Hi Folks .
I might have been quiet of late but another trike has come out of the garage .
Any similarities to anything else is purely coincidental or even incidental .
The past few months have been a mixture of car repairs , a new caravan ( and sorting it out ) , lots of triking holidays ,day rides and some home refurbishment , we still have a lot to do before I can spend more time building as we are trying to do more triking before the weather breaks and Jadis starts to leave her frosty touch on the countryside and the country falls into a dark, sad and cold state.
Specification wise
Its a 20" wheel e-trike with a mesh seat , Under seat steering , huge 203 mm front discs with a 160mm rear , cable actuated with a brake doubler on the front brakes , I think I may have gone a little overboard this time as the trike will sit on its nose UNLESS the tyres don't grip
.
It is now going through its shakedown testing prior to fitting its tow hitch and mudguards , Hopefully it will stop with a loaded trailer behind .
and become a useful camping /touring e-trike
Fitted with a 24v 26" wheeled q100 motor built into a 20" rim running 37 volts ( a 10ah LifePo4 battery ) with a LCD display showing 5 levels of e-assist and restriction software . The controller is fitted with both a throttle and pedelec sensor , this should make it a little less hungry on battery.
21 speed , 52/42/32 through to a 7speed 11-32 DNP freewheel gives a wide range of gearing from 95" down to 20" enough to cover the hills around here . the 52-11 being high enough to assist the motor while cruising at a higher touring speed with bar end changer .
The rear lamps and cree front lights are fitted to the extensions on the seat to allow me to get the lamps at a sensible distance from the ground .
I would hope it should have a range of 20miles plus with an interesting performance
So far it gives the appearance that it should.
