my First electric Recumbent Trike.

well my first one built, i stayed legal with a 250w rear. i have mad a few changes (larger wheels) it goes well quite nippy, but sneerings a bit twitchy. just need to tidy things up. it wasn't a cheep option compared with building one from scratch.

Doesn't she need a drivers license for that?

Yes the twitchy bit is the direct steering. Your battery would be better lower and under the seat for weight centering. How do you find the Crazy Bobs?

hi, it was a new battery i had so suited it, being honest unlike a bike you cant even feel the batteries on, crazy bobs seem ok got one on the way for the rear. to be honest i only built this one to have a mess, its going to be sold. got a couple more on the way and i'm going 500w on them.

I'd have trouble sneering as well if I rode that.

Looks like fun. I sold my recumbent trike a few years ago, and now I'm thinking of getting a new one.
