    I think no matter how hard you try, adding more unsprung weight to the rear triangle is not going in the right direction, which is: a light rear hub motor with low reduction ratio (eg Bafang SWX) or a crank drive kit.

    Brake sensor (3 wire, Hall?) - operating the wrong way round

    confirm first the active signal voltage with a voltmeter - measure between ground and signal. You should read 0V without the magnet and around 3.25V when the magnet is close to the sensor head like this:

    Conversion kit for bakfiets cargo bike - which would you choose?

    it's my mistake, the KR8 is a bike, not a trike. I should also have checked, it has roller brakes at the front. Zut! http://www.workcycles.com/products/child-transport-bicycles/workcycles-kr8

    here is the hi-res pic, good enough to zoom in the rear hangers if you want to have a look. the rear triangle seems pretty solid to me. I agree with d8veh that a crank drive would remove any worry.

    How to remove lock ring on TCM crank drive

    The thread is left handed and over time, can be very stiff. you need a special tool for it. You bolt the tool to the ring with the 8mm allen crank bolt and it the arms with a 16oz mallet. Please email andy@wooshbikes.co.uk

    you don't normally need a torque arm for a 250W rear hub motor. The main thing is to make sure that the motor axle sits deeply in the dropout and the anti-rotation washer is also properly inside the jaws. This is in fact straightforward, in most cases, just visually make sure that when you drop...

    PDQ wheelchair trike direct drive advice

    I don't think it's possible, Matthew. A kit for the ordinary bikes costs already in the region of £500. Even if you substitute the Lithium battery for a set of SLAs, it will only bring it down to around £400. If you buy from bmsbattery, it is a bit cheaper but there is still Paypal exchange...

    Heavy trike + rider + 3 kids = 200kgs? I reckon you'll need a BPM front hub kit and a rear rack battery. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#bpmrackkit

    BJ did not say who told him that 'there was no doubt about that'. maybe the guy who told Mr Johnson got it from the Daily Mail.

    I think your kit has too much torque. The Heinzmann DD brushed motor was just about right, you can get to perhaps 10mph max loaded with a very gentle start.

    If you have excellent brakes (like hydraulic brakes) and are not going to use the throttle, then the brake sensors may be omitted. if you want to proceed step by step: 1) connect the battery and LCD, switch on, make sure LCD comes on 2) connect the throttle, make sure the throttle works 3)...

    New Yose power 350 watt kit snags

    the brake sensors are usually active low, they stop the motor when the signal is shorted to the ground. A sensored brake lever can have yellow 3-pin (5V, signal, ground) or red 2-pin connector (signal and ground). For either type, don't plug them in when testing.
