Ebike system for a catrike expedition?
The bionx ebike system I have is not fitting into the catrike expedition.
So i am looking for a new one.
Ideally the ebike system will have a somewhat skinny/normal axel drop. That was the major problem with the bionx as I am hesitant to alter the dropout.
It will also have Regen braking since in the normal setup the rear wheel has no brakes.
And the cabling should be long enough that I can mount the battery on the front bottle holder mount.
Anu suggestion?

You'll need a direct drive system in order to have regen. Just decide how much power you want and check out the DIY products available . They have a range of 350w to 1500w in wheels for 135mm dropouts. The length of the wires shouldn't be a problem since the controller is connected to the motor, then to the battery and throttle or PAS. ebikesca (Grin) is an expensive place to purchase a system, but they are very astute.
