Does that give significantly more torque?

I could manage the wiring from a rear battery, or from front control and rear driven. I think it would be possible to link the controls as well, to power a 250 W motor on each bike. Mot sure about the legalities when 2 bikes are powered but joined together.

Hi, we are in Lincolnshire too (Gainsborough), plan to get a bike converted shortly. Have you got a manual for the bike - service can't be that complicated. Must make commuting in Lincoln a lot easier, the traffic is terrible.

The Baboe wouldn't work. The rickshaw probably would, but we can get to a similar place by adding assistance to our current setup. Edit. He pedals a bit, but intermittent. The lack of pedalling is what limits the distance we can go.

Yes, under consideration, but the issue is stability.

The tag long had a rear basket, replaced with a plywood sheet, so potentially huge battery space available. Hub motor would be OK, just need to power the rear as this has a lotnof weight on it. Same for the brakes, the rear has part of the tag along weight, so should brake effectively. We are...

We have an autistic 14 year old who loves being out and about, especially on the tag along that we pull behind a push bike. The problem is that the Mission semi-trike tag along plus a 6' adult size teenager is a bit to much to drag around, even here in Lincolnshire. We are now looking at...

Yes, it's very flat here, so I hadn't really thought much about electric bikes before. We have a 14 year old autistic boy and have previously used a tag along 'trike' with a standard bike to get him out and about. He only pedals when he feels like it, and now he is 6' tall, it's too much work...
