town and a 18s6p Turnigy Nano-Tech battery for touring. A Garmin 705 GPS and the Cyclemeter app to help you from getting lost. There is a real good app for the Android phones also. According to the CA log I've managed to get to 69.5 mph.So no entry into the 70 mph club yet.
I'm thinking of perhaps a C'Lyte H3525, Lyens 18 FET controller and a 20s battery, after I ride over to SeaTac WA,next month and before Tater TOT in the Spring.
Film at eleven. TTFN
