Nice video, I really like that cherry red paint, but if you really want a state of the art trike, go check out the A8 Trike from AiPAS New York. It has a Ananda 500W Mid-drive motor that has 130 nm of torque and dual independent rear axel for hair pin turning. I have one and it’s amazing! 😃
I put a rickshaw 48v750watt midship with a frame alteration cutting bathe back frame off upper section and refashioned to hold the motor it does up to 35
Small correction: the button under the throttle is to engage and disengage the throttle for safety reasons. It has no other effect. If you want to disengage the motor you change the mode to peddle assist 0. I agree that it would have been perfect had Addmotor included a Shimano gear shifter.
I have a few questions. Is this a mid drive trike? Does a rear motor trike perform as well as a mid drive? I’m not interested in power as I am interested in climbing hills and having a longer run battery with more power.
No this a rear drive trike with a rear differential. It's got a 750w motor so it has plenty of power and torque to go up hills. Max speed is 23-25mph which is insane for a trike. So you should be good.
@@HobartsReviews Sure thing. And yeah, that's a reason this one has taken the top of my list of possible Etrikes, that and the 90+ mile rang,e which I know is under ideal circumstances, but if it gets me to some places I want to go, and it seems it will, then it'll work.
No I always cut it in half for real world. It all depends on your weight, pedal assist mode, speed etc. But I would say 45-50 miles using mostly throttle.
You didn’t mention customer service. Next to having a quality and hopefully trouble free trike, comes CS. If CS is poor, then that trike isn’t worth a hill of beans. I’ve done some research and so far Lectric bikes has the best CS. I would feel reasonably safe purchasing their XP trike knowing I will be looked after down the road.
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I don't know about the customer service because I have not used their customer service. I interact with a representative from their company in charge of influencers so I wouldn't know.
This is literally perfect for somebody with mobility issues! It allows you to still get out and experience electric bikes without having to balance. The controls are easy to use. The throttle is integrated into the grip so you just turn your hand like a motorcycle. You have hand brakes like a bicycle. You have a few different speed modes so you can leave it on speed mode one and go slow. You don't even have to pedal. You can ride with just the throttle.
You can't lower the height of them, but you can adjust them backwards towards you. So theoretically you would lower the handlebars. But there is no adjustment in the neck To lower the height. Just rotate them back towards you to lower.
@@marcfruchtman9473 While it may be more unnatural at first, this should technically be more ergonomic for you over time to sit with the tops of your arms, more relaxed and your forearms forward. Rather than reaching down. It's definitely more of a cruiser style than what typical bicyclers will be used to.
I see one glaring issue with this trike. The rear wheel base is way to narrow for 22mph. Looks way to narrow for 10 mph. Widen that by about a foot or more and you might have something there.
Done to get thru doors. good selling point. Poor handling point Overpowered, high CG . look at the vid as he tries to take a turn ~ 6:20 Seat that makes the lean tough. Imagine Gramps getting. thru that turn, or hefting the 86 lb trike around Think sidecar rig for handling, the very popular side car rig.
I have a 420 chain with 20 tooth gear on the motor and a bit bigger on the freewheel that’s why I’m going to sling my body low better aerodynamic and less pedal
It's really nice! The step over height is only 16 inches. So very low and easy to step over. With the parking brake on you can get all the way on the bike without it even moving.
Is this you Hobart? I bought this trike after watching your video. Biggest mistake I've made in years. now I'm going back and forth with addmotor, been a month and no closer to getting this trike fixed today than a month ago. Thanks Hobart.
Haha... No actually. It goes 24mph and has a backrest. It's fast and comfortable! plus I take out the trash and recycling, runs the dog and make rums to the store... at 24mph.. haha. Addmotor makes E-Trike for the younger generation.
