Don't you just hate it when the admins have to come in and clean up (repeatedly) the mess of words you created and helped create? I figure your Dash like patriotic ways would get bent out of shape for being censored. Also, if we all just agreed with you, would you go away?

No censoring here that I am aware of (or even care to keep track of)...yet anyone who has followed along here (how many replies/views do we have here to date as compared with..?) has been blessed with straight forward, unfiltered opinions (thank you mods) not swayed by those (apparently) deathly afraid of swinging a leg over anything on 3 wheels to begin with.
Addmotor will either stop with what they have accomplished to date (again, groundbreaking stuff) or likewise improve on their two most interesting and easily modifiable designs: the Soletri and Herotri.
It wouldn't surprise me if any of their trike models were discontinued given the world economy and China's currently...yet let's hope that they give their two-up seat trikes a refresh before they make any other (necessary?) financial moves.
Still loving my Soletri and all it has had to offer both today and hopefully as my 2nd future trike.

So you are laying the groundwork for a story that - if we cut to the chase - implies Addmotor is going belly up.
Considering Addmotor has an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau, and the character you display in your posts, that is hardly surprising.

Here's one that has a differential. And it's folding and cheaper.

Honestly I am glad that you find your etrike perfect for you, and if it wasn't your brazen shots at anyone that had the slightest concern to point out, you could have been a good thing for the company. But your slams at the slightest concern and your direct attacks, after asking for opinions, are and have been the issue. We all actually want to see the ebike/etrike sector to survive. What the actual issue is your messages and attacking ANYONE that has had a different, well pointed out observation that is different from yours. I hope you can find support for your ground breaking run of the mill etrike you have in the future and customize it to your hearts content.

Wellllll...ya gotta come up with somethin' better versus simply shootin' the messenger, sooooo.....
forums.electricbikereview.com
...this is the 2nd groundbreaking fully suspended trike to come along in as long a time as this thread existed.
Feast your eyes, folks:
Full suspension front and rear
Dual Motors
Setting for a single motor so as to not drain the 2nd
Reverse
Rear Differential
Split frame making frame stretches easy/peasy
The largest/most heavy duty built seating/cargo area in existence for modding to your hearts content
4" fat tires
Hydraulic brakes all around
180Nm of torque
Well over 500lbs. of capacity
...read the thread and watch the videos for much more.
Love my Soletri and will never sell it.
This Tour makes it look like a toy.
Dual motor; full suspension; semi-recumbent MeetOneTrike with 180nm torque @ 25 mph
It looks like the next batch of Tours (not sure about the others) are scheduled for Feb. 5-10th on the website. https://meetonetrike.com/products/tour-dual-motor-dual-battery-e-trike It appears that they are being realistic in terms of future deliveries which is always a good sign in terms of...

Manufacturers sure have upped their game over the past few years, haven't they?
Until something out there upsets the MeetOne Tour for but a few of the reasons outlined in Post#170 above; I don't see the need.
As far as 'real world (re)views'(?) I have already contributed in terms of the Soletri and likely will on the Tour.
In all reality, there isn't really much more to say about the Tour that already hasn't been shown by that YouTube guy in the thread.
If anyone needs more than that coupled with what I've already offered in the other thread(?)...then I'm guessing that they are just not the gambling type which is frankly what this forum is all about.
I get a laugh every time that someone comes up here demanding/expecting that they're buying a car or something similar.
Ebikes/trikes are very simply rolls of the dice voluntarily made in the hopes of making said product something better when you receive it (period).
I like the term groundbreaking as the Chinese (primarily) have done just that.
They have provided a halfway dependable mode of transportation that has never been in reach previously due to no one being able to navigate the hurdles other than them.
That anyone would ever expect these things to be somehow perfect or 'warrantyable' (let alone locally serviceable) to boot is just plain fantasyland.

As a newbie here, I noticed an earlier posting from a now absent
member saying "be aware they [tricycles] are extremely dangerous
in sharp turns and even worse in off camber sharp curves".
This can be true for a rider new to tricycling—particularly coming
from a 2-wheeler—but it's not necessarily the case. I'm guessing
the claimant has seldom if ever ridden a tricycle more than just
around the shortest neighbourhood block. Or he/she doesn't
understand anything about shifting CoG, centripetal or centrifugal
forces, momentum, velocity, or steering dynamics etc.
I regularly ride a trike—after riding 2-wheelers for more than 60 years,
and I understand that it can take a reasonable learning curve to master
the 3-wheeler. But after that curve plateaus, then the necessary riding
corrections happen intuitively—just like they did for us 5-year-old kids
back in the day on our first 2-wheeler.
And, just like driving one's car and constantly shifting the steering wheel
in order to compensate for the roads cross-fall or camber, so you do with
your trike's handlebars. Too easy.
