We just got some Bionx 350W electric-assist systems in!
A little creative work, and we found a great spot to mount it on the HP Velotechnic Scorpion (tight spaces.)

Push brakes and paddle shifters on ICE Sprint 26
We are putting together a trike for a gentleman with a neurological condition that inhibits "pulling" action with his hands.
He has settled on an ICE Sprint 26 recumbent trike and we have determined a configuration that will allow him to operate his trike with "pushing" actions.
The pictures show a prototype solution. We intend to mount the brake levers backwards so they operate with pushes rather than pulls. Trigger shifters mounted upside down and on the "wrong" side allow the paddles of the shifters to be actuated with pushing action using the palms of his hands.
The cost to configure this is nominal.

AlphaBENT is now selling Bacchetta recumbent bikes!
With the shop fairly saturated with trikes, we have found that we haven't been adequately serving the two-wheel recumbent market.
Bacchetta manufactures a range of recumbent bikes including high-racers and mid-racers made out of an assortment of carbon fiber, aluminum, and steel technologies.
