First video off-road/climbing a hill:
OK, I'll try.

The Range says "Up to 130 miles (209 km)"
That is a bunch of hooey, especially if you unlock it to 23.6 mph.
You'll need a 20mph tailwind and to be going downhill the entire trip to get that kind of mileage.
You'll only regret your purchase if you don't buy another pair of batteries for it.
That's a lot of money for a 15ah battery, but it is UL-listed.
You can probably find cheaper batteries, even UL-listed ones for less if the battery doesn't have proprietary software to enable it. (A digital handshake between the controller and battery)
My two wheeled ebike weighs about 90 pounds with two batteries and I get just over 60 miles using up both batteries and Not pedaling at all.
I use up a 48V 25ah, and a 48V 19ah battery to do it with my speed limited to 32 kph.
I can go over 80 km on the 25ah battery alone if I ride at 20 kph.

your drive-train is destroyed because you do not pedal and most likely do not start out in a low gear, what do you expect?I am physically fit and pedal assist my E-mtb mid-drive and shift accordingly. result is a long lasting drive-train that is properly serviced. So trashing ALL mid-drive motors is somewhat ignorant, WTF? buy a moped if you want to "hammer the throttle". I can ride 70 miles 15-20 mph easy on the flats in active mode on my Giant Dirt-E+0 pro which is a high power/torque Bosch motor.I agree.
I don't pedal so I don't need a PAS sensor or Torque sensor at all.
I don't have any hills to deal with, so I don't need a mid-drive.
That leaves my driveline virtually unused and in no need of any servicing.
A high power mid-drive destroys chains and sprockets in no time that need to be replaced regularly.
A second battery was necessary for me so I could let go of my range anxiety and hammer the throttle.
I broke the rack off my ebike with a second battery attached to it, and it had a speed wobble being mounted on the rear rack, so I managed to attach it to my top tube with special moldable plastic.
I'm 100% function over form and don't care what it looks like.
The uglier and stupider it looks makes it identifiable and less likely to get stolen.

What's your point? That they should..shouldn't.. or ask you first?have you noticed that not one of the top ten bike manufacturers do not offer etrikes?
none that I know of
Ok my friend..I'm going to throw a little splash of water in your face here and inform you (wait for it)...that you truly are in a fat tire forum thread. You evidently don't like trikes and you have an even worse attitude towards fat tires in general (the very category that all of us here gravitated towards in the first place).. If I were to design an E-trike it would feature a Bosch or Yamaha mid drive motor, NO energy sucking slow fat tires,
Alrightee then.Please cancel the order and reconsider some other type of bike. if anything RAD Power trikes would be a better choice?https://www.radpowerbikes.com/collections/electric-city-commuter-bikes
It's junk and only a moron would buy one(Back to the topic of this groundbreaking trike):
One of the biggest things intriguing me on this MeetOne Tour trike is the bolted frame midship.
I can't even imagine how easy it will be to lengthen that frame to literally the exact custom fit needed for any rider or even multiple.
Great design for future modifications on several levels.
Fat tires are for mentally retarded people like you. The origins of fat tires originated in A laska for riding on snow and ice, they are good for nothing else. Massive unnecessary weight drains batteries. Slow to accelerate and stop with all that mass.....worthless compared to a 2.5 tire with quality suspension. Guys like you are clueless in regards to the crappy knock off bikes you buy from some sketchy company that rips people off . Gosh , fat tires are SO awesome, all the pro riders use them. I hope I get banned ,to painful to deal with morons like you ,kiss my ass , you know nothing about high performance bikes, I do.....,I race bikes and motorcycles and am very good at it......so there, take that.....pussieWhat's your point? That they should..shouldn't.. or ask you first?

Can somebody please get this guy outta here and send him over to another sandbox?
Alrightee then.
We'll see if your post above and likely more ridiculous off-topic banter to follow get booted outta here by the moderators.
Funny isn't it that a whole lotta off-topic crap is somehow being allowed in this thread for some unknown reason. Here's a reminder: Groundbreaking trike. Do you like it or not and do you have a *specific* trike which is *feature for feature* better which you can name/speak intelligently to?
Could it be that this MeetOne Tour is truly taking the market by storm right now and that some brands have a whole lot to lose if this brand soon becomes wildly successful(???)....
Thank you from all of us.It's junk and only a moron would buy one
Again, you are in the 'fat tires' thread.Fat tires are for mentally retarded people like you.
It is interesting to me that Grin seems to promote the K.I.S.S. principle as well (one single powerful motor/control) when referring to the popular CAT trikes which I seem to remember as being much lighter recumbent tadpoles.I'm kind of hoping that I can wear out the OEM motor just to see what a Grin would do for this trike...yet I'll probably yank them both out of simple curiosity long before that happens...
(At the 1 hour 42 minute mark):
Dual Motor Drives - Learn
Dual Motor and Multi-Motor drive systems allow you to get more power and torque than is available with a single motor. But they are also more complex to setup and wire.ebikes.ca
You are completely wrong about that. Building a mid drive ebike ups the ante on the required competence of the builder. When someone not up to the task decides to build one anyway, the incompetent builder promptly blames the equipment instead of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for their mistakes (or even understanding that they made any).A high power mid-drive destroys chains and sprockets in no time that need to be replaced regularly.
You are just as bad as the person who started this thread (there's a reason he's mostly just talking to himself on this forum... you are new and missed the previous gushing over a different 'groundbreaking' trike).Fat tires are for mentally retarded people like you.
Not a whole lot of experience talking here. Mostly parroting back what you have read other people say on the internet, I'd wager. First of all, sure the early fat bikes came out of Anchorage, but they simultaneously were developed by a different group in the deserts of the Southwest, where they perform extremely well in sand. Additionally, if you ride overland (as in there is no trail, so not even singletrack) your vaunted 2.5" tires will go next to nowhere, while my fat tires will roll right over stuff.The origins of fat tires originated in A laska for riding on snow and ice, they are good for nothing else.
Not meaningfully. Especially if you match your air pressure to your terrain.Massive unnecessary weight drains batteries.
This is nonsense. First of all, a fat bike as a bicycle when in its element is about overcoming terrain in forest, sand and snow. Speed is a non issue and you are missing the point of the platform if you think speed is a driving factor in using them... but on the other hand, when was the last time you saw a motorcycle with 700x20C tires? There's a reason for fat tires on pavement and thats compliance and stability at speed. I put many thousands of miles (about 12000 across three bikes) on pedaled 28-32 mph bikes with fat tires. Hit potholes at 28 mph on a ride you are making for transportation (i.e. serious use not recreation) day in and day out and you will have a better understanding of the importance of fat tire wheels' utility and reliability.Slow to accelerate and stop with all that mass.....worthless compared to a 2.5 tire with quality suspension.
A tough guy running his mouth on the internet... Wow thats new.Guys like you are clueless in regards to the crappy knock off bikes you buy from some sketchy company that rips people off . Gosh , fat tires are SO awesome, all the pro riders use them. I hope I get banned ,to painful to deal with morons like you ,kiss my ass , you know nothing about high performance bikes, I do.....,I race bikes and motorcycles and am very good at it......so there, take that.....pussie
You are completely wrong about that. Building a mid drive ebike ups the ante on the required competence of the builder.
,.. Also a mid drive is MUCH much more energy efficient.
,.. A mid by comparison gets downshifted, and spins merrily away on lower power levels, using its power to move the bike not heat the motor casing.
