What does your trike e-build weigh?

[pullin-gs]

Weight fully loaded: 49 lbs.
Terratrike Cruiser.
22mph, 30+ mile range with no pedaling.

Unmounted AKM128CST Motor is 7 lbs. 700watts max.
Heavier rear rim/tire & 36x13G spokes ~adds 2 lbs
Controller/etc. ~2lbs
18Ah 10s6P Samsung 29E 18650 Pack.
...
Is currently setup for stealth&speed. Quiet motor mated with high frame-rate 38A trapazoidal controller.
I regularly remove pack and take 30 to 40 mile rides unpowered.
I average 13.25 mph for 2 hours without battery.
If I remove motor-wheel for stock wheel my average goes up to 14.75 mph for same 2 hour ride.
...
Without battery it looks like a stock trike. Throttle looks like the front twist shifter (use single-ring 52T litepro hollow crankset..no shifter needed), motor is very small....is hidden by cassette and rotor. Cabling is hardly noticable or hidden alltogether.
...
Both trikes (I built wife same setup) fit in back of chevy collorado. I can load up trikes in about a minute.

presently weighs, at a guesstimate, about 300lbs empty. About 500 with me on it, up to 650 lbs with one of the dogs in it, like this:

It's not stealth, but it's surprising how many people don't realize it has motors, even when they see me riding it.

About half of that is the traction battery (EIG NMC 14s2p, 52v 40Ah) and the hubmotors (MXUS 4503 and 4504, until they finally break in a way I can't fix and I'm forced to change to something else), and the lighting battery (EIG NMC 4s2p 16v 40Ah).

The wooden enclosure for the dogs (and cargo) is at least 30lbs, I think, and probably aother 25-30 for the cargo deck and seat / cargo box, leavign around 100lbs ish for the frame, fork, frnt wheel, seat, canopy, rest of the electronics, accessories, etc.

At some point I'd like to convert to a middrive for the rear wheels, and put a DD hubmotor in the front (partly just to get regen braking up there, partly as backup motor in case middrive fails), but the power needed to quickly accelerate to 20MPH (for safety in traffic) is rather high and I haven't come up with a middrive that will reliably handle that with the parts I have on hand.

Since it's designed to carry the dogs, rather than teh other way around, this method isn't practical (especially in the summer heat):

It looks slightly different in front after the crash earlier this week; it's now got the old crappy fork back on it from much earlier in the build thread, since the good fork's crown is very broken.

Great job!
I love the pic with your dogs harnessed up and ready to roll!

weighs 150kg including the stuff I normally carry (besides me). I weigh about 100kg... have since I was but a teen, although the shape of 100kg certainly has varied over the years. (that's 550 pounds total to the un-metric types)
speed=28kph (+17mph)
range =? ...I usually recharge batteries after using 20-30% after I've traveled about 10-20 or so miles depending on hills and weather (or not).

How do you weigh your trikes?

I was thinking of making a sliding kids trike for the cabin, but its a gravel road culda-sac, plus there would be too much goofy around with something like that. I will probably end up building, probably buying a simple tricycle for the cabin, 2 seat with a big basket on the back, its a sandy area so its gotta be fat tires for sure, that is why there will be fabrication involved either way.

How do you weigh your trikes?

One-wheel-at-a-time.....just make sure all three wheels level (I use blocks the same width of digital bathroom scale).
Add up total and that is trike-weight
