Best electric recumbent combo?

My favorite is a WizWheelz TerraTrike with a Currie motor.
Runs like new 3 years later, but I assist the motor with
easy starts, overpowering it and shutting it off, etc.

But that is only my preference, and it may not be
someone elses.

That same kit is on an EZ-1 in a LBS. Might be more what
you had in mind. After all; what kind of nut rides a trike
and cackles his fool head off while spinning donuts on
crushed gravel?

I could write a book on this one, no wait I am writing a
book on this one.

Depends on all kinds of stuff like the road surfaces you
ride most often upon, head winds, climate, your weight, the
weight of the bent, the type of battery chemistry desired,
small rolling hills or big honking hills,how many watts of
kinetic energy you will contribute to assist the motor and
finally your desired range with the speed you wish to
maintain. Ideally you match the bent and motor to the
environment the driver (pilot) chooses to ride in.

Having chosen to spend the balance of my miserable existence
prior to shaking of this mortal coil devoted to electrofying
bents and in particular trikes, I would suggest using a
Crystalyte Hub Motor in a 20 inch rear tadpole or any 2
wheeler and pump 72 volts through it. You'll take most hills
and have a crusie speed of 45 mph on the flats...more if you
pedal to assist and a Mueller fairing and disc brakes cannot
be optiona/
