Title: Terry's Tongsheng-Powered Catrike 559
Post by jayg on Jan 17^th, 2023, 9:48pm

Finished installing a 750-watt Tongsheng mid drive on Terry C's 559 last night. Obtained the drive kit from ECO Cycles (Their product TDSZ-TOO). Configured the display this afternoon, then took the trike on a successful 2.3-mile test ride on the Santa Fe Trail. Fabricated the display T-mount from carbon fiber tubing and turned the aluminum handlebar-to-T-mount adapter on my lathe. The motor kit, battery, and T-Cycle battery mounting assembly cost $1,580 compared to $2,850 for a 250-watt e-Cat Bosch kit.

Nice job, Jay. The Clowns should now be known as the E-Clowns. ;D. Glad everyone is still riding.

Thanks Diana. We have two holdouts. One says he'll go E someday, while the other says "never".
