Welcome! Funny you mention the Trail 125. Around my area the buzz has worn off and you can buy one without a stupid mark-up. I wanted a Super Cub until I realized no flat floor and semi-auto=yuck! I have a Genuine Buddy 125 for a daily. Anyways, back to ebikes. The XP 3.0 is a great ebike. The...

I have a friend who is in his 60's and he not only doesn't know how to text, he leaves idiot voice mails. It gets better because he has a crappy phone and plan and 90% of the time when I try to call him back I get "The person you are calling is not taking calls at this time." Text is easy...

Seat discussions can get pretty deep, and I'm not talking cushion. Then what type of ebike will it be installed on complicates it further. With the semi-recumbent/feet forward you should have a bit more options I would think. My old Rans Fusion had this nice wide seat that was booty heaven...

I remember those ATC 3-wheelers. I recall most tip-overs and running your leg over was from people not knowing how to properly ride one. Young kids and adults with no business being on a ATC. NO ONE ever read the owners manual and the adults would get a few beers in 'em and go show off. The...

Both of my parents passed when I was in my 20's, so I have no direct "parent needs money" reference. Now my sister is 10 years older than me (She claims I'm the mail mans kid!) and if she asked for financial help I'd have to investigate as to why, and she would do the same should I ask her for...

Im pretty sure your trike will show up. What's happening is you're eagerly awaiting it and checking the routing schedule constantly is making you antsy. I hate when I see a item I ordered getting close and then, with no warning, go AWAY from my mailing address. But I don't think you ordered from...

We have a guy in our area who pulls a little trailer from Wal-Mart behind a bicycle with the following on the trailer: Push mower. Banana shaft string trimmer. Hand gas blower. One gallon gas can. Holds it all down with straps and a cable lock to reduce theft. During the summer I see this guy...

Blips Grips. They are clear grips with led lights inside. $40. I ordered a set (will add photos later) but the grips are BRIGHT! They have multiple colors, patterns, brightness control and effect speed control. I was going to put them on my JackRabbit but my wife claimed them for the passenger...

I have a few bicycle charities in my area. Two are thru local churches and the other 2 are normal charities. If you travel out of the area/or state bring them with you with a prearranged charity to take them. I guess I have local charities because I live in a heavily dense urban area. I do...

I had a pedal start moped (Baretta 38, I just found a picture of it recently with me wearing a Troop sweatshirt looking gangster) when I was 14. I was 2 years under the legal age but I still rode it everywhere. I can honestly say it made me a better driver when it came to getting a first car (84...

When you say kids I picture getting a JackRabbit ebike. The kids will get no exercise but I guarantee they'll ride them. Super light and simple. Also, not stupid fast. If you want them to get exercise then a Lectric XP Lite. Kids want fun, weird and neat.

Comparing a base model car to a ebike purchase is this. I don't want a torque sensor. I'm fine with cadence. I don't want a mid-drive. I'm lazy and I'll never match the gearing up for starting off. Hub drive eliminates that mistake. I must have a throttle, preferably a half-throttle on the...

I'm a simpleton. Example: I can afford any car I want but I purchased a base model Honda Fit. I don't need all the extras that I'll never use. Just give me a.c., cruise control and reliability. Also would never buy something huge, like a quad cab pickup. I just need a vehicle to get from point A...

So you're really going to use this trike at high speeds and going far? If so, this trike will work out for you. Most everyone I know just uses trikes to run to the store or local park. I don't leave outside of a 6 mile radius much anymore myself. So when you buy it and start riding it do a...

Trikes of any kind have always been a weird market. Now that trikes are starting to gain some popularity more manufacturers are jumping into the trike market. For the price Lectric still has the best dollar for dollar valued trike out there. Liberty still makes trikes as well. Pedego still has...

So your'e looking for something more comfy, more power and longer range. I fully understand that! I myself have purchased way to many ebikes only to find out they don't fit my needs. I now insist on extended test rides if possible so I don't waste anymore time and money. The Lectric ONE was the...

Just curious, do you own a trike right now? Or are you looking for the perfect model before committing to a trike purchase? Have you test rode any? What do you currently own? This model looks like a decent balance of power and ergonomics. Concerning the PAS question with the 2nd motor, reaching...

I have a good friend who makes good money but this is what he does when he travels. He'll take the Amtrak out of Norfolk, VA and head in one direction for a week to explore. He has a Brompton he takes with him for getting around with but this is what he does when he gets to the town he wants to...

The more I look at these shooter pictures the more I think the guy looks like a old coworker. This guy, Clint, got ripped off by his moms boyfriend on more than one occasion. Heck, I'll just tell you what happened! Clint was living at home and his mom was dating a long haul trucker. His route...

Plus some bike shops do rentals as well. I'll never buy another DTC ebike without a extended test ride.
