I just purchased a BikeE AT LX model from a friend with the goal of electrifying it. While I have ridden recumbent bikes for a couple of decades now, this is my first attempt at putting an electric drive on a bicycle and I would appreciate all the help and suggestions from members of this group. The BikeE was one of the first recumbents I rode and I have experienced the problems with the light front wheel - I mostly ride a Velokraft VK2 SWB recumbent.
I live at the top of a long steep hill so it would be good to have regen capability. I hope to put the batteries inside the front of the BikeE frame in order to help the weight distribution and minimize battery mounting problems.
Any suggestions for a hub drive electric motor that would work with the 20-inch 451 rear tire? It would be great to be able to add a rear disk brake if possible.
Any suggestions for a battery pack or a way to build a pack that would fit inside the BikeE frame?
I apologize for inserting my questions in this posting but just joined Endless Sphere in the past 24 hours and do not see how to create a new thread.
