At Last my quest which started 5 months ago to get a electric assist trike that could climb hills ( real ones). the learning curve was at times sharp and expensive mistakes were made by me relying on "Bicycle shops to know the answers. In the long run I now feel very confident in this build. The trike takes on a 14-18% grade increase totting 300 lbs plus up the hill with ease and strength.
At the end of the day, if you have the wiliness to learn and you are a DYI person, it is less expensive to go the DYI route. If you have a good bike or trike and want to do a Electric assist converssion, do alot of reading and find a good builder ( who also has some of the parts you will need) ask alot of questions and you will do GREAT!!!!
What a JOY this has been to build and I have met a lot of truly great and honest people along the way.
Thank you to West Coast Ebikes and Green Werks for all your encouragement.
