Blokes using bikes as a mean to cruise around the lanes of their city can opt for a more speed with EcoSpeed Electric Mid-Drive kit. This add on can turn high quality recumbent bicycles from other manufacturers into high performance electric-assisted recumbents. Ideally designed to compliment the styling of your bike, they use largest motors the law allows with external controllers to shed heat efficiently and crank out the power reliably. You can opt from a variety of battery choices from an ultra low cost do-it-yourself lead acid setup, to a state-of-the-art lithium iron phosphate battery. The key feature of our Electric Mid-Drive is that it mounts between a recumbent bike’s bottom bracket and rear cassette. This enables the biker to climb any hill and go as fast as he desires with a small and light motor that doesn’t detract from pedaling performance.
The major advantage of this design, which no conventional bike conversion can match, is that the motor drives through the bike’s gearing. So, you’ve got the very low gearing needed to climb hills with a weak battery and tall gearing for top speed on the flats or climbing fast with a fully charged battery. You’ve also got direct mechanical drive for efficiency and reliability.
Speaking about its powers in figures, it features a range up to 100 miles, cruises at 20-25 mph and can burst to a speed of 40 mph with a wind aid.
