1000WATT Electric Fat Tad Crawlers with 14-speed ROHLOFF speed hub - Take the road less traveled

[@leshaneputman]

These trikes are brilliant I have a son with autism spectrum which also comes with pretty bad anxiety so being adventurous is not really his forte and his balance is kinda off I feel like one ride on a trike would help him with his anxiety and would build up his confidence it's time to start saving bread 🙏🏽

[@kaibarnwall6686]

Kate you are awesome and beautiful , I love your explaining a lot of the amazing things ya'all are up to at Utah Trikes . And Lewis thank you so much for all you tell us about everything. I am riding my first ever trike and your explanations on it, an ICE Adventure HD have helped me to appreciate it more. It is a demo from 2018 w Shimano steps, full suspension, Alfine 8 speed hub. Loving it

[@eugene_crane_uvu]

Did Kate ever get back to you?

[@velvetvideo]

I love that y'all seem to really enjoy what you do. That's awesome. Great products. I wish you lots of success.

[@kaibarnwall6686]

I just got my first ever trike exactly 3 months ago today. First time I heard of Utah Trikes was Letgo ad with picture and description of a trike having been built by you. It had been sold and it was fun hearing about you anyway...

[@jimburkhalter3133]

Wow Mark, two trikes for your birthday! Happy Birthday! You must have really been good to get two? UT, another great video, keep them coming. And, how does Kate know we do or don't watch the bloopers at the end? Every good movie has a cartoon at the end, and that's what I look forward to. Great bloopers!

[@velvetvideo]

I really feel like these trikes/quads should be more accomodated, along with pedestrians in our cities, and we should move away from polluting, dangerous, expensive, noisy vehicles. I think this is the future of travel, especially in urban areas. There's a video about "Stroads" by Not Just Bikes that I think everyone should watch that addresses a lot of shortcomings of our society and bike culture.

[@-MacCat-]

" .... it comes down, clears up, comes 😳 back down, clears up .... " Yes, it's called *weather* 😉 Nice trikes, by the way.

[@clayguinard3651]

How cool is that 82 years old and he's getting a trike... Happy birthday Mark

[@nobodyisprfct]

I have a bad back and my right leg is now shorter than my left. I miss the fun I had mountain biking in my 20's. I have been looking at possible alternatives that will allow me to enjoy riding without the fear of increasing pain. RUNGU is another company I have been looking into because I enjoy rock hounding. I keep coming back to this back support type E-bike. I do wonder why the pinion gear box isn't used. I also recently learned about this guy who has been developing regen tech for E-Bikes. Can't remember his KZbin channel at the moment. Thanks for creating this type of bike.

[@mddevice2108]

Wow, Lewis has the clear, piercing stare of a cult leader; id drink whatever koolaid he's selling .

[@stephencollie9449]

I live for the bloopers!!!

Me too!!!! - Kait

[@joeows6537]

A Rohloff with a Schlumph is the way to go.... it gives the gearing needed to not have to "Beat Eggs" at +35 mph when combined with a Grin All Axle on a front wheel will give you speed, distance and Power. (72 volts 50 amps nominal, 90 amps peak) A set of after market wings... and it will FLY!... need added power, a single Grin controller will work with a single motor or a double motor... who does not want to fly down a 2 track at +50 mph.... an added Fairing will increase range and speed.

[@CAOHnutrition]

Very cool idea! I was thinking of a trike with two front wheels and one fatter rear but a more conventional seat or your four wheel (just saw that video) - like a quad! But a utility version for hauling and towing around the ranch. Make it - make money - live free! xoxo

[@marshalbliemeister9922]

I rode the Auzb Fat trike for 10.000 km across Europe and Africa. And a Auzb tricon 20" for 30.000 km across Europe and Asia. No motor on both. I will soon start a new long trip across Europe and Asia on a Azub Fat again

[@thomashughes_teh]

Predicting range is a bit like trying to predict how many calories you will burn on a ride.

[@federicomaisch6812]

Great video

[@bonilla2022]

Rockin' the trikes and quads! :-)

[@peterbilling6171]

Luv the fatty oh and your pretty good Kate With your presentation👍

[@thomashughes_teh]

I got to test ride a bike mechanic's personal Rolhoff with 38,000 miles on it. It still worked smoother than a brand new derailleur.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

German engineering at its finest!

[@portnuefflyer]

They get smoother as they get broken in. Quieter also, though they are never really noisy. The ONLY drawback to them (I have two on e bikes) is their price, get past that and it's all good!

[@FeralRabbit]

I'm here for Kate. Trikes are cool too.

[@brokenmedic9133]

I Have a partial spinal cord injury from back when I was an EMT/Firefighter and have limited use of my left leg... This is tye answer to me getting out and exercising again! These are absolutely amazing and I had No clue these didn't even existed. Now I gotta sell a kidney and buy from YOU. 🇺🇸 Amazing product.

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Npt begrudgiing their living but yup ....they are not giving them away . Still if I had the bank ...

[@velvetvideo]

I'd love to see more comparison videos about trikes vs quads vs bakfiets and cargo bikes...especially with regard to trailers and bicycle rv's for adventure travel and homeless solutions. I know quads can pedal up stairs. Are trikes able to do this?

[@speviefw4471]

Video amazing showtime

[@billsheppard9368]

In a hard turn, how much side-loading can those narrow hubs handle without folding the spokes?

[@williamwiley839]

Question?, would you buy a velomobile or a reg tadool?>

[@robbieroberts7024]

Hi this is Robbie I was wondering if you could put the 14 speed Rohloff and 18 speed Pinion Drive and the 1000 w Bafang and I am handicap I will need the motor on my track is it possible.

[@moma6343]

I want this!!!!

[@bigb0r3]

Riding in wet conditions has to be a MESS without fenders.

[@angrydragonslayer]

[@ozskipper]

I love it, I want it.. But why is the battery at the muddiest part of the bike? Maybe relocate vertically behind the rider? Or am I missing something.

[@billyfolseakabbafolse6555]

I need a EQUAD asap with handicap tri pin controls

[@jayzherka4943]

Have you guys thought about making ones with higher clearance?

[@dr9205]

Nice trikes!! Neat vid. Yeah, I think Noah is a great addition to the awesome team. How about legal restrictions on ebike power? I had heard of a 500 W limit before states kick in licensing requirements, right?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Laws vary so much by state that we recommend getting in touch with your local authorities to find out what restrictions, if any, might be in place.

[@DawnaRo]

Oh my heck! I didn't know such a thing even existed! Do these have to be licensed to ride on the road? I live in the northern part of Utah.. I need to come see these and see if it's something I can use. I've been "grounded" from driving a car but I need to be able to go to town. (3 to 6 miles depending on what part of town I go to).

[@droningon825]

Hi Nice , just wondering if the motors are set up to back charge on down hills or if not maybe are you thinking about adding it?

[@ploppyploppy6554]

Thank you I have leg injuries . How much are these wonderful trikes please ?

[@Stellar001100]

Kinda want to fit a 7000w QS hub motor on one of these Fat Tads.

[@conantdog]

Where's harold 👀✌️

[@severs1966]

The battery seems to be located so as to interfere with the fitting of panniers. Or rather, one pannier

[@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347]

Hi, great channel lots of info for your buyers. I have fibromyalgia & wonder would a recumbent (non elec) put less strain on my knees than a regular bike? I used to love cycling (used to regularly do 70+ mile trail/road trips), had to sell my Cube it wasn't getting used anymore :(

[@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347]

I say my knees, its also neck, lower back, hips, elbows, wrists & fingers but my knees used to hurt the most after a ride.

[@vincedrapes4341]

Are you looking for assembly techs? I wanna work there.

[@daveyJ213]

I've never heard of anyone getting as little as 10 miles on a battery charge. We have a Bafang 750W on my wife's Tricon and have NEVER had a mileage/range issue. I personally rode 60+ miles on that trike (no lie, multiple trips) on a single charge and still had at least 40% battery left. She's never had to go above power level 4, even on our steepest hills. I also have a Shimano e6100 on my Ti Fly X. The battery has never been below half full before recharging, and I have ridden 35+ miles easily. I only use the highest power level on the steepest hills. If you can't do 60 miles on a single charge, you're doing something wrong.

[@billwilhite2190]

Can the rohloff use a coaster brake on a conventional bike? Thanks

[@oct231984]

does the pedal assist on your motors interfere with the throttle?

[@pothine88]

Do you make Fat Tad Crawler for Spinal Cord injury or a person can"t able use their feet to pedal, like me?

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

These look like loads of fun! How “tippy” are these compared to a trike with a single wheel in the front? Thanks!

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

The tadpole trikes (two wheels in front, one in back) are much more stable than the Delta trikes. For us the one wheel in front is much too prone to turning way to sharp and tipping your whole ride over.

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

Utah Trikes , thank you! I fell on the ice last March and got a tibial plateau fracture. I just started weight-bearing last week. I’m a tad paranoid about riding my two wheel e-bike at this point, so I trike or a quad is looking appealing.

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

Utah Trikes , this sounds like what I’d want, so thanks for the video and the reply. I fell on the ice last March and really mangled my knee, and I could not do any weight-bearing until just a couple of weeks ago. I loved my E-bike, but being a senior, I’m now a little paranoid about falling at this point! I would hate to land on this knee after it has healed. I think an E-trike would be the way to go. Those quad bikes look pretty fun, too! 😊

[@glikar1]

Your instincts are right. Tadpoles are unstable at high speeds for sure. You have to be very careful when going faster than 25 to 30. I lowered the COG by changing the shock location and found a considerable improvement in low-speed stability. The axis of rotation on a Tadpole Trike is a line between the rear axle and the front, so if you drop a front wheel off a 6-inch edge, you get thrown off to the side. With the mods I made, plus leaning against the turn or sudden wheel drop, it's now pretty stable on any trail.

[@aw8079]

Does the rear wheel lose traction or lift when braking downhill? How does it turn while braking downhill?

[@stephencollie9449]

Hey Lewis for us that live in The Great White North . Is the control display bilingual in that it shows kilometers per hour.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Absolutely! You can set it to KMH through the menu!

[@ricknash3055]

Thanks for the entertaining videos. Any Canadian distributors?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Not that I know of. But we do ship to Canada!

[@jasonomelchuck906]

Do you use any kind of shift sensor with the Rohloff and the Bafang or will the Rohloff shift under load?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Yes, we use a gear shift sensor that cuts the motor while shifting.

[@clairehiggins7120]

You could easily come up with a kit to make these disabled friendly, lots of disabled people are adrenaline junkies 😀

[@bernardrobinson4019]

[@matthewayala571]

what did this ride cost all together?

[@soronir3526]

Kinda curious about how y'all ship these orders for people out of state. I wonder if there'd be much assembly involved or if a folding trike could just be folded up, boxed, and shipped. EDIT: Just saw the end of that video from march 4th and saw y'all actually box one up as is, that answers my question.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Everything we ship is fully assembled. Sometimes we'll have to fold a seat down or push a boom in to make it fit, but typically from the time it's unboxed from the time it's ready to ride is about 10 minutes.

[@RicoVELOFATBIKE]

Encore un vélo qui permet de faire aussi bien qu'une chaise roulante : de la ville, du parc, de la pelouse. Cher et pas utile. Merci.

[@cliffmeinhardt2428]

My son has CP and loves his custom trike that allows him to operate all controls with his right hand. The problem is that it's not electric and he tires out quickly. I would love to know if your quads have the ability to have all the main controls including steering on the right. He could reach over and run things with his right hand on the left side but steering I fear is the largest hurdle to overcome.

[@darquesand]

You rock LEWIS!

[@Fwb316]

The first thing you must keep in mind is that if anything goes wrong; what will come next? I was told good luck when I was dealing with a new ebike used less than a month. If you need parts it’s going to cost for this to be done, for this that needs to be changed. I have pleaded with these so called faithful companies to please help me. Well it’s not about feelings, it’s a business and it’s for the money now and later. They can make a lot more money after the ebike have been sold. This ebike I have already needs brake parts, then it was the seat. One problem after the next. Now the speed controller. I have two prosthetic legs and got around with a walker, seen this ebike and said boy this would be so great for me to get around. Now I see that I have to be careful of these spoils because the guarantees are not for everyone. For over a month I have been trying to get parts with absolutely no luck. Sure there is a warranty but good luck with those long weeks of headaches. All these companies work together. I have had my walker for over two years and it is still going strong, my ebike for less than a month and now all it’s doing is taking up space sitting with no hopes.

[@benjameng9475]
