I put my little dog in the front basket on my 5star scooter and he is just enough weight to give the front wheel drive traction and pulls so much better it works so well with him in the front I hate riding it without him😊

I am a disabled guy, one handed, issues with balance, bought a regular trike, as I'm too poor to get an electric one and it's awesome. Still it's kinda hard to pedal as it's heavy and grippy - going for trip like 10 kilometers is a bit much (over 6 miles) and that's how far my work is, even though I can enjoy bike lanes for the most of my ride there. I hope to one day be able to afford such trike so I can dump a car for most of my commute, but by car itself was almost as expensive as the better electric trikes, lol. It warms my heart to see you enjoying these trikes. All the best to you two on your retirement!

We liked the look of the bikes, but when we watched your videos it sold us. We learned more from you two then I ever have at a bike store. I used to ride a Kowasaki to work and later I purchased a Cannondale bike with all the bells & whistles. Now at 76 I am unable to get my leg over the high bar, so I stood on a box to mount it like a horse, lol. Come the first very small bridge in our community and I didn't have the strength to pedal over it, nor could I get my feet to the ground fast enough so down I went (fortunately, I was only a little bruised but very embarrassed). We live in a Walkable Community in Bonita Springs, Florida where there are wide pedestrian walkways ( & many bridges) that lead to the community center and all over the neighborhood. Even the streets are safe and easy to navigate as the speed limit is 25mph. When I get my trike, I plan on getting a tall flag and a loud horn so my neighbors have warning that I'm approaching and also a brighter light in back/front so I can see any alligators that may be out for a stroll in the evening..

Just stumbled upon this video and was surprised to see this was all filmed in Yuma! Great stuff!

This is something to consider in a few years. I will be 79 in June and use a step-thru 20" Fat tire bike. My only regret is that e-bikes and scooters were unavailable fifty years ago with the power and battery life. In five to ten years, trikes will likely sell more than e-bikes! My final comment - I love the dog riding at the 7-minute mark.

Love it and a space for Tinker to ride too! Great video, guys! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! xo

Great video! Hope you have an enjoyable riding trip❤❤

Great review. Watching your learning curve was very helpful to understand this machine better.

That’s so cute when Purl was riding it with your little dog in the back!

Nicely done video. Looks like a fun machine.

I agree my etrike is a head turner and a conversational topic every time I’m out on it. I meet so many new people who want to now every detail of power, battery, speed, distance and of course the cost $$$.

Now this is something I'd really be interested in. After watching your video, I'm more convinced than ever that you could use it to make deliveries for Door Dash or other companies and put a few bucks in your pocket. Just right for taking myself down to the vape store or to work.

Thank you, greatly informative video, and cool Trike!✌️

What an awesome video! I just love seeing the both of you out there enjoying life and scooting along on those E-bikes! Technology can be good sometimes, and in this case, it is for sure. Another Segway to this video, would be to show how you can charge those E-bikes off of your solar panels, or your solar generators. Either way, you have the best of both worlds and we can't wait to see more of your adventures. As always, God bless you both and safe travels! Cheers my friends!

I wondered what you were up to! We met you last year in Quartzsite. Glad you are enjoying the trikes. We love our ebikes.

Terrific pacing of the video. It's cool to see the excitement from the people you've met over using an electric trike or bike. Your wife mentioned a problem with making turns. You need to lean into the turn, just shift your weight a bit, be sure to take the turns at a slow speed. There are reverse electric trikes that have the two wheels in the front. Those are more stable to use. There are also tilting reverse electric trikes. Sometimes they also go by tadpole electric trikes. Electric Bike Review can bring you up to speed on all the variations, what to look for, to avoid, prices, honest reviews from a person who sustained a knee injury which lead him to get into electric bikes for their peddle assist and full throttle. If you ever need more cargo room try getting a detachable trailer to hitch to the rear frame or rear of a (e) bike. There are all manner of sizes, shapes, configurations, and even partially to fully enclosed (e) bikes & trikes. Those are velomobiles.

Very informative video. We still are carrying our road bikes that take up the back of our toad. Unfortunately, we have not ridden them since we went on the road. I think we would use them if we stayed in one location for a longer time. Happy Holidays!

Nice job. Answers a lot of questions

Very thorough review.. Weird that I was only made aware of this video on Jan 20th... Hope to see you guys soon.

Hey Bob Pearl, we bought our bikes and it has given us so much more mobility. Great video keep in rolling

The great thing about that big basket in the back is that you can carry extra batteries for extended rides along with a picnic basket filled with Vino and Marinara or a cute little doggie.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year Bob and Pearl

Thank you, this was so helpful!

Hello, just watched your episode with the electric trikes. I do have some suggestions for y’all to enjoy more and feel safer. (1) the lower you can comfortably put the seat the lower your center of gravity is and that helps make them more stable. (2) not sure if that model has different speed/assist settings, but it looks like y’all need to set them as slow as they will go. (3) REMEMBER that it is a 3WHEELER and that means they are about as wide as your hands are, if you don’t take wider turns, you will eventually get one of your back tires off the edge of the sidewalk and down you will go! (4) I know when you were filming her go into the grocery store she just got off and went in, I know you were there with the trike, but these electric bikes are now the most stolen item. If the bike is locked up, if there is anything else that can be stole off of them it will be gone as soon as you turn your head. Good luck, stay safe

When our M-340 arrives, we will be able to carry it as well as my fat tire electric 2-wheeler on our Hollywood hitch mounted on out SUV: Hollwood HR1450Z-R / TRK-ADP3 Hitch Bike Rack (with wide fat tire slots purchased or modified by a welder).

Just a wonderful review on a popular item! Pearl you're a cool aqua-clad grandma heading to the grocery store on your bike, love it for you! Just like a couple other viewers., we were leaning to the right here watching you on the sidewalk....thinking a tire might slip off the walk. A true sign of RV love for our Quartzsite friends! Merry Christmas from TTO. (You were right, it's a favorite Encore for us too!)

Looks like a lot of fun. I love that Tinker can ride as well.

Add a pole with a flag to make it easier for others to see you coming.

You guys will enjoy 😊

great vid ive been looking at an etrike because i want something for winter to ride in the snow ive ridden my regular one before and it was an nightmare felt like i was walking a bumpy tightrope i took a few spills over the season none serious but certainty nerve racking

Thank you. Was just looking into buying a three wheeler.

I have a Sun Electric trike that I have had for over two years. I live in Florida and go all over. I love my trike! Please do a video of the carrier you bought for your car. According to the bike shop where I bought my trike you should always have it on Level 1 because it can hurt your knees with no assist.

Fun video Thx

Spring is coming, time to ride, about to buy one Grandtan🥰

Wow! It is so cool!

I'd love one.

Cool stay safe!

Great review as always. Stay safe. Get a food bell, and a couple of tall flags to be seen better. Also ride with your lights on as people don't pay attention in their vehicles....I would also wear some florescent colors too...safety is important. Slow is good on a trike...it's one reason Gov. Banned the old trike ORV like the Honda trike . Be safe you two!!! Merry Xmas too.

I just got an XP trike from Lectrictrike. I have balance issues which makes me not very safe on a two wheeler. I'm looking forward to being able to ride it. My trike is foldable. My trike does a maximum of 14 MPH. It's primarily a mobility device. Without it, I wouldn't be able to get anywhere without help because I can't drive. The trike you have is a pretty colour. It also can hold more in the rear basket and the top basket.

Hi there. I’m in Melbourne Australia I have the same trike rebranded by Vamos, in mat black finish. Mine has a 500w front wheel motor, 35ah battery with 80+ km range per charge and in Australia we have a law, no registration or licence required for a pedal assisted electric bike with a limited setting set to 25km an hour. I’m 57 years old and chose the trike for better balance too. I’ve had it about 10 weeks now and have done close to 200 km total as I’m medically banned from driving a car until hopefully sometime in the future I’ll get clearance. Meanwhile we sold one of our cars and I walk to work just close to home. I trike everywhere else and for longer distance I trike train trike my way to places. It has allowed me to maintain independence. I bought a kiddie bike trailer to cart my littlest grand-kiddies around locally.

Very good. I’ve been looking at these for a while. I’m disabled and can’t ride a two wheeler anymore. I rode a cheap ebike for a while until I crashed and broke my arm. Cheap ones are not the best option. These AddMotor bikes have some sticker shock, but they’re worth it. The features that cause the price are important for safety and comfort and reliability. I just wish that they could get certified as “durable medical devices” so Medicare would pay for it. My Hoveround is about the same price but useless outside, where I need it. I wish they could do a rear drive, but that would add cost; but the torque steer on the front drive hub looks odd. Trikes take a different approach to riding because of the swaying with the terrain. Once you get that down, it’s all good!! I put an old handicap parking tag on my last ebike and that seemed to help keep me from getting hassled. A safety flag is sure worth it too!! I have a blaze orange flag on my outdoor scooter

I luv my e bike I'm 60 .the best toy I have bought in yrs...

We bought 2 Lectric ebikes for Xmas and love ours. Can't wait to travel with them this year. Looking for a good bike rack for carrying on back of our RV.

Glad they switched to rear wheel drive in the new version. Working on getting mine from a local bike dealer, and hopefully I never have to deal with Addmotor directly, as their BBB rating is F

Great video! Thanks for that. A Grandtan was ordered for me for Christmas, and being 82 and still riding a two-wheel E-bike with some serious balance issues, I'm really looking forward to it. The only problem for me has been, how do I transport it. Then I watched your video and saw at the end that you have a platform just built for a heavy trike! Exactly what I am looking for! Can you tell me the name of it, and where I can go to buy it online? Really appreciate hearing from you about that, and keep the great videos coming! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks for the video you two and Merry Christmas. When is your next trip?

Hi Bob and Pearl, that was a great review. Pearl thank you for wearing that good looking shirt in the video. LOL Pearl, you should had gotten the "Pearl" white one and put flames on it. LOL Now you can do videos similar to mine. LOL Do you think if I got one, I could still call my channel Cowboy Biker Adventures? LOL Hope to see you in February in Yuma. We have to go get margaritas in Mexico. Don

Only electric bikes or trikes allowed in national parks are class one (no throttle, pedal assist up tp 20mph). I got a Gazelle NL c8. Class 1 bike with front and rear racks. $2,500 before sales tax. Upright comfortable Dutch bike. Bosch performance line motor. 10 year warrenty on frame, 1 year on electronics. I'm a 5'11" male, got the XL size. Riding it daily helped me lose 51 pounds, 228 to 167. (Maybe cutting back from a 12 pack a day to a 6 pack per weekend also helped😜)

I see the T bone morphed into 2 bags of groceries lol, it's so hard to go in for just one thing 😆

😢I ride a 26 inch Schwinn Meridian with a 1000Watt/48 Volt-32 AmpHour Lithium-Ion battery. Its a singke speed. I could NEVER have afforded the price of a "Store-Bought" E-Trike after I got injured. I can, now but I prefer my "Home-Built" Trike. I cant walk very good now, and after 3 years in a VA hospital bed THINKING how much I wanted to get OUT, I put it together. I then trained my Service Dog, Button, to pull me.😂 Later, I MOTORIZED it! We now travel all over town with it. She goes 28-30 mph while Mr. Button averages only 6-10 mph! He LOVES to take ME for rides, too. He begins barking as soon as I say to "suit up". He only stops barking once we get moving. He can go for 15 miles with only a few breaks for water and treats. I have no pedal assist. I pedal when i CAN which is not all the time. I use the trike as my Primary form of transportation, too. Most stores here will allow us to ride inside and shop. My E-Trike saved me (AND BUTTON) from being house-bound and dependent on others for a ride, to a mostly independent, tho' handicapped guy and his Service Dog. It also allowed my good old Service Dog, Button to take me for long rides. He now had a REAL JOB, instead of just getting my socks! Or catching mice. It was like being in prison before I learned how to build my trike. Leonard Button is very happy and content, too. Great video by the way. Thank you. Enjoy your retirement!😂❤

"EASY RIDERS" Y'all geaux! Have Fun & Merry Christmas. Cajun

Cool looking bike.

Everyone needs a electric bike. If they will last for about five years. I ordered a HJM Trike that should arrive within ten days hopefully to replace one that got stolen.

Please if you don't mind, where did you get the towing platform for an e-trike? Great video. Thanks for all your hard work

Too cool! Bob, you should leave Tinker at home and you can ride in the basket.

Please post the link to the carrier for your trike. THX. Great video!

With a little tinkering I reckon it would be fun as a golf buggy. Too bad they are not here in Australia.

Great video! A friend of mine has developed a bad hip. I'm thinking about an electric trike as a possible solution to his difficulty walking. Unfortunately his farm is about a mile down a rough gravel road. Perhaps I can find a shop that would allow me to test drive one.

Most fun

I am looking this etrike. Concerned about the size of the Back basket

is the basket can be modified to put a detachable seat on top?

Great video! How do you lock it up when out and about?

I love the video . The it’s great especially the step three and fat tires. I like that it has a back rest. Where is it available to see or purchase. Not good on a gravel road.😊❤ is it available in Illinois. Is there a weight capacity.admotor 340 grand tan e bike

I've had an ebike rsince 2020 . Only time I've had a real problem with the jerking start is when I go to get off if my hand slipson the throttle the motor kicks in and the bike jumps. I turn the motor off before i come to a stop to prevent this. Im almost 70 and can use this around town.on main street i ride on the sidewalk.

Born to be wild ! 😂😂😂😂😂

Loved your video, thanks for sharing. Can you tell me where you purchased the car mount for the trike?

Could you please provide link for the trike cargo carrier. Thank you.

What kind of rear view mirrors are they? The ones I have are constantly getting loose when you go over a few bumps if you have a link that would be great😊😊😊

Great video, one think ebike batteries are not waterproof, protect them against water etc. Happy New Year for 2024 -England.

What did you use in the back basket for your pup?

HANDLEBARS: Does anyone know the make, model of the handlebars? They look like something I need on my eTrike. Thanks.

Is the rear seat comes in free.And my other question is waterproof all the electrical.

Thinking about one of these for my wife, but I prefer torque sensor over cadence sensor. I wonder if they are considering making that an option.

Nice video. Can you give more information on the cargo carrier? I would like to get something to carry my trike and can’t find anything as nice as yours. Thanks

Great video ! Y'all a cute couple and cute doggy 🐕. Where can I get a puppy from ?

I'm 72 and back on road bike and gearing up a mountain bike for rail trails. With a dog trailer. It takes a few months to get fit to bike ..I'll result an ebike till I can no longer do ut. Then I guess I'll do less.

Enjoyed he trike review. Where did you find the trike carrier.

Meh, needs chrome curb feelers and big white wall tires on chrome wheels and fuzzy dice. Lol. Nice video thanks.

Hi guys love your segment on the electric trike. I was wondering how heavy and difficult is it to get the trike lifted on platform?

Mine is the Vamos grand pappy

I have 2 tadpoles and one delta currently. All tadpoles have electric assist, my terratrike gran tourismo has a bosch evo and my sunseeker fat tad cxs has a cyc photon. My sunseeker delta will in all likelihood have a cyc x1 Stealth gen 3 assist system. Speed and ease of use cost money, how fast and easy do you want to go? I live in Ocala Florida and convert trikes for a hobby should anyone need some help with their conversions.

Does the trike have a differential? If not the tires will scrub on curves and wear out real fast. Bald tires in under 500 miles.

Two Desperados

How comfortable is the seat

Where did you buy the steel carrier to fit on the back of your RV or a truck that holds and transports your E-trike? Do you have a website or address for this carrier?

Now you need to compare it to lectric three wheeler.

How long does the battery lasf

After watching you ride on some dirt paths and dusty trails, is there any precautions when cleaning or spraying the e-bike with water to clean it off Folks?

Must be lower to ground.All tires should be smaller and back tires position must be wider axle.After that its become much more safer and easy to ride.

I want to buy it bec the gas was terrible and my work is close by

Congrats! I would recommend reducing the max speed on the motor until you get comfortable because it has powerful torque for new riders.

The trike definitely looks pretty C🙂🙃l

Sir if you ever decide to rv with these please let me know how you transport them

I've rode a bike since I was a small girl I'm 75 now and would love to try one of these free oh please pretty please I live in west virginia.

How much do these bikes cost being senior citizen with not much money wanting to know how much I have to have to buy a bike like that I really like it

Does it have reverse?

Ì ĺove the video, you two are having so much fun 💕 together. I have issues with stability, and I am on medication. I also have issues with my back and a knee replacement. I lost my freedom because I can no longer drive. So, I am looking into getting a tricycle. I am from the Netherlands, originally bicycle 🚲 riding is the main form of transportation there. So I never drove a car until I emigrated 37 years ago. Now I am stuck at home and I don't like it. Thanks for the great video. 👍🏻 I would love to try it out. One question: How big are the tires 20 inch or 24, 26 inch. Also, is it harder to make turns.

Great video, very interested in the carrier you mounted on your RV. Can I get the name of the vendor that sells the cargo carrier? I would like to mount it on my Honda Ridgeline.

Do these bikes work well on grass. Uneven ground? Gravel? Dirt woodland paths?

Nice video but I really wanted to hear the gentleman in the blue jacket who offered his "brutally honest" opinion of it and you talked over him. Was it too critical?
