Bought a FT-1900 from a Company that can remain anonymous. I had a few little issues with the motor controller. The settings on the controller that came on the trike were different than the instructions showed. But a quick trip to You Tube and I got that figured out.
At first I thought it to be a little "wobbly" a bit unstable but the more I rode around on it the more comfortable and confident I became riding it. Right there on the porch where this picture was taken, I went to make a tight left hand "U-Turn" ya know kind of spin it around no big deal have done it several times since I got the trike and have become fairly accustomed to the handling characteristics of the trike. You learn which way to lean in a turn to keep from tipping the Trike. I must say, it's not like riding any other mode of transportation I've ever ridden. It has taken some getting use to to be able to ride it with any sort of confidence. I "CRASHED" it right about there where its sitting just day before yesterday. I told you I was all the way into making a complete "U" turn. My right finger happened to catch the throttle and that was just enough to throw me off balance I toppled to the right the trike kinda on top of me!
The worst part is I've had so many surgeries to date I really can't afford to crash like that too often. I just turned 64, have been diagnosed with what my Neurosurgeon is called "Browns Sequard Syndrome". He says to me after a 3 level vertebrae fusion. Two years ago I had my entire left hip replaced. It didn't really bother me too much because the "BSS" affects my left side. The entire left side is dead, numb, tingley, peripheral neuropathy and such. The crash hurt not only have I been sore but it was sort of embarrassing as well. Oh well I'd get back up on that horse but the SOB has a a flat front tire now too so NOW I've gotta fix the flat before I can ride it again, Damn-It!
Oh well it'll be the first time I've fixed a flat on a FAT TIRE Trike!
At least I've got something to look forward to I guess. Fix a flat, then get back up on that horse and ride like the wind!
I just wonder how many people out there have this trike or one similar to it. They call it the FT-1900 and so far it seems to be a pretty well made trike. Of course it only has 98 miles on it so far so I haven't ridden it too awful much. I've only charged the battery twice. But so far, I like it. I've seen some other Fat Tire electric Quads I wish I could have afforded but with the prices I saw on those
