Hello, I'd like to introduce myself and my ride.
Recumbent pelican looking thing.
I really dont know how fast it goes because I have never topped out the rpms in 3rd gear, but it hits forty with little effort. Pull start, No peddles. Generator / storage battery electrics. This is primarily for night rides. Marginally street legal in my town, classified as a foot scooter. First gear eats hills alive. Third gear starts to hit the power band around 35 mph.
Total cost including all new parts was a little less than 500$. Bolt-together with off-the-shelf-parts, except for the tranny mount.
Close to 2000 miles on it so far. All I can say for the Nexus is it rules! Dont even fiddle with a sturmey archer, or CVT. The Nexus, and especially the Trike unit, rocks!
The Pelican
Tire helps at night.
Shimano for the MF'n WIN!
PUll start scooter motor, ready for a pipe.
