What electric motor will fit my recumbent?

[jds]

, Hi to all,
I am looking for a front wheel electric motor (w/ P. gears) that will fit my recumbent. I have a Sun EZ-3 USX Delta recumbent. I haven't had much luck searching the internet.

Thanks for you help,
JDS

What size is your front wheel? I have seen direct drive hub motors as small as 16" diameter. I don't think I have seen a geared hub motor that small.
You may be able to fit a non-hub motor kit like a Cyclone. They have a "mid-drive" kit for recumbents on World's best Electric bicycle recumbent DIY conversion kits kit NuVinci Electric Scooter e-bike worlds best Electric bicycle recumbent DIY conversion kits kit

Thanks for the reply Wheelbender6. My recumbent has a 20 inch front wheel. I will check Cyclone to see what they say.

You can also have a look at Golden Motor. Their magic pie hub motor comes in any size you may need, and either front hub or rear hub. There's also a laundry list of features for these motors that i think are worth a look. Such as cruise control and P.C. tunability.
