Best Electric Conversion Kit For Azub Fat Trike?

[BreakAes]

Hi all,

I'm going to be getting an Azub Fat trike: http://azub.eu/recumbent-bikes-and-trikes/trikes/26-wheels/fat/ and I'll need an electric conversion kit with both a throttle and pedal-assist.

It seems like the best motor option for me is a 750 watt Bafang mid-drive motor. I'd like to have a torque-sensing motor, but I understand that Bafang is behind on releasing theirs, and they only have a cadence-sensing system at the moment.

I'm wondering what the difference in practice would be between a 48v and 52v battery. I also want at least a 17 amp hour battery, and if it's not too heavy, something around 20 amp hours or more would be nice.

I'm looking for suggestions on where the best place is to get the kit. And how hard would it be to install it? Should I have a shop do it, or is it easy enough to do it by one's self?

Here are the stores I know of for electric conversion kits:

https://www.eradkits.com

https://lunacycle.com

http://www.ebikeco.com

http://www.rosecityrecumbentcycles.com

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Break -- I'm looking to do something similar. Have you gone through with the conversion? Was it difficult to install? Any thoughts on difficulties?

Thanks!

I haven't gotten the trike yet, but John with ebikeco.com seems like a good retailer. You can talk to him about options for a Bafang motor kit. I don't know if he sells other motor brands etc.

That could be a very straight forward install. What do the vendor say about conversions they know about? I'd take their lead or find a conversion to follow. I'd be happy to help.
