    Trike short list and why...

    Sunlite XL 20" X 4 1/4" Wire Bead or Clincher Tire is one road tire ... look on ebay or ModernBike.com... I would imagine keeping the psi at 30 would cause more spin on asphalt. You might try nudging the twist throttle to minimize spin.

    Trike short list and why...

    I have 1500+ miles on my m-330 and 200+ on my m-360 and I don't have a lot of tire wear on either one but I have done a lot of beach riding. Make sure you have checked your psi and for asphalt it should be 30 psi and for dirt or sand 15 psi. There are 4 X 20 tires which are primarily used for...

    Trike short list and why...

    Interesting but Addmotor is not selling the M-330 anymore. Maybe they are selling a good number of M-360s that they decided not to offer the M-330. I do love the M-360 and ride it on the beach whenever I get a chance...low tide and reasonable weather etc.

    Trike short list and why...

    I just came back from 2 weeks overseas. I purchased another battery for the M-360 (I have two batteries for all my electric trikes). I haven't had a chance to ride since I came back Sunday but I'll check everything before hitting the beach with the M-360. How is going for you Jerry? dave

    Trike short list and why...

    I noticed that when I press the on switch for the headlight it comes on but the dimmer switch doesn't dim the headlight. I'll have to check this but I wonder if the dimmer switch turns on the dimmed headlight and the headlight switch turns on the main headlight. It would be a little cumbersome...

    I haven't had a problem communicating with them nearly a year now and since it appears they are responding from China I send a question during the day ET and they respond during the night CST (China standard time) (they are 12 hours ahead of us) and I get the answer the next morning. Right now...

    Trike short list and why...

    I did an hour ride today and went over bumps and stopped etc. So far everything is working great...no displacement or movement of the front fork and stem. You'll somehow need to send me your email and I'll forward the videos (F-3 and IV) since I can't upload the videos because of their...

    Trike short list and why...

    If you are talking about where the front fork meets the stem (linked to the handlebars) then we are on the same page. When I received the M-360 there were a couple loose black circular parts in the box which I fit into the stem and it seemed to work okay except I could never get the bar along...

    Glad you purchased it before they dropped the discount!!!!! Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I never received an email indicating that you responded on this post for some reason. I thought you had just given up. Anyway, I finally decided to look to see if you posted somewhere else but here...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    Mid-drives are comparatively new and they place a considerable amount of torque on the chain. With a hub motor if the chain breaks you can just motor on home but with a mid-motor if a chain breaks you will be walking the bike home. I don't think you would have seen many chains break with a...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    In regards to mid-motor drives (e.g. the Compass) both the motor and pedals need the chain to drive the wheel so riding a mid-motor e-bike with for example a snapped chain is a strictly downhill affair. The only way to solve that is to have a trike/bike with a belt drive so I'm not sure what you...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    I am sure you have your niche population but you are leaving out a large segment of the population which is turning to fatbikes. I believe your design team is overthinking some of this when simplicity might work better than the complex systems that are built. Mid-drives are a good example...

    2019 Evelo Compass Trike

    I like the idea of power to both wheels. That is certainly an improvement as well as the improved step-over. However, less than 4" tires is a misfire on Compass' trikes if they want to sell to people who want to ride these trikes on the beach etc. In contrast to "lots of issues" with...

    LET ME ADD THIS: IF YOU WANT TO CANCEL YOU BETTER DO IT NOW BECAUSE FOR ALL INTENTS and PURPOSES IT IS SHIPPED...and you may not be able to stop it. I would suspect that it will be in Florida by Friday (Orlando/Tampa etc depending on what freight company they use) and if earlier then maybe at...

    Trike short list and why...

    I never had a problem with them. When they shipped they charged the card. If they charged your card they are shipping. That was true for both etrikes (m-330 and m-360). They did ask to confirm my address and phone number just before they shipped which was fine with me. I know you're anxious...

    Revelation

    It reminded me of harness horse racing when I read it yesterday. My father loved harness horse racing and would take me whenever we would be near a horse race track. All the power is up front (horse) and the balance and control are in the back (buggy). It seems to apply to a couple of...

    ST. Augustine BTW...I would agree with you about Mobility4Less in regards to their practices. In addition, you didn't pay a surcharge to Addmotor for using a credit card.

    Trike short list and why...

    They shipped on April 27 and I received it within a week or so. They are in LA and I am in Florida and there was a mixup when it was received in Orlando. The shipping company sent it out to a business rather than residential and so it took a couple days longer than it should have. They tend...

    Glad to hear you finally were able to find something that works for you. What color did you decide on? I bought the green one. I guess that was one other factor for the M-360--pick one of four colors.
