I'm thinking direct drive would be the best way to go because it gets rid of the need for a clutch pedal and shifter which simplifies the trike build.

But I'm not really sure what kind of motor I would need to cruise is 65 mph efficiently. I don't want to be straining the motor at highway speeds.

How exactly does direct drive work? is this controlled through the controller? The way I'm thinking about it, it will be like dropping the clutch in a car and spinning the wheels.
