Wait till Revolution Green gets wind of your color choice
Maybe you should ask Mr.Dansie to Sponsor A REVOLUTION GREEN Paint job??



Those fenders Just POP  ...gotta do the Back one too.

Hi All,

Been really busy with work and other stuff.

This is a update on the E-Trike test run I did yesterday.

That's really nice work.

Is the motor a pulse motor???

Hi Mark,

Its a 3 phase 1000w hub motor, not the best choice due to load climbing hills.

I have a 1000w DC motor that would work better but added chain and gearing would increase weight.

hey Tommy

What voltage system are you running on that motor/controller? 36v? or 48v?

Some of these controllers are multi voltage. Not sure how they determine shutdown when batts are low when going from one voltage level to another.  But I would think that a 1000w, even with the weight you are claiming, should climb hills quite good. My 500w, shown below, can maintain 15mph on its own up a fairly steep grade. 25mph max. Bike is about 75lb and Im 220.   So im just wondering if the trike is actually putting 1000w into the motor, or can it be that it needs more voltage input to do so.  Some are 72v and more. 

The pic below I just took last night. Replaced a bad hall sensor.  Also repl another so all are the same. Had 1 go bad before. Replaced it. This time the one I already replaced is still good, so the originals just aint worth a crap.  Dont know why they would go bad.  Too much flux?  Maybe bad supply voltage to the halls.  Too much.  But seems ok. Could be a once in a while blip.
