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

99% done 2.jpg 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

Very nicely engineered job Sandman along with triple disc brakes, twin 09 batteries, twin headlights and Q100 set up is very neat :cool:.

This trike is very impressive. You built the frame yourself? Do the pedals use a seperate chain working through a freewheel?
