Sorry to hear it. I'm going the other way.
I ordered up a rear wheel with a hub motor and I'm figuring out a design for a bolt-on modular "xtracycle" type extension that will have the motor wheel and battery, as well as cargo racks that I can hook up to either my tadpole or 2 wheel recumbent. I have a 36V 20AH lifepo4 that I was going to use to revive a Giant LaFree, but never got that to work the way I wanted.
My goal is not for great speed, but to get as many assisted miles as I can. I was very inspired by watching the video of that guy that went all the way across Canada with his electric assist bike by plugging into outdoor outlets along the way. I'd like to try the same thing in America, but I don't think the outdoor outlets are as easy to find, because much of the country doesn't get cold enough for block heater outlets to be placed everywhere. I'm sure that the outlets can be found, but I'm also sure that there are no shortage of people who will charge you a couple of bucks to plug in for a couple of hours.
