I've got a recumbent bike that I added electric to. I had to redo the setup though because I initially built it with a hub motor which made hill climbing still be a bit of a bitch so I rebuilt it with a middrive motor.
- UI_at_80x24 4y agoI ride a LongBikes SlipStream and have been considering getting a mid-drive myself. Are you on a LWB or a SWB bike? Any tips/suggestions? As a nice bonus, the wheelbase of my bike gives me a TONNE of space under the frame and within the frame for battery packs. So it's a whole project that I'm going to get started on after I move.
