OK guess no one has done this before. Well since I have you guys here if I really screw it up, I am going to give it a try. Wish I still had my nuvinci hub now, but I will probably just K.I.S.S. it!
I recently acquired an Izip Tricruiser Motor Sub-assembly, $74,with the thought of converting an older Tadpole Trike to an Electric Quad. I have been on Utah Trikes page and except for the "posi traction" gearing on the quad conversion kit they sell, the mountings are very similiar and shouldn't...
thanks for the advice. But I don ot need a gearbox, reducuction or such. I just need a jackshaft kit that holds a freewheel on the LH side and a Fixed Gear on the RH side. With all due respect to Recumpence, I don't have $100's of $ to spend on a simple jackshaft. I figured out last night what...
I am totally ignorant when it comes to the items need for a jackshaft. What I need is a Jackshaft kit that comes complete with moutings, bearungs shaft, LHD freehweel capable with a fixed drive gear on the rh side. Is there a company that sells a complete kit. Sorry for my ignorance.

OK after fighting it for a year, I am finally giving in to more knowledgable folks and will be using a jackshft in my build. I am in need of a how to on jackshaft construction and installation. I understand the concept, just not the execution. here's my questions.
Is there a kit made for bikes...
Like I stated in the last post. The motor is a Currie not a knock oof. Should I put something on just because it costs more? Not evryone can afford a rc setup. Nough Said
I will be using this motor http://tncscooters.com/product.php?sku=106118
It will have a 20t freewheel mounted to it the way it is done here http://www.captainslug.com/temp/nem0_055.jpg
I looked for a long time till I found this thread on several site, including this one. Showed me it is...
Hey all,
After much research on this site and others, I finally came up with a way to install a freewheel on a 24v 450w geared motor. OK, my questions is, I can install the motor to drive my Nuvinci hub, using the same setuo for a sprocket welded to a freewheel adapter that staton has...
Found a solution for my problem. They finally started to make freewheels for electric motors available. 15t so it will work with my setup.
Thanks to all for the info.
Rick,
I did not miss the freewheel on the motor. If you look at my responce it says that I have not been able to find a 10mm freewheel. Which is the diameter of the motor I have. I agree that there will not be enough space. For the time being I am going to shelve the Idea. I am thinking about...
John,
I understand about what you are saying, and since I will not jump into a setup without alot of research, I may end up with the rhs drive. I do not need another disc brake, I have a tadpole trike that has disc brakes on the front. I wish someone that makes motors would have a 20mm...
Tyler,
the shaft on the motor is 10mm, I have not been able to find one that size.
Aussie,
that is exactly what i wanted to try. Now that I see it will turn out the way you showed that is defianlty on the top of the list.
RKO,
I like your Idea, but it looks like from the pics that you...
I don't see how you put a freewheel onto matts adapter. I don't want a fixed gear. I need a freewheel that will mount onto the LHS of a nuvinci hub. I don't want to use a jack shaft if I don't have to.
OK But where do I get the sprocket adapter. I have been looking and cannot find one other than the one I posted above. I will be running a LHD on a NuVinci Hub. The hub has a disc brake mount that I was hoping to figure out a way to mount to.
Would this work. http://www.choppersus.com/store/product/757/Trike-Freewheel-Adapter/. Looks like it attaches to the axel with a set scremm and then you mount the freewheel onto it.
