Hi- I have been looking at a backup trike to my addmotor and ran across this brand. I am seeking some feedback on these two things: I was concerned when I saw two things. One some other members comments on their bearings going out. We have fairly bumpy and concave asphalt roads in my neighborhood. Secondly, I was curious about the 500w motor power for hills. We have a number of short steep hills around here that my 750w does great on. ( I am a 150#) Thanks in advance!

I've had my Lectric XP Trike since last year, mainly it's been used by my in-laws (in their 80's) to scoot around and get some sun.
It does what it's meant for: low speed, compact and just get-on-&-ride vehicle.
Mine didn't have any issues with the wheel bearings, fenders were little bent during shipping, but other than that it's been trouble free.
The trike does have different power assist levels, can get up decent hills as long as are able to pedal a bit.
If not the throttle can only get you to certain top speed.
Just remember, trike doesn't ride like a bike, trike are designed to go slow.
By having a higher power output (750w) doesn't really help if you're looking for top speed and the trike becomes unstable.
