This conversion system turns the SunSeeker T3 tadpole recumbent trike into an electric trike. It is configured specifically for the T3. The motor wheel is a USA hand-built 20" rear wheel with an installed 8-speed freewheel.
The SINET system combines the controller, display, pedal-assist input, throttle, brake cutoffs, motor connection and battery interface into one matched electrical platform. The controller is built into the battery cradle. A 3.5" color LCD shows system and ride information and has a USB charging port. Connectors are matched and waterproof.
Pedal assist comes in two types. The cadence sensor activates the motor when crank rotation is detected. The bottom bracket torque sensor measures rider effort and gives proportional motor assistance. Either type includes throttle-on-demand. The motor also cuts off through both e-brake levers.
