    The Joys of MS...

    Gosh, that bike looks like it could go around the world! Pretty impressive that he is out there all the time on the bike. This is such a key point about why I love ebikes - it opens the world to so many people who would never consider it.

    Hello! New from Wisconsin

    Cap, Beautiful equipment, great reviews and sleek (everything that I'm not! ). I'm in Madison and am unfamiliar with the white river trail; where is it? Due to increasing balance issues, i gave up my trek verve+3 ebike in favour of a sun etrike. Quite a change and i miss my upright 2 wheel...

    Wow, this sounds great! I watched the video and it’s a very different design and I’m very curious about its comfort and usability for your wife. Do you have it yet? Thoughts? Reactions?

    Terry, my apologies for the delay. I have not checked the forum for a little while. You are absolutely right regarding throttle and I love it on my E trike!

    Inspirational eMTB video

    Wow, excellent! His msg at the very end about how it's all about camaraderie and friends is core. His point about accepting help from others b/c he can't do it himself is a point I'm slowly working on as my health degrades; tough to accept help sometimes but essential. Thx for sharing this.

    Battery % Readings - Is it really that hard?

    Thanks for sharing this table. I have a new e-Trike with a 500W Bafang motor and 860C display. Terrific, EXCEPT that the display always says battery is at 100%, plus the 'range' display is blank. Apparently this is a known problem with Bafang and Utah Trikes has been asking Bafang for a...

    I think it's great that yr son is so excited about the bike! Do mirrors on the handlebars work for him or are they disconcerting?

    The Joys of MS...

    I had looked at the Pedego bikes and really enjoyed them. I also like their culture. I ended up with a recumbent E trike because my MS is a long term problem and I figured I need to look at a long term solution for bikes. If my condition was stable andI knew what to expect, I would definitely...

    The Joys of MS...

    A quick update. I ordered a Sun Eco-Tad recumbent e-trike (ElectroTad) from Utah Trikes. I figured it's time to set aside my pride and move from bikes to recumbent trikes if I have any chance of continuing to ride. I like Utah Trikes and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. Like Electric...

    E-trike Bike Rack?

    Thanks! However I'm looking for an automobile-mounted bike rack, attached via a 1.25" hitch.

    E-trike Bike Rack?

    I just ordered a recumbent eTrike from Utah Trikes (Sun Electrotad) and will be selling my brand new Trek Verve3+ that I adore. MS balance problems forced me to swallow my pride if I want to stay outside pedaling....(lousy tho!). Anyway, any thoughts on somewhat affordable hitch-mounted racks...

    E-biking and MS

    An update. Again, I have MS that is progressing. I decided to get a recumbant etrike w/a Bafang motor, which is torque-based system for pedal assist, plus throttle. I just ordered a Sun EcoTad with the e-drive from Utah Trikes. My desire to keep pedaling on a balanced platform won out over my...

    It does not appear to provide a throttle function so I can get power off the line from a dead stop--that's my issue because I don't always have strength to pedal immediately....

    I'm interested in their van Raam Balance, low step-through 2 wheel bike. It has a 'launch' function to power from a dead stop. There is a local dealer here in Madison, so I'll check them out. So I could list my current (beloved) Trek on this site? Good to know. I haven't really explored it...

    The Joys of MS...

    Oh, I hate it when logic flies in the face of desire....! I love my Trek, it's only a few months old, and I'm not sure the best way to sell it other than the usual CraigsList, local versions such as NextDoor, etc.... Yes, I do ultimately agree with you and am looking at other e-bike options...

    The Joys of MS...

    Agree that it's a good looking trike. It resembles the Electric Bicycle Tech. tadpole trike reviewed on this site somewhere. Yes, I'm curious what they feel like to ride and will take one out for a spin soon. Jaizon, you mentioned you believe better options exist rather than the e-trike. What...

    Thanks for your input. So the Eco-Tad you believe is stable but uncomfortable? The world of recumbents (3 wheel) is alien to me, so I take all insights seriously. The EBR review of the Eco-Tad seemed positive for the price-point. Any others you might suggest? Thanks much.
