My only e-bike experience involves one of these kits about 10 years ago. It was a 48v, 1,000watt wheel motor and it would do and maintain 30mph on a flat rode on a 26" mountain bike. I thought it was decent at the time. Seems like it had about 10 mile range.

Was looking at 52 and 72v kits. Are any good? Any junk? Where are you all getting your parts from these days? What about a battery? What's good,
What's not?


 
Since you have a specific use for this (not stated in this thread) that you do state in this one Building a recumbent trike it would be a good idea to let me merge both threads into this one here, to keep all the info together, so that those giving advice will have all the info in one place and you won't have to keep answering the same questions over and over in each thread.

You don't have any info here to help us narrow down feedback to you. Without more info, I would simply recommend reading the many many posts about these things already on the forums.

Otherwise, Ill say the same thing as in your other thread:
Which type of kit, motor, controller, battery, etc etc you should buy will depend on what you want to use it for, under what conditions, at what speeds, etc. The more detail you post about that the more useful the advice we can give will be.

You may find that a "kit" doesn't do what you want, or won't work on a specific design, so you may have to pick and choose specific components to do the job you want and have the specific features and functions you want. So...here also, the more detail you post about that the more useful the advice we can give will be.
 
What do you want the conversion to do? and where? Expectations for speed range cargo capacity and terrain for starters.
