Hi, I am in the process of fitting a Tonsheng mid drive motor to a recumbent trike. The bottom bracket is out in front and the supplied speed sensor and remote control switch leads are too short. So I need to purchase two extension leads one five pin, one six pin both male to female, the...

Thanks for all your comments. In summary it appears that no one has actually purchased a kit. I found one UK review from, I think, 2017 which was positive but who knows what the service and back up is like in 2023? My dilemma is that I either fit a Tongsheng mid drive purchased in kit form...

Hi, Has anyone any comments about the Geeko conversion kit from 100g ? (https://www.100g.tech/product/geeko-rear/) best wishes Simon

#Nealh Many thanks for your reply. Its good to know that the TSDZ2 is useful without power. I shall probably give one a try. Simon

Hi, I have tried a search but have not found any specific information about the TSDZ2 crank motor. I am looking to fit a conversion kit to my ICE recumbent trike. At the moment I have two e-bikes both fitted with geared hub motors . Both of these work very well and one strength is that they...

Hi all, Thanks for your replies which have been helpful. While a recumbent is more aerodynamic I only really notice an advantage when going down hill. I think I have hit fifty mph on the odd occasion, I say think because the vibration was so bad that I could not see my speedo. My more normal...

Hi, I have an ebike fitted with a 36volt geared hub motor (mahle X35) which I like because of its light weight and that the bike rides well unpowered. Now I am looking to fit a motor to my recumbent trike. The trike has 20 inch wheels and so far I have not found a UK supplier of a hub motor...

Hi, While expensive I have found the Redshift Shockstop to be really effective. It looks good as well. Only available in 27.2mm size so may not fit or will require shims.

I've sent an email to Woosh asking what they have in stock. I think that snow is a time for studded tyres and a trike so not getting off the drive could be viewed as a safety feature ;-). "Ideally, you need steel forks." not a problem as all my bikes have them, I'm not a great fan of...

Thanks for both your responses. The discussion may be moot as new bikes of any type are thin on the ground at present. Both of your comments and my own experience with the Nano Brompton are pushing me towards a hub motor, after all 9000 miles on one motor is impressive and I remember how hilly...

Hi, I am trying to understand the options and merits of conversion kits and ride away ebikes. I'm in the UK and want to stay street legal and I have a Brompton Nano conversion and many years ago I had half a day on a KTM 29er fitted with a Bosch mid drive motor. The KTM was great fun but it...

Thanks for the link - obvious when I think about it. best wishes Simon

Hi, I have a Brompton Nano conversion that uses a twist grip throttle. Unfortunately despite removing the fierce throttle close spring I find the throttle uncomfortable to ride with and would like to change it to push button power selector. I believe that my present throttle is made by Wuxing...
