As someone who's owned a few trikes I know:
Anything over 15mph is horrible.
A ridiculous, all encompassing statement that is not true and you well know it. Here folks is your average trike hater on the forums: "...I've seen and rode them all so you shouldn't ever as your mother government told you...". They are a blast at speeds t
hat a 2-wheeler cannot possibly achieve all the way up to 15 mph and beyond if you pick the right one.
Good brakes are mandatory.
Be prepared to find the disc type, not cry too much about it and to regularly get your wrench out or replace the whole system. Heaven forbid that kids tinker with something old or outdated that they could first afford like we did when technology advanced.
Differential is much preferred.
Gee, I thought that I would never hear it. The point of this thread. A differential that is tipping the trike world on its head by Addmotor right here for sale today
Turns will always be weird.
One thing that amazes me about the trike naysayers is how dangerous these things are when statements such as the above are true. If you are always cautious in terms of turns and your speed reflects this, what is the problem here? Afraid to go in a straight line faster (ie. 'life') lest life come right up and bight you in the arse?
It's gotten to the point where people today
have to be convinced that their lives are only dangerous in their video games.
Didn't Addmotor have the cracking in half frame problem awhile back?
I really get a kick out of you guys who claim to have found the bulletproof overseas bike maker selling anything for not much money delivered to your door.
And lastly:
"...Trikes have their place but I see Addmotor
playing the power game with no concern for customer safety. If the OP does get one please give us some real world feedback..."
What
is 'the power game" in bicycle manufacturing anyways?
I
do have one of Addmotor's most recently released trikes (search for "groundbreaking trike" where this trike is also discussed) where I...wait for it...have to continually remind trike haters that I (again) actually
own one of the two most important trike designs to be released in recent memory.
The upgraded motor here on the M340T is a no-brainer. Mid drive: Ditto. Throw in the differential?
Groundbreaking...which frosts the arses of every trike hater out there warning everyone to never drive a trike more than 10 mph or to blame the government for ever
allowing you to buy one.
