    e-trike retrofit for Gekko?

    He calls the display the 'controller', but the controller is inside the motor. It is better to move the motor forward and up so it hits the boom against a rubber bushing. The DM02 is fully programmable with a 20 amp controller. Not fifteen. I tend to set them to 18 amps max on a 48V nominal...

    e-trike retrofit for Gekko?

    This is expert level. The motor is a fully programmable DM02. I have done similar ones. With this next one I painted the motor silver. It has the wires inside the adjustable boom. I used thermostat wire to run from the speed sensor to the motor. It came in with a brut out hub-drive. I used a new...

    Electronic Drivetrain: Is it worth the hype?

    I agree. I do not need lycra to have fun. No need to clip-in. I take my three speed coaster brake bike on single track. Now that is fun. That is not a water bottle. It is the battery. And the photo was in December.

    e-trike retrofit for Gekko?

    I just made this one on Sunday. The date stamp is off. One consideration was the extension of the speed sensor and how to place the pickup. I had it up to 25. It has a 90Nm torque sensing motor. Getting it done is not theoretical.

    Clean Custom Conversions

    I finished the recumbent trike yesterday. One problem was extending the speed sensor. Because of the added length I used heavy gauge wire between the battery and the motor. I am working on the Rock Hopper now.

    The transition

    I heard that Rotaries/Roundabouts prevent t-bones. Many dogs will be disappointed.

    I like to watch the herons and egrets swallow whole gophers. Patrice is bikepacking across the continent solo and made it over the continental divide in Montana. She has a highly modified Pashley Prospero with an optimized mid-drive. This is from Saturday.

    Dave, I have had to take it very easy this last week. I had been on a lot of steroids for that ocular shingles the week before. That was an artificial high with huge appetites and wanting regular rides. The the X axis went up and then when off the drugs I suddenly crashed to far below the base Y...
