"Smartly allowing the frame to be stretched to just about any length imaginable with little effort expended (but a few bolts) to achieve any seating position desired." Not so much, considering that the bolting plates are not at right angles to the wheelbase and the bolts are not parallel to the...

I would even be happy with a 750 watt Bafang BBS02 running on 52 volts as an option on one of these dedicated cargo bikes.

I was hoping a dedicated cargo bike would show up in this list, but I haven't noticed one yet. A bike such as this: https://lectricebikes.com/products/xpedition-dual-battery?srsltid=AfmBOopKkw60akNIw5l83pMZwVX0bKET4O9SaakvXeBSndsdv2LvtK_M with the Bafang M620 would seem like a good idea.

Sorry Court, since the new EBR site design came online I have found myself going to it less and less. It now has a sterile impersonal feel to it that limits my interest to explore it.

Thanks for the reply Gionnirock. I am having some back and forth with Biktrix in regards to the BBS02s that are in their current bikes and was given this info.: Bafang Model Number - G340 Rated Nominal Power Output on underside of motor - 750W Peak Power Output - 1040W Max Amperage - 20A Max...

Is there any physical/hardware difference between 500w, 18A and 750w, 25A BBS02B motors? I am wondering if the 500w spec could or should ever be run up to 25A?

Looking for a Ride1Up ambassador with a Prodigy available for a test ride on Vancouver Island, Canada.

Thank you m@Robertson and tomjasz for your thoughtful replies and good advice, it's much appreciated.

Maybe? Although she rarely if ever uses the thumb throttle and definetly prefers pedal assist. I guess I could try opening up the thumb throttle to see if any moisture is collecting inside and/or remove the thumb throttle altogether to make for one less component to suspect.

My wife has been commuting to work on a recumbent tadpole trike with a Bafang BBS02, DPC-18 and thumb throttle for 4 or 5 years now and over the past 6 months she has twice had an issue where power to the motor seems to continue after the pedals are stopped, the thumb throttle is not being...

Timpo, thank you for the heads up on the XOFO DD45. I'm now curious to compare it's torque values with the GMAC using the Grin motor simulator.

Yes, I requested recommendations for a high torque DD hub motor; a drive option that would allow for powered reversing, unlike the BBSHD or any other crank drive and most geared hub motors. I mentioned the BBSHD in conjunction with Flintstones reversing as the best bang for the buck and simple...

The Grin All Axle is only appropriate for the front wheels of a tadpole trike and that means using a pair of them that in turn drives overall system cost up substantialy. Driving the single rear wheel of a tadpole trike is the simplest and most cost effective option. Best bang for the buck is...

It's for an enclosed, recumbent tadpole trike project and I'm thinking about a drive that would allow reversing direction. So the two common options would be a DD hub or a left side drive mid-motor without freewheeling. Another option I suppose could be the Grin Technologies GMAC hub.

Direct drive, 48-72 volts.
