So I bit the bullet and bought a KMX recumbent trike kit. I'm ditching my crappy walmart bike, just took the cyclone 3000 motor off of it. I'm getting terrible Wh/mile on it and its being torn apart by the torque.
I'm not familiar with recumbent trikes so I'm looking for build advice.
This is my order list so far.
Back wheel-https://www.bikeengines.com/shop/eagle-velocity-26-rear-wheel-w105g-spokes-silver/
Back tire-http://www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-99.html
Front tire-http://www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-96.html
Front brakes-http://www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-289.html
Chain-http://www.utahtrikes.com/PROD-234.html
BB-https://lunacycle.com/isis-bottom-bracket-83mm-for-cyclone/
Sprocket-https://lunacycle.com/parts/cyclone-parts/cyclone-double-sprocket-kit-for-trikes-recumbents-and-pedicabs/
I'll use the rear brakes and derailleur from my existing bike.
I picked the 83mm BB but I don't know what the actual BB size is for the KMX kit, does anyone know?
Is there anything else I'm missing? Any advice?
