Stokemonkey
Trek 820 mountain bike meets xtracycle Free Radical and the Stokemonkey.
The idea of using a hub motor to create a mid-drive made me smile the first time I saw it. But having the pedals always turn if the motor bugged me. And I also wanted my next ebike to have a throttle driven by torque sensing of some kind. The obvious solution was a right side drive with a freewheeling crank. Easier said than done, but certainly doable. And as it turned out, Grin was closing out some Stokemonkey parts right about the time I was noodling this over. It took five years of on-again off-again working on it, but it is finally done.
