Default eTrike for Commuting

Hi,
I live in Canada's largest city.

I cycle to work year 'round and recently I have been doing 42km a day. That is really hard to do in the winter.

Last month I fell off my bike. Luckily it was not into a live traffic lane, but it made me think that it could happen. I then started wondering if a tricycle might be the ideal thing. One thought led to another and suddenly I decided that an electric hub might be the answer. I could do the 42km , not fall and still get my exercise.

The hub I chose is brushless. It has no moving parts, except when I pedal.

I'm just putting together an article about getting this trike on the road. Check out my article and post a response.
