This conversion kit turns compatible TerraTrike recumbent trikes into electric trikes. It is configured specifically for TerraTrike frames and drivetrains. It is not compatible with the TerraTrike Rover, trikes with an internal geared rear hub, or trikes with rear thru-axles.
The kit is built around a USA hand-built rear motor wheel and a matched SINET system. The controller is integrated into the battery cradle. A 3.5-inch color LCD shows system and ride information and has a USB charging port. The LCD mounts on a Topeak Bar Extender. Matched waterproof connectors join the electrical components.
Pedal assist is either a cadence sensor or a bottom bracket torque sensor. The cadence sensor turns on motor assistance when the cranks turn. The torque sensor measures rider effort and gives proportional assistance. Either option includes throttle-on-demand. Both locking e-brake levers cut off the motor.
