I have a friend with a handicapped wife and a TerraTrike Tandem, IPS version [ http://www.terratrike.com/tandem.php ]. They love to ride but my friend is experiencing some issues with his knees and wants an electric assist.
I am thinking about mounting the BBS02 on the machine for them. It's almost 500 pounds for the tandem and two riders. My friend will pedal most of the time just wanting the assist for more strenuous riding. The passenger will assist some but not too much.
Do you think this unit is up to this kind of load? The tandem trike has lots of gears and my friend is a strong rider who will do the steering and powering - he is well versed using the gears and can watch the temp.
Most rides will be generally flat and slightly hilly (2-4% grades), but there are a few steeper grades.
Your thoughts are much appreciated
