Bikepacking hobo USA tour e trike idea.... Imagine a 250w rear motor on your trike.(upgraded geared hub from plastic to metal gears) a trike weather enclosure. Like a diy frame that 🔩 bolts onto trike frame, enclosed with that water proof plastic cardboard material & clear nylon windscreen or plexi glass. With 2 lightweight-100w solar panels. 1 is on top/roof, the other up front slanted. The enclosure helps keep you out of rain cold with vents/windows to stay cool & maybe electric fan. With your saddle bags and a single wheel cargo trailer with another 100w solar panel hinge lid. So you have 300w of solar panels, that should give you close to 250w of actual charging power while in sunlight & plenty of storage. Maybe also bring along another 1 or 200w worth of folding 📂 solar power. To change phone,etc.. If you don't feel like pedaling the whole way. You could still cruise along at 25mph gas $ free and pedal assist on the hills to help the motor. Ideally a full suspension trike with single wheel suspension trailer would be awesome. It makes me wonder if I followed nice weather. How long I could etrike & camp out. Would be awesome in summer to hit Sturgis black hills, devils tower Yellowstone, Glacier National Park other parks outwest. Stay on west coast and the south in winter and up the east coast in spring. Jarrod D on UA-cam rode a motorized bicycle from Florida to CA & back in the winter. In reality, I think a cruising speed of 35 🆚 25 would be better. But I'd rather go 25 with lots of proper gear to stay comfy than 35 without the right gear. I'd rather do it sitting in a trike 🆚 upright on ebike. Bring a fishing pole & metal detector if I could.
(Another long late night comment) If I can ever get the energy of a normal person back. I wanna build (I've said it before) a "beat the rat race" - high cost of fuel, enclosed e trike that could be used year round, except in deep snow. There's a video called -man builds diy solar clipper trike that's basically all my similar ideas but mine would be faster & bullet aerodynamic / trisled Aquila 3 shaped. Or a even a vehicle that has to be registered but is super electric or fuel efficient. Like a 250cc 65mph moped trike with aerodynamic enclosure. It wouldn't be hard for a motorcycle/scooter or car company to build a small light cheap 100+ mpg personal transport vehicle that's fun to drive, can go 55mph to 85mph with room for groceries. Instead we get a 50mpg Prius . When small 4 cyl cars in the 80"s could get 45 hwy mpgs with an overdrive gear. If they just built a Piaggio mp3 or Yamaha Tricity that u sit in like a car with aerodynamic weather enclosure that leans into corners = 100mpgs + fun to drive cheaper than a car but can be used like a car yr round at hwy speeds to commute to work. Cheap to repair /replace parts. Right now I switched from motorcycle to $130 2 stroke motorized bicycle kit. On a 29in Mongoose mtn bike. It's just as fun as a motorcycle and can get you anywhere in a small city. Would love a 750w mid drive ebike so you have hill climbing gears but looking at $800 for motor kit & battery alone 🆚 $130 2 stroke 40mph engine. I think the reason they refuse to build something like the Elio or VW XL1 that can get 100 mpg is because if millions of these got on the road. It'd cut oil sales plus oil tax collected by government too drastically too quickly. So we get the 50 mpg prius instead. Which originally got 100 mpg with the prototype version. Instead of that version wr get the 50mpg one.

Precisa limpar e lubrificar a corrente e relação para evitar maior desgaste. Não entendi bem a função de desengate da coroa dianteira.

I have the exact trike i do all my big tours on it..... Do you find the front wheels are a little loose even after you put new bushings in
No, my front wheels aren't loose at all. However with some speed, it is tipsy in the corners. I've gotten it up on two wheels, never tipped .
@Brian3680 Oh yeah, i have done that.... I tiped mine on a 2000km tour last year. lol good times
Caught this purely by accident I've seen one of these with an electric motor. 😅
My last one, had an electric assist motor.
@Brian3680 great video. I've had that idea a few times keep up the great work 👍
