At last a trike that doesn't look like a mobility vehicle. I'm an old short lady and love my ebike, but am excited by this, could put the dog in the back. I live in South West France in a very hilly region and we're all trying to be more green here. Love my ebike for everyday use, but this would be so practical in our narrow lanes and little towns for shopping.

[@edmaxll]

I bought the Emojo tike on line. It came in two boxes without instructions. Almost immediately Amazon sent an email asking how I liked the trike, my response was to complain about no instructions. The vendor replied the same with the instructions and a video. I spent a week putting it together all while in contact with the vendor. I am happy with mine. I use it to walk my dog using the throttle only.

[@michaelsadams524]

You have given me a couple of ideas. Thank you for this tutorial. You are going to help me learn more.

[@bobshoe1]

Well done! Thanks for posting your video. Very clear and excellent production quality.

[@michaelsadams524]

You are giving me so much useful information! You are great!

[@twistedexistence3603]

"... a box full of kittens" LOL

[@michaelsadams524]

I just got this about a month ago. Mine does have the back rest. I have what I call a perpetual smile when I am on it. I average about 15.5 miles per hour. I told a neighbor today that it is not fast but it is faithful.

[@riasomers642]

I get that same perpetual smile tooling on my inexpensive ebike. I'm looking @ strikes because in a couple yrs will be getting one. It's good to know not just the specs but how to drive one. My wheels are 14" because the 24" one made me feel insecure being so high up. I used to ride a 26" one but height is an issue for me @ 64.

[@michaelsadams524]

@@riasomers642, I understand your concern. I am pretty tall myself and like being up high. The front tire on mine is 24" and the 2 rear tires are 20" tall. All of them are 4" wide. What is good about the seat is that it is adjustable.

[@michaelsadams524]

It is toward the back so it is not too high.And the seat can be lowered almost to the battery if desired. I should see if they make it with smaller tires. I'll let you know.

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

Yo fellas!! Greetings from Michigan ! Cort & Sam together is like Billy the Kid & Hulk Hogan of the Ebike world ! - I always went to Sam’s shop in Fullerton for the 411 and premium details and service -I’m in Detroit now - was thinking of getting one of these trikes so that I don’t have to worry about the cost and headache of owning a car out here -need to be able to ride steady in the snow so wanted to scope the trike action -much luv to the original ebike ambassadors !

[@teammxm]

When we started selling trikes they had SLA BATTERY and were priced at $899 a lot has changed there’s definitely a need for electric trikes an the E-Mojo Caddy with its fat tires can do more than the competition it has the ability to go where others can’t and quite honestly it’s just a darn fun to ride if anyone would like to test ride it we’re gonna have a big open house on August 24th 2019 Emojo will be here I also like that they are local from Irvine ca.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

It's going to be awesome!! Can't wait to see you guys again :D

[@ajemohaltom3560]

Sam keeping it real as usual. I appreciate it, I was on an etrike living in a trailer park at one point, and it is huge not to have to pay for a car all year round. Personally, I would like to see more etrikes with solar charging options given the added surface area.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

That sounds awesome! I've got friends at a trailer park nearby and love all of the people! It's basically a retirement community there, but my uncle also used to live at one near the Big Thompson river in Colorado. He's in a coma right now because he drank too much alcohol... I guess that's a lot to share, I'm just thinking about him. Hope you and your family are well :)

[@ajemohaltom3560]

@@ElectricBikeReview Not too much sharing at all. Sending all the good will prayers I can. It's important to have a modest lifestyle, and I think that's what you're promoting.

[@ajemohaltom3560]

@Animal Mother Well you have to consider where oil is going to be in 40 years. Electricity is fairly abundant (at least in ways to generate it). On top of that ways to store electricity show no signs of stopping. Oil on the other hand.... let's just say it would take a lot of corn to have enough oil if the worlds reserves and wells ran dry.

[@javierdecon2456]

Hola amu me interesa ese triciclo si es que anda sin pedaleo y me dices precio si es posible el motor es el de 500w o mayor si puede ser

[@ajemohaltom3560]

@@javierdecon2456 Recomiendo un etrike construido por profesionales. Pero puede comprar un triciclo para adultos por $ 300 y luego colocar una rueda de kit de conversión de 500w en la parte delantera. Esos kits cuestan alrededor de $ 150. Solo asegúrese de comprar una batería de fabricación profesional.

[@pggrant50]

Really enjoyed this review and love it when you review etrikes. I also appreciate the warnings about safety when riding this type of vehicle. Thanks for a great job on this one.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

You're welcome, Priscila! I appreciate your comment and encouragement :D

[@russellwong278]

I love my TRIKETAN Etrike. The trike rides smoothly. I love it!

[@michaelsadams524]

I have only used the throttle a couple of times. I prefer pedaling. It lengthens the amount of time the battery has good charge.

[@Joshua79C]

Would be nice if those who make such trikes also offered a hitch (bolted or welded) for trailers such as the Bikes at Work ones, like Lightfoot used to do before they stopped manufacturing their recumbents in November 2014

[@StrillLife]

Sam is so cool. Just laying back in the cut. Lol. It looks like that thing can flip like those old school 3 wheelers that predated quads. Really rad looking bike though.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Oh yeah! Those old three-wheelers would flip so easy!!! I think they basically stopped making them :P and yeah, Sam is so awesome. He's cool but also lovable and chill.

[@CissyBrazil]

I venture to say many many of us don’t live anywhere near you store. Where I live in Calif way out in sticks,there is one bike store. It does not sell trikes nor repair, assemble, etc. We would have to buy online. I know of one place that delivers a fat tire trike full assembled. Love that. I’m too old to mess with assembly.

[@baytinsopo]

Note they said "the dealer will..." Not any LBS will service any e bike, let alone have replacement tubes or batteries. Find the dealer and have them service ebike

[@michaelsadams524]

I have had my Emojo Caddy since early fall of 2020. Mine did not have reflectors on it. But I just went and purchased some stick on reflectors and put them on the back fender. I also added 2 separate lights on it to give me more visibility. I have been learning how to use it. Thank you for all your good information.

[@MrSteelAu]

I feel the next gen trike from this manufactures will be just right. Till then I wait. A duel battery pack or even a triple battery pack would be a must have.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Oh man! Dual battery e-trike with fat tires... that sound sweet! But I suspect a higher price tag too. Did you see this one: electricbikereview.com/fth-power/x2-f-abyss/

[@onewayofliving]

Is the pedal assist always on and thus always draining the battery? If you just want to have the Epower available when you hit the throttle, is that a mode that is available so you can increase the range?

[@ROGERWALDMAN]

GREAT VIDEO !

[@e.stgo.7998]

At 23:17 the walk mode did not work because of the break lock was on. Motor was disable. Unlock it and try again.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Ohhh, good call. That happens to me more than I'd like to admit. Like sometimes, I'll even start filming and be like... um, why isn't the bike working. And it's for the same reason :D

[@LetArtsLive]

I was surprised how fast the ecotric hammer bike is. I had no idea I have one leg and I took off I was at the corner before I knew it and there was a van coming and I couldn't stop fast enough it's a different ride than a regular bike. I've been riding a bike since I was 7 years old I'm 58 now I wouldn't advise somebody that doesn't know how to ride a bike pretty good to take off without practicing. And turning on a fat tire is totally different but I love my e-bike. I put blue lights on the front two lights on the back a rack a seatpost because it was too high with the spring and I could not reach the ground and and now I don't have enough money for a helmet that would be the next thing. I could tie my Cannondale wagon and carry 6 bags of groceries. People look at you funny riding down the road with one leg on a two-wheel bike. I wish I had a three wheel bike for shopping. I don't understand why they did not put a bottom in the back you would have to put one in the front things will fall right through

I like the battery in the middle behind the seat but my seat does not flip up like that one and those flip-up ones are very expensive like $100 or something and finding a 72.2 is almost impossible I bought one in the paint made it too thick to fit in so I had to sand it down and file it before I could even put the post in but I got one finally.

Oh yeah 😎. Because I do some serious shopping 🛍 🙄 and hauling I found and installed a Class #1 hitch to pull my garden trailer. Found combination hitch "used" on Amazon for less than $50 shipped. This Hitch had both a small ball trailer hitch and a garden trailer Pin 📌 hitch. Class #1 hitches are 1.25" square or inch and a quarter square.

[@michaelsadams524]

Listen. I always turn the key off in the lock position. When in that position, it cannot be taken.

[@tonyk8368]

A lot of electric bicycles and tricycles like this one are super sturdy but have a really low carrying weight rating for some reason. 55 lbs seems way lower than what this thing can actually haul in the back; I would guess several hundred. Without suspension, the limiting factor for weight has to be the tires, right? I mean, what else is there that could fail on there?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hey Tony, I'd say that the spokes are actually the first point of vulnerability with weight. I hear big people frequently telling me that they get loose spokes or even broken ones. I do agree that the weight estimates for the Caddy Trike seem a bit low.

[@starlessmystery6429]

I just got one of these and you guys are scaring the crap out of me with all your talk of breaking hips and running over feet. Geez!!! Anyways, I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not used to the wideness of the back part of the bike but some turns I’ve went into the bike did not want to turn. I literally had to break and then correct the turn. Not sure if the problem is with me not over-compensating for the wideness of the rear end. I took it out two days ago and it gave my thighs a great work-out though. Still recovering

have an electric bike, it has a switch on the battery which is under my sead, in the handle bar I can't switch the battery on and off, it only can change the speed of the electric, it has 3 speed choose on it, if I just want to paddle the bike without the electric, it is very hard for me to reach the switch on the battery, how can I add a switch on and off on the handle bar, then I can choose use paddle or electric when I was ridding on my bike. please let me know on this question, thank you so much. a video?

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Hey Tracey! Perhaps you could work with someone who solders to have a switch wired in... but that would also become vulnerable over time because of how long the wires might be and how the connection could rust or get pulled apart. It sounds like a bummer reaching under the seat... but I'd probably just leave it alone or maybe sell the trike and buy one with a different on/off design :/

This bike has been a nightmare! Ive been having brake problems for 1.5 years. Thats from the time i got the bike. You cant replace the brakes because nothing is standard. There isn’t even a brand name on them. It took one previous bike shop 4 weeks to get the adapter to bleed the brake. They didnt fix the brake so i took it to another one and they actually found the leak in the hydraulic brake but cant fix it without the adapter!!!!!! Beware if you have to do maintenance!!!

The components on this bike are exactly the same as the ecotric. T ecotric snow Beach rocket bike is exactly the same frame and almost everything as the radrover but the Red Rover cost more and comes with a rack I think in a light that is better but if you're poor like me you can and the parts later like I did. I'm hoping to get an extra battery so I can go 60 miles I might ecotric Hammer instead of 30 and I can go camping with my Cannondale wagon tied to the rack. I never thought about turning on a three-wheel I like going 15 or 20 well mine can go 22 or faster it's supposedly a 1000 watt and probably a 750. I have been studying e-bikes for a while I think I got a really good deal on the ecotric hammer it is really heavy what is super heavy duty the frame is great the only have problem I have is the front end is a little loose where the bearings go and I can't fit a regular spacer I'm going to have to make one or something if you pull up on the handlebars and it moves not like the old handlebars that you can take me down with a screw on

[@LetArtsLive]

The drain the motor makes kind of a funny noise but I think it's supposed to hey. The brakes need better pads. But I can deal with it for less than $1,400 I got like 1600 into it now.
