Hi All!
As a confirmed Trike (tadpole) rider, I have recently increased my commute distance to the point where I feel I need a boost.
So in addition to having nothing but theoretical knowledge of what I need to do, I have a major design issue upon which I need your advice.
The trike I own that I would really really like to electrify is my ICE-T. Can anyone here comment on the use of 2 motors, one on ea front hub?
The issue as I see it would be one of synchronization, followed closely by the potential need for a differential effect. Can hall effect switches and a programmable controller be used to accomplish this?
I understand that an electrified rear would probably be simpler, but I have a custom rear climbing hub that I feel may be nesc to get the trike home (its not really flat in Denver) if I did suffer an electrical mechanical? (and sooner or later it would seem everyone would)
So since I am in the information gathering stage, I would really appreciate any shared insights.
