Im beginning to get interested in recumbent trikes or more specifically Electric recumbent trikes.
Ive never rode a recumbent before, but i think i might want to bite the bullet and just go for it. Does anyone have any experience with these bikes?
I think id like to get a trike and electrify it myself. The simplest option seems like it would be to buy a recumbent and then just put a hub motor on it. Ive seen a few with mid drives, but depending on frame size and shape, it could require a bit of hacking and welding and i think i just want something easy. Not sure, but my ultimate goal might be to make this thing a velomobile.
What do you guys/girls recommend? 2 wheels in the rear, 2 in the front, 2 in both the rear and front? Any idea where a good place to buy these are? I live in Denmark and have seen a few on ebay, but nothing that really catches my eye... Also, ive seen they sell some on alibaba, but are they shite recumbents? Heres one i just found https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Custom-Color-ZZMERCK-Electric-Folding-Recumbent_60592773346.html at that price im sure the electric kit is really bad, but its just to show you that they are out there.
