    anyone ever put a motor on a 2 seater trike?

    Hmm your tone is wrong. These companies are selling motor kits, without giving any details on brands or batteries used, and charging outrageous prices (just one example) no idea what economy means in this sense, or what wheel it is on,or what brakes are used ...

    http://www.hyperpowersports.com/products/new-2016-hyper-racing-gold-2000-watt-60v-electric-scooter-white-in-stock.html I get that this has a crappy leadacid battery, but that can be replaced later on down the road. I have a 1200w scooter that is only 36v and is lacking in the torque...

    2nd ride ever, tire breaks, fml... what to do.

    I'm actually glad it was my fault. I had no idea it was even possible to tighten spokes on a tire. And my wheel came in with really loose spokes - combination of those 2 things caused this. But the guys are lunacycles said just mail it back and they will check the motor out and remount if on...

    So finally got my bike back from the shop, rode a fun 10 mile drive, was great. T Although its stuck in a permanent low gear so you cant pedal with thr motor once it gets past 15 km/p. All was good thought. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SY8iq0d5Y1o"...

    Steel frame with V brakes, or Alum frame with Disc brakes >?

    Well, Luckily the motor works as a break, pretty much stops me from 45 km/h down to like 10 km/h basically instantly, the rest of 100% on the brakes, but they seemed to do pretty well. Also- I am not familiar with endo/stoppies, i assume its turn the bike sideways - not sure If id be...

    Steel frame with V brakes, or Alum frame with Disc brakes >?

    Ive basically wrote my current bike off as a contender, and others said they wouldn't use it on another forum and i accepted that. I figured you guys would have more experience and could tell me correctly. I figured if i enjoy riding i might put a 500w motor on this bike so friends or wife...
