Great review thanks, hope this is available in Europe soon...

There is a coaster brake on the rear wheels, just like an old Schwinn

Reverse is cool,I find it impossible to move my Lectric Trike backwards. Right. I'm impressed by the front hub motor like cheap bike kits have. Who needs proper rear wheel drive WITH A DIFFERENTIAL. I'm impressed by the mechanical front disk brake and particularly impressed by the rear coaster brakel ike bikes had when I was a kid 60 years ago, brings back fond memories like my Weejuns and our crank telephone. And I love that you can choose from a number of options to make it the semi-usable bike you want. And who needs a speedometer anyway. Love that the handlebars fold down, makes me wish that the frame folded too. But I guess that's not technically possible. I also LOVE that they just reduced the price from $2499 to $1299. I'm sure that all those folks who paid that extra $1500 dollars for it a few days ago will be getting rebates to make that up. Yep.

Brakes only on the front? What? If you have to hit the brakes suddenly in the middle of even a modest turn, good luck!

It has a rear coaster brake.

Of the 4 ebikes I have owned, the RadTrike is by far the most disappointing. I discovered a design flaw during my first ride. The clearance between the pedals and the frame is insuffient. In order to pedal without having the heal of my shoe contnually catching on the back frame, it is necessary that I peddle using my instep opposed to the ball of my foot. A significanf flaw in a bike lauded for being designed from the "ground up". I discovered the second flaw after a week of riding. The back chain sprocket assembly has a sprocket that, instead of being part of the bar attaching it to the bike, is a seperate, moveable part using a simple hex bolt to keep it in place using friction between the bolt and the bar. An absurd design given the bar is subject to continual vibration that loosens the bolt making it necessary to tighten it repeatedly to prevent the chain from coming off. A purchase I deeply regret.

What did you feel when the front went out?

If it were to go out , it would be very cheap to replace. That's one of the positive things that I see on front hub motor E bikes, A low ownership and maintenance cost. You essentially get AWD if you pedal while twisting that throttle in slippery conditions.

The trike is limited to 14 mph.

a nice aaa
