Mr. Kepler; I have been lurking on this thread for a while, following your process and gaining knowledge as I go. I salute you for a well executed development plan! There are a couple of issues which I still find puzzling . First, as far as power goes. How would your set up compare to an...

Just a quick note by a trike guy of nearly 10 years.. The plus'es are: Comfort...At 66 I find I can still ride 4-5 hours with no problem at all and up to 8 hours with no back,butt or neck problems...the old legs feel like like you might expect from multiple hours of effort. ( As with every...

I must take issue with the idea of an ebike that 35 mph is a "safe minimum". Potential Kinetic Energy ( the amount of energy which will need to be dissipated in an accident), increases exponentially with increases in speed or weight. Bicycles are loosely regulated because the total Potential...

Yeah, we got that google thing installed here in Memphis about a year ago.. Still not sure if it's gonna be much use. I did contact the mfg via electric mail ..but ain't heard back..may I'll send them a telegraph message. 8)

Folks, I work with a non-profit community bike shop in Memphis , Tn. We were recently gifted with 5 new old stock and 7 used Powabyke brand Ebikes and am looking for some technical documentation. I have contacted the MFG but so far have not heard back. I am wondering if any one on this forum...

Thanks for the quick response.. My multi-meter can be a bit Fluke (y) Bill

I have a BBS02 and I am trying to validate the voltage on the throttle control wire. It looks like the voltage being sent to the controller is 0 (no throttle) to 4.2 (wide open). Is that pretty close to what it should be? Thanks in advance , Bill

Not a total newby..I do have a DIY hub-motored trike which I have used for a couple of years. For my current project I have chosen to use a BBS02 to Nuvinci Hub setup on a Terra Tryke Rover. Given that it is still too cold to work in my shed, I removed the trikes boom and brought it inside to...

I don't know about Stephen2, but I usually don't log into this site unless I am actually posting a message. I do come to the site about once a week,as guest, for "continuing education". On the electrification of trikes I have both experience and opnion. I put a 250 watt 36 volt mac motor on my...

I'm in the planning stages of creating an Etrike for my wife based on her Rover. I've begun the research , mostly on this site, and am currently leaning towards a bafung mid-drive. I have two of the early production run rovers both of which have 8000+ miles on them. My wife's rig has a Nuvinci...

You may want to call Tom at trident trike. I had the opportunity to discuss the engineering behind the trident e-trike with him recently and was very impressed with his knowledge and experience regarding motorized trikes in general. He is more than willing to share his knowledge. He indicated...

I had the opportunity to test ride a Trident Etrike recently and these are my impressions: ( My basic points of refference are my other trikes , a tt Rover 8 , a sun ez-x3, and a catrike trail. Since the only e-bike experience I have is on other folks home builds I don't have a great point of...
