I would love to see these replace golf carts for elderly people in mobile home parks, etc. Many people here have them; they are heavy and bulky to store, the batteries cost a fortune and their range is probably less than a half mile before they need to be plugged into big heavy rechargers again. They carry 2 people but otherwise are almost useless. This makes so much more sense for going down to the clubhouse, or going a mile or two for groceries.

Better than I expected

What I've found is that the electric trike allows for the most amount of redundancies. You could pack spare wheels, spare batteries, spare motors... In terms of being caught "out there" with a battery capacity problem or flat... I've always made my trip without making a emergency phone call with an etrike.

Well done. Thank you!

Bravo!!! Thanks Hubby and I have been riding electric Trikes for the last 6 years putting about 1000 miles per year. We have been using the Cozy Trikes and they are so much fun to play with on the Bike trail. We have replace the the lead acid batteries with lithium. The trikes are constantly being tweaked and they would not be good unless my husband was handy with repairs. I like being able to go up to 18mph on the straightways. Oh and my husband likes to be a dare devil putting the trikes on two wheels but it eventually sheared the frame and we had to get the frame rewelded so he is no longer the dare devil! Thanks for showing us some options to consider when we upgrade!!!

Neat! Sounds like you two have a blast out there riding. Thanks for your tips about how riding on two wheels eventually damaged the frame... I'll keep that in mind :O

Yeah... but don't worry about it too much as that is was after a year of riding. So maybe just play the dare devil every once and a while! And we do a small amount off road biking so that could have weaken his frame as well. Big thanks for all you do!

The trike in this vid is 500watts. How much power and battery do you like? I had a 1500 watt scooter with 48 volts. That was a lot of power. I think a trike needs 100watts or more.

*I love tricycles😍*

looks like I will be a customer for the SUN traditional electric. Ticks all of the boxes for me at 70, I still want to get out and about.

Some shock-absorbing features in the fame are a feature I look for.

Very useful safe & practical design. Good value for the price.

I agree, health is interesting in that you need to exercise to stay fit and healthy but if doing so increases the risk of getting hurt you may back off... so mitigating risks with something like a trike is a great option for some people :D

good winter bike....will also slide but not fall

there really excellent trikes

Hi. Can I ask if you have ever reviewed a cozy trike (Wallmart) and how the sun would compare? Also can you tell me will the sun trike work with someone who is 300 lbs? Personally I like the sun but my wife kaaps talking about the Cozy Trike. Thank you

Awesome trike but no back support? Thank you for your review 👍🏽😊

I know this is an old video but, I would like to know how an E trike manages snow and ice. I mean if I fully intend to power my way through to the hardware store. I went down on my Sadona DX for the last time. lol

Can the ebike kit be add to a 24in sun trike with the 7 speed

You don't get to review many traditional delta trikes so you probably don't know but a bit of useful information when deciding on a trike is if they are 1 wheel drive, 2 wheel drive without a differential (or solid axle, this is what the SUN Traditional seems to be) or 2 wheel drive with a differential. Each set up handles quite differently.

When powered, Sun is a 1 wheel drive. When pedaled, - 2 wheel drive. When you pedal and squeeze the throttle - 3 wheel drive.

How would u turn it on and off with a regular battery is it just the switch on the controller

I have balance problems and have been considering a trike. Thanks for your review.

for a professionally designed and manufactured trike should have the battery tucked in behind the seat post or under the basket. I think the single speed gearing is totally inadequate should be at least three if not 7-speed.

Where are the rear fenders? Needed here in Oregon.

Hi, I would like to know what is the site to purchase this kit for the 24” trike. I have a trike I want to convert thanks

YOU didn't mention the drag this will produce when not using electricity.

Much better re wheel motor type or front wheel motor type?

NEEDS CAPTIONS!! Turn on KZread's auto-generated captioning....it works well enough for those who are hard of hearing and need the extra feedback in addition to the soundtrack.

How do u adjust the settings on the display

Will this fit in a regular sized front door? How much is it ?

How do you secure it , when yok u park it ?

Do they make the kit in a 26 inch wheel

Thank you for making these informative videos. I am one of those "mobility impaired" individuals to which you refer... and I have not ridden a bke in 30 years! However, since my mobility is getting more limited, we are finding it difficult to find outlets for "exercise" - I thought a trike would work (for balance and allowing me to get my legs/feet up onto the pedals. But I have zero energy so the elecrtic assist is basiccally a MUST. My question is: after testing SO MANY electric trikes - whch would you recommend for the lemitations I just mentioned? My electirc scooter is front wheel and I always spin-out and find it difficult to brake (hand weakness) from such a high speed. So I will not be going FAST, but I need something easy to "pedal" (or at least get my legs moving a bit) AND easy to stop. (feather light brake?) *Also my scooter is cheaap Chinesse brand with NO parking brake. For now, it seems like this SUN trike might be best in it's price-range... but there really are sssoooo many to choose from. Please help? : - )

@AlM-sn3yr

You can forcefully limit max speed to feel safer. It is a single-speed, so if you want more choice to move your legs, they can add 3-speed hub for extra cost. It has a parking brake - front brake locks if pressed all the way. With 3-speed hub and aluminum locking battery (recommended), and shipping, it will be $2,000.

How big is the biggest motor for this Trike that you would sell me. Because of my size,I wouldn't even consider anything less than a 750w .I can't be having to walk it up a hill.

What do they use for brakes ?

I live in Malta Europe and it has a while now asking from where I could purchase an electrick Tryk like the red one but to no availe. Can someone give some instructions plse ? Thanks in unticipation..

Do they have the same trick with 20 inch tires?

I would love to see a 20" inch trickle ?, How much are they?

is there anybody who is generous and kind enough to give me one of those bikes(bigger tires)that i can use for travelling.I am disabled diabetic and badly need a bike like that.It will greatly appreciated.

I cant find this model anywhere.

Is there a seat that has higher back support

It's a rough ride, especially for older people who have bad backs and hip's. No shock's to cushion the ride. No padding on the seat, not even a center seat shock which could help a lot in smoothing out the road.

Are the battery and motor water resistant? you never know when you'l get caught in the rain.

Gears are a good thing, even if only 3,

I have the Sun trike, Can I purchase the E/ pack separate?

Exceptionally detailed and fantastic review but I would have liked to hear a little bit more detailed review about the comfort of the seat for long distance rides

How many links are in the chain?

I would have liked to see a 20" bike?

Bonjour où peut on trouver ce tricycle ? Merci de bien vouloir me répondre.

Ciao, quanto costa in valuta euro? Grazie mille.

If you want cheep, then there is a 26" version of the Schwinn Meridian, they normally retail for $300 the only 26" cheaper that I know of is by Kent (~$220-$230 on Walmart.com), but their build quality seems hit and miss with the 7 speed Kent Monterey seeming to be of generally better quality then the Alameda. Given the reviews on Walmart.com, who can say how much of that is poor handling and assembly on their part though.

I like to order one of this, please help me thank you

When you do these reviews of trikes can you please tell us the REAR wheelbase WIDTH? Many of us are living in apts and need to know that specific piece of information to know if they will fit through the apt doorway and fit into elevators. Not everyone lives in a house or has a garage to put these things. Very few times does this ever get mentioned and it is vital to know this. PLZ do this for every 3 wheeler you review.

Very neat concept, but just a single v-brake is a little....well, little. You can go quite fast with those on a longer descent, and at least a hydraulic rim brake would be what I'd need to feel safe.

Electric Bike Technologies and how would one customize.

The trike is very good but it is not much popular in india and availability is not there.so may be we would have to wait for a long time to ride it.

The "Crown" on most streets causes rider od traditional trike to be forced to lean over toward thr crown. Uncomfortable for even short rides. What's needed is a radial bearing in the frame to allow the rider to sit upright while the rear wheels conform to the angle of the rod.

There is a critical reference of thighs hitting seat as you pedal..true?

My mom would love that.

I was thinking the same thing... my Mom still loves her regular bike but she's getting a bit older and something like this could be a lot of fun and movement before you get to mobility machines that are slow and heavy. Recently I've seen a lot of this sort of thing, sometimes converted and sometimes unpowered, there's always some gear in the back and a smile on the riders face, trikes rock :D

Initial response: Got this bike for my friend. kzread.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ Delivery was fast. And the friend was surprised I would order it when she had never suggested she wanted anything but the pedal bike she had. She has now ridden the bike two times and gives it a 10 and says it is very fun. We have some hills in our town that are very challenging to climb on a typical bike. But tonight she went up with the pedal assist and loved it. I was way behind on my standard bike, huffing and puffing. Now she is no longer lagging behind me. This thing is powerful enough that a person could go around town without any pedaling. She likes to get some exercise so on flat ground she hits the red button to turn off pedal assist and only uses the twist throttle when she's in a tough spot. The bike looks good. It is really a very nice bike for the friend. Now for me, when I get an electric bike, I'm twice her size and will be looking for a bigger watt motor and battery. But this one is just wonderful for my friend. I am happy with this purchase.
