Custom 3d printed battery mount

[geeksville]

Hi ya'll,

I recently decided to upgrade from my old recumbent to a new recumbent (one with a shock, because on a recumbent almost all the weight of the rider+battery is on the rear wheel). And finding mounting locations for the battery is challenging. So I cadded up and printed this:

If you are looking for a recumbent platform it seems that the Performer Goal is priced reasonably, slick looking and has a rear shock. I'm running a TSDZ2 up front and a 10 speed 11-42T cassette in the back.

Looks interesting, did you go with a mid or hub? Ah I see you've gone mid. Have you found any problems?
I'm interested in a mid drive but I haven't tried to contact performer about it yet.
I've picked up an older goal and it's super fun on the down hill and flats now I can stay upright.

Recumbent battery mounts always take a bit of creativity, nice job.
