If there is one it is that in cold weather even with this lifepo4 battery does not heat enough during the day to stay above freezing by morning and we're Outdoors all the time. This is the biggest concern. There are heating pads from Walmart, there are oil pan heating pads and maybe the solution is as simple as cutting away the insulation on the sides of the battery, applying the heating pad then re applying the external installation, securing the wiring, and using it then sometimes in the winter time as needed. That it may be this thin enough that it won't interfere with the cranks.
If there is a second vulnerability it may be that the geometry of the otherwise game-changing rear trike wheel hub motor yields too much leverage on the internal bearing that it fails as it seems to have done. In two days it is hoped that back up bearings are secured. It is not known for certain that they will fit. It is not known for certain that they are the reason that there is now a wobbling play in the rear axle tho very slight and it may be that James will hold off on finalizing the diagnosis by opening the motor until he arrives at a place where it has labeled back up if that's still available. Or maybe he will dig right in. We'll see. If it turns out that the proper size replacement bearings can be secured then if it is necessary to replace the bearings every 3000 miles or so that's fine. If not, James needs to come up with a different Hub Arrangement, maybe the dd45 with proper adjustments, but never failed before.
