Hi All, I'm considering using my crystalyte 408/4011 motor to drive the cranks of a recumbent I will soon be building. Because I can use different sized gears...
Bill, thanks for the suggestion of oiling the clutch. It is pretty counterintuitive, but in this case it works great. I put a squirt of plain old motor oil in...
... I think that if the tapping has any significance to efficiency, it will be to make the 408 mode less good than a normal 408. This is because a normal 408...
Joel, I have sold off my large PV to a boat owner, It was only 20 watts. I'm more worried about vandalism here, so close to New York City. I'm planning a gas...

Weez: Thanks for the info. My GXH50 has a similar sweet spot at 24 - 26 mph. and I had the same cruise control governor thing until I went direct to the...
Why are you going to the crank and not the rear wheel ?? More gears ? I would like to electrify my bent also but can't decide between Xtalight and Planet Rider...

A year ago, it was hard to find Power Assist bikes for all the living assist scooters. Now, when I need to compare pricing, I can't find them. Anyone have any...
... Since both GXH50 & G100 are rated 2.5HP, I would logically have expected as much. The 50 is just revving a bit faster to make the same output. Bet the OHV ...
Well said Todd, I have a couple of very steep hills at either end of my commute (where I'm trying to warm down) which the 409 mode of my 409/406 can't handle....
They still exist, Fortress is the most popular. Why not try a FreeDex Recumbent Trike from Ron McCurdy. I can never remember his website, somewhere on my...
