Thanks for the practical education so people can make their own decisions. Proof too as I wouldn't think you and mom would choose the same!

I have stage 4 cancer and walk 4 miles for groceries. At one time I loved it but every day it’s harder and harder. Living in a small town has its challenges with no transit service but you do what you do to enjoy the country life. I’ve been looking at these bikes for sometime now trying to figure out which would be best for my needs. I was leaning towards the lectric with a high back seat and baskets . But it seems every time I look up the prices go up and up I can’t keep up with them. I mean really people we’re not millionaires. Well not all of us I live on disability lol that’s far from being a millionaire.

My choice out of these would be the Lectric XP Trike. For the price, you really are getting the most even without the cargo package, but they are currently including it and the backrest for an even better value. It's awesome that the XP Trike includes hydraulic brakes which is not only great for low maintenance but also for stronger stopping power when you're carrying a heavy load without needing a powerful grip. The rear/mid mounted motor is also a cool idea. The rear track may be narrower than the RadTrike but I'll bet the XP Trike is much easier and faster to squeeze through doors when you need to.

Great rundown of all the features I admire on the Lectric XP. The R&D and component finishing on Lectric products show their commitment to the development of design and functionality in their product line. They aren't just picking out a lot of bikes in a Shenzhen warehouse and slapping their brand name on them.

I am 76 years old and have found your video most informative. Thank you

It's important to note that the Rad has a coaster rear brake and a mechanical front disk. I bought the Lectric for my wife because she can't pedal. The Lectric has hydraulic breaks front and rear which is important because she's not strong enough to operate a mechanical disk brake.

This is incredibly helpful! I am 68 and had an accident (fractured vertebrae) test driving a 2 wheel Rad bike during a test ride. I’m determined to get an e-bike so I can enjoy the trails and scenic rides here in Southern California! It was very helpful to see your mom driving the trikes!

I have a Caddy Emojo Adult Electric Trike which is most like the Eneuro. I have had it for almost 3 years. I paid $2800 for it and I added an extra battery which brought my total to $3100. I really love it. I am 56 and it has helped me in so many ways. I can sum up in one word what it has given me: FREEDOM!

What I have learned over the last few years is to utilize the different pedal assist levels. When I go to church on Sunday, there is a very steep hill I have to go up. So obviously, I have it at Pedal Assist(PA) 5, the highest level. But I have the chain at the lowest setting. But when I am on level ground and in the bike lane, I usually have it at PA 3 which is really enough. That keeps me at 12-15mph. I get just under 20 miles on a single charge.

Just a note here: it seems that the cargo package and the seat with the backrest are once again included with the Lectric Trike right now. I have one (from the original preorder) and I really, really like it!

wow! yeah a great value. I am looking and wishing for enough dollars as this looks like what I need. the front basket might be good, but that rear basket And the seat upgrade! [very nice] from a mobility perspective this just might be what I need.

Definitely impressed by the choices Lectric made here. Overall, I would say it's the best choice. Hope I win it, because I'll never be able to buy one on my disability pension. Thanks for doing great breakdowns on this somewhat niche industry. 🤠👍

Just putting this out there, after I started watching this video I got a text from Lectric mentioning a sale, right now they're offering the support seat and the cargo package for free for the XP trike.

Excellent! I especially like how you don't overlook the stability issue on trikes. Others lacking integrity pass it off as a minor issue, but it's not, especially on cambered or rutted riding surfaces.

I would love to see a reverse trike or quad bike for more stability. Honda 3 wheelers had a well known flaw where they were comically easy to flip on a sharp turn, thus the birth of the 4 wheeled ATV.

I've just bought a very cheap used reversed e-cargo trike with a huge box on the front with a little door so children/dogs can enter and sit for a ride - I've taken out one set of seats so the dog has more room. It closely resembles the Babboe Dog E-cargo Trike if you fancy a look. Can't wait to try it out - servicing it first ❣️

Totally speed (and weight) related. You won't flip a delta trike. Tadpoles a bit more tippy but still nothing like a motorbike going 40mph.

The specs and price on the Lectric which has rear drive wheels and the accessories they offer make it the one I would buy. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for this. I have had the Addmotor m340 for almost 3 yrs. I wish Lectric had theirs at the time, or I would have picked theirs. I like the fact that it folds, has hydraulic brakes, parking brake and if I'm not mistaken, positraction. I think I may sell mine.

@bobshoe1

It has a split differential which is very helpful when turning as it allows the inner and outer wheels to spin at different speeds. This makes it safer on turns. Brilliant engineering and real value on so inexpensive a product.

Thank you for the well rounded video Micah. I used to mountain bike in my younger days, love to bike and live a life of simplicity and frugality that many of my friends seem to think extreme. I rode my mountain bike 4 miles to college in Michigan winters for years. 20 years ago I started finding my bike too painful and myself too unstable to ride it anymore. I switched to a Sun recumbent and could enjoy riding 20 miles again. but, I wanted an e-bike even before e-bikes were cool. Lately I can't seem to balance on my 'bent anymore (it's a different kind of balance than an upright). I have been drooling over the Rad bikes, but afraid to spend the money when I'm not sure I could ride upright again. Can't afford the Rad trike. And I want to take my grandkids with me so I need something that can haul a load. When the Lectric popped up on pre-order for a price 1K less than the competition (and I got a tax rebate) I jumped on it. It did feel unstable on the sloped side of my crowned street for the first two rides, then I got used to it. My GD loves it so much she rides it without the motor. So I got her a used Schwinn trike and got a used bike trailer for my GS. My dogs come along in the baskets. We are having a great time, and I love that I can go to the PO box, library, stores and friends houses without breaking out my Rav4 (which I only drive 3K miles per year since 2019). Since it folds, with help I can put it in the back of the Rav to go to trails. It weighs about 62 pounds with the aluminum frame (that would be the thing that you could have added to the video). I watched your video just because I want to make sure I made the best choice. I did. Thank you for the confirmation.😄

Front Wheel Drive is dumb on these trikes. Lectric is the only choice here.

I think having a front motor on a trike simplifies construction, which should make it less expensive. However, Lectric has blown that assumption out of the water. I don't know how they managed to do what they did but it just seems to me like a better option now. Not to mention that they also have a differential, which is necessary for rear wheel drive and adds more complication yet they still have a lower price. I think it's a shot across about the others and if it sells well, the other guys will have to drop their prices as well.

That XP Trike is just the best.

Fantastic review like always. I can always trust your reviews Micah, thank you sir!

Thank you sincerely for the comparison. Your insight and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Glad I found your channel. Appreciate the thorough review of the e-bikes. I’ve been contemplating getting one, but with so many out there it’s been a struggle trying to decide. This video helped! Wouldn’t mind winning the solar power book. 😊

Was really happy to find this informative comparison of tricycle E-bikes. Excellent job!

The XP trike is my top pick based on price and what it comes with. I don't mind that they don't offer the cargo package anymore because I found an aftermarket rear basket I like better that can detach and be used as a wagon.

You're doing the right thing by paying it forward for people in need. Also really like your ebike presentations. I bought the Bandit Forerunner for myself partially due to your review, as well as others. Keep up the good works!

Just a heads up if you’d do go with rad bikes track their pricing as there has been some steep discounts lately

Great review. Thank you for being so in-depth.

We have the Lectric 2.0 ebikes and I have a dog trailer for my pooch. We love them and they are a great addition to our RV trips. I also use it around town for smaller grocery runs. I will say that the weight is an issue for old folks. So the slightly lighter weight Rad trike was probably a good choice for your mom. Good vid!

EBikes for Good is a great initiative. Well done on the channel.

I have long been looking for the best e-bike for me. I am short and the trikes seem like the best choice, including for travelling! 🎉when you are at camp, you don't really want to take the vehicle down to the shower house. Thanks for the compare and contrast segment with these bikes!

It's great that you share with people who need it. Thanks for the details!

This review was awesome! You answers all my questions and more! I have been looking at trikes for the past year and not been able to afford one. I need one for my wife who need the stability and comfort of a trike. Thank you for the review and I will stay tuned to your channel. Blessings!

Just bought an ebike for myself, that I love, but I think a trike would give my daughter some mobility with stability given her mobility issues. Thank you for this comparison review!

Great comparison video. I have been looking at Rad bike for a while now. However, since I've decided a trike is in my best interest, my choice has switched to the Lectric XP trike. This video was well done and did solidify my decision and I appreciate your imput. Thanks for donating a bike thru your special group. Mine may be here soon.

Thank you so much for this! I was recently in an accident and have been looking at options for transportation and delivering newspapers. The Lectric looks to be my best choice. Thank you again for your work.

Micah great review and information. Very useful info.

Another great video. This one really speaks to my situation. Thanks.

I would love an e-trike, they seem fun to ride.

This is very good knowledge, thank you for the breakdown ❤️

Very well done! I appreciate the efforts you make. Nice review

Congratulations to whoever wins the ebike. Thank you for all your generosity in the giveaways. Peace!

This is one of my favorite reviews of Lectric bike but rad is simple, great demo!

Awesome review! I appreciate so much comparison information.

Your videos are always informative and entertaining good job

Thankyou for the headsup on these bikes.

Thank you for this! I have been looking at ebikes /trikes recently as I can't get around as good, and still want to get around on my 5 acres, and get around on the easy trails when we go camping! This helps me choose what is better! Esp. since we live on a dirt road, and street tires just won't do!

I am glad I found your video. I have been looking into these trikes for a year now. Trying to figure out which one is the best and now with this video I believe I know. Thank you sir. I got super sick and 2018 nearly died in 2019. They took my driver's license so now I have to try and find an alternate means of travel. And these trikes are something I've been looking at big time...

I have been watching your vids since COVID hit, I wanted to thank you for the content it has saved me from buying garbage or lesser quality products for the family

I love my 20" folder but at 68 y/o my next EV will be a trike. In truth, I should be on one now as my daily commuter. I'm sure I will feel more secure in dense traffic, even with bike lanes. 15 mph is plenty on two wheels, perfect for three. This demonstration has sold me on the Lectric XP. The mid-drive/rear axle configuration is the only way to go. The torque must be applied to both wheels at or behind the CG for even traction. Loading the torque to the steering wheel in a tractor configuration just doesn't work. Thanks for the demonstration. Love to your Mom!

Great review! Very informative. Thank you to your mother for test riding them as well as riding styles and needs can be different depending on one's age and preferences.

Thanks for the Vid! love trikes!

Thanks for the great info. I'm doing my research, but seriously considering the Lectric trike.

Hello from Canada. Thank you for the etrike reviews. The idea of an electric trike seems to be a good match for groceries on a snowy road.

Wish I had watched this before I purchased my ETrike. Excellent review! Thank you.

Love your comparison content on the best E-trikes available. I have been looking and comparing the same E-trikes myself and I like the Lectric E-trike the best. I'm an older gentleman of age 61 wanting to get out and go do things like, exercise while going to the grocery store or to just get out of the house. I take care of my mother who has spinal cancer and who is 82 years old and bed ridden. I have some help with getting her cleaned up but it's been very demanding for me to take care of daily needs for laundry, cooking and other necessities. I'm disabled myself and I feel that I have no place to go Just to have a little break. I live on disability but there isn't enough for me to save $$ money for the Lectric E-trike that I want to buy. Keep on keeping on 👍👍

Love the Info Looking for one for My Dad thanks

Very cool, I never even knew that these existed. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice review. Just got my lectric which fed ex damaged and now waiting on new parts. Love your giveaway. And cheering for your potential winner. And thanks to your Mom for being the test pilot. Cheers and happy biking and keep doing these in depth reviews. They are super helpful.

I am glad you included moms choice. Thanks for all the info

Very informative! Thanks!

I want to let you know, I just purchased the Electric XP and the cargo package came with it. Really excited about getting it and improving my life. Thanks for the comparisons.

Interesting trike designs. After electrifying a trike a few years ago, I like the approach Lectric took. It's far beyond what I did and it appears to take care of the shortcomings of my build. Great comparison👍👍

I wish they had more rear wheel drive trikes

I just ordered a lectric trike yesterday. It comes with the baskets and seat upgrade, lock and mirrors now as a black Friday special. So glad you think so well of it. I wanted the rear driven and not so wide and huge. Cannot wait to get it.

Very cool channel, great format. Super content

One of your best videos, great review :-)

I have the Eunorau, I love it, have made a child's seat in the back for transporting granddaughter to and from school, as well as putting small cage in back for our yorkie. I fell 3x's when I had a 2 wheel ebike, gave it to son in law and then bought my trike. I'm very careful going around corners or sidewalks, so far not even close to tipping over.

This has been a great video. I have the addmoter which is great fun , but after this video ,I think the Rad is best for me. THANKS so much for the great info! I love that the Rad has a parking brake and back peddling brake

I enjoyed all the info given, but I was wondering if you could also included weight information the trikes weight as well as the carrying capacity.

Terrific review. Would love to hear about the new Addmotor 340-T.

great comparison! I just ordered my Lectric eTrike a few days ago and got the package included, but that promotion is ending very soon. Thanks for your detailed analysis.

Wow That's Awesome What A Good Video Thanks For Sharing All That Information I Will Definitely Try To Get One ❤

❤ Really enjoyed your video! I have been searching for a trike and recently saw the lectric xp trike. Hearing about the differences in the trikes is helpful. I am glad the lectric xp rates so well. The economical value is also a major factor. I have mobility issues and have a short stature. Being able to get on the trike could be an issue for me. Being able to get outside and "around" would help with both my physical and mental well being. Thanks for the video! Look forward to other videos.

Great review and a chance to see these together for a size comparison. Am personally torn between the Lectric & Rad.

Thank you for this balanced review. And for the give away. I would have also liked to know the weight that each one if these bike come in at, for most this will also be a deciding factor.

As of 8/8/2023, Lectric still had the basket/upgraded seat as part of the $1499.00 package. I'm really wanting one of these!!!!

This video has really helped me understand more about the trikes. My daughter and my brother both want a trike and asked me to do some research. My daughter has vision problems, and she can't drive a car, my brother has no vehicle for transportation and is disabled also. I'm trying to help them out. Thank you for your the video.

Thanks for the review--have to read about peak wattage

Very good video! Thank you from Dennis Would love to see a print out comparison of power, watts, amps etc.Thanks

Me and my wife are homeless 70 and 62 oh, actually, 71 I am and we're living on one income. We get approximately a 1000 months to live on for the tourist. So we have very little extra money after making are payment. End the rent for a hotel room. Groceries, car insurance, please very little for gas. Tell me and my wife would really appreciate it. And thank you very much, and we enjoy a lot of your shows. You're e truck that you got your dad. A God bless you, you are a child, it. That thinks of their parents.

This looks very neat.

Very good review!

Sounds like an awesome book to have. Thank you.

Great video. Would you recommend any 2 wheel 2seaters?

My wife and are a young 80,, The Electric XP is the only trike that has a floating rear axel. Great for turning (a older person)... I will be buying on for her, soon....Thanks for your video, It helped on the trike I will be buying...(soon)

I am 60 and have an e bike and I fall over (mostly tip over) a lot. This might be a better choice for me. Lol I like how you had your mom tested them. You could tell when she felt more comfortable on them.

Thank you! 😊

Great vid. What thumbnail software do you use?

Great review bought one today Xp 🎉

Thanks for sharing.

Great review, thank you! I wonder if having the pedals further forward compared to the seat makes these (the ones with wide seats) better in longer rides. I am concerned with rubbing on the inside of the legs with seats so wide. Also, the front suspension on the Admotor is a bit excessive, considering the large tires and the fact that it's not the most stable vehicle; maybe I'm very wrong on this one.

Thanks for the very helpful review. If you edit the video, please add how much the individual trikes weight and perhaps some tips on loading them into cars/trucks.

Best comarison vid ever!!! I had a 2 wheeler 'e lectric ' Had an accident- broke my neck ( not on bike lol) my kids sold my bike out from under me I cried 4 a week......been saving for 2.5 years still dont hv enough to get a trike ! For mothers day they included cargo package- if your ppl were gonna purchase wait for free offer of cargo pkg. I'm 70 really need a trike- lost my job during covid my old 2 wheel lectric x p only had 26 miles on it so sad she's gone

great video , thanks

Another excellent video. I heard that the Lectric Trike had a hand throttle instead of a thumb throttle. What do the others have? My apologies if you said it and I missed it.

Not all older riders want slow starts

This was excellent thanks for your mom.

Another great review on the e-trikes. Being 6ft 5 the addmotor looks ideal for me. Just need to find a supplier in the UK.
