Help me find electric reverse trike in USA for $$

[FlaDeziner]

I am a casual rider who now needs to be concerned about stability when riding. I'm in Florida and it's flat, flat, flat. I have tried riding a regular trike and find it very uncomfortable and unstable because the trike does not tilt on turns. I want the ability to bike to the store and get some power if needed.

I'm convinced a trike with 2 wheels and some type of suspension in the front will work for me, but I'm not in the market to spend $6k on a Butchers & Bicycles trike or even $2,300 on a PFIFF

Certainly, there is a source in the USA to purchase this China Made trike I have posted above or something similar. Can someone direct me to a source? Thanks in advance for the assist.

Based on your particular needs, I would strongly recommend taking a look at the electric trike from Priority Electric Transportation. They build a high quality etrike that is quite affordable. Call me if you have any questions.

 

[FlaDeziner]

Very nice and certainly well priced, but it's not a reverse trike.

The Sunseeker Eco Tad would be about $2300 with shipping, it doesn't have suspension but it is a recumbent tadpole trike with a mesh seat.

 

[FlaDeziner]

Thanks, but a semi-recumbent doesn't really fit the bill for me. Who thought trying to purchase a Chinese bike would be so difficult to find. I hear the Chinese are flooding the European market with their surplus ebike inventory. Why is not going to the US?

Mount these to your favorite ebike.

You can use whatever bike you like, get the stability you need and move them to the next one when you inevitably upgrade. Best of all worlds.

The only upright tadpole trikes are cargo or delivery trikes like the Wike, Worksman, or Virtue Schoolbus, with their peculiar hand-over-hand steering. Of those only Virtue offer an ebike version the Virtue Schoolbus+

Considered a recumbent?

Great looking bike. I did consider a recumbent, but I am not a serious rider and I have a furry kid to carry on the bike.

 

[FlaDeziner]

Is there no retailer in the USA which imports the pictured Chinese reverse trike I originally posted?

Something like this: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) (Not electric,but a trike)
Or this: http://www.riderungu.com/shop/product/2017-kilimanjaro/ (electric trike)

I laugh every time I see a picture of a Rungu. That's one crazy design! Their double front fat bike was on an adventure version of Sharktank. All the investors declined. That link you gave is not an ebike, but it is a 52 pound twenty-niner pedal bike.

@FlaDeziner, the "Reverse Trike" in your image is not going to be any more maneuverable or capable of leaning than a regular trike. There would have to be independent suspension on the 2 front wheels which your Chinese trike does not have. Independent suspension will have some cost to it; probably more than $2300. It just takes a little practice and slowing down just a bit on turns and a regular trike or tadpole trike will work.

 

[FlaDeziner]

You're correct. Thanks for the comment.

Independent front suspension is not mandatory. This is a screen shot from https://bikerumor.com/2015/11/13/rc...on-seat-box-for-front-wheel-drive-recumbents/

Or here, http://cruzbike.com/trike.html#

Also in development, also not independent; http://trego-trolley.com

 

[FlaDeziner]

Love, love love the concept of the TreGo but $720 to $780 seems a bit high to me.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but Fladeziner, did you ever get one? If so what? I seem to be going down the exact same rabbit hole and I am curious how it turned out for you!
