The ALL NEW Catrike eCAT system pedal assist system! We received our first ever eCAT and we have been trying it out here at the shop. Catrike opted for the Bosch Active Line Plus motor that has four different pedal assist modes: Eco, Tour, Sport and Turbo. The motor is really well integrated into the Catrike boom and the system is easy to set up and operate. Cost of the motor is $2600 when you purchase a new Catrike model. If you want to install an eCAT kit onto a Catrike that you already own, the cost is $2750.
This system uses a torque sensor so it feels natural as you pedal and it's so quiet you won't even notice it's there. For riders looking to add a little extra power to their ride, the eCAT system delivers smooth and consistent pedal assist that will aid on quick commutes or long tours.
The new eCAT is set up with an 11-speed drivetrain to compensate for some gearing loss. If you install the eCAT system on a trike you already own, you might lose some ability to climb hills.

That’s right 324 gear options, + an overdrive. I only use the assist on hills, or passing a younger rider; I’m 69, lolol and looking forward to 60. To 100 mile days. Love your posts.

Great vid! I'm a total Kait fan! She is an effective spokesperson. I like how the vid included a number of Utah Trikes "characters". Honestly pleased my all of my interactions with Utah trikes. Bought an expedition with Bafang motor last year. Loving it. These catrikes are not cheap, but they are of superior quality. I've never regretted my purchase. Maybe someday I'll get out to Utah to see the shop.

I just got to test ride one of these on a Dumont. Awesome trike. The full suspension is like riding in your car comfortable. The Bosch motor is crazy simple, two revolutions and I was rolling 15mph, and pulling 20mph with little effort. Easier than riding my Trek 5200. With the motor off it wasn’t any harder than riding my bike. Even up hill it was a breeze. With the motor on, hills are nonexistent. Can’t wait for the shop to get one I can buy.

You guys have some nice stuff. Would I buy it? No but I like DIY stuff, I live in the mountains and everything is up hill. If'n someone asked me I would certainly recommend they talk to you folks.

I’m curious whether you folks have ever installed the e-bike system from Electric Bike Outfitters. I had their Burley system installed on my catrike last year and I love it. It’s a hub motor, 5 assist levels, with a throttle, 350 watts, 48v battery and a really nice color display. It does use a cadence sensor, I do hear the motor some but I usually have earbuds in so I don’t mind it.

Kate - Great, fun videos as always! if I pass thru (from Arizona) and drop by Utah Trikes, would the team be able to install a pedal-assist motor on a Catrike Trail I purchased this past October 2022? The Bosch looks great but losing the 3 front chainrings & gearing I have and not getting the 11 gear cassette would be a drag. The Rouloff (sp?) hub would be the next step for the future.. Also the video (and pricing?) was from July 2020 - is the pricing close to the $2,750 mentioned in the video?

Hi, I really like your videos thanks. I would like to know how the control panel is during sunny days if you can see it. In that does the sun wash it out so you can not see it while riding? when adding the weight with the motors does this take into account that you can have less weight per person as the capacity for a Catrike Trail is eg 275 weight capacity. do I count the motor and my weight plus my gear to see if I am over the weight capacity for the trike? Thanks for your help in advance. Planning on doing a tour in my Country (Canada). This year is 2022 now.

FYI... Recently ran across you channel and I'm a noob... Building a stealth camper / toy hauler and was thinking an electric quad would be a good addition to get around with rather than my motorcycle, since I'm installing a 3,600 watt solar array on top of my stealth camper. (It's a 26' box truck.) So after seeing some of the stuff you have built, I went over to your site and tried finding what you had shown, or for that matter trying to build one from the site from what I saw in the video... So I could get an idea on what it was going to fully cost... And once there, I had no clue on what was what and why would I want one thing over another... Thought the Hot Rod quad looked cool, but couldn't find it on the site... So I decided on seeing what it would cost for something else... After googling things like the front / rear gearing, idler kits, different light options, etc... And then I noticed... Bafang 850C Color display with selector switch $56.00 Bafang 850C Color display with selector switch $71.00 Then I finally clicked on the "details" link... Which should be more clearly marked, I assumed it was a site error at first or a weird running total, because I wasn't at a full screen, I was at a tablet sized screen on my desktop. I had 3 other windows open. Your site, KZbin with your video and google to look things up. Then I saw... Color options with missing swatch colors. Discontinued / out indefinitely / very limited items listed. (You need inventory integration on the site. Customers don't like things to be dangled in front of their face and then be told you can't have that, or they order it and get a call... "well, we don't have any more" or "they are back ordered, and it will be weeks before we can get any more") Items missing pics. Items with no pics. (One described as "fat, but not too fat" Wow.. how descriptive... that tells me a lot... Since "fat" is in the eye of the beholder... ;) If you catch my drift...) At that point my brain was fried and my eyes were glazed over... And I gave up... for now... I design eCommerce sites for a living... Been doing it for going on 21 years... But I have been "playing" with computers since 1974... Your site needs some serious work... Dump Cold Fusion... It used to be a good platform until Allaire was bought out by Macromedia (made it worse) then Adobe bought out Macromedia and then it got really bad. Last time I used Cold Fusion was for a shopping site for one of the top three search engines back in 2000. Then in 2002 when they changed the servers and coding to JRE, I dumped it for PHP and recoded the whole shopping cart site from scratch to match. And get rid of Perl... too slow... Probably okay for your site, but get rid of it anyway... And no... I'm not available... I'm semi retired...

I'm currently riding an Expedition with a Bafang 1000 and a 24.5 AmpH battery. The 14 speed Rohloff gearing is more than adequate for my setup. I imagine it would be just as much of a breeze with this Bosch setup. Lack of a throttle on the Bosch withstanding, I'd probably go with this if I ever consider adding another Catrike to the stable. I mean, it's a new system, so there's a good chance either Bosch or an aftermarket manufacturer will come out with a throttle later down the road.

Just a thought.

Very nice. I am on my second Esystem on my Expedition, once the Bionx died, I put a DIY onto it. The cost for this system does not seem out of line at all, if fact it seems pretty decent. I'm running a geared hub since I have hills and I want to take it touring at one point. Having that thing making noise in your ear does get a bit old after a bit. A nice quiet system like this would be nice. I would LOVE to try one out on a Dumont with a Rohloff. That would be a sweet ride. Kait, the part with the long shadows when you were on your ride was spectacular.

In your opinion is the Ti Fly X the best quality trike on the market ?

Question: For bigger people who maybe want to get into this as an active hobby, what trike would you recommend in the 3-4k price range? You guys all look like you could ride bikes made of balsa wood with no issues but at 6'1 and 300 pounds I'm kinda skittish about these delicate looking machines.

Would this model be good for a petite, 4’11” senior woman? Also, I’m interested in one that is more upright, that’s easy to get in and out of, with good ground clearance. Thanks for your help!😊

Nice video. Hey, when you do a comparison sometime in the future could you figure out how they handle a load? I'm thinking more like weight load. A Lewis sized rider compared to a Fred (me) rider at 320. Are they slightly affected or greatly affected? Not sure how or if it could be easily done, just something to think about. BTW, never thought I'd say Lewis is cute...ummm...the one with glasses...uh...not that the oth...oh geez, nevermind.

I don't see the video where you compare motors. Have you not done it yet? Or am I just missing it? I am very interested in torque sensor motors, do you have others available? Any that can go on Sunseeker trikes?

For the second time, love your videos and products. There's no safe place to ride them in Honolulu, Hawaii. Would it be possible to position the rider higher up so people driving cars, SUVs, and even semis could see them? It's a safety issue here. I realize that the center of gravity would be higher, but feel that the issue of people not seeing you is a bigger issue. I used to ride my trusty shwinn when I was younger, only quitting when I got hit head on. So is higher and more visible a possibility? Thank you.

Utah Trikes should look into an episode addressing visibility. Myself, I was thinking a nice flag up in the air with 4 high intensity strobe, red LED lights on the tip that would draw the driver's eyeballs to it. The wiring could be integrated into the fiberglass whip of the flag. For extra creativity, the whip itself could be wound with LEDs that illuminated the entire whip. Survival is about being visible.

In this configuration the cabling is routed to the side. So, you can't mount it to the boom as configured.
