    Trike short list and why...

    I read your "Revelation" post which has lead to your decision on the type of etrike to purchase. Interesting thought process. You're right about the cost of each. The M-360 and the Electric Fat Delta (EFD) are exactly the same price factoring in shipping on the Electric Fat Delta. The EFD...

    Trike short list and why...

    I suppose you could have both but when you increase your PAS you have to increase pedaling. If you have additional gears you can increase the gears so that when you pedal the cadence sensors continue to be activated because of the pressure of pedaling otherwise you tend to find that you're...

    Trike short list and why...

    You're leaving some things out in your comparison such as pedal assist (PAS). In any case I would not buy an etrike with single speed---deal breaker. No PAS is also a deal breaker and I am not aware of a single speed with PAS... The LibertyTrike (LT) had single speed and no PAS (just...

    Somewhere along the line you'll get a straight answer.

    Trike short list and why...

    I'm sure we can have another one of our discussions on this but I disagree even though Addmotor has the cutoff on its bikes. To me, a lower end bike would have a Shimano Tourney derailleur rather than a Shimano Altus derailleur (I don't think it states either way on the Emojo). The Tektro hand...

    It looks exactly like the used one Colin purchased. Maybe they felt the front fork was placed too far forward to use any suspension although in that case they usually use a steel front fork which tends to be more forgiving when used in that way. I guess you'll find out. I like the two baskets...

    The Hollywood racks will only hold 3" tires so our 4" trikes won't work unless they come out with something new. I would think that with all the 4" wide etrikes someone would be innovative enough to come up with something.

    Glad to hear it wasn't a serious injury and that she is excited to ride again. It sounds like you have plenty of places to ride. Unless you still have that truck to haul your etrike to a large open parking lot you may have to travel some distance to get there which would be a learning...

    Looking for an e-trike

    I have severe neuropathy of the lower extremities (especially right) and I use a cane or walker since I have significant balance issues. 2000+ miles and never had an issue of tipping or falling over with an etrike. If people start out slow and learn how to ride these etrikes they will minimize...

    Looking for an e-trike

    If you watch Brent's review of the Addmotor M-350 when he gets into difficult terrain he carefully maneuvers the 3 wheel trike with a 24 inch front tire which is what Colin is working with. It's a good idea of what you can do and of course Brent is seasoned in riding bikes/trikes but again he...

    Looking for an e-trike

    In 1988 the federal government banned 3 wheel ATVs because of deaths and injuries and since then 4 wheel ATVs have caused over 6000 deaths. You can't compare riding an electric 3 wheel trike to an ATV in addition to the fact that there is no pedaling with an ATV. Implying ATVs are safer than...

    Colin Great pictures. Looks like a perfect bike for what you wanted especially if you purchased it at a discount. Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope it is only a minor spill. I'm sure she was excited about riding it...it was a new adventure. Of course, you have to be careful...you might...

    You come back to them periodically. Most of their website looks like an alibaba advertisement but they do have the FT-1900 which has been mentioned in the past...It does look a lot like the one Colin purchased used. Have you moved yet or do you still have a couple weeks to go before you can...

    Mike also told you about the all steel etrike. Where does he come up with this stuff? :cool: I don't know what great things their videos tell you anyway. It looks to me like their motor has a lot of wattage but they are gearless which is a non-starter for me because of the additional weight...

    It's about 6-7 inches longer. It's about 77 inches long. That is a good idea...calling them which is something hard to do with Addmotor.

    Trike short list and why...

    Good point. We don't want an eternal conundrum whizzing around above our heads. The upright would be more practical for you to ride considering your height and this is in comparison to the semi-recumbent which would require more leg length to reach the pedal and properly pedal. I mentioned...

    Colin Sorry to hear about your unbelievable difficult road trip. Hopefully, you'll get some rest and be able to try out the etrike. Let us know when things settle down and you're able to take a closer look at your etrike. Take care. dave

    Wow...as you may well know I like the Addmotor M-330 the best of any (I have over 1500 miles on it) and I have the M-360 (almost 200 miles on it---and also a great choice) also which compares considerably with the electrictrike "semi recumbent". I think, considering your height, the upright...

    Colin Have you had a chance to pick up the etrike? If so, more details when you get a chance since I realize you went to your deceased brother's house to obtain tools etc. Thanks. Dave

    Grab a truck and go pick up that e-trike. Sounds like a dandy BUT think about this: The battery placement. I guess they couldn't build it into the frame. Also, for me it is 24 inches and the frame material is all steel. Might be quite heavy and may rust easily so will need all the mods and a...
