Motorizing a handcycle?
Greetings,
I ride a Top End handcyle with 24" wheels and 7 speed front wheel drive. I'm interested in adding a motor to this trike. In perusing web sites, I see that some companies have front wheel drive friction drive motors for pedal drive trikes, but I don't find any handcycles. (Maybe there's no difference in motor options...?)
Can anyone point me to some options to rig my handcycle?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think an electric hub motor would be just the ticket for one.

You use your hands instead of your feet to pedal
