In the future I want to build a touring trike to travel long distances. The issue is overheating on long steep hills considering that the whole setup including my own weight would be in excess of 300lbs, a lot to ask from a single motor. Thinking of the possibility of using an all wheel drive...

I am in the process of designing a small catamaran for use on mellow rivers and lakes. Should come in at <300lbs with me, 350 watts of flexible solar, about 3kw lithium batteries, and the boat, etc. I'm very skinny... Problem is finding an efficient but reasonably priced and lightweight motor...

If you were to spring both sides would that not prevent loss of contact?
