Fishing Gear For Sale
Does anyone make a kit to convert an adult tricycle bicycle to electric or gas power? Will a bicycle kit work?
I have an adult tricycle with front brake and rear basket, single speed, steel frame that I bought from the estate of an old woman. Its great and the basket is the perfect size to haul around my fishing gear on the river trails. The problem is that its single speed and can't do hills at all. I'm looking for a kit to convert it to electric power (preferably) or possibly a gas engine. I've heard that the kits for a bicycle will not work and will require additional parts but I don't know what extra parts. Does anyone know of a website or store that sells conversion kits geared specifically for tricycles? I've seen the complete converted trikes for sale, but I can't find the conversion kits anywhere. Thanks for the help!
You can install a "front hub" electric bike kit very easily on a trike. Since the motor is built directly into the front hub, almost no modifications are necessary. Simply take off the front wheel, replace with the hub motor / wheel, run the wiring and mount the battery / controller. A battery should be very easy to install on the rear of a trike. Here is a nice front hub kit:

You'll find a couple other options on this website. The key is choosing a "front hub" kit that will install on the front fork.
