    Anyone want a battery?

    I finally had to replace by large 52v battery pack on my trike - the one I have had for well over three years started acting strange as the temps dropped around here - on hot days with a full charge, it seemed to be OK, but when a bit cooler, or after dropping voltage level a bit, maybe to 80%...

    Brake cutoff switches in the cold

    I am using magnetic lever-attached brake sensors on my mid-drive trike, and normally they work great. They have allowed me to use some short-pull flat bar style levers that do not have any built in switching. I have noticed that on cold-weather rides, the sensors often stay "on" even after...

    [sold] 1000-1500W hub motor, KT controller, extras

    I am selling my gently used 9C clone hub motor - it is laced to a 26" wheel, and I am including a fairly new KT Sine Wave 45W 18 mosfet controller - also some of the various items removed from my trike, as I recently swapped from this hub set up to a mid-drive. Photos of this gear on the trike...

    Hub to Mid conversion for a trike - talk me out of it.

    I have previously converted my older tadpole trike to hub drive - using 52v battery, generic 9C clone 1000w motor and KT sine-wave controller. Works well, and I able to do about 30mph throttle alone. What I don't like is dealing with the larger controller, the weight of the big hub motor, and...

    Battery charge and balance questions

    I have been riding my trike more lately, so also charging more often. I have a big Li-Ion 52v 22ah battery, and a 3A charger, marked "58.8v" which seems correct. I am monitoring the output voltage with an accurate meter, but the numbers there match my voltmeter as well as the KT LCD voltage...

    Fans for active controller cooling

    I have a KT controller mounted in a rigid tailbox on my trike - its mounted to the hinged lid. I have added holes front and back of the box to encourage air flow, but do not have a good way to run the controller out in the open - need to keep it dry, and keep the wiring harness tidy. So far, on...

    ActionBent Trike Conversion

    A few pics of my 1000w hub motor trike conversion. I purchased the trike new in 2008 and rode it for quite a while before motorizing. ActionBent was importing a number of Taiwan-built aluminum-frame recumbents, and are now defunct as a company, but the original manufacturer still sells under the...
