In another thread, the experts here convinced me to go with a rear hub motor instead of a BBSHD mid drive on my HP Gekko comfort trike. After reading the GRIN website and a few emails with Hayley there, I have decided on ordering a GMAC Super H kit.
GMAC SuperH Kit
I chose this kit because I do not like the V3 Cycle Analyst display, it looks too complicated for me and since the display is where most of the wires go it seems ill suited for a trike with very little horiizontal real estate. I like the 600 display available with super h kit better.
So this is my order, I just have a few questions about cable extensions needed and a few other things. I ran this kit on the simulator and it looks like it will work just fine for my needs (total weight me, bike and dog 300lbs, mostly flat Florida riding, 25 mph)
GMAC super H kit rear: GMAC SuperH Kit
GMAC 10t wind
Cassette: None, using Sram cassette on the trike
Disk rotor: None
Rim for geared hub: 26 DM 30
Spokes: Sapim strong silver
GRIN wheelbuild: Yes
Controller: V6 L10 baserunner
Controller Mount: None, I think it fits inside my Hailong Shark battery S039-3 48V 13ah, see photo attached
Display Model: 600 integrated
Display harness: Main 9
Throttle: Thumb throttle with clamp, 40 cm Higo 3 pin
Ebrake: None see questions below
Pedal Sensor: 24 pole PAS (see question below)
Any comments or suggestions most appreciated, be advised I know nothing about bike mechanis, electric motors and cables etc, just trying to order complete kit so my mechanic can install.
Ok,Questions I have
1. Am I correct that controller will mount inside my hailong battery?
2. My Gekko comfort has a single brake caliper with dual activator cables on the right handlebar, this really simplifies braking do not want to lose it. The superharness ket only comes with Ebrake levers digital, Hayley at Grin said I could use the Ebrake push pull tripwires if some soldering was done. I have no idea how to do this perhaps I can order an ebrake sensor like bafang makes that needs no modification? Pull Tripwire (50cm Cable)
3. Pedal sensor, I think my trike has the space by the crank to use the 24 pole PAS, have to go check at the shop.
4. extension cables needed.to connect everything. Baserunner - Grin Products - Product Info
Attached is a schematic I drew of the GMAC super H kit with distances between components. I need to figure out what cable extensions my mechanic will need to install the system on a trike.
Controller to battery, think I have enough length already, just need a couple andersson connectors to attach
motor cable to controller is 38 cm long, this should reach as battery/controller are right next to rear wheel
6 pin PAS sensor, distance from crank to controller = 150 cm
( pin mains cable The V4 Baserunners also feature a 9 pin waterproof plug that brings out the cables commonly used in ebike wiring topologies with a main signal harness that splits out at the handlebar into throttle, ebrake, 3rd party display, and light connectors. 600 display and throttle will mount on left handlebar, ebrake sensor will mount on right handlebar (where single brake caliper - dual activaator is mounted. Distance from left or righ handlebars is 100 cm.
I am sure all this is remedial to you guys but my hair catches on fire when I try to figure it out. Would appreciate it greatly if you could answer my questions above and also provide links to the exact cables I need to make this kit work on my trike. Just trying to make it easy for my mechanic.
