I will never complain about regular bike gearing again! Spent about 4 days trying to suss out why the chain kept jumping off on the new mid drive motor, turns out it was because it wasn't looped through this teeny tiny gear, frustrating as it must have been set up wrong somehow since I got it, as gear wasn't looped through before. My hunch is the front derailleur kept the chain aligned a lot more before.

Called in the big guns today and got Dad to help fashion a battery mount for the trike. One strip of aluminium was a bit flimsy, two does the job though.

Finally commited to an electric conversion kit for Phoebe's trike, I got a Tongsheng TSDZ2 from whoosh bikes (wooshbikes.co.uk/). Build is progressing well.

Very quick quadricycle ride today as the sun was going down. I'm still chicken about going out for long given how much the battery no longer holds a charge well. My knee joints aren't up to pedaling it without e-assist.

The barista at the Peet's kiosk was very excited by the quadricycle. She is an engineering student. And was surprisingly unfamiliar with the concept of e-assist as opposed to full electric.
