Citat:
I'd say an electric system should either be used the whole time, or not be aboard at all. I see it as two different kinds of vehicles, but I may be wrong.
On the other hand, if the motor package could have a quick mount, this wouldn't be a problem. The trick is rather to separate the motor drive from the gears.
* With a crank/chain/mid drive it could be solved with a separate chain/belt system, like Matt Shumakers electric drive. Look at that compact package: http://www.recumbents.com/WISIL/shumaker/ebox/IMG_0134.jpg * With a hub motor, you could use the front wheel (or even both front wheels, on a tadpole) with a quick mount.
