I got an order for a custom motorized trike with super long range and came up with this.
The front light is a 1200 Lumen CREE T6 LED with a 4 lithium 18650 battery pack.
The rear sports 3 12V incandescent automotive trailer lights in series with a switch across the 36V battery.
Above is the 24-48V Cyclone-e-bikes motor with freewheel sprocket and underneath you can see the 7-speed Kent Bayside trike derailleur and band brake.
Also note the rear light switch and the exposed end of the charger for simply plugging in a universal appliance cord to charge it.
In between the motor and axle is the dual sprockets attached to a special freewheel bearing that the right crank arm screws into so when the motor is running the pedals ratchet in place, when you pedal the motors sprocket ratchets in place, and of course you can use both at the same time.
My custom back box between the trike frame and basket holds the custom 36V 1KW/h 50A battery, controller and charger.
It tops out about 25MPH in 7th and a crazy wheelie popping monster in 1st and 2nd.
I have no idea what the range is, I didn't get time to fully test it, but I rode it around hard for 1/2 and hour, let it sit for 25 hours with the back lights on, then rode it around hard for another 1/2 an hour and the throttle indicator still said it had a full charge so I figure 30 miles minimum if not much more than that even with no pedal help.
