Thanks, Shane. I haven't talked to Mark for at least two years. Actually I think that it was three years ago that is sent my Ridekick back and he fitted it with a fan. It helped but not enough. I still found it easier to just granny gear my recumbent trike up the hills than to pedal hard enough...

Would I be looking for the D-series console, DS3?

There is a list of "Electric Bike Shops Near You" below the line and they are all in Michigan. I am in Central Massachusetts and, so far as I know there is only one shop in Turners Falls that has anything to do with electric bikes or even trikes.

I am going to check that out. Thanks

I really like Shane's solution. My trike is all set up to put on a Hub Motor. Bionx had one but have they gone out of business?

My trike has a pretty good granny gear so I could make that hill without any help but I would dread doing it and, actually, it probably isn't good for my knees at my age. I hoped that the Ridekick could allow me to go slowly without quite as much effort. The problem is that the Ridekick REQUIRES...

I also like Shane's plan. Maybe I should put a hub motor on my trike and add the Ridekick for long distance. But I am also considering replacing the 500 watt ridekick motor with a 1000w motor. Could I then use a 25 or 30 amp controller and a 48 volt battery or two 24's? Is there an inherent...

Glad I finally found this thread but it has gotten a bit old. I still find that my Ridekick does not have enough torque to get me up the huge hill that separates my house from the town center. What happens is that I cannot keep up the minimum speed that is required and the controller shuts off...

I have a recumbent Mountain Bike E that I got back in 2001 and fitted with a Currie Motor and now have a Li Ping Lithium Battery. I also have a home made Bill Darby tadpole that I use with a RideKick Trailer. I have never been able to get enough torque from the motor before the controller shuts...

Thanks so much. I haven't been looking at electric bike forums for a couple of years and am delighted to see that there is a lot more support available. I want to charge my Ridekick battery from a solar panel if possible. I have been using the grid but would like to be able to avoid it in case...

Hello - looks like this is an old thread. I have had a Ridekick for a couple of years and I really like it since it allows me to keep my very light tadpole nomad (Bill Darby built) trike intact. I do have issues with hills and am hoping that now they are back in production I will be able to...
