This is a DIY Recumbent E-bike Conversion. Below Bill talks about doing the conversion and it sounds like this is not the first bike he has done, so there are alot of lessons learned in this clip most of the parts from http://ebike.ca/ in Canada go to there blog http://ebike.ca/fblog there is a lot of great info on setting up an E-bike for commuting. One of the great features about this setup is the motor is on the front wheel and the peddle power is on the rear wheel giving the bike all wheel drive.

This Hase Bike is the commuting King
Hase had always delivered great bikes. However, this time they have taken it to an new level. This bike can easily handle the rain in Portland OR. and the Snow in Salt Lake City, UT. That is because this e-assist bike is all wheel drive. Yes that is correct the back two wheels are powered by the driver and the front is electric and powered by the 500 watt motor on the front wheel.
There are a lot of electric recumbent trikes out there on the market, the problem is they only have one wheel that powers the bike that is the back wheel. In the rain and snow that is not the best solution. this is the solution that a lot of Velomobile use and that solution will not work very well in places like Salt Lake City.
This is the first all wheel recumbent trike, and it is the top of the line. The cockpit on this bike is awesome, there’s only one dial and on the dial is easy to read out of the way. And the minimized rain cover that goes on the front of the bike to protect the rider and cuts through the wind.
On the Video and site this bike is an true car replacement. Oh yes there is room for baggage right behind the back seat.
Now we need to get in in the US because this is an big deal.
