All makes sense, In the UK Morgan has been building 3 wheel "cars" for over a century and they are all tadpole style.

Here's the latest, about to be introduced in days, driving used Lectric XP sales:
As for the guy above claiming "inherent instability" when talking three wheels (of any type)....I would challenge him to do what tikers (only) are capable of at micro-speeds (my favorite) or certainly faster with a beverage/food in his hand while carrying on a wonderful conversation with someone headed in the same direction by his side either on foot or tri-wheeling as well. 'Balancing' (to simply stay alive) is for those not so interested in a slow stroll down the pier of life complete with a comfortable seat at the end of it.
I'd rather do the Detroit lean on a trike at rest or motion than constantly say:
"Hey I l can't take standing here with this bike in my crotch any longer and I sure can't keep up with you guys wandering around to whatever peaks your interest...let's all go piss off some motorists and quit poking around here!..."

What Is the ‘Detroit Leaning’ Referred to in the Pretenders’ ‘Brass in Pocket’?
We were curious.

Not so. This trike is available in not one but 3 versions with the largest handling any rider from 6' 3" to 5' 3" (who knows if Addmotor added this model later or not).
Lots to like in this trike.

If you don't know if it was added later, don't tell me that it wasn't so.
My original post was from over a week ago, the rider height limits were given as such a week ago for two different sizes, not three.
Stop posting stuff you don't know.

Going to be civil on this one, but they are showing 3 different sizes for the trike now. So painful. Be careful he bites.
It has a cadence assist. If she can pedal at all it has 5 levels of speed. I doubt she will want to go over the 12 mile speed limit. It’s really meant for folks who may have physical limitations. It’s easy to get on and quite stable as long as you slow down for turns. But that is true for all trikes.
why?

Yes Throttle Only (twist grip) ... No pedal cadence assist. Easy to assemble ...
When throttle cruising you can ghost pedal which is still good exercise for us seasoned seniors. Gives passersby the impression we're doing the work
At speed 3 the rider can actually feel some resistance when ghost pedaling. At speed 4 and especially speed 5 you can't pedal fast enuf to offer any actual manual pedal assist.
It only comes with a 8Ah battery which is ok if outings are less than 8-10 miles (rider weight and terrain). Only charge my battery 90% (41.0v) with my average discharge after 2 bars (approx 34v - prolongs cycle life of battery). The actual LVC is 32.0v.
For someone that likes to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors for a few miles at a leisurely pace it's all you need. Used to wish its top speed was 15mph, but that's really too fast to enjoy the sights and smell the roses. No longer in a hurry once when adjusted to being retired.
Have no objection to the front hub motor. If it slips a little starting out it's probably a good thing ... less stress on the motor. I always start out in speed 2 with a little manual pedal assist to get going. It weighs less then the Lectric XP and easier to break in two which is a plus. I bring it inside in the winter for yearly maintenance and any modifications.
I have a gen 2 Prius and an XP trike and would love to know more about how you loaded this into your Prius. I am an older woman with limited strength and savvy but would love to figure out to get my trike in the Prius. I find it very difficult to handle when folded since the wheels do not go in both directions then. Any advice would be totally appreciated!!!!Another good review for the Lectric XP Trike.
XP Trike fitted inside the hatch of my 2010 Prius, with plenty of room to carry more stuff.
