This is a rear-wheel electric conversion system for compatible Catrike recumbent trikes. It is built on the SINET platform and includes a 500W nominal rear hub motor, a 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery and an integrated sine-wave controller. The rear motor wheel is hand-built in the USA and configured to match the trike.
A 3.5-inch full-color LCD handles diagnostics and programming and has a USB charging port. A Topeak handlebar extender is included for mounting it. The system has throttle-on-demand and pedal assist, and the locking e-brake levers cut off the motor when you brake.
The motor needs slotted rear dropouts that accept its 10 mm flat bolt-on axle. Catrike configurations with a rear thru-axle are not compatible. The total system load limit is 300 lbs.
