I have an ICE T26 (details http://www.icetrikes.co/Downloads/ICE_Trice_flyer_2_09_zigzag.pdf) which weights 35.9lbs/16.28Kg plus my weight is 11st 7lb/73kg so an overall combined weight of 13st 9lb/89.3kg plus kit. Now lots of newbie type questions.
I am looking for a rear wheel motor setup.
As it will be used on and off road (tracks) I would like it to be capable of speeds in excess of 15mph with a decent range (no steep hills).
Having read several threads on this forum BMS Battery seems to be a good source of parts/kits but not sure the likelihood/cost of customs imposing import duty and VAT.
Whilst it is obvious that most kits will provide 15mph I am not sure how I go about getting speeds in excess of that.
What I have been looking at (no idea if I'm right) are the Bafang 36v/48v 350v/500w and the MagicPie 1000w motors.
In terms of a battery I guess I need something like the 48V 20Ah 38120 LiFePO4 Battery for power/range.
Any advice gratefull received.
