Super old thread but hey! My recumbent bike is so much nicer now with E-Switchy Electric Bike Kit, i pretty much converted the recumbent to an ebike and it's awesome! very simple installation, excellent customer service and very fun to ride. I've got another conversion kit from E-Switchy on my tandem and that one is great as well. Overall, highly recommend E-Switchy if you are looking to convert your recumbent or any bike into an ebike. eswitchybikes.com
