I've clocked a little more than 500 clicks on the new trike, actually and, while I still feel like the mid-drive doesn't help as much as my hub motor helped on the tourer, it is certainly more battery efficient and is still a measurable boost over riding unassisted. I still feel I need the seat a tad more reclined but, where the battery is mounted, under the seat, this restricts using the seat's full reclining range. I could go one more of the 6 remaining notches on the seat recline, but a bad bump might flex the seat into the battery and I actually feel like I need 2 lower more of the 6 available notches to prevent slipping forwards on the seat, especially downhill. That position isn't possible at all where the battery is. So I need to consider moving the battery onto the top of the pannier rack. A portraight of the writer 3 months ago, on test ride day. Having the battery bracket outboard-left of the frame and below the seat also puts it in the line of puddle splash...
