Electric Bike Technologies Electric Eco-Tad Trike Review - $2.3k

The Electric Bike Technologies Electric Eco-Tad Trike is a tadpole trike with a focus on value as well as stability with efficient tires, recumbent seating position, and adjustments to get you dialed in. Open platform allows you to swap battery sizes, adjust the top speed and amp flow to change performance vs. efficiency, large bright display panel is easy to work with, nice efficient road tires. A 500 watt motor, 48v 10ah battery pack, mechanical disc brakes, a parking brake, motor inhibitor, and reliable mechanical system. The display panel is mounted more securely but you have to glance away from the road to read it, tires suffer on non-paved trails and roads, and it is somewhat heavy and hard to maneuver in tight spaces.

Thanks for these great reviews. Very thorough and solid production all around.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hey, that means a lot to us, thanks Barzin :D

[@travelinjohn2163]

I’m scrolling through your videos. Have you done any on e trikes like the old style trike? Thanks for all of your informative videos

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

You add a wind screen to it you greatly improve range and efficiency.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Good tip, a keyword for that part is "fairing" if anyone is interested. I've seen many different types of clear windshields and such that are designed specifically for recumbent ebikes. Check out www.zzipper.com/

[@scottschwartz7263]

Nice entry trike. Is there a 1000w hub motor available for this trike? Thanks for all of your reviews, nice job!!

[@Graham_Wideman]

Total "kinda" count = 70, an average of one every 20 secs. Amazingly, the auto transcript didn't get confused by the Kenda tires.

[@calvingarrett3245]

Can you get back to me with a message how about getting a 16-inch wheel electric for my tadpole Sunseeker?

[@pechy1353]

¿Ustedes venden bicicletas?

[@IraQNid]

Their e-trikes are fairly expensive. Armrests and some way to rest your legs would be a nice addition to this style of trike.

[@johnc.bojemski1757]

The only thing that spooks me about these types of bikes is sitting so LOW as compared to the standard two wheelers. It's got to result in both reduced vision by the rider and visibility to other vehicles sharing the road. Otherwise? Looks like a much more stable and comfortable platform for many of us "older" riders.

[@johnc.bojemski1757]

Also in hill climbing... On a two wheeler you can STAND UP on the pedals to add more of your bodyweight to help push the bike against the incline. You CAN'T do that with these guys can you? How do you handle riding up hills with them?

[@taufikabidin412]

Push back against the seat and gear down

[@calvingarrett3245]

I bought a second hand Sunseeker tadpole t r i k e from a woman a few weeks ago no accessories butter is good I wish I can put a electric motor on it motor on it but there's no stores in this area that will accommodate me my t r i k e has seven speeds and I wish I could put a electric motor on it is 16 inch wheels how do I go about getting a electric motor kit for the back wheel and a back rack for the battery

[@darrendarmanin]

Is that even a helmet looks like you have a spaceship on your head

[@hoselrocket5429]

very "spaceballs" like

[@Idahomie]

Good quick overview'. I espec liked the rear mounted camera angle segment. I was able to hear the constant, annoying motor noise...always concern for me in selecting an etrikes. Thx for that information.

[@Idahomie]

@@hoselrocket5429 Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis wud be proud.

[@consciouscoma85]

when ever your ass is lower then the crank you are fighting the force of gravity and if you have feet and ankle problems ( like I do) its better to have a trike like this one because the crank is lower and your sitting higher up. plus its easier to get off and on it.

[@bushcrafter6416]

Who looks like that for a review, could nt watch!!!

[@Kyle.Craddock04]

Ok let’s get one thing strait what is that ugly steering and we use trike that are payed all the way down and you are laying in the trike and electric honestly a and that looks really slow a whole 15 miles an hour

[@taufikabidin412]

Direct steering

[@consciouscoma85]

it says in the specs that is gos 26 mph.

[@jamesthomas5662]

This guy looks like he is wearing a mixing bowl for a helmet.

[@darrendarmanin]

OMFG the glasses and that helmet!! Puts me off the review, where the usual guy

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hi Darren! This is Court... the usual guy, I've been getting some review help recently because the site has required some maintenance and I've had a hurt arm. We're doing our best and I'll have more videos in the works soon ;)

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

ElectricBikeReview.com , you were very nice in your reply. 😉

[@ricknoe942]

A rack mounted battery in 2019? Fail.

[@BIGCATYOUTUBR]

Camera guy needs to back off!!!!

[@BIGCATYOUTUBR]

He's all over your face. NO info there!!!!

[@cpoul]

Yeah, can't watch this guy

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Thanks for your feedback! I've been expanding the team a bit, so we can cover additional bikes. Mikey has been learning and this was one of his earlier reviews.

[@nuen7825]

​@@ElectricBikeReview I can watch this guy! I was very well explained and detailed.
