I was hanging out at a gathering of #foldies. This ICE (Inspired #Cycle Engineering) #PedalAssist #trike with a giant internal hub came. Apparently, it folds too! 😳

What's the internal hub and how is it giant in this case?
Here are photos of #InternalGearHub (IGH) -- there is no derailleur.

I just realized now that what I saw was the giant hub for the recumbent's electric pedal assist. That's why it was huge. My photo of the recumbent bike is too pixelated. Can't really see the details there anymore.

But the owner did say that it's #IGH with #PedalAssist.

Thank you for the elaboration!
