first electric recumbent trike.

neally finished, put a legal 250w wheel on and glad i did as its a bit twitchy. had about 23mph on PAS and 18 on the trottle. and ive already tipped it once lol.

that is amazing!

It need to be adjusted to get it down the the legal 15.5 MPH when using the throttle and no PAS

 

[billym0404]

yes the lcd screen lets you do that. im just to lazy to adjust it. also ive found that the screens arnt that accurate. to be honest, its my first and i'm not keeping it long got 2 more on the way but i just wanted a bit mess about.

it's twitchy because you have increased the caster angle fitting a much bigger wheel

yes thats part of it, but i think you said this type of steering wasnt the best. the trike neds to be longer to make it more stable.

I suspect a heavy battery over the rear wheel won't help either. Sticking it down low behind the seat might improve things?

Just out of curiosity is it like cornering on a trike from my era?

barrows are a blast from the past of our eras , similar idea but taddies are lower , more stable and much faster if treated with respect.
wound love a barrow , but no room.

I have had my e-trike upgrade for a number of years now, I carry the battery on my rear rack and I don't find it twitchy ?!

I have heard that advise to lean in during turns, but I have never done it regardless of speed can it be that the Trice Q is impossible to flip ?
