As Ive managed to sell every tadpole Ive built. Its time to build one for myself. I liked the hub motor I used on the Wounded Warrior Tadpole. Also made another copy of that Heavy Duty frame.
The gearing system being used created a crap load of gears.
3 at the pedals
5 at the Jackshaft input
6 at the Jackshaft output
6 on the rear tire
thats 540 combinations total (UNREAL) from the pedals
36 from the engine with only 12 really being used.
This machine has both 60t and a 72t (#35) sprockets on the jackshaft. I did this for steeper grades. Simply remove the chain loosen and slide the sprocket assembly attach the other chain and boom even more bottom end grunt. Should be able to pull me up just bout any hill
