When I was building my battery I didn't see a "Cx" rating on anything. What I did see was stuff like 3S, 4S, 6S, etc. That specification tells...

You can figure this one out really easy.

Mount the new lever with cable and housing fitted to your handlebar.
Pull the cable so it...

To answer your question above, I built my pack with LG M26 18650 batteries rated at 2600mAh, 10A continuous current. With my 6P build I can run at 60A...

For sure test. You can buy analyzers off ebay that will test 2 batteries at a time for $8. There is also one person I saw doing a crowdfund project for...

In order to match battery and motor specs, you also need to know the specs on your controller, because the maximum current directly affects your calculations....

You found the right place to get help, brother. I'm sure someone with trike experience will find their way here.

OOH -OOH-OOH!!!

Your question just reminded me of a mid-drive I read about last month. The "Lightest" is made by Bikeebike...

I have yet to ride my Super V-lectric in anger. :-( However, I am using it with a stock cyclone chainring, and it works well in testing so far. I converted...

Another option is the CYC X1 kit. It's on the more expensive side, but it's pretty sexy looking, and also 3000W. Luna tore one of those apart (V.2)...
