[@trillium_music]

I don’t need a trike but wow the video quality 10/10. I’ve learned a lot from you thanks a lot

[@canvasdog]

I always learn so very much from your videos. Thank you for doing everything you do and sharing your passion. Much appreciated by me and countless others.

[@dskofich]

The lectric now comes with the cargo package and support seat for free

[@AEFisch]

Thanks for the practical education so people can make their own decisions. Proof too as I wouldn't think you and mom would choose the same!

[@jackhouran8851]

Disappointed you left out the rear differential on the Lectric's trike. Easily the most effective engineering feature.

[@darleneeide7090]

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

[@petestronach4949]

they look fun and stable hopefully you get something that works for you

[@michaelsadams524]

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!

[@michaelsadams524]

What I have learned over the last few years is to utilize the different pedal assist levels. When I go to church on Sunday, there is a very steep hill I have to go up. So obviously, I have it at Pedal Assist(PA) 5, the highest level. But I have the chain at the lowest setting. But when I am on level ground and in the bike lane, I usually have it at PA 3 which is really enough. That keeps me at 12-15mph. I get just under 20 miles on a single charge.

[@billwynne27]

YOU AINT NEVER LIED!! WIND IN YOUR FACE.

[@KCostello1]

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!

[@mxbadboy263]

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.

[@kathys3kids]

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!

[@bellyacres7846]

wow! yeah a great value. I am looking and wishing for enough dollars as this looks like what I need. the front basket might be good, but that rear basket And the seat upgrade! [very nice] from a mobility perspective this just might be what I need.

[@colleenh.maxwell3819]

As of 8/14/24, Lectric is now throwing in the cargo pack and the seat back (what they call the support seat) with the purchase. For me, the hydraulic brakes helped me decide to go with Lectric XP rather than the Rad trike. Anyone with grip strength issues should keep in mind that mechanical brakes require a stronger grip to come to a full stop. Thanks a bunch for the awesome video comparison!

[@Robnord1]

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.

[@EbikeSchool]

Yes, if anything I should have made a bigger mention of cambered surfaces. That’s where stability is key.

[@kurisu7885]

It's definitely a concern, glad I already have experience on my Meridian, and that one is a single wheel drive at the rear.

[@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs]

​@PBFoote-mo2zryes. 100% ..that's essentially the reason why the big manufacturers of gas powered trikes all have two wheels in the front. It keeps their customers safe(r) and it keeps their lawyers from having to do much work from lawsuits lol

[@PhyllisBoone-sn8oi]

No evaluation of e-assist trikes is complete without including those from major recumbent tadpole and delta trike manufacturers-Terra Trike, Catrike, Hass, and others. That would be a balanced review.

[@KCostello1]

How did your mom feel about overall stability (other than the addbike?

[@Stryford1]

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.

[@dogstar7]

Great rundown of all the features I admire on the Lectric XP. The R&D and component finishing on Lectric products show their commitment to the development of design and functionality in their product line. They aren't just picking out a lot of bikes in a Shenzhen warehouse and slapping their brand name on them.

[@judieloux3610]

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.

[@bobshoe1]

It has a split differential which is very helpful when turning as it allows the inner and outer wheels to spin at different speeds. This makes it safer on turns. Brilliant engineering and real value on so inexpensive a product.

[@dogstar7]

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!

[@singlespeed2760]

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.

[@conniegarver9618]

Best comarison vid ever!!! I had a 2 wheeler 'e lectric ' Had an accident- broke my neck ( not on bike lol) my kids sold my bike out from under me I cried 4 a week......been saving for 2.5 years still dont hv enough to get a trike ! For mothers day they included cargo package- if your ppl were gonna purchase wait for free offer of cargo pkg. I'm 70 really need a trike- lost my job during covid my old 2 wheel lectric x p only had 26 miles on it so sad she's gone

[@SharonRepici]

That makes me mad for you. Tell them to replace it with a e-trike immediately.

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

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.

[@normanklature6014]

You can blame “Ike”, Eisenhower promoted freeways & airports, this killed trains & buses, discouraged houseboats on all federal waterways & promoted federal permits for boats & national park permits with his “smoky bear” bullshit. (Deepstate shit) All this expansion of government kills LIBERTY.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

it is much cheaper on aliexpress and temu: only $700 usd

[@Geri-r3z]

If you did not get a bike already, at the end of this video, you can enter the free eTrike give away. Lok at it!

[@anneK3801]

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.😄

[@eli1214]

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.

[@heathermtaylor7683]

I've just bought a very cheap used reversed e-cargo trike with a huge box on the front with a little door so children/dogs can enter and sit for a ride - I've taken out one set of seats so the dog has more room. It closely resembles the Babboe Dog E-cargo Trike if you fancy a look. Can't wait to try it out - servicing it first ❣️

[@mikeb1039]

Totally speed (and weight) related. You won't flip a delta trike. Tadpoles a bit more tippy but still nothing like a motorbike going 40mph.

[@stevespringer8385]

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

[@billwynne27]

YES INDEED, ESPECIALLY ON WET GRASS

[@kurisu7885]

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.

[@fmpApps]

Electric has been running this 'sale' for quite some time but has not offered the trike without the packages which makes the 'sale' suspect. Note: I purchased it before the other trikes arrived for sale.

[@7728abbott]

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

[@EbikeSchool]

Thank you!

[@1biggun712]

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 👍👍

[@cindyreeves512]

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!

[@davemurdock4840]

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...

[@GinaKayLandis]

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!

[@lindaolivas5713]

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.

[@jimfielder]

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.

[@mommat1306]

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!

[@Geri-r3z]

This is the best information I have gotten on eTrikes to date. It is just before Black Friday 2024 and you have narrowed my choices considerably. Thanks much.😃

[@ronbauer4550]

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!

[@kurisu7885]

Can't help but agree there. I haven't pulled the trigger on my etrike of choice yet because it's taking a while to gather the funds and stuff keeps popping up.

[@trillium_music]

Just a heads up if you’d do go with rad bikes track their pricing as there has been some steep discounts lately

[@johnriise9506]

My wife and are a young 80,, The Electric XP is the only trike that has a floating rear axel. Great for turning (a older person)... I will be buying on for her, soon....Thanks for your video, It helped on the trike I will be buying...(soon)

[@BuckeyeNut123]

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.

[@debbiea6782]

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. 😊

[@garyscharlat2871]

Thanks!

[@EbikeSchool]

You bet!

[@lesliesonnier3558]

Hello Micah, I purchased the Lectric trike around a year ago. I recently have experienced seemingly irreparable issues and just outside the warranty period. Having the trike was life-changing for me because it gave me some freedom as I was living a sedentary lifestyle due to chronic health issues. I am on a fixed income (social security disability) and I really cannot afford a new trike. I would be extremely thrilled and grateful to win a new trike. I hope I’m the lucky commenter/ rider! Thanks for the informative video

[@cydkriletich6538]

Hi! I’m way late in the e-bike scene and only today (8/10/2024) came across your channel. I really appreciate all of the information you’re giving to those of us who are newbies to the e-bike world. This video was particularly helpful. I will be 75 this month👵🏼, and haven’t ridden a bike since around 1980! Also, I am a really short lady, with my lack of length being in my very short limbs; so, I’m concerned about fit of the trike for me. I’ve been drooling over the Lectric trike for a year, when I first came across etrikes and saw a video with the three young guys who designed it. I was very impressed by them. I saw the trike that was on your left, or one just like it, at Costco about a year ago, and it was HUGE!! WAY too big for me! Then I saw a man riding the Lectric in our neighborhood, and it looked much better for me. I’ve never heard of the Rad trike in your video, and it looked as if, from a size pov, it would likely fit me as well as, if not better than, the Lectric Trike. I have just become a Subscriber on your channel, cuz I know that I will learn a lot from you and with knowledge comes confidence! I need that after not having ridden a bike since the last century! 😉 As soon as I can save up the money to get serious about getting a trike, I’m also going to be getting your books! Thanks to both you and your mom for this helpful video!

[@jackgoldman1]

Rad trike is $1,699 today, October 30, 2024. Excellent job, very technical issue. Well done. Thanks.

[@carlkelm2286]

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

[@jeannetzer3308]

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!!!!

[@kurisu7885]

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.

[@craigfreeman784]

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.

[@trillium_music]

If it is digitally throttled a easy way to go faster is gooogle the settings menu on your bike model and set your wheel size to a smaller diameter viola more speed. P.s. your speedometer reading won’t be as accurate but we’ll worth it IMO

[@markattardo]

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👍👍

[@jeannette543]

I am 60 and have an e bike and I fall over (mostly tip over) a lot. This might be a better choice for me. Lol I like how you had your mom tested them. You could tell when she felt more comfortable on them.

[@SuperPorkchop07]

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.

[@noreennichols8237]

I'm 65 and wanted to get a 3 wheel electric bike with a basket for my dog for a long time, but they are way to costly. If I ever play and hit the lottery or I ever get real lucky with bingo I will try to get me one. Thank you for all the good info because it answers questions I had incase that day comes to shop around. Love the scenery you picked for this video. Beautiful❤

[@michaelhubbard9058]

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!

[@jeriks7894]

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.

[@sherilgreen7495]

Am 88 and just purchased the Lectric XP. Unfortunately the left rear fender arrived bent onto the wheel so bike is unusable. Purchased an electric trike so I can strengthen my legs. Hope we can get this fixed soon. Do not drive anymore and walking doesn’t strengthen the legs. Would love one of your books. This is an excellent review.

[@-HookedonYarn-]

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.

[@patlalla148]

I am really glad I got to see this. At 63, I am starting to think that an electric trike would replace my car. We have two cars and mostly in retirement now I only do shopping and going around to see friends close by. I think in the future a trike might be useful for doing food shopping about 3 to 6 miles away.

[@JhondTorstenson]

just bought the Lectric XP Trike w/ full cargo pkg & comfort seat w/back & suspension stem. Impressive power & 5 levels of pedal assist. You didn't mention the control pad/display which I find helpful. Good video!

[@JohnClark-v1r]

Wow man you a god sent life saver....your research is everything today I just bumped into a video of an older guy trying these out they are awesome Im a 54 yr old gentleman recently divorced just get enjoyment out of your videos and ya so up front and honest. Considering the xp trike The rad is awesome too. thanks for the vid I got some saving to do Peace and Blessings

[@vfr1vfr2]

That XP Trike is just the best.

[@kathleenkaufmann2084]

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!

[@coilinotoole6124]

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

[@vitalitygal]

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.

[@nicksanta]

Hello As a 74 yr aged man, I use trikes as my primary transport. I find that motor controllers fail often. This is due to poor connections and design. Since I am disabled, PAS is too hard for me. It must be disabled. Pedaling all of the time when going 16-20 miles hurts. Additionally shock adsorbing front forks and seat post are necessary. Finally, to avoid being a target on the road averaging 15mph is necessary to limit time on the road. So, you need to be able to sustain 20mph to average a 4 minute mile. I have been riding trikes for ten years as primary transport. Regards

[@Xtrafix2015]

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

[@AZebraCrossing]

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?

[@artofdisguy3401]

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

[@KD-nj4fj]

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

[@hakt100]

Thank you for a very informative video. The only spec I didn't hear was the weight capacity of the trikes. Fit people often don't give any thought to this, but people like myself are often limited to what we can use, despite the price and specs.

[@akgobears]

After about a yr of arm chair research ive decided to purchase the Lectric XP trike especially now with so many accessories being added to the purchase price of $1499....Waiting on it to be delivered now...Going to combine it wih my little dog carrier and take some nice rides with my best friend in life...

[@iTrove]

Nicely done! Looking at these now for my wife, in her early 70’s and never learned to ride a bicycle. Thought I was doing a great thing years back buying her one that has now been gifted to the grand kids. arrggg… on my ignorance. We have rented a random and it was real fun for her, I was having fun because she was. So now.. this might work. She is tiny, so these behemoths intimidate her and if I am not with her.. well it will sit. That RAD is interesting size and stability wise, but the lectric is certainly more appointed.

[@randygalligher4082]

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.

[@anttmann6123]

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.

[@PirateNSeaScourge]

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

[@reubennichols644]

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

[@normanklature6014]

Hell yes, I am 83 & I own two, yes 2, of those “dangerous” E-Trikes, if you cannot adapt you will tip over, you Will be injured & it would be rider error. I love my Addmotor M-340 of 3 yrs, and my other love is the Evelo Compass, they are as different as night & day, so just pick one, don’t over think it, the down side is the goat heads & flat tires and the local bike shops are absolutely NO HELP at all, the minimum wage, gov free Money, grants, is way too much & is driving the cost of labor way up in bike shops, prices are outta site. Nothing never goes wrong with my 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet 6spd, (now that thing is a complicated precision made piece of machinery) and I drive it hard, my entire life is about the fun, no grief, no misery. NOTE: The haters hate the fun people, haters will come for you, JESUS knows Trump is a fun guy, look what the haters are doing to the fun guy, the man who earned his money as a builder of luxury & beautiful structures, Trump even created a beautiful family with of course GOD as his savior. I’m outta here O.G. (I am the 83 yr old original genius)

[@Leonardokite]

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

[@NS_DAD]

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.

[@doohjames6616]

Sat in hospital with a heart problem and have decided to give up my car and get a bike. Never thought of an electric bike until seeing this video. I would love to win because I feel it will help me with recovery and be the perfect solution for my everyday needs. Love the video by the way and tell mum well done for the great demo

[@wildbill23c]

Something to keep in mind with some of these trikes, different sized front and rear tires means you have to carry 2 different sizes of inner tubes, not that they're all that big, but if the tires are the same size, you would only need to carry 1 tube. I'd buy the Lectric Trike...its narrow to fit through doorways, its more designed for older people with mobility issues....the rear wheel drive is a huge plus, you have better traction at the rear wheels than you ever would on the front. I just bought a Lectric XP Lite....its ok, range is of course an issue as it has a very small battery. I've been riding it back and forth to work this week, so far so good....the round trip is 8 miles...still have about 1/2 to 3/4 of the battery left depending on how much I pedal LOL. They're good bikes, and if you ride a lot I'd highly recommend getting one of the bikes with a larger output battery, or one with dual batteries. I do not have any of the cargo stuff on my e-bike yet....I need to order the rear rack and large basket, which of course went on sale a couple days after I ordered my bike. I'll buy a set of saddle bags as well, which I should be able to install on the rear rack. Not sure if I'll use the basket all the time, but we shall see what I end up liking better LOL.

[@Steve-tc8ec]

Can j talk to someone

[@michaelsanders9506]

I was making those trailers before rad was. It's just a bike trailer that you normally tell kids around in. You just take the top of the frame off and you got a trailer. All they did was tack weld a little railing around the barrier. I've made them custom made with fishing rod holders and another one for construction worker turned it Andrew's giant rolling tool box behind his e-bike I've made and sold them down here in Florida for over a decade

This has been a great video. I have the addmoter which is great fun , but after this video ,I think the Rad is best for me. THANKS so much for the great info! I love that the Rad has a parking brake and back peddling brake

[@PatriciaBlack-nu2nd]

I really appreciate the in depth information on all these trikes. But since I'm a larger gal, I would have liked to hear the weight capacity of each. Glad you got your mom what she wanted!

[@EricRobertson-vx3lr]

I am disabled. I have lupus because of that I’ve had a series of strokes that started 20 years ago until November 2024. Thank you, and God bless

[@oldsoldier4209]

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. 🤠👍

[@christybentley3700]

Comfort package comes with Lectric. Including the seat. I just bought one. They also send you all sorts of other items. Mirror, phone holder, etc.

[@PaintDrumTravel]

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

[@EbikeSchool]

Definitely! But it’s much more expensive. There are a few models like that but the complicated steering/frame makes them pricy

[@aaronbredon2948]

2 tires up front and a low seat is generally more stable...but you lose cargo capacity. Also, these upright delta trikes are much more visible to cars.

[@loumon2]

I agree with the Rad for the likely target consumer

[@dexsj77]

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.

[@aw7425]

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.

[@Phillipshorses]

I have watched several comparison videos. This is the best so far. Great Job on the plusses and minuses on these trikes. Right on for the AddMotor, spins out on gravel like crazy. I rode the XP and liked it the best so far. No RAD dealer anywhere close. Just got off the Lectric site.... nothing but free shipping is included. I have to say customer service lacks a bit, very hard to get ahold of those folks. Very concerning for issues down the road. Nice trike though. Thanks for the Video!!!

[@randallwells2892]

I notice that only the Addmotor has front suspension. I have the Emojo Caddy pro which I swapped out the seat and installed a parallelogram seat post which made a big difference. The only thing about the trike is that the front suspension had to be replaced at 680 miles and it was out of warranty. If I had to do it again I 'd get the Addmotor.

[@jenny8992]

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

[@AndreiNeacsu]

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.

[@edcooper1471]

I currently have a Lectric XP 3.0 eBike, and I love it, but my only gripe is the location of the key to turn the battery on and off. And if anyone doesn't know, the key to turn the Lectric ebike on and off is located under the frame of the bike, which means you have to bend down (or even kneel down) to access the key to turn the bike battery on and off, which is very awkward. And sometimes I forget to turn it off because it's not in a more obvious location (like on the side or the top). And if Lectric had designed their ebikes where you didn't need to have the key to be physically be in the battery in order to turn the battery on and off, then you wouldn't need to have the key in the battery all the time (for example, with the Aventon ebikes the key is only needed to lock and/or unlock the battery to/from the bike frame, and not to power on the battery, and their key is insert on the side of the frame). So my point is, my 80 year old uncle wants to purchase an e-Trike, and although I love the Lectric brand, but if the location of the key to turn the bike battery on and off on their e-Trikes is also located under the frame of the bike (just like their Lectric XP 3.0 eBike) then this e-Trike would not be a good choice for him or any senior who has problems bend down?

[@JhondTorstenson]

Bought my Lectric XP trike Nov.'24. The battery STAYS ON with the key removed!! The key is turned 90 deg clockwise only to REMOVE the battery. You DO NOT need to leave it in to run the bike! A spring lock inside returns the switch inside to the vertical ON position when the key is removed!! Call LECTRIC & talk to service!

[@billwynne27]

HOWDEE! IM A 77 YEAR YOUNG AIRBORENE VET, 5 FOOT 200 LBS. FAKE HIP AND SHOULDER. 80% I HAVE RIDDEN MOTORCYCLES SINCE 12; CUSHMAN SCOOTERS, LMAO. GREAT COMPARISON REVIEW. AT 72 VERTIGO MADE ME SELL OFF 3 MOTORCYCLES I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN THE 70s. I CRIED. LIVE TO RIDE, RIDE TO LIVE. WELL FOR YEARS I HAVE TO JUST WISH. I KNEW I LIKED THE ELECTRIC BIKES, BUT DANGEROUS. LAST YEAR I WAS REVIEWING TRIKES. A HARLEY TRIKE WAS TOOOO MUCH. BOOM, I SEE THE XP TRIKE. THE PRICE KILLED ME, I INSTANTLY ORDEDER ONE. BOOM ARRIVAL DAY. MY 80 YEAR TEENAGER BROTHER AND I UNPACKED IT. REVIEWS SAID 15 MINUTES, CUZ WE CAINT SEE SO GOOD, IT TOOK US 20 MINS. WE ARE AEROSPACE ENGINEERS. WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE HEFT AND WELDING OF THE FRAME. BROKE THE RULES, JUST WIPED THE DISC BRAKES OFF, SLAMMED IN BATTERY AND OFF. AS YOU STATED, WITHOUT SUSPENSION 13 MPH IS ENUFF!! LOVE IT. IF YOU HAVE A GARAGE, THE WIDTH IS NO MATTER, BUT IF YOU STORE IT INDOOORS, THE XP WIDTH IS MADE TO GO THRU REGULAR HOME DOORS. BECAUSE OF MY 6 FOOT FRAME, I HAD TO RAISE SEAT TO MAX TO ALLOW MY LEGS TO FLEX WHEN PEDDLING. DOWNSIDE, TIPPIER. THE BRAKES ARE FABULOUS, HYDRUALIC BEATS CABLES ALL DAY. YOU CAN NOT DISCONNECT THE PEDALS PER SE, THE FASTER YOU GO, THE FASTER YOU'D PEDAL. BUT STOP PEDDLING AND LET IT PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. I BASICALLY START IN MODE 2 OR THREE, BASED ON IF I'M IN GRASS OR GRAVEL, THEN HIT 4. IT HAS CRUISE CONTROL. OK. I GREW UP MOSTLY RIDING DIRT BIKES, SO I HAD TO TAKE OFF THE TRAILS. GREAT, SIMILAR TO YOUR FANTASTIC TESTER AREA. GREAT. ALSO I THOUGHT AFTER FIRST RIDE TO CHARGE FULLY, BUT I SAID, WE NEED TO TEST HOW LONG BATTERY WILL WORK. OUTTA THE BOX, FOUR DAYS, 26 MILES. WOW. I'VE BUILT HARLEYS, TRIUMPHS, HONDAS. I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED WITH XP TRIKE. AS I BOUGTH MINE EARLY, I GOT THE BASKETS AND SEAT FREE. THE VALUE CONTINUES; $150 MORE!! ALSO THE SEAT POST IS A SMALL SHOCK ABSORBER BUILT IN, SO IT ABSORBS SOME OF BUMPS ON THE STREET. FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE GAINED A POUND OR TWO DOWN SOUTH, THE REGULAR SEAT IS AN ENEMA, GET THE UPGRADE NO MATTER WITH ORIGINAL ORDER!! MY LIL SHIH TZU LOVED THE FRONT BASKET. I PURCHASED A WINDSHIELD, LOTS OF BUGS IN ALABAMA. I PURCHASED EXTRA LONG STEMMED MIRRORS TO SEE BETTER FOR CARS, ESPECIALLY ELECTRICS YOUR OLD EARS CAINT HEAR. I ALSO PURCHASED AUTO TURN OFF TURN SIGNALS, AND 12 LED LIGHTS, ATTACHED ON THE REAR AND SEAT BACK. YEARS ON THE ROAD TEACHES YOU THAT CAGE DRIVERS SELDOM SEE MOTORCYCLES, BIKES OF ANY SORT. NO MATTER WHICH YOU SELECT, YOU WAN TO BE SEEN FROM. ALSO, THE XP TRIKE HAS BRAKE LIGHTS, VERY NICE. I EVEN HAVE A LED VELCROWED TO THE REAR OF MY HELMETS. ALL OF THE LEDS HAVE MULTIPLE MODES, STEADY, FLASH AT LEAST. YOU HAVE DIFFERENT COLORED HELMETS FOR DIFFERENT DAYS, PULL OFF AND SWAP. I AM BUYING ANOTHER THIS MONTH FOR MY LADY TO ACCOMPANY ME. AND THE PRICE ALLOWS ME TO ACCOMPLISH THIS FUN MACHINE! I GIVE IT TEN POINTS ON TEN POINT SCALE. HOOAH, AIRBORNE ALL THE WA🥰🥰🥰😁🦣🦣kzbin.infogaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f970.png

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

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Amazing how fast algorithm works after doing google search.Myasthenia gravis hit hard at 58 and quickly took biking, hiking, skiing,walking through museums, playing the flute, walking up steps, breathing easy. Have regained ability to walk to the corner and back 4 times in a row but that's not enough to go around the block or to the store a block away in this dying town where everything I want to go to is within 8 miles. Only problem is that I really want to walk the dogs on this, fearful about a side jerk pulling it over. Also your mom looks tiny, I am 6'1. You don't mention how it goes in cold or rain.. midwest weather can change so fast. I can save to get one if it pans out to be something that goes through standard door and meets all my needs

[@NWforager]

i like Lectric most But as someone who's ridden many e-trikes a good front hub in conjunction with pedaling creates All wheel drive , which is great in loose dirt , sand , snow uneven ground .

[@tomknud]

I adopted a Lectric XP trike and am wondering how to upgrade it, better controller, regenerative, gearing. Any advice? BTW, I instantly noted that, without the gearing especially, the controller does not assist enough at '2' level but assists too much at '3' level which is a bit of an annoyance, since you can't tune it t a good RPM/effort/exercise level. Otherwise Cons are : * Foldable, I fit it in the back seat. * Goes well especially with the throttle handle. * Handles well, I found little chance of tipping below 10mph. * Good brakes. * Good motor / battery kit. * Pretty good cargo which comes with it. * Great value.

[@5869travish]

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!!

[@EbikeSchool]

Thank you, glad to have you here!

[@tomcurrie2427]

At least right now (late July 2024) the Lectric XP Trike still comes with the Cargo Package included. It also comes with the Support Seat and the Go Package (Bike Lock, Phone Mount, and Elite Headlight), still at $1499

[@sbukosky]

Having bought the Lectric, there are more things to consider. The Lectric comes fully assembled but the carelessness of FedEx bends fenders and wheels. What about the others? Next is the need for long term durability. At less than 50 miles, I’ve had a wheel bearing go bad and both parking brake levers have the pawls broken off. I bought this for my wife, but thinking I may spring for the Rad, especially as it’s the pick of your mom and looks to have a lower CG.

[@helenstriker9564]

I would love the trike because I have medical issues. I do own the lectric 1.0. But I have had two bad flips over the handle bars. My fault but I think I would be safer on a trike. I love Lectric even though I can’t pick them up😅 thanks for the review.

[@brianmoore4299]

Great review. I could use the Lectric trike to get to my cancer Drs at the hospital. Have no car. Not far, only 1.8 miles.

[@jamiebrown2576]

Thanks for the very helpful review. If you edit the video, please add how much the individual trikes weight and perhaps some tips on loading them into cars/trucks.

[@MariaNewman-e3o]

I am 85 years old and had a trike which got wrecked in the storm. I would love to have the electric XB trike but it is not affordable. I had an accident and broke my femur bone and am recovering from the operation. Going to therapy doing my exercises and just starting to walk. Will be 100% in a short time

[@mrk8212]

Thanks, nice vid. As of 3/31/24 the upgraded seat and both baskets are still included in the 1499 for the Lectric XP

[@sherriwilson-es1xk]

❤ 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.

[@patriciamauney5011]

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.
