GMAC vs Grin All Axle vs Dual Drive Catrike

Remember that if you have traction problems now, with only pedal power, it's not going to improve because of the motor power. You should probably fix the traction problem *first*, make sure it works in all your riding conditions, and then add the motor assist.

If it's like most recumbent tadpoles, rear wheel traction issues are due to screwy weight distribution rather than tires. Putting the battery and motor in back should help a little, but putting motors in the front should help a lot.

FH212 is a pretty good motor. if you have a 24" wheel or above.

Nan its a 20 inch, so i went with the faster winding + im aiming for torque and not top speed, according to grin 20 inch with this motor gives quite a bit of low end torque but less top speed (im doing max 30km and hour and then auto regen kick in at 35 km per hours)

yes, but for those 2 trikes that i bought used first recumbent experience, im doing single rear, but if we realy love it and do more then 3000km per summer we will consider buy new one that are a perfect fit and doing a dual front motor, always need a projet for the future XD
