Hi all.
i am currently in the process of paying off my new recumbent trike. (HP Velotechnik Scorpion FS)
i expect to take delivery sometime in august.
my current ebike has an ezee geared hub and 20A controller (limited to 15A so battery reasons)
running 48V lifep04 (59V FOC and about 52V nominal)
im really happy with the performance of the ezee. it suits my riding style with only using it for assist,
rather than as an electric motorbike. i like the very good starting torque it has to offer,and it's hill climbing ability.
i have decided that the trike will be fitted with the new V3 CA and torque sensing bottom bracket when these become readily available.
i wish to set it up with no throttle and run it like a bionx system. power will be 12S 30C lipo at 8000 mah. ill have 2 sets of these packs.
one for shorter rides, and the 2nd set for longer rides. ill swap out the battery when required.
the trike has 20" wheels.
what's a good direct drive motor with similar performance (in a 20" wheel) to the ezee hub (in a 700C wheel)
im considering the DD option for 3 reasons. 1st is that it will be quieter. 2nd is the ability to run regen.
3rd is now im going to run lipo, i don't have to worry about limits of the power source. (12S 30C 8000 lipo)
one motor that has been recommended to me so far is the Crysatlyte HS4840.
also, what controller should i be looking at, taking into account 12S lipo and i want regen.
ill be looking at building up the E-trike in around 6 months, so i have plenty of time to get the parts list organized.
doesn't matter if the wheel is disc compatible or not, the trike only has a v brake for parking on the rear wheel.
dual discs up front though.
thanks in advance.
Jason.
