Hi Dave,

crash mashine should have a better idea than what I have, he has been working to build a trailer for some time, maybe he has good idea on this.

If I need to convert this bike into electric I would simply use a front wheel kit.

Thanks,

Louis

I was looking at doing something close to build a load bearing trailer. To achieve a differential effect from two hub motors you need to use two controllers with the throttle run in parallel. With one controller it would try to split the available power. Also you would need to run the battery in parrallel to the two controllers. So basically two kits, one battery. It would need to be a high capacity battery to handle two motors. Or something like this that Louis showed me...
