    Looking for reliable 1000w rear hub motor for regen purposes

    I can you about the srounging around and trying to go the "cheap" route. Sometimes it gets turned around and ends up biting you in the ass. I bought a 11 year old Sun EZ3 HD delta type semi-recumbent trike on a consignment sale from a LBS. I e-mailed Sun to find out the date it was made. It...

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    I have the Grin 8T GMAC installed on the rear rear wheel of a TriSled RV-2 velomobile. It shipped from Melbourne, Austrailia 15 Feb. 2023 and arrived in Chicago, USA May 15.
