The other day I posted a picture of just the frame for this trike as I was starting to build it. This is the completed beast which I've been riding for a few days now.

Super comfortable, 2 battery mounts (only one battery on this morning, but the idea is to be able to go a long ways or have the ability to do massive climbs without completely draining the charge), head and tail lights, 2 bottle holders, and a wireless charging phone mount (it was an option, I had to get it).

The motor kit is from Grin Technologies in Vancouver, and it's been injected with cooling fluid (which they call Statorade, lol!) to keep the temp. stable even on long climbs. (Hub motor overheating can be a real issue)

It will be interesting to see how long the brake pads last with the regenerative braking taking on the bulk of the load.

So far, so fun!

Discovered something about Bosch e-assist on a recumbent trike today that shows that not all things designed with upright bikes in mind map over to more accessible recumbents...

When I got the flat, I thought I could make use of walk assist. I have a disability that affects my hands and arms and any time my recumbent breaks and I have to walk it, it is agony to do, esp for any great distance.

Unfortunately, the walk assist mode on the Bosch requires that you keep the button pressed down. Which on a recumbent when I'm walking alongside it means I'd have to lean over...which is the whole problem in the first place.

I'll probably need to write Bosch about this just so they know there's room for improvement.

When I read the papers, I can’t help but conclude that the world is run by a bunch of unbelievable idiots, arseholes and criminal scum who take pleasure in killing other people or driving them to hopeless suffering, meanwhile destroying entire ecocystems. Sorry, I just had to get that off my mind. cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.…

Dnes okruh kolem Orlické přehrady až po Podolský most. Ideální den na solární rekord, ale spíš se v tom vedru poflakuju a nechám se vozit...
