Looking to convert my wife's fat tire Sun Baha trike to front wheel direct drive. Looking at the Leeds and the e-trike kits. Would like to know which or these two, or another, you all would recommend and why. Thanks.
I put a mid drive motor on my schwinn Meridian Tricycle (battery bolted to the basket and it works great! Saw to many video examples of front wheels spinning out on startup. I just feel like I get a better peddle-assist experience with a mid drive.
No, you're right. I usually stick with PA between 1 - 3 depending on the amount of fussing my knees are making that day. The only times above that is when personal safety (being forced to "take the lane" or being in to a situation without so much as a painted lane) is a concern. Then I gladly thumb the throttle and my nose at the critics 😇!
Mostly I am more concerned with utility than speed. I don't think anyone rides a trike, short of gas powered, for the thrill of it. I would be on a bicycle towing a trailer if I could but I have vestibular problems.
