I have just finished an electric trike powered by a Currie 450W unit. I just sold it and I am going to use the funds to build a new electric trike.

Thanks for the comment. Once I figure out the location of the battery box I may add one more support member similar to yours.That stretch looks a bit too stretched for comfort. UI thought about doing a gas powered one of those guys. Someone did up this render for me its got a bit more support.
With the hub drive you can go with direct or planetary Geared drive. The direct dirve goes faster and the geared has more torque but is slower. This one is direct drive and it has a top speed of about 22 mph which feels pretty fast with the low seating.do you guys ever put gears in rides like this? like a internal geared hub or something..
i seen a video of a guy on a e-bike with a N-360. it was the fastest lil e-bike iv ever seen.
right on.. thats not a bad speed. and even the peddle ones look like a blast.With the hub drive you can go with direct or planetary Geared drive.

Thanks for the interest in my trike BarelyAWake, I can always count on you to trade ideas back and forth. OK about the brakes, remember the previous trike I built from the mongoose electric dirt bike. Well I sold that one and I bought another mongoose electric to modify. Well I noticed they have a really nice disk brake on the front wheel so that is what I used on this trike. How is that for recycling? It is an Artek brake. I looked it up online and it seems to show up on UK sites mainly. It seems to be a good working brake so i am happy.Very nice gstrope! All of it actually lol, though I gotta agree w/yer thoughts about the seat thing - not only is it the most prominent feature, it is after all what you depend on the most for comfort heh, a lame seat makes for a lame ride - even in a Ferrari I figure
Not to say brakes are unimportant ofc, but nobody seems to notice them till they need 'em What brand/type disks/calipers didja end up using?
