30 MPH 1000 WATT Motorized Electric Catrike Expedition - Another Utah Trikes Custom Build. 

I’ve got two good friends, one is a quad and the other is a paraplegic in my neighborhood. I’d like to find out more of that setup for them too. I know they would be excited about this trike. Good luck!

That's everywhere unfortunately.

Thanks Randy, we appreciate your comment.

Thanks David! We've got some really nice Azub builds in the works right now.

@@UtahTrikesOnline Awesome! Can't wait to see your work.

There are many accessories which can be added later.

@@UtahTrikesOnline 2 SEATS !

Thanks for checking our channel out!

Hey Mark, feels like winter is just starting with all that snow we just got! Hub vs middrive really depends on the trike and the type of riding. With batteries on your trike though heated grips and maybe even a heated seat could be possible. :)

😄😄😄😄😄😄 Hey pops...! I want a motor too!

jorge vargas I’ll get one as soon as I figure out which will work best....and it quits snowing and gets into at least high 40s. I’m lucky to live a few miles from Utah Trikes and can drop in.

I have a fair amount of experience with these as I have built several difference electric vehicles, including the solar electric recumbent tandem trike that runs totally off of sunshine. Pictures are available if you would like to see it. I started out with bicycle wheels and tires but now I'm upgrading to motorcycle wheels and tires and upgrading from a 1000 watt rear hub motor to a Mxus 3K turbo Hub motor. From what I understand the mid Drive Motors that are integrated into your crank can produce a lot of torque, but don't have the regen feature to put electricity back into the battery like the Hub motors do. The Hub Motors are also more efficient because you don't have to turn that really long chain, sprockets, idlers, etc. My first conversion was a mountain bike and then I took a Honda ATC 185's and converted it to Electric ( video of it here on RU-vid), and then I built the solar electric recumbent tandem trike and I have plans for a four-wheel drive electric pickup in my head now and I'm researching the various parts needed for it. Electric vehicles are addicting! Good luck!!

We are working in a video that will go over all the differences. The big advantages of our rear hub motor is that it allows you to keep all the front gearing and also offers reverse. Middrive motors are generally easier to install and removing the rear wheel is easier.

@@metalman69201 Hi! Can you PLEASE send me pictures of your various BUILDS and the RANGE the particular build can COVER at one stretch. Further, do you have an INFINITY power concept where solar panels make RECHARGING your trike IRRELEVANT!? murthy dot harry AT gmail dot com Am staying in Bangalore, India, and would LIKE it to be SHIPPED here CIF.

The weight of the front-mounted motor won't be noticeable on most trikes and is counterbalanced by the battery at the rear. Hydraulic brakes are always an option.

We make sure there is enough cable so the boom can be extended. The excess cable is looped and tucked.

We are actually getting these motors chalian made for us. We have three different torque/rpm versions. The 540rpm version with a 26in rear wheel puts it right at 30mph with no pedaling in the flats and pulls about 1400W.

@@UtahTrikesOnline I thought you were using Falco motors. What is "Chalian"?

Shoot an email to trikes@utahtrikes.com and let us know what year your trike is and we can put a quote together for you.

We are located in Springville Utah

The wheel diameter settings in the display are only used to set the speedometer correctly, so you want to make sure that it is set accurately. Otherwise it will tell you that your going faster or slower than you are.

Views are mixed on whether to use dielectric grease on connectors. We use mostly the XT90 connectors, which don't require it. If you will be pulling your connectors apart frequently it won't hurt and can make them easier to separate. The connections on the batteries can benefit from some dielectric grease and it can offer some additional weather protection. Again, feelings are mixed and results and opinions vary across ebike groups.

We have had a couple in for repairs.

Feel free to shoot us an email anytime for a status update.

@@UtahTrikesOnline Thank you. I received a shipping notice from USPS this morning.

@@UtahTrikesOnline Update...my order arrived today (1-11-20). Perfect! Thank you!

Thanks for watching! Check out our other videos and all the information that is on our website at UtahTrikes.com and if you ever have any questions just shoot us as email to trikes@utahtrikes.com

Yes, although we forgot to mention it in the video. We actually make a custom pedal assist sensor for our motor that attaches to the idler. That way it allows us to use any crankset we want including Schlumpf or Pinion gearing.

There are a lot of variables, such as how much you use the motor vs pedal, the terrain you ride on, how aggressively you accelerate, speed you ride, rider weight, etc. A safe estimate is typically 10-20 miles per battery with no pedaling. Using pedal assist modes you can get 4X that range.

48 V 17ah batteries

The batteries themselves have individual level meters. At anytime you can view the voltage on the display for whichever battery is on or the average of both. We recommend turning both batteries on and off at the same time trading them as a unit. This provides the maximum amperage to the motor with a lower draw to the individual batteries.

This was a custom hub that we had made.

Our preferred method is to sit on the floor with your back firmly against a wall. The, with your legs flat on the floor, measure from the wall to the heel if your shoe.

Stay tuned for some crazy speed videos in the next few weeks!

@@UtahTrikesOnline Thanks will do 💯

There are a lot of factors, but it depends on if you are using the motor alone or add a pedal assist. This system with dual batteries will have a range of 20-40 miles without pedaling. Using as an assist can give you 4X that. Motor speed tops out at 30mph.

@@UtahTrikesOnline answers my question on speed bcos was thinking 1000w would surely go faster than 30mph 😉👍

Generally, you can expect 10-20 miles per battery with no pedaling (motor only) and 4X that if you use the motor as a pedal assist. This setup was just under $5500 + Shipping. Thanks for watching!

70 mph is fine for flat land, but will it goes up tall mountain with heavy load on one rear wheel of 1000W power.

Can the build goes up mountains roads or it must be flat land ?

Sure, the rear axle is trailer ready.

Check out the links in the description.

You would have a separate charger for each battery. So all you would do is plug in each charger into the wall and batteries.

@@UtahTrikesOnline without taking away the parallel, right?

We have trikes for all sized riders. Shoot us an email to trikes@utahtrikes.com with your details and we can point you in the right direction.

Just my guess: batteries at least 300.00 each,motor 190.00 to 250.00, addl parts $250.00,labor $300.00,price of trike about $2,400.00..I guess 3,500.00 maybe even 4k out the door. Beautiful bikes.

They never replied??

Must be selling allot?

priceless!
