Isn't most of the weight of a trike on the rear wheels? Not sure how effective a front shock is going to be unless you ride on very bumpy roads. Also have you looked at the Raleigh trike? This one can have a throttle and is a mid drive so will climb hills better...

Are your batteries 36 volt? If not, 40 volts is a very discharged 48 volt battery.

Thanks for posting. Very comprehensive list.

I really like my Raleigh Retroglide. Plenty stiff and the price was right.

No, no wire anywhere. I don't think mine had Europe in mind.

I think Mike was being funny too.

My Raleigh class 1 Currie/Transx drive cuts out at 19 mph. Seems it's not just Bosch. Anyone know of a speed dongle that works for a Currie drive? I have looked and can't find one.

I'm sure where there is a will there is a way. Maybe a strong hub motor from luna might be a easier way.

I have the same unit that Alaskan posted. Works very well and lets walkers here you coming when you get close.

My Raleigh bike has a throttle, Curie drive or tranz x motor, and I love it. I have the retroglide style beach cruiser but they have a few different models with throttle capability.

Storage is 3.8 resting voltage, 90% discharge is 3.7(resting voltage) and should never go under that. You can go down to 3.4 while under a load.

3.4 is over discharged.

I have a black % decker edger that has an attachment to make it a lawn mower and it mows my lawn no problem. These things have lithium batteries in them and they are powerful enough to mow just about any lawn. I use this one to edge my lawn when I'm done and it does it all on 1 battery with...

I would drill some holes on the top for venting. Maybe 5 or 6, 1/2 holes.The box is going to get red hot so I would put it on a piece of tile or stone so the bottom doesn't burn or catch anything on fire. Most of the fires on you tube are from small batteries. Our bike batteries are a lot...

I do the same as you AlanDB with my packs. If you put them in a flower pot, with a tile underneath it, then you only need 5 ft up which is lower than a ceiling. The pot will contain the other ways. But like I said, these packs don't catch fire for no reason. When you get a short, things happen...

It really doesn't matter to much what fire proof material you use as long as you use one that can withstand the 932 F temperature lithium can burn at. When a battery goes up, it sends flames shooting out up to 5 ft in the air. What you are trying to protect is the surrounding area that the...

Batteries don't generate that much heat that a bag would be a problem. If your battery does, then your battery is not up to the task. A Bosh 500 should be just fine.

The easiest and best option is a ceramic type flower pot. Get one just big enough to cover the whole battery. Also it helps to put the pot on top of a piece of tile. This will prevent any damage if a fire were to start and do it a lot better than a fireproof bag. Fireproof bags give a false...

Was that picture taking in front of Hogwarts University :) Nice ride, I like it.

What a great way to explore where there are no trails.
