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 ring crankset minus pedals of course, those are at the pointy end.
I have one problem which again seems to mean making my own is the throttle twistys and thumb throttles are just ergonomicaly no use on a trike with bar end shifters and upright steerers so waiting on Hall effect devices to arrive to put in my own push button casing, pics of build to date if anyone is interested, the motors go in the gap in front of the rear wheel
Q100 motor
S12S controller
pedal assist thingy
gearing as yet to be decided
regards
john
