Fast long distance commuter

Fast reliable long distance commuter and solar power station

Cycle Analyst with 3 Button switch, potentiometer, torque sensor

Motor: Golden Motors Magic Pie 4 (now over 50.000 km, one new controller, one bearings change, one time regluing of magnets)

Battery: two 52V 19,2 Ah (basically 2 kWh, giving 100 to 300 km of range)

Frame: one of the last full suspension ChroMoly "NAZCA Cruiser" recumbent bike frames (old aluminium MTB frame broke after 30.000 km with this motor, so I went ChroMoly)

Brakes: Hope Tech 3 V4 downhill brakes to stop this heavy bike

Drivetrain: 3x7 Shimano, 52 tooth biggest front, 11 smallest rear, cheap Altus derailleur (insane reliability) - 22.000 km with same chain, have not touched a thing or setting since I built it. Will change whole drivetrain when gears start slipping.

Front tire: 20 inch Schwalbe Supermoto X in 2,4" (Balloon tire, extreme comfort at low pressure, high speed at high pressure)
Back tire: 26 inch Schwalbe Pick-Up in 2,4" with heavy downhill inner tube (zero flats in over 50.000 km)

Goal of the build was a super reliable long distance cruiser that gets me to destination without typical bike pains (bottom, back, neck, wrists) and FAST.

This is my first recumbent bike and i LOVE it! Instead of staring at the fork and asphalt like with regular bikes, you are always in "Cinema mode" with the head leaning back on the headrest enjoying the sights. Every bike lover should have at least one recumbent bike!

The Batteries can also be charged with 300 Watts of solar and funtion as a power station with Inverter to get 220 Volts. Inverter board fits in a bike trailer where solar panels can be mounted on top.
