When I throw it into tight corners (on clean and dry roads !) I always think of Hamster and his commentary when testing the Carver.

"I want machine guns strapped to the side of this thing, ... , something that fires missiles maybe"

When riding in Karls neighbour I think I probably need these as well !


By the way Rolf, didn't you have a Trike ?

What brand and Type is that "normal" recumbent in the photo ?




They also have a special high torgue motor on offer for carrier-tricycles; intended to get you up inclined roads with such bicycles loading with goods. In your case I would fit one of those; 250 Watts + your own legs makes for 450 Watts. Enough for doing 20 km/h uphill against (average) 7% inclined roads and some additional weight like a small suitcase; just get a second battery (2.4 kg) to carry enough juice (36V/18Ah/4.8 kg = 650 Wh = 2 hours at full engine power). On your way down you'll do 80 km/h or more without assist or peddling. I will feel like you are peddling (unassisted) up a 1.5% incline or so.
