Good points. The older we get, the more we think about our mortality, I am thinking about my mortality. I am currently experiencing my first warning signals...

Well, there's that too :). At my 50'ish age, I really don't need the edge - I just want to be able to ride in traffic between 7:30 a.m. 8:00 a.m. and between...

Wow !!!... that's one awsome looking machine josh ! Great work ! I love the snow with ski's clip ! lol... I may have to budget for one of those in 08.. hmmm ...
Hi Thanks, we are having some fun, and looking forward to spring, when we can shoot some new trikes. I am getting the snow stuff ready again, but it just...
... out right ... Jan. We ... forward to ... ready to ... 07. ... I can't help but wonder how the people who buy your trikes use them. Around here you surely...

I tried to figure out w/o to much calculation (but doing some)what will be the clyte motor/wheel combination to allow for decent efficiency (overall 70 pct ?)...
when looking at the max voltage a controller will handle you look up the part # for the FETs, which in the case of the WE is 55v i believe, then look at the...
... i would not choose the 409 for climbing a 20% hill at 36v in any size wheel. at full throttle with a 20A controller, your 36v 4011 system looks like it...
Hi, Well, the Green one had an E Tek Motor system, with 48 volts and 50 amp hours of lithium ion, back in 04. The Orange trike had an 080 on it when we shot...
i don't think 200W is enough to pull you up a 20% hill at 8 mph, so you will probably have to make do with less than that. at 5 mph in a 20" wheel the 4011...
... the problem you will run into is that with only 36v you cannot get enough current into the motor to produce more than 200W. a 20A controller will behave...
You should probably call your highway department and verify that the hill you have in mind has a 20% grade. That's extreme. The Guinness record is 38% in New...
hi Bob, thank you for your reply if you ran a straight 20" 4011 at 72v your "sweet spot" would be 85% efficiency at about 20 mph where you could produce 400W...
the 20% grade i calculated using google earth tools.... i did measure with a level a 16% SLOPE in my neighborhod(for about 130ft)which i climbed at about 7mph...
... Um, why not? I don't agree with that point. I have a power assist that is used on MY trike and a trike is perfectly legal. the ONLY thing Josh's trikes...
... if you use decent batteries 40A is no problem. even the cheap FirstPower ones that came with my WE kits can do 40A for as long as they hold out. if you are...
