Finally finished and very few problems in the end, it handles well, pulls lilke a train uphill, but I do need to alter the peddle gearing( too much assist and not enough peddle for my needs) I think I need to bling it up a bit to make it more visible, flags ,lights etc

I wonder if anyone can help ? my setup is 328rpm Q100 , S12S controller (current limited ) ,LCD3 . motor is used as a mid drive. The problem I have is that it takes several rotations of the pedals for the PAS to kick in and in those rotations it feels as if the motor is acting as a brake, pedal...

Thank you for the reply which explained everything so clearly d8veh, I did flip the magnet disc to try it , and that resulted in no hint of life from the motor but it now works with reversed sensor. regards John

Having got the trike ready to add all the electrickery,, fitted the PAS magnet ring and sensor for short cable run on the left side of the mid drive BB, powered up and nothing....... peddle backwards and the motor spun happily in the right direction., using my last braincell I deduced the magnet...

Thanks for the rapid reply,now I can destroy the centre of the magnet rings and see if my mid drive setup works regards John

I am at the point of installing the electrickery stuff and due to the design need to remove the centre of the magnet discs, I have 8 and 12 magnet discs my question is " is one better than the other" I can see more magnets = more pulses per rev which my simple mind says smoother, but is it more...

Hi all, Just thought I might give you all a laugh at my efforts at an E assist trike, Q100 hub motor as mid drive and counter shaft so me and motor can use all the gears, it will work or be a very costly pile of scrap HAHA comments of all flavours welcome Thanks in advance regards John

would you care to expand on that possibly? No is an ok answer

Apart from the questionable legality of charging a battery from a generator while in motion is there any practical reason that precludes using a genny to drive the charger to charge a battery pack that is not connected to anything other than the charger. regards Sandman

The goal is not speed but assist with trailer on the trike hence the involved gearing plus if it dosnt work I can put the motors in a wheel :) I have the lcd so the tip about current limiting there and crimping the shunt a good to know, thanks regards John

no plans for 48 V

yes its 328 and I will suck it and see after all that what life is about

Hi all, having added a hub motor to my partners trike after she rode one of Twinkles machines, I have started building two touring trikes for a trip round the Netherlands,I am using Q100 motors as a mid drive with drive sprocket on the disc mount side to a jackshaft then across to a normal 3...

Thanks for pointing out the blindingly obvious, I have been kicking myself for missing that

is there one ? regards John
