Hi, Iam a newbie my wife and I ride a tandem and have recently completed our 1st E’tandem conversion. we’re both somewhat retro in both our years and our bike.
It is a Dawes Galaxy which was a double gents but I had it converted to ladyback ( wife has new hip joints) by a brilliant frame builder it Lewisham London -photo attached ) .The motor is a Bafang 500w rear hub motor but needs a better controller as ours gets very hot .the battery I intend to have it adapted to 2x batteries instead of one and have them positioned in the rear pannier bags .
im thinking of changing the current set up with a more powerful front 750W motor as to help with better weight distribution and give more torque ,we’re looking for help and advise in all aspects of ebiking and will look forward to learning more that will help us with our rides.
