Recumbent electric trike

Putting a new motor on Nancy’s (my wife, who has multiple sclerosis and is not going to stop being active) recumbent trike kept me busy the first part of the summer. We rode paved bike paths in the mountains (2-5% grades, 15-25 km rides) for 2 weeks and it performed well. The full description is here:

At MakeICT I made the brackets for the helmet rest on the CNC mill and connectors for the flags on the metal lathe, and I did some wiring in the electronics lab.

Great project Ward. I’d love to see some pictures of your trike, but the photo links in your write up seem to be broken. Can you share any pictures with us here?

Pictures are here and on endless-sphere now. Thanks.

Wow that is nice.
