Would something like this: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/trego-tilting-trike-kit-for-sale-used-%C2%A3450.41575/#post-621991 be worth considering? You could have a 'normal' e-bike and convert it to a three wheeler quite easily.

The all up weight and the speed of the bike will be significant factors. When I was about 12 stone 7 pounds, it took me around 20,000 miles to wear through the front rim of my hard-tail MTB (on road use only) which was used in all weathers. It had cantilever brakes rather than V-brakes, but...

Your best bet is to contact Woosh directly and send them some photos of your bike. Their web-site lists some of the obvious 'gotchas' that you may encounter. On the face of it, your bike looks as though it would be OK for the DWG22C kit. You'll need clearance for a 180mm rear brake rotor and...

If you are happy with your present bike, then I'd look at converting it with one of the many kits available. You do need a bit of mechanical ability, but nothing too drastic. I bought my kit from Woosh bikes and have been more than satisfied with it. Range might be an issue for you if you are...

I had exactly the same thing when I tried to post a review. I tried again and it worked 2nd time round.

That looks a pretty neat rear disc conversion bracket - did you machine that yourself or was it a purchase?

I assume the stub axles are quite substantial to cope with the intended cargo weight. Do you know if the hubs use plain roller bearings or adjustable taper roller? Just curious.

Doesn't seem any worse than a 1970's era Kawasaki motorbike :)

What an excellent concept. Looking at their web-site, it doesn't seem to be too heavy or bulky. The overall width looks to be only about the same as normal handlebars, so shouldn't adversely impact the manoeuvrability advantages of a bike either. Great conversion.

If it is manufactured in the Far East, would it be a Chinese Wisper?

I recently fitted a Woosh kit to my tandem: https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#dwg22c-48v-kit My experience so far may be of use to you as the overall weights will be similar. See this thread for more details...

I too have recommended Woosh to other people because of their good reputation - which was borne out by my own experience in dealing with them. In several parts of their documentation, they are quite explicit in terms of advising that the kits are intended to be fitted by users with a very good...

Agreed - I've been pleasantly surprised by the power of the motor and the range of the battery. Woosh do seem to provide pretty honest and accurate information about their kits. Makes a nice change from some of the hopelessly optimistic claims you see bandied around!

What vfr400 has stated is correct in terms of how the PAS operates on my kit. My (12 magnet) PAS only needs a 90 degree rotation of the cranks to start working and it will keep the motor engaged even if the cranks are being rotated at a very slow rpm. I'm far from being an expert on e-bikes...

Hi Neil, I posted on the tandem club site too, but they make it quite difficult to upload images, so I also posted on here. The extra lever on the bars is an old-style MTB thumb-shifter and is used for the third (V-brake) on the back of the tandem. We don't go touring or carry heavy loads, so...

danfoto, that's great news, glad to hear it's doing the trick.

Excellent. I had just as much satisfaction in modifying my bike as I now do riding it. I bought a Woosh rear hub kit too and everything went together with a minimum of fuss. Enjoy the 'new' machine :)

My partner is also 60Kg and the standard spring at the minimum pre-load setting works fine for her. I couldn't get a soft spring a the time we bought our seatpost, but she's perfectly happy to keep using the standard spring as it takes away a lot of the road shock. The sleeve is just a...

You may be OK regarding the setback as most seatposts normally have some setback - the in-line seatposts are less common. As it happens, our tandem has an in-line post on the front and a Suntour NCX on the back so you may be able to see the difference:
