Low Rider Rack
http://shop.terratrike.com/product-p/tt600361.htm
Our custom Low Rider rack is designed to sit behind and below the seat. It allows for attachment of panniers and is also the perfect mounting point for electric assist batteries, lowering your trike’s center of gravity. Designed for use with the Rover, Rambler, and Sportster models.
Requires the addition of the appropriate model Fit Kit.
Not compatible with Rover x8 model.
Guess this isn't good news for eRovers. Wonder if is possible to use an idler or reverse chain tensioner to compensate? Do riders who use electronic motors with IGH? (Seems there might be a heat related issue there.)
Comments
It's how I have the motor mounted as I do... Reinventing the wheel so to speak...
Keep the rest of us updated, please.
Have plans on getting the Stowaway Bag which should compliment available storage, along with the Jandd Expandable Luggage Pack I bought back in the early 90's.
I used a couple of square U-bolts to keep it secured. I attached the chain tube guide exactly where it was located before by drilling and taping a whole in the plate. Then I attached the battery to the bottom of the plate on the left side (non-chain side) and used a couple of reusable cinch straps around the battery and plate as a safety backup.
If all goes to plan I will attach a second battery to the opposite side and bottom of the plate. Probably would have been easier, cheaper, faster, and better looking if I would have used the new Low Rider rack. Too bad TT refuses to let their customer base know what products they are planning on bringing to market until just before they are available. If I would have known about the Low Rider rack coming before summer, or even the end of summer, I would have waited for it.
Cinch straps alone would have been a good temporary solution until the rack was available.

Ended up leaving it as on the left side, which might of been just enough for it to maintain clearance around the front bracket. Still not sure it was needed really.
On the right side of photo is how the instructions said to install it, and I knew that was not correct. The extender bar is too long.
Got her installed though.
Under the Low Rider Rack shots
Would of guessed the arm would of only need to of been 1/2" longer than the OEM plastic clamp.
"floating" refers to non-rigid clamp attach to the frame. see how they do it at t-cycle.com [less than 50 cents if you just use 2 zip ties - for the price, terracycle should have the parts gold-plated]
might be the camera angle - appears the rear tire is not centered in the dropouts and your shifter cable is not secured to the frame.
It was in fact intended to float a bit. I apologize if those instructions in the installation guide were not clear enough on that, but we definitely appreciate the feedback if that was confusing at all.
This is how I set it up originally, but that arm can also go forward, there is no issue in that. I suppose if you were to have a larger wheel on your Rover, having that arm forward would probably be the better setup.
Hope this helps!
Ahh, okay. wondered about if it was meant more for the rear. The instructions were not very clear on where the arm was to be positioned, your photo does. Thank you.
The zip tie is there, more or less hiding.
And the rack support appears to hold the shifter cable on the forks.
Rode around a few times, and went for a late night excursion last night to cool off. Hard to cool off when was 80°F at night. No noise heard from the Low Rider Rack. The Sturmey-Archer was clicking away in the back.
Picked up a twig along the way and now the Sigma won't pick up from the sensor. Don't see any damage to the wiring. Computer works when shortened and oscillated across the connections, so it's sensor or wiring.
