This is my electric recumbent I made. It’s running with a mini-motor and a 36V 11.6Ah tube battery. I do about 4 rides a week on it for 2 and a half hours. My top speed ranges from 17 – 21 miles/hour but the motor tops out at about 16 miles/hour so anything over this speed means the motor is mainly free-wheeling. I’ve never dropped the battery to below 50% capacity during this time. Whilst excellent, like many others I’d like a higher top speed. I’m considering over-volting it with a 48V battery or getting a rear wheel motor, as the larger diameter will help with top speed.
