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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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. 🤠👍

That XP Trike is just the best.

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.

When it comes to trusted reviews, you're #1! Great job as always, Micah!

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.

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!

You did not mention that the Lectric trike has a rear differential that might add to stability. do you feel it helps at all?

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.😄

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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. 😊

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!

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

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

Great vid. What thumbnail software do you use?

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

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

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 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!

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

Your videos are always informative and entertaining good job

I bought an XP trike for my wife. it works really well and few complaints. The only real down side is the speed. I know it is a small difference but it will only do 13.6 mph not 14 as advertised. We looked at the others including the rad, The Rad we saw had some brake issues so we gave it a hard no.

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

- This dude talked soooooooo much about the potential " tipping " issue . N I C E ! ! -

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

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.

I hope this is ok. I don't need a trike for myself but my dad could use one. He has always been very active and he still walks several miles a week. He just turned 84 and has stopped driving because of health issues. He still goes to the store which is a little over half a mile round trip but is bummed that he can't carry as much as he used to. The trike would definitely allow him to get all he needs from the store and allow him to get back to some of the nearby parks he loves so much. Thank you for your attention.

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.

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.

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 agree with the Rad for the likely target consumer

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.

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.

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.

I wish they had more rear wheel drive trikes

Thankyou for the headsup on these bikes.

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...

Just happened to stumble across your channel earlier after watching the ming hong lol and i gotta say very impressed with your narrative, knowledge and editing even down to the shots very well put together. Subscribed and bell on! Can't wait to see what unveils next!!

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

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 👍👍

I think that it’s time we look at trikes differently. The tipping hazard is just too great for me to put a love one on. Turning on a steep grade or while moving is to muck of a factor. If there was some way to mechanically build a lean into the frame to prevent or greatly decrease the tipping, I wouldn’t hesitate to put my mother on it. Also love the rear wheel drive mechanism.

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.

Very cool channel, great format. Super content

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.

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

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.

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

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

What are your thoughts & comparison on the new Addmotor city tri e-310?

Micah great review and information. Very useful info.

I can’t understand why anyone except for older folk who travel very slowly, would want this type/style of trike. Enter the world of recumbent tadpole trikes, made by Catrike, TerraTrike, ICE and more. Some, like Catrike, made right here in the USA! It is a whole movement and growing each year. They are far more stable, low to the ground, very safe when cornering and tons of fun! Please review these!

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.

Which one is best on steep grades? I live in the mountains and my road is paved all the way to my home but the grade goes from 30 to 60 degrees. Will these pull those grades with out wearing your mother out ( I’m 64). The store is about 2 miles away and I can’t walk that far anymore and I’ve been thinking about an etrike but can find information about if they work on steep grades.

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.

I just subscribed. How do you transport the Addmotor?

Sounds like an awesome book to have. Thank you.

Very informative! Thanks!

You failed to mention that the Lectric XP rear wheel drive has a differential.

Awesome review! I appreciate so much comparison information.

G'day Micah, thanks for another great review. I've got a customer who is disabled and she has an electric trike which she loves because it gives her a degree of independence that she wouldn't otherwise have. By the way, I noticed that some of your videos look like they were filmed in Israel. What is the ebike scene like over there? Cheers.

Thanks for a great review and like many others I am sold on the Lectric XP Trike. My main concern is security. I live in Phoenix AZ and I can envisage one of these being MIA when I return to the car park with my shopping cart from our local Trader Joe's! Has anyone come up with a security device that will deter a third party from lifting it onto their truck and driving off?

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 all your bikes I tried to find place in Florida to do test drive my trike bike tire blew I tried to fix it my disabled hands and I made bigger hole trying to put tire back on after patching tube so I'm so in need of bike . Do u deliver general delivery

Hi. Thanks for the info. I have a couple e-bikes that I bought to go on bike rides with my two Pomeranians. What I did not anticipate was the difficulty of loading and unloading the dogs with the whole balance thing. It’s fine for my home in the suburbs, as there isn’t any traffic, and I have adjusted. I recently purchased a little beach cottage where there are a lot of hills, tight streets, and a lot of traffic. I am afraid if I have to stop suddenly, I may lose my balance. Am considering buying a trike now- for that reason. Although, I do wonder if it will be more difficult to navigate traffic? Which trike do you think is best for the steeper hills? I just started researching and the two that caught my eye are the “FT 1900X by Mobility X” and the “ Citytri by Addmotor”, neither of which were mentioned by you. The 1900X has an option of boosting the motor to 1150 ( if I’m saying that right) and it also only weighs 60 pounds. Do you have any thoughts on these two models? You seem to be quite knowledgeable about the trikes. Any input would be much appreciated. I am a 60 year old widow, but am not feint of heart by any stretch of the imagination. I have ridden motorcycles ( both street and dirt) for most of my life, and am a carpenter by trade. Although, I have to admit, I am starting to feel more cautious as the years are creeping up on me!

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

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info! They seem pretty cool, Would two tires up front and one in rear be more stable?

Wondering if you considered a recumbent or similar type.

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

❤ 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.

I was "serfing" the "web" for a carbon fiber version......these trikes are stable when loaded right? I do like my Vtuvia fold up

Can tricycle use mid drive? Or put hub drive on each wheel?

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

Great review as usual! Did you look at the SixThreeZero Easy Transit? It recently came out, and looks like a Rad clone. One additional comment, the mechanical front disk brakes, have a single moving disk (as opposed to dual disks), and the disk adjustment is blocked by the front hub motor, making it very difficult to adjust for disk wear etc. A distinct disadvantage over the hydraulic brakes.

Great review bought one today Xp 🎉

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.
