    Help Choosing Please

    I have the Bintelli Trio and I'll only ever get a tilting trike from now on! (Bintelli is the only company that does a proper tilting trike) You should know the Trio isn't heavy. It is actually 70 pounds. (I KNOW the websites say 102 pounds. But it is a typo. Really. I have weighed it on...

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    The lever on the handlebar. Typically on the left. It goes from plus sign to minus sign. The latch is binary. It is on or off. But the lever moves a long distance. Ad you have to turn it ALL the way to plus or minus to lock/unlock. It is a little odd. Start off the trike. Get used to the lever...

    Bintelli Trio (Electric Trike)

    I have actually asked Bintelli to look at offering a "pro" model which has upgraded features. They aren't interested. I asked several regular trike companies if they would consider a tilting trike. They are not interested. It is sad that all these companies are being short-sighted.

    Bintelli Trio (Electric Trike)

    For what it is worth, there are connections available for brake lights and rear lights. When you open up the controller, those connections are just sitting there unused. While you seem to have already sorted it out another way, I am putting this here for anyone else who might encounter the same...

    Bintelli Trio (Electric Trike)

    Same brand as what you have there now. Just with the brake. Got on Ali https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32847748220.html I only replaced one so far, even though I did buy two. It requires splicing but that is easily hidden in the coils that hold the cables.

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    The danger on turns is why I decided against the Compass and got the Bintelli Trio. It tilts into turns like a 2 wheeler. It is very safe also it is much safer on roads what are uneven or tilt sideways (like all bike lanes on the side of the road where water runs off.) But you can lock it...

    Training wheels or outrigger

    What you need is a TILTING trike. It is an upright (not recumbent) option but it doesn't fall over in turns or going over uneven road. Most of them are tadpole style with 2 front wheels and one rear, but Bintelli makes one with 2 rear wheels one front. When you get on and off, the tilt is locked...

    Training wheels for adults

    While it may be too late to help the original poster, I'll leave this here for others with a similar question. Adult training wheels/stabilisers don't work well. First off, even the biggest monster ones with 16" tires break. And that is on a non-electric! They simply can't withstand electric...

    Bintelli Trio (Electric Trike)

    I already had ordered the parking brake before I even got the bike in hand, LOL! You are so right - totally necessary. I can't imagine why anyone would design a trike without a parking brake or integrated brake lights. What are they thinking? There are definitely a few major flaws with the...

    Need guidance and an education

    I am nearly you. And I researched over 50 e-trikes. Here is the biggest takeaway - if you have never ridden a trike before (I have) you will find turning very difficult. It is the opposite of what you do for a 2 wheeler and also not overly comfortable. Even on the most stable trike. A lot of...

    I'mma a newbie to it all, forums, e-bikes, and posting anything on the internet!

    Look at the Bintelli Trio. It is half the cost and the tilting is in the rear wheels so more like a 2 wheel experience. I love it!

    Hello!

    If you are going to the beach, you will want fatter tires for that. If you are not used to a trike, you will hear everyone tell you that trikes ride different. If you are used to 2 wheeled riding, then your best bet is a TILTING trike. There are a couple kinds. Most are "tadpoles" which means 2...

    Newbie looking for the truth

    Disc brakes for any ebike with speed. Hydraulic are obviously better but with what you are talking about I doubt you would notice the difference. However V brake vs disc you will notice the difference.

    Help finding an etrike/electric tricycle

    I almost got the Compass, but you are so right about the turning! So if you ever want to revisit a trike at some point, look at the Bintelli Trio. When you get on/off or are at a stop, it is a regular trike. Stable. But once you get going, you can push a lever and the whole front of the bike...

    But there are a few that tilt, which makes ALL the difference. Never ever going back to a non-tilting trike! (Mine's a Bintelli trio)

    Help Me Find Some Suitable Training Wheels For This?

    One great option is the Bintelli Trio trike. The reason is that it is a regular e-trike if you want it to be, But, you have the ability to flip a lever and the front half tilts like a regular bike. Which means it is in effect a bike with useable adult training wheels. I lost my ability to ride a...

    Tris Leaning Trikes

    I have experience with a tilting bike, just not this one. I have the Bintelli Trio which I highly recommend. I think the Tris is interesting. However I am not remotely tempted to swap my Bintelli for it. Pros for the Tris: Sturmey archer Internal hub (not derailleur) for easier ground...

    Bintelli Trio (Electric Trike)

    I am in the same boat, but thankfully my partner is an electrical engineer, so I should have answers for you soon! If you don't hear from me by the end of the month, please ping me. Can I ask - what specifically did you choose for turn signals and brake lights and how do those fit for you? I...
