Dual motor; full suspension; semi-recumbent MeetOneTrike with 180nm torque @ 25 mph

If I end up choosing the stock seat after trying out the optional one on order; I'll see how much height that one of these adds to the lowest seat post position. I still have two on my IZIP Dash and whatever their MTB was called back then (maybe it was the Dash; I'm too lazy to go out and look): https://cirruscycles.com/products/kinekt-active-suspension-seatpost
They worked well enough before they were copied and brought down to a more reasonable price elsewhere.
 
make sure its above zero when you go there,oth may be a good place to be when shtf and the gates are shut,
That's exactly what all those zillionaires are thinking who make it near impossible to live there due to the high cost of living.
I have noticed two more trikes being advertised now,one pure Chinese everything with a 115# Chinese chick pedaling it around( probably an elite cyclist champ and a bad ass dual motor dual battery thingy that converts from a cargo hauler to a rickshaw in about 2 seconds( around 4$K) must be a growing market,the good thing power and stability seem to have been addressed,hope you get yours soon.
If you ever run across that again; would you please share? I'm still looking for the trike which beats this one hands down in terms of the features that we discussed and I value dual motors/torque.
 
One of the most unusual arrangements that I've witnessed to date and kudos to the guy offering it (from their website):

MeetOne just did a nice job in upgrading their website.
Wish that they would give some more detail on the upgraded headlight offered (lumens new vs old, new beam pattern vs old, etc.).
I see that they have a Facebook user group with 50 members. Would someone please go in there and find out anything new? Anybody own one in there? (don't do social media myself).

A suggestion to MeetOne for all those here on the forum who absolutely hate the term "groundbreaking trike" (see the Addmotor Soletri thread years go):
On your website, you claim "The first dual motor, dual battery (and) semi-recumbent electric trike!"
I would add a deal sealer for myself and frankly a very rare accomplishment in the trike world which somehow causes quite a few two-wheel pedal standers to get their panties in a knot:
The first dual motor, dual battery and dual suspension semi-recumbent reverse capable rear differential-equipped fat tire trike on the market..ever.
 
Just received my 15Ah spare battery for our MeetOne Tour in the mail.
Not a big box with every other spare ordered in it along with the trike...yet I'm hoping that sharing this gives anyone else with a Tour on order a little 'boost'. ;)
 
Apparently, I'm the only one on the Internet who ordered one.
I'm guessing that this was the case concerning that first shipment of Tours and again (apparently) no evidence whatsoever of anyone owning one but a single influencer on YouTube.
Whoever did receive delivery last year obviously isn't talking which would be a shame with this 2nd delivery fast approaching.
Credit MeetOne for allowing their product to do the talking in this thread as I can't find a discussion anywhere else.
Also credit the YouTuber guy in Florida (Rich?) and his daughter who have went out of their way to be honest in regards to what the trike is and isn't while producing many more videos than what any potential buyer would ever receive normally.
It's not here yet but I have growing confidence that it will ride/handle like no other out there when I rip that box open.
Excited to have taken the risk and to soon claim the reward.
 
I'll also credit the MeetOne Team for very simply tallying the number of regular Tour units left for its Feb. 5th-10th(?) delivery date which today stood at seven units. I have never witnessed a company do this in terms of container(?) shipment realities in the ebike world.
I've also noticed a whole lot of companies in this market segment slashing prices of late.
This may be the best time to buy ever for a number of items across the board; especially those currently available.
When I look at some of these newer products hitting the market now at these bigger showcase conventions or scheduled for the 1st or 2nd quarter(?)...what a tough place to be for businesses simply hanging on whether currently innovating or not.

If this Tour had dropped in any other economy than the current(?)...there wouldn't be seven left for sale no-how-no-way.
Kudos to MeetOne for designing/building a groundbreaking trike that is still selling well despite the economic mess that this world is in right now.
 
Trikes are starting to rise in popularity. I actually see them on the road now! For a long time seeing a trike was like seeing a unicorn or a UFO. So when yours arrives and you go out for adventures you'll be advertising for MeetOne. My friend is selling his BUZZ trike but he's out to sea right now and he didn't drop it off at my house (plus space is tight right now) but I'm sure the BUZZ will sell fast at $500 when he gets back. Oh, when is the ETA on your MeetOne arriving?
 
...just noticed that a company in Florida(?) apparently added MeetOne to their offerings. Good news for the brand:
 
MeetOne has kept their promise and even delivered before the promised ship date. Thank you MeetOne and everyone else up here for your input.

Received some of the parts ordered today.
The two covers seemed to be worth what was paid and of acceptable quality; along with the rotors, brake pads, tubes and spare chain.
I had some questions regarding the spring clips that come with the pads (which was a nice addition) along with the cotter pins and Loctite treated (nice) small screws which I have confidence will be answered soon.
So far so good...
 
Good (possible) innovation news for the Tour/other models(?)
I'm a big fan of doing anything to make seating more comfortable. Even put cushions between the large rear tool box and my lower back in my long distance atv riding days. I can only imagine being able to kick that backrest back a bit and to extend those handle bars up/down to most any position that I was comfortable or 'uncomfortable' at in terms of the old ape bars. This might become a whole new era/fhrowback to tough looking Tours roaming the streets with an occasional (recorded) high decibel throaty roar blasted out...just for fun. ;)
(from the 1:50 to 4 minute mark):

Had some issues which MeetOne solved to my satisfaction. All in all and in my opinion only, the best trike out there for the money right now.
The rear suspension for a larger person, as the YouTuber mentioned, is pretty much in the middle to end of its stroke length which is a nice ride until a hard hit. Lighter riders might not ever tax it. I haven't messed with any adjustments and planned on replacing it anyways. The overall ride is great. Not a fan of the seat/rest yet I got the optional adjustable version (slides front/rearward; backrest folds front/backwards to prone position) which is really nice. Pedaling is an issue as advertised yet again something that is fixable, imo. If you try and '2 bolt only' attach the rear basket the trike is still drivable and frankly comfortable if you throttle only. A lot is dependent on where you put your feet and how tall you might be. If you push the basket back a bit and fabricate a rear support for it; no problem save for the pedal angle which I believe can be fixed as well.
Just a rock solid build as these things go. Total confidence in the turns. Great acceleration and a relatively quiet ride for two motors. Brakes are excellent. The handlebars are nicely adjustable and swept back; literally falling in to your wrists with the seat pushed back all of the way. Too bad that the armrests were designed around very small people yet also fixable in my opinion (way too low). The display is very nice. Plenty of options/adjustments with the programming that I have not ran in to previously. Well lit and intuitive save for the controls which are too small and bunched too close together. in a small circle I can live with that. The headlight is awesome and puts out a nice beam with decent light and coverage. The front indicator lights are bright a well as the tailight which is a huge plus for me. The basket tube diameters fit Ortlieb 40L panniers which may still be available in coordinated colors. Tons of storage with these two items added. I attached the 2nd pannier on the side and flipped it on top of the basket top; still plenty of room to access the basket.
Just a solid design and a rare opportunity to make something your own without too much effort due to the beefy frame and massive seating area to play with.
All of the above and the fact that it actually looks sharp versus everything else that I've witnessed to date (and I've spent a lot of time looking) make this the perfect trike for me...after but one ride in sub-freezing temps on a seat that I really didn't care for.
It's going to have too disappoint me a whole lot more before I change my mind on this one.
 
You never listed your location. I say this because I bought a new motor scooter recently and since then its been raining and now snowing. I've only managed 100 miles when normally I'd have around 400 miles on it. Now the roads are all salted and nasty. We need a good rain now.

Did the delivery driver groan when unloading your trike? How did the box look? I've had ebikes show up in boxes that looked terrible yet the ebike was fine and I've had the mint box with ebike issues/damage. Anyways, glad you received it. Now get out there and put some miles on it! We want a follow up!

Dash, after some intensive research on the offering outthere I've ordered the Tour Dual on Feb 18th. Waiting takes an extreme level of patiencefor me, but reading your comments and the reviews from other owners on the FB Meet One owner's group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/meetonetrike
I'm expecting my trike will be shipped in the next week...
 
BikerJohn,
I understand your "extreme level of patience" issue with that much laid out given our present world-wide circumstances. I do find encouragement in the recent appearance of more and more distributors listed here in the U.S. yet I unfortunately have no idea as to what is going on in that Facebook group (don't do social media) yet wish that I did. About all I can say (for me) is to get the seat whether you think that you may ever use it or not. I didn't care for the stock one and absolutely love the other for $200 delivered. It is worth even swapping the two depending on your needs and I still believe that it can be adapted to pedal more easily depending on your height. If you just slap it on there and two bolt the rear rack on instead of four it is still a functional ride depending on your height. Heck you can even side saddle it/throttle only and still ride around just as 'laa-dee-dah' comfortable as can be with the handlebars/controls at your fingertips.
The throttle response is even/adjustable; the power comes on smooth/predictable and it cooks along at 21mjph+ with even a heavy load. I would say that it is what you have always wanted yet didn't know that you did in terms of work, play and puttering around wherever at events or gatherings.
Bonus: it doesn't look like anything else on the planet nor ridiculous at first glance in terms of anything that you would ever dare be seen on.

Meet One sent an email saying the trike should be shipped this week. Hurray!! Regarding seating, I may not find the stock seat "functionally comfortable" since my preference on all my bikes has been a Brooks B-17. Although, for several years I did ride a couple of Cruz Bikes...

At least you have the option of not only fitting your own but still using the multitude of post suspension options out there as well. For me? I just don't like their stock seat set-up at all; especially the tiny person backrest. I've also ridden atvs and mini-bikes for so many years that I'll just never go back to sitting on what frankly reminds me of a torture device. Even when I stop; I like to 'lounge' and their optional seat slides back/forth/reclines.
Heck one could even build up that flat/larger than normal/heavily beefed up area to sleep on with a little imagination...yet that's the beauty of this trike: the platform.
