I rode a Recumbent Electric Trike - The Sun Seeker

My friend with the modded Rad Mini also has an E-trike that his wife rides. Its a "SunSeeker" brand and he added a bigger battery pack, two rear 20x4 tires and custom fenders.

Great video. I got one of these a few years ago for $300 and after a little research found a spin on 9 gear rear cassette and added thumb shifters for the ends of the handlebars.

You said about 3:09 into this video "GIVE IT SOME GAS". I thought this bike run on solar power.

Wow❤❤❤❤

Trikes with 2 rear wheels much easier to get on/off than trikes with 2 front wheels! Plan ahead. We are all getting younger! Even get on/off from a wheelchair if necessary!

[@dronepilotflyby9481]

To anyone looking for the same model trike, find an earlier model with thinner road tires. It will be much faster.

Hi, only thing keeping me from a recumbent is the steep price. I have put 80cc 4 stroke motors on them. It's beautiful.

His wife loves it, much more stable riding for her.

@Hooly Dooly State & Federal cops can kiss my ass. As usual they have no idea about what they're talking about.

[@Saddletramp1200]

@UC0Is3VfxX4jUh-vffovreEg I understand. I have a trike made by Schwinn. I have fitted it with a 203mm disk brake hydraulic system on the front wheel. I have fitted a 160mm rotor with a hydraulic brake from a motorcycle on the right rear axle. In the middle there's a 212cc 4 stroke motor. The police have never stopped me. I don't ride stupid. The whole thing can be built for under 1000.00. I built it because my friends said it wouldn't work. I don't know how fast it will go. But it rides and stops well from 25 mph.

No peddle assist?

[@jasonbarthel4155]

Any idea of what the black bike he was riding is? I like that one too!! Thanks

[@ChrisCrossed]

That was a Rad Mini

[@hahafalseflag5090]

Do yo have a link to the motor kit?

[@ChrisCrossed]

I don’t

[@CrazyTruckinS10]

Looks like you could drive right under pick up trucks hahahaha

[@ChrisCrossed]

Definitely! Lol

[@michaelritchie7139]

You need a radio and a cup holder

[@ChrisCrossed]

Xbox too lol

I'd have nowhere to ride a recumbent. No paths are wide enough. No safe bike lanes. No bike lanes wide enough. Other than riding in very very lightly populated town/village/hamlet streets it would just sit in the garage. For me there is absolutely no reason why I would ride a recumbent rather than a bike.

Plus it's so low that most drivers won't see you coming from the back or the side. Not to mention getting bitten by dogs.
