what is the purpose of this? does this make the trike go faster?

having additional gears to choose from allows the bike to climb hills easier using the lower gears(more pedal revolutions) and obtain a faster cruise speed in the higher gears(less pedal revolutions) so it works much like a manual transmission in a car. I found that this would not fit the Schwinn meridian adult trike however , the axle is not long enough

Nope, no faster; easier to go up hills in the lower gears though. Best wishes, Robt.

If you take a close look at the top of the battery, it has flat connectors on it, a black and a red. Unless the battery in the trike is very different, all you should have to do is slide off the old connectors and slide them onto the new battery making sure to keep the polarity (red to red, black to black) correct. Make sure the battery is the same size, voltage and capacity (the AH rating should be at least the same or the trike will not last as long as it should.)

I am not the best person to answer this question but I can tell you the thing works. It allows me to breath more easily the method by which it performs this function is beyond me. Allow one more thought, I have been driving since I was 16 and I am now 69 and I still do not understand how the auto actually works however, I do know they both function well!

Putting a hub motor would differ. You'd probably be best trying a powered trailer that'd push the trike. The front wheel would spin as much as it does without. You're not gonna get better up hill with more power/speed. It's slow and easy up.But for when tired. Yea That'd be awesome. But again i'd try finding a trailer and possibly fitting it on the back of the trike and putting a motor on the trailer to push. You'd have better ability there then figuring how to removing the components for the front wheel/making more weight on the front end.

I'm sorry, our grandson has outgrown this trike and we sold it. You should contact Kettrike; as I remember, they were helpful with questions we had! Good luck, I hope it works out 'cuz this is a wonderful trike!!!!

It is for a 3 speed. My Dad and I put it on my Ford F100 custom. It was "three on the tree." We put it on the floor. It definitely needed modifications, but it wasn't anything my Dad couldn't handle. I think he needed to drill a hole or two in the support to make it sturdy. Other than that, it's working great for me.

Remove the "collar" around the base of the shifter. It will allow them to ship the car into the faster speed. HTH.

When you're pushing the trike the pedals don't move, so they can rest on the pedals. My daughter pushes a little and then rests a little.

I think so. Doesn't work as well on a bike with gears so a trike should be fine.

It's just an oil additive to increase oil viscosity. Older engines start to need a bit thicker oil.

It will work as well as any kid's trike could. It has air tires and fenders that will help and keep the gravel from flying up.

As far as I can tell, when you're pedaling and then apply a little throttle, the motor comes on to assist your pedaling. There is a sensor you mount to the left crank that tells the controller that the pedal is in motion and it adds power. Its very sensitive, a little on the throttle is enough to "assist" the pedal motion, if your in a low gear or high, it adds power. So if you are in a high (smaller cog?) gear, and are going pretty fast, it adds ON TOP OF THAT. So if you want, you could be going upwards of 30+ mph. Its can be pretty SCAREY!

only if the other wheel of the trike is the drive wheel... to the best of my knowledge, the hub for wheel this is not setup to receive a drive gear. I was going to use this for a trailer and one option I considered is removing the spindle and installing a long axle between the two wheels. that much is doable for sure.

Uhhhh. It's for exercising. If it had a motor, what would be the point? It plugs in to provide electricity to run the console and set the resistance which is what I assume you really meant to ask.?

Mine only came with 2. The purpose is to keep track of the speed of rotation of the wheels. the motor due to differences will spin at different RPM so if you want the car to travel in a strait line you need to correct for RPM differences using feedback from the code wheels. Use a opto interrupter to sense the slots in the disks and measure the time intervals to get the wheel spin rate and speedup or slowdown the motors to get the car to travel in a predictable manner. Do a internet search on the topic to see examples and code. Good luckRH

Yes, it does provide for control of the tool's speed. I will say that this would not be good for prolonged use of a moto-tool, though. It heats up fairly quickly. For short time uses of one however, it does work well.

Its really only a source of storage for blow by cause by excessive pressure build up in your engine. Unless your engine is modified for above average performance i really dont see a need for it.
