My son and I are doing a multi day bike ride this summer and although we are within the total weight of the trike (TerraTrike Tandem Pro), we are not within the 175 pound weight limit for the rear 20" tire (Schwalbe Marathon Plus 20x1.75), where my son is the stoker. I would like to convert the...

It is a Sempu T2.3, the current one they are selling at Grin (sure hope it is okay to link to their image). Not sure if it matters or if this helps, but I do have a Potentiometer for throttle power adjustment and a two button Digital Aux Input to adjust the PAS from 0-4.0 for the Sempu. Both...

I have installed a Sempu torque sensor bottom bracket with my new Cycle Analyst 3, Phaserunner and Crystalyte H3525 UFO Rear Motor. I’ve tried several different settings and just not having any luck getting the Sempu to work properly. Could sure use the wisdom of others here to help me figure...

It seems the problem was user error....me! I altered the PR settings, but most likely the problem occurred because i corrupted some deep setting due to BAUD the communication rate while trying to upload to the PR. Once I lowered the BAUD communication rate, I was able to reestablish...

I recently bought a Phaserunner, Crystalyte H and a CA3. Did the auto tune when first installed and have been working for a week to get everything neatly installed and mounted properly on my recumbent trike. Today I modified the Phaserunner settings to better align it with the correct...

My first one was the same Voilamart 1000w rear hub motor kit and I found out with their PAS system, it pretty much has only one speed, full speed! This was confirmed by the seller. So, I bought a Cycle Analyst 3 and it fixed everything. You unfortunately still have to leave the sw900...

As a followup to this post I started, I bought a Cycle Analyst 3 and it solved all my problems. Once I discovered how great the CA3 is, how much you can program it, I'm now going to buy Grin controller and Crystalyte motor for my new trike.

Thanks for the ideas. I installed it on the idler and it worked great!

Did my first DIY recumbent etrike install, have 750 miles so far, love it but have some questions. I bought a 26” Voilamart 48V 750/1000W rear brushless gearless hub motor. At 1000W it does 33 mph on flat ground, at 750W option it does 17.8 mph max on flat ground, despite the sellers claimn of...

Has anyone tried attaching the pedal assist sensor to one of the idler pulleys on a trike? I have TerraCycle chain idlers and they are exactly the same diameter as the plate with the magnets, I'm thinking I could bolt the magnetic plate on to the idler pulley using it's existing bolt holes...
