My riding season is about to begin. I have lots of PTO so I like to take every Wednesday off during the summer between Memorial and Labor Day. Perfect day of the week to ride, weather permitting. Less people on the trails compared to the weekend. As for the 2024 version of the trike, I've been tempted, but I decided I like the simplicity of my earlier model. That rear motor/differential combo adds complexity from a maintenance/durability standpoint. And you are right, compared to the 2023 model, weight is taken off the front and added to the rear, which is biased already due to the rider and semi-recumbent design. The front wheel could plow often. It's curious there aren't any vids or reviews on it yet, even from Addmotor. If I get another, I think I'll go for the Soletri M366x. It's rear dive too, but with it's traditional geometry, you're sitting closer to the front wheel to give it more grip. I love that banana seat too. It's long enough for a passenger but would allow my fat ass plenty of room.😂

Yeah, I haven't found any videos on the new trike either so I am curious on how it handles it.

Imagine getting the new one and transferring the front wheel from the old for all wheel drive. Could possibly transfer controller, display, and battery from old trike, for a dual setup. Wonder how they would pair up? The front uses a cadence sensor and the new trike uses a torque sensor. Interesting idea. Wish I knew someone good with electronics.

And can i change the seat out? Great video's keep it up. Thanks Will L
@threewheelingwithgene42542 ай бұрын
Well I like the new version. I've had one person that watches my video complain about the new one and electronics issue, but only one bike out of several thousand I'm sure is a pretty good average. If I was to buy one right now, I would definitely buy the new version with the motor beam in the back. The potential of tippage is far less. It's easier to control then the one I have. Even though mine is very easy to ride, I think the new ones would be a much better bike. It gets more range 85 mi mine only does 50 at best. The most I've gotten out of it is 35 so I would definitely go with the new model even though they are expensive. They are very much so worth it and I have not tried to change the seat. I have not seen any other seats like that and the one that comes with it is very comfortable and easy to adjust, but when you buy it they will ask you your height and weight and adjust the bike properly for you. When it arrives everything will be adjusted and all you will have to do is put the front tire on. Put the basket on the back and that's about it. Everything else was together when it showed up when they shipped it to me. Oh the handlebars I had to put the handlebars on

Yeah that's why when I first got mine I went to the school yard closest to me and rode around on the playground and such. There was plenty of places for me to kind of take it easy in a wide open space and got used to how it would feel tipping so I would kind of wiggle it and kind of get used to how it feels as the wheels come up, but it's something you have to get used to as far as body positioned. You just got to make sure you do not have your back up against the rest. When you're doing a turn you have got to be up on your butt cheeks so that the bike can move underneath you and don't hold on to the handlebars too tight. You will have to kind of get used to the feeling with the handlebars as you go through turns. But if you practice in a nice big wide open space, you will get used to it. It's pretty quick learning

Hi gene, this is Janette. I’ve been watching your videos because I am seriously considering getting the 360 or the new one coming out with the two wheels in front. I’m really divided between the two. Do you think you could put a basket in the front of your bike I have a little pop that I want to take with me and I love the basket in the back but if I could have her in front, I’d much rather that what do you think?
@threewheelingwithgene42542 ай бұрын
A front basket could be mounted on the 360 and the new 360s are rear wheel motored instead of front wheel motor and they get far better range than mine and they don't tip like a lot of the other three wheelers do. It's got the transmission that makes the wheels rotate the right way to keep the wheels on the ground. So it's easier to maneuver in the turns. I have not seen the one with two wheels on the front so I don't know about that one. But I sure like my 360 it's really comfortable to ride and I got used to riding it real fast

I enjoyed seeing this video. I thought that I was going to see more of the technical aspects of the trike but the photos did give me an indication of the structure used. I like the Pyramidal effect of the structure, using four triangles which give strength with lightness. I totally agree with the change of tyres and I found the same issue riding my home made trike. I am now an old man , five years over four score, but still go around and make modification on existing bicycles. My welding is not as good as it used to be. I was a little concer3ened about this gentleman Gene, who declared that he likes to go fast and he goes on two wheels around corners, advising us to be careful, I do not think that leaning over on two wheels will give me a heart attack but I make it a policy not to drive in a manner that I need to lean out on two wheels. At my old age I am in no hurry to go anywhere. I am sorry about Gene's Heart attack, and am glad that he is doing well riding as he does, All the best and ride well, just do not bother about the odometer resetting itself, in life we should make it a policy to travel as far as our fuel would get us, and nothing will reset our old age to a lower figure.

@@threewheelingwithgene4254 - 25% on a $3000 trike is an extra $750. That's a lot to me.
My riding season is about to begin. I have lots of PTO so I like to take every Wednesday off during the summer between Memorial and Labor Day. Perfect day of the week to ride, weather permitting. Less people on the trails compared to the weekend. As for the 2024 version of the trike, I've been tempted, but I decided I like the simplicity of my earlier model. That rear motor/differential combo adds complexity from a maintenance/durability standpoint. And you are right, compared to the 2023 model, weight is taken off the front and added to the rear, which is biased already due to the rider and semi-recumbent design. The front wheel could plow often. It's curious there aren't any vids or reviews on it yet, even from Addmotor. If I get another, I think I'll go for the Soletri M366x. It's rear dive too, but with it's traditional geometry, you're sitting closer to the front wheel to give it more grip. I love that banana seat too. It's long enough for a passenger but would allow my fat ass plenty of room.😂
Yeah, I haven't found any videos on the new trike either so I am curious on how it handles it. Does tempt me to go ahead and buy the new version just to see how it goes so I can add it to my videos so I can do a comparison between the old and the new, but I'm not so sure I'm ready to throw another big expense that way quite yet
Imagine getting the new one and transferring the front wheel from the old for all wheel drive. Could possibly transfer controller, display, and battery from old trike, for a dual setup. Wonder how they would pair up? The front uses a cadence sensor and the new trike uses a torque sensor. Interesting idea. Wish I knew someone good with electronics.
I took a turn on two wheels the other day going into the KwikTrip, but I remembered your video on two wheel riding and just kept calm and carried on. No problem.
Thanks for taking us along on your ride. It looks like it was a great day for it.
Easiest way , is not to mess with wires and nobs. There is a silver dile on the brake caliber that adjust the brake pads ,a lot easier to tune brakes with, you turn it clockwise to bring the pads closer to the disk , use 5 size Allen wrench turn clockwise to bring pad closer counterclockwise to pull brake pads further away.
Good to see the night rides again. You're right, lighting up your bike makes all the difference.
I ordered another Ebike but I had just over two thousand miles on mine before it got stolen.
Well glad you've ordered yourself. A new one suck. Someone stole your old one but that gives you a goal. I need to put 2,000 miles on this new one
can you attach a trailer to it?
I do not know. There is definitely plenty of places to mount one
Hi Gene, Will here: I've been following your channel for a few months now and thought i would subscribe , I like your video's and appreciate what you've been thru with "Health Issues" similar to mine and getting this Addmotor 360 seems to really work for you so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the newest version of the same trike and I'd like to get your input on the new one Verses the older model like you have "The older version is for sale on EBay" i know you love the one you have and that it hasn't had too many issues that's a good thing... so I'm kinda torn between the two have you heard anything about the new one? And can i change the seat out? Great video's keep it up. Thanks Will L
Well I like the new version. I've had one person that watches my video complain about the new one and electronics issue, but only one bike out of several thousand I'm sure is a pretty good average. If I was to buy one right now, I would definitely buy the new version with the motor beam in the back. The potential of tippage is far less. It's easier to control then the one I have. Even though mine is very easy to ride, I think the new ones would be a much better bike. It gets more range 85 mi mine only does 50 at best. The most I've gotten out of it is 35 so I would definitely go with the new model even though they are expensive. They are very much so worth it and I have not tried to change the seat. I have not seen any other seats like that and the one that comes with it is very comfortable and easy to adjust, but when you buy it they will ask you your height and weight and adjust the bike properly for you. When it arrives everything will be adjusted and all you will have to do is put the front tire on. Put the basket on the back and that's about it. Everything else was together when it showed up when they shipped it to me. Oh the handlebars I had to put the handlebars on
@@threewheelingwithgene4254 Thanks Gene, You've helped me make up my silly mind. the new one it is. Thanks Will L
Oh yes, I also forgot I am extremely leery about tipping and I notice when you ride you tip on purpose it looks like I don’t wanna tip at all. Do you think that’s possible?
Yeah that's why when I first got mine I went to the school yard closest to me and rode around on the playground and such. There was plenty of places for me to kind of take it easy in a wide open space and got used to how it would feel tipping so I would kind of wiggle it and kind of get used to how it feels as the wheels come up, but it's something you have to get used to as far as body positioned. You just got to make sure you do not have your back up against the rest. When you're doing a turn you have got to be up on your butt cheeks so that the bike can move underneath you and don't hold on to the handlebars too tight. You will have to kind of get used to the feeling with the handlebars as you go through turns. But if you practice in a nice big wide open space, you will get used to it. It's pretty quick learning
Hi gene, this is Janette. I’ve been watching your videos because I am seriously considering getting the 360 or the new one coming out with the two wheels in front. I’m really divided between the two. Do you think you could put a basket in the front of your bike I have a little pop that I want to take with me and I love the basket in the back but if I could have her in front, I’d much rather that what do you think?
A front basket could be mounted on the 360 and the new 360s are rear wheel motored instead of front wheel motor and they get far better range than mine and they don't tip like a lot of the other three wheelers do. It's got the transmission that makes the wheels rotate the right way to keep the wheels on the ground. So it's easier to maneuver in the turns. I have not seen the one with two wheels on the front so I don't know about that one. But I sure like my 360 it's really comfortable to ride and I got used to riding it real fast
Three whee👍lers are fun.
Beautiful scenery for a bike ride!
I texted with ADD motor. They told me 85 without pedaling. They are stinking Liars
Well if you keep it down on level one you may get 85 mi out of it without peddling. But if you go up on any of the higher levels, I don't think you'll get the same mileage. I would say probably a minimum of 50 on the top level and it will do 20 plus miles an hour on the top level of power
I have the new one. Rear-wheel drive. I only get 12 miles without pedaling. I bought a new battery and it's the same rotten results. Save your money. Keep the one you have
I would not give up on the bike. That sounds like an electrical problem that your local bike shop might be able to take care of for you. You can be mad at addmotor for not resolving your issue but don't give up on the bike or I guess I should say trike because it is a lot of fun and it sounds like you are very frustrated with them. So check with your local bike shop and see if they can help
How far can you get if you don't paddle at all
Without pedaling at all the most I've gotten out of it was 30 mi but the new models are supposed to get 85 mi on a full charge with pedaling so I would assume at least 50 mi without pedaling with the new models and the new models also have the motor in the rear instead of up on the front tire like mine is. So the stability and control is much better with the new models over this one
What kind of range are you getting with that bike
It is an old model not as good as the new ones. So I only get 50 mi on a charge. The new ones get 80
Just subscribed and I’m sure this is the trike I’m getting..had open heart surgery about 2 years ago and I need to do this…thank you for sharing your videos, they look interesting
And if you make a purchase now you get the newer version than I have the new ones. Have the motors in the back instead of on the front tire and they turn so much better than mine does. The new ones are so much better than this One is they got so much more range. They handle better. You'll be really happy with one of these if you purchase it
Don’t mess with the twist knobs leave them at factory setting and just loosen the nut and tighten the wire on each brake. Simple to do
I enjoyed seeing this video. I thought that I was going to see more of the technical aspects of the trike but the photos did give me an indication of the structure used. I like the Pyramidal effect of the structure, using four triangles which give strength with lightness. I totally agree with the change of tyres and I found the same issue riding my home made trike. I am now an old man , five years over four score, but still go around and make modification on existing bicycles. My welding is not as good as it used to be. I was a little concer3ened about this gentleman Gene, who declared that he likes to go fast and he goes on two wheels around corners, advising us to be careful, I do not think that leaning over on two wheels will give me a heart attack but I make it a policy not to drive in a manner that I need to lean out on two wheels. At my old age I am in no hurry to go anywhere. I am sorry about Gene's Heart attack, and am glad that he is doing well riding as he does, All the best and ride well, just do not bother about the odometer resetting itself, in life we should make it a policy to travel as far as our fuel would get us, and nothing will reset our old age to a lower figure.
Did the liners change the ride any? Some people say it improves it.
The ride did improve but I had also purchased new tires at the same time as the liners. So I don't know for sure if I could be a good judge on rather than liners changed the ride because I changed the tires and it does ride really smooth and it gave it a little more cushion to the tire on low tire pressure
Thanks for the video/review
Glad that Addmotor is working out great for you. Looks like a great trike. I'm still saving up to get a Letric trike for my wife and myself. We can get two for just over 3ooo plus tax. Really enjoy watching your rides when we have time.
Yes, those ones are definitely much more affordable and they look like they are pretty good quality too. And a lot of people out here on the bike path are riding them out here and they look like a really nice bike. From what I have seen with the people that I have talked to out here and I could not afford to buy this bike or trike? I guess without using the affirm app, otherwise I'd still be saving
Flirt much? 😂
Why were you changing the wheel? I didn’t watch the first one.
With the motor being in the front it goes through quite a few tires. I've got a little over 3000 mi on it right now and I've gone through all three of the knobby tires that it came with and I am now on the 4th tire up front but it is a moped tire and it is not wearing like the other three did. It's going to take a lot longer for this tire to wear out
@@threewheelingwithgene4254 Ah, gotcha. Thanks. The video was helpful!
Nodifferential rear axle then not interested must be the basic piece of equipment
The new models are rear diff 750 watt. I have not had the opportunity to ride one of the new ones but the new style see to be a really nice ride. According to the people that have talked to me about it, they have told me they like it a whole lot
We had snow too, but I finally got a ride in January 25th. I’ve enjoyed all your M-360 videos! Where do you live? I hope you get out for a ride soon!
I live in Denver, Colorado and it looks like I might be able to get out tomorrow. We are finally having some nice weather so I'm going to try to get another video out tomorrow. Glad to hear you are enjoying your trike
I bought one I did a lot of research and electric trike bikes I’m 70 years old will be 71 pretty soon and I love my bike it is everything a person would want to have. Thank you.
But did I tell you I ordered the M-360 ll ? I like the style of it
I really like the new style with the motor being in the back instead of on the front tire
Nice videos but you don’t show the bike much.
I ordered one yesterday. The motor is in the back. And it has parking brake they say.. how long does it take to be delivered?
Mine took about a month after I ordered it. Have you gotten your email from ad motor yet? Asking your height and weight so they can pre-adjust your bike for you
And the newer models are so much nicer than the one I have. You are going to like it a lot but when you first get it I would suggest taking it easy and finding a school close by to practice riding around at so you get used to the bike
3° here in central Illinois. My kitchen sink pipes finally thawed out after 36 hours 👏🏻 Can’t wait to see more of your adventures. I have the same tricycle you have.
We're hitting a high of 1F today in Wisconsin so ya, cold storage.
Wow 17-18 miles and you do that 3 times before you have to charge it. That’s about 54 miles on one charge. That’s very good 👍🏾 got to get one.
And right now it is sitting in storage. I have not ridden it since Thanksgiving so I gave my battery a full charge and everything is stored until the weather gets nice. So hopefully the battery will still hold a good charge according to the instructions, if I go 90 days I'm supposed to put my battery back on the charger to keep the battery up but I'm thinking I'm going to get it out before then maybe. But I will let you guys know how well the battery is doing after 2 or 3 months of storage
