Hi everyone,
First post here, although I have been reading around generally. We are just about to get a recumbent trike for my daughter who has balance issues and we are planning to electrify the rear hub (20 inch) to help here come on walk/rides with the rest of the family.
Ideally a system that is super easy to operate, mainly for pedal assist, but would be good for it to be possible for her to run it purely on a throttle if necessary. We won’t be going huge distances and she isn’t very heavy, so a modest battery and motor capacity should be sufficient. Simple visual display for her to use, even if there are more complex setup menus to delve into.
Any recommendations on what would be a good system and where to buy from. I am used to looking after the rest of the family bikes, doing electrics etc so fitting a kit feels like it a very doable. Would prefer to simply buy the whole wheel ready to go and either swap over or buy a new cassette. The trike will already be pretty pricey, so not paying someone vast amounts of money to fit something no better than something I could fit seems pointless.
Any pointers appreciated
Thanks
