How are you liking the Mxus 3T? and what size battery pack did you put in it?
I like your adaptto screen mount. interested to know what front brakes you used
and if you ended up using a steering dampener? if you did could you post some details on that.
Interesting battery box never seen one quite like it, would love to see some more pics.
Thanks! The mxus 3t seems great. Went with 20s 10Ah for the moment. I thought of bumping it up to 21 or 22s, but from what I've read 20s is the sweet spot. Room to fit up to 30Ah with no problem. I ran it as fast as the back roads would allow on a single charge and had no problem doing 12 to 14 miles with it and still room left. If this were for commuting I could easily add a rear rack and panniers to go to 50Ah or more. Since he is mainly going to take it with him to the track to show off to people, he won't need the longer range.
Adaptto mount took me a few months of kicking ideas around and how to best have it mounted. Obviously wherever it is the person will have to look down to some degree. Where it is feels more like looking at the speed in your car while driving.
The "battery box" is a full lower deck plate, and everything creates a sort of Unified body/ frame. Everything is interconnected and it makes the whole trike body very strong. I've not seen anything done quite the way I'm doing it.
Steering damper honestly might help some, but so far don't see needing it yet. It will without question steer very quick, so at higher speeds you absolutely have to stay focused when riding.
