Projects Nealy Finished just little bits to do. i got a bit over excited and carried away. just have to get some test rides in now and decide what to do and what to keep. some will go at the build costs.
so we have a
KMX Tornado, bought new, had 20 inch front wheels fitted. 26 in electric Rear 250w, battery is a bit small only 9ah but still lasts a while. LCD display. been out a few times on it and it really likes the gravely paths i go on.
KMX cobra. bough second hand and has took a bit of sorting. ended up getting a lot of new parts. including chain and all the rear brake bits. its again LCD screen a 500w 26 inch rear. like all my displays the speed restriction can be set. its fitted to take a dolphin battery. been out once for a longer ride and it enjoyed thye gravel paths, but i had some gear and chain issues. so it got a new chain and 9 speed gear changer.
Performer. i bought this new and sadly got hammered with import duty. though it is smart looking i think. probably ended up being the most expensive, but still miles cheaper than an electric ice trike. its got a 700c 500w rear wheel. i made a change on it so it fitted with a dolphin battery in the middle. it really shifts a bit. been out once on the gravel and not as nice as the KMXs but ok. i also learned not to try and do a fast 180 with the throttle only lol.
TWbrent (or Ricky Recumbent lol) bit of trouble but got there, new combined front brake, rear disc also fitted. just a 250w 700c rear wheel with a 9 speed cog and a 52 on the front, and as its very light it should go well. not been out far yet.
Trice, again rear disc fitted and duel front. 15a rack battery and a 700c 500w rear wheel. only had a short run and it goes well. i find it quite a heavy trike but with 500w its not a problem.
all of them now have single front cranks, and lcd displays that can be restricted speed wise. t PAS settings and throttles. so i now need some test rides iron out any glitches if there are any and then see what i really like.
