    My ETrike, Heart, Dog, Me, And Community

    I love reading stories like yours! As someone with MS, who rides a tadpole trike (and has flipped them) and is as stubborn as you appear to be, I can relate completely! I also love that you were sensitive to your dog throughout the whole experience of the mishap. Dogs and bikes keep us moving...

    Randall, Pretty great customizing and improvising. I suggest you share all this with Mastretta so they can potentially help others, and who knows, maybe they'll give you a little something for you input and business.... I really hope it all works well for your wife and I'm quite confident she...

    You provided a lot of good info in general for those of us with unique cycling/fit reqts--thanks! The bike concept and design ideas are so interesting and I hope she's comfortable actually using it. I think it's easy to talk yourself out of trying new things when not feeling well or...

    Welcome to Disability and Ebiking

    As someone disabled and using an e-assist with throttle on my trike, I’ve never noticed any anti-throttle bias in this forum, although people are people and it’s inevitable that some people will voice judgmental/hurtful opinions. If so, they are definitely in the wrong forum! Re dealers and...

    Richard Have you ever seen the vintage bikes site? You may want to check it out at https://www.vintageelectricbikes.com/. They are a small California company and they build their own bikes that are beautifully designed and all electric. I would say they are a cross between a motorcycle and a...

    Randall I owned two UPS Stores until recently and offered DHL b/c I don't like UPS Internationally. While DHL is generally wonderful, Canadian customs and brokers are challenging, and expensive. I hate to say it, but shipping equipment and freight to Asia is easier than to Canada, and I know...

    Good luck with customs--MX as country of origin shouldn't be an issue. Now, Canadian import duties may not be pretty, but so be it... Can't wait to read about your impressions!

    Keep us apprised! Which model did she get--Sport, City, Cargo? It looks like the City and Cargo have lower step-over heights, which is prompting my question. I wonder if she can approach to bike from the back and walk up to the seat? Let me know. Thanks and have a great time with it!

    Hi Randall, Did you get the bike yet? You had thought it would be late May. Let me know and I'm sure you all are on pins and needles. I'm really interested in how it rides and now your wife likes the tilting functions, almost like a rack-and-pinion steering. Any idea how reliable or durable...

    Thanks for the update and I’m sure you all are excited! The price isn’t bad and honestly, lower than I thought it would be. Are you going through a dealer or distributor in Canada, or do they ship them directly from Mexico to you in Canada (for free)? What are your thoughts on the step over...

    Randall I viewed the other videos and love the suspension and tilting capabilities... like a regular upright bike. Like yr wife, the stepover height for me wd be a challenge. Pls let me know how you address that issue after you break-in the new bike. I like my recumbent etrike but but...
