Electrical Assisted Pedal System 

Our original multifunction tricycles can be equipped with an electrical motor kit which helps the pedaling. 

 

What  EAPS  means ?

It means  an electrical motor / battery  kit which adds propulsion to the human action.

 

The Italian Road Law defines "the bike a pedal vehicle with two or more wheels", consequently the tricycles

and four-wheels-cycles follow the same regulations of a bike.

An electrical kit, consisting basically of an electrical motor and a battery plus accessories,

must however  respect the following limits:

 

• The motor is activated by the pedals movement

• The  maximum  electrical power is 250 watts

• The motor is active within 25Km/h speed

 

By respecting such limits its homologation, plate and insurance are not required, since they are not considered a motorcycle.

The kit components are the following:

• An Electrical Motor, normally a DC motor, installed in a wheel or centrally in the pedal mechanism.

• A  Litium battery with power capacity ranging from 9 to 15 Ah, which can grant a power authonomy varing from 40 to 100 Km, but of course at cost and weight increases.

• A Control Unit which distributes the signals to the components. It can be incorporated in the battery box or it is an additional small box.

• A Monitor Unit , available with  LED or LCD display, which operates on/off mode and presents various information ( from 1 to 5 level of power support, greater the number higher is the power support, Battery status, Trip data..)

• A Speed Sensor, named PAS, which activates the motor and stops it  over the 25 Km/h or when the cyclist stops to pedal definitely.

• Finally a portable Battery Charger
