I've only had one or two rides on my recumbent tadpole trike under power assist. It helped, seeing as how slow I could only get it going under my own power. But it didn't do anything for the other issues...like how awkward the under-seat steering is, and how harsh the ride is.
Now that I have lithium batteries of the right voltage - and nice and light - I might have to try again. There was no point to trying to lug the thing through doors with an additional 25 pounds of lead strapped to it. Fitting through doors is another issue. As are the scrawny tires that I popped two of in the first week with it. It turned out to be one of those ideas that was better on paper or in my head than in reality.
It's time to get back in to cycling....I think the weather today will let me get out for the first time in weeks.
