It turns out when all is said and done, the combination of cleaning with kerosene and lubing with teflon lube, was the worst thing I could have done. It caused premature wear of chain, which caused premature wear of front sprocket. THIS WAS MY FAULT NOT MOTOR TRIKE. Some (so CALLED experts on YouTube), advised this was a good thing to do, in MY case. It was not. I learned a very valuable (and expensive) lesson.
Glad to hear you were able to find the reason for the failure. We've all been there and done that at some point. Ride safe and more miles of smiles!
