This is a front-wheel electric conversion system for compatible conventional upright adult tricycles. It is for riders who already have a suitable 48V battery. It uses a 500W nominal front hub motor with sine-wave motor control and an external SINET controller, which can be mounted where it suits the build.
The motor comes built into a USA hand-built front wheel with 12-gauge stainless steel spokes and a double-wall aluminum rim. Because the motor is in the front wheel, the tricycle's rear axle, rear wheels, chain and drivetrain stay unchanged. It fits standard 100 mm conventional slotted front fork dropouts. Front thru-axle forks are not compatible.
A 3.5" full-color LCD shows diagnostics, supports programming, and has a USB charging port. The system includes a thumb throttle and two mechanical e-brake levers with motor cutoff and a parking lock. For pedal assist, choose either a cadence sensor or a torque sensor with a crank conversion kit. The cadence sensor detects crank rotation and applies assist at the level selected on the LCD.
