Solcar
10 kW
Hi, the situation is that I have about a 200' rise in about 3000' riding run. I need to get up that with only light pedaling, because that's all I can do. My legs are too old after all these tough 57 years.
I was working on a friction drive project that might have worked but these hills are steeper than I was considering when I was building that, and I don't have my big electronics room and loads of parts stocks anymore to finish that friction drive project.
Even if it's just a 5mph rate going up the side of the road, that's ok. The cost of getting this done needs to be low and that's the main thing. I figure I just need about a theoretical 15wh to make the round trip of lifting 200lb, 200', plus some extra to account for system losses.
Thanks if you can help
