Lectric Trike Review

[@GrannyJanny1951]

I just ordered one. Love your video! I'm 72, and need to get out and about . I'm in Fort Myers. I learned alot today from you, thank you!

[@lynnann96]

74 here and mine just arrived today! Can’t wait to get out on it.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I hope you like it!!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I’m sure you will like it. It takes a few minutes to get used to turning because you don’t lean like you do on a 2 wheel bike. But it’s stable and has great utility with the baskets!

[@DavidSmith-vw6kl]

I’m 90 and my first ride on this trike was a bit of an adventure. A few days later I took a long ride around the neighborhood and I felt much more in control. There have been complaints about the bike arriving with various kinds of damage. Mine came with just some minor bending of the fenders which was easily fixed. A great trike for the price.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Wow...I certainly applaud you for getting out and doing some bike riding. Those bikes travel a long way to get to you so as long as there is nothing major, I count it as a successful delivery. 😀 Continued happiness with your trike!!

[@DavidMiller-ss3nb]

Hi John I have been following your channel for a couple of years and learned a lot. We also live in West Virginia-Martinsburg. I am a big guy also at about 270. I was one of the first to order the Lectric Trike and got mine in early May. I now have over 280 miles on the Trike and really love it! I have not had any problems or even close calls. The trike has two modes on it. If you go to settings and P 22, you can change the setting to 001 instead of 000. That makes the trike go faster quicker, and with the full power of the motor which can get up to just under 1100 W. The trike comes with the lower wattage as a method by which people can get used to the trike without endangering themselves. The trike also comes with a rear differential which answers the tipping issue. I have taken 0:39 0:39 my trike up and down hills on streets and trails, around corners on roads that were slanted and never had a real problem tipping. My wife expresses the same concern as you did, but I can assure you it is hard to tip that trike over. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them. .

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi David…it’s great to hear from a fellow West Virginian! I often wonder how many of us watch the channel. I do know of another lady that lives in Grafton that watches. I used to travel through Martinsburg at least once a week for work years ago. I can’t believe how much it has grown over the years. Thanks for the tips on the trike. The way it’s set up is good for my Mom right now but I’ll remember how to bump up the power when she gets more comfortable. It is a different feeling than a two wheeler but I’m sure you get used to it. Lectric has always had a pretty powerful 500 watt motor. I love making videos and hope to keep making them better and better while showing the great WV outdoors. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a message…I really do appreciate it! Happy riding and have a great day!!

[@traciemac9533]

I love mine but the leaning drives me crazy so this is good to read that while it may feel tippy, it likely won't tip. I haven't had any close calls either and have tight turns going up hills on my route to work. I use it as a car replacement to make the 10 mile ride to work. lots of hills and uneven trails.

[@frankshattuck1975]

I am 80 and am very satisfied with my trike. My speed is about the same as you but I use it mostly only throttle and seldom use PAS under 5. I use it as a car replacement. I live in a town of 50,000 in central texas and seldom ride over 7 miles a day

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I'm happy to hear that you are satisfied with your trike. I had one comment saying that they bought 2 trikes and both had berring problems so people should stay away from them. I don't know how that happened but it's good to hear that you have had a good experience.

[@traciemac9533]

Have had this bike for a few months. You definitely have to get used to the leaning. I ride on a rough trail and really slow down because I get nervous as well. There are settings to allow it to go a bit faster and also to start a bit faster when using the throttle. I ride it on pedal assist 3 as well. that is the most comfortable. I have to go up a very steep hill to get home. you really have to pedal. the throttle just isn't enough esp. when you're heavier. Also I ran into a situation where the bike overheated due to using the throttle for about 20 minutes. The company said just let it rest for 10 to cool off. I rarely use the throttle now and rely on pedaling at assist 5 when going up hill. It's good exercise for me at 53.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi Tracie! Sorry it took so long to get back to you but sometimes life happens! Getting to know your ebike does take a little time whether it is a trike or 2 wheeled bike. Motors can get hot so it's not great to max them out for extended periods. That is why I prefer riding my bike that has a 750watt motor. I have 4 other ebikes that have 500watt motors and they are fine for flatter roads and trails but my 750 watt motor bike suits me better with my heavy weight and being in West Virginia with hilly conditions. The bigger motor doesn't have to strain as much as the smaller motor. I really wish and hope that they will give an option for a bigger motor in the trikes at some point.

[@AnnaSchmidt-h5t]

I'm 80 and haven't been able to ride my regular bicycle for a few years my daughter and her husband have electric bikes and enjoy them. I want to get back to riding and asked my daughter to check you out and says you'd looks pretty good so I'm hoping to get your bike!!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but sometimes, life happens. But I'm glad you are looking into getting a bike. This trike belongs to my mother who is about your age and it is really great. I don't know if you have gotten one yet but when you do, take your time and go slow with it because it does have a slight learning curve compared to a 2 wheeled bike. But I feel that it will work out well for you as it has my mother.

[@Harley0916]

Im very happy with my lectric xp trike mine went up to 18 mph at PAS 5 … i believe it depends on rider weight too

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I'm glad to hear that you are having a great experience with your trike! Top speed is definitely impacted by rider weight, road conditions, air pressure in your tires, and whether you are on flat or hilly terrain.

[@NicolaeOlteanu-ju9rr]

În.rominia.cind la.ce.pret.as.vrea.una

[@JessicaSeymour-pd9ct]

Yes. I’m about 167 and I got it to 14 on pedal assist 3 without the throttle but not going uphill. Love my lectric trike!

[@dondegraff2005]

I wish I didn't have to write this review. These Lectric XP trikes are cheaply built in our view. I bought two of them in July of 2023, by October both bikes have a bad axle bearing on the rear. This is with only neighborhood rides and no speed above 2. total miles on one is 117 and on the other 102. We asked for help from "Lectric" but was told that this bearing is not repairable and Lectric e-bikes said to send them back to see if we could get new ones. We live over a thousand miles away. They refused any help with shop manuals or tech support, just send them back. We have the bikes setting in our garage if anyone wishes to verify. Sorry. Don and Jenny

[@jackm6307]

Thank you very much for the review, and the more you review it, the more people you will very likely save from making a big mistake. One bad bearing is one thing, but two that went bad in the same way on different identical trikes, around the same time, and in only a few months is a HUGE red flag. I'm convinced and this will end my research into this bike as a prospect. Keep up the good work.

[@Kabuterrible]

Is there any way a local repair shop could replace the axle bearing? Asking for clarification purposes as I would like to see what options there are.

[@orvjudd1383]

You might want to go go and a good bike shop and work out out a deal with Lectric to cover warranty costs.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I know this sounds very bad but this is the first I've heard of any Lectric bike having this type of problem. I have no dog in the hunt when it comes to making Lectric sound good as a company but I've always had great experiences with their customer service. This is about the only company where you can actually talk to an English speaking person that you can understand and they usually request a picture of the problem and send out a whole new part, free of charge. The trike might be a little different and more expensive but there is a lot more to the way a trike is set up compared to a two wheel bike. But I've heard of people having trouble with the hub motor and Lectric sent them a whole new wheel with the hub motor attached free of charge. They should be able to do that for your situation.

[@LordChastened-hl7ke]

Totally off the subject, pardon my technological ignorance, but how are you able to feel like that without the selfie stick being visible? The video looks incredible! Like it was taken with a drone. Is there a particular type of phone or particular type of selfie stick?

[@raylrodr]

What abandoned railroad is that you're riding on? I ordered a trike which was delivered in 9 days! No damage on mine. I've only ridden it once around the yard as the intense March winds just won't slack off. Anxious to get it out to our local state park!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi @raylrodr…I appreciate you stopping by!! This particular rail trail is called White Oak Rail Trail in Oak Hill West Virginia. I believe it was once owned and operated by the B&O railroad. I didn’t ride the full length in this video but it is a very nice rail trail and runs through a park, outskirts of the town and ends in the countryside.

[@karenm.welter5351]

Thanks for the review John. A friend of mine purchased the trike but hasn't had a chance to ride much. I'll send link to her so she can see your review. I enjoyed it as I've been curious about the trike. Thanks so much!!!😊👍🙏

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi Karen! I’m glad you liked the video and thanks for passing it on. There are a few idiosyncrasies about the bike that people should know. My Mom thought something was wrong with her bike until I rode it and found out what the problem was. It’s a different way you ride the trike as compared to a two wheeler. Thanks again and take care!!😃

[@orvjudd1383]

This trike is really intended for people with balance or mobility issues. My wife B loves hers.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

That is true. They are made to ride nice and easy with the option of being able to haul a lot of stuff with the built in crates.

[@larryware1]

Excellent review. I'm considering one of these since having a bad accident on my Magicycle Cruiser. Thank you for your honest insights!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Thank you very much! I do like it and would get one if I couldn't ride the 2 wheeler bike. Thanks for stopping by.

[@heyjohnboy]

Great video. Thanks! What did you use to shoot it? And how did you remove your selfie stick from the video? Nice touch!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Thank you very much! I use a chest mounted DJI camera for the POV shots and an Insta360 for the other shots. Both cameras are listed in the links in the description of the video. The Insta 360 automatically takes the selfie stick out of the shot when the 2 180 degree cameras are stitched together to create the video. It's pretty neat how it works.

[@goldenseal50]

Looks like I missed a few videos, but at least KZbin threw this one up for me. Good review. I saw another review of a couple who went to the store in Arizona, they didn't buy the trike but a different Lectric. Another reviewer did a 4 way comparison, with Lectric trike coming in second to the Rad trike. His mother picked the one that felt most stable so if your mother decides this is a no go she might try the Rad. All that being said a lot of people in my Lectric facebook group are loving this trike with zero complaints. Okay, looks like I have some of your past videos to catch up on. 😛

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi @goldenseal ! I’d say it is my fault you haven’t seen some of my past videos. Because I went so long between videos for a time, the KZbin computer stopped pushing them out. The key is for me to get back to posting more often so KZbin will like me again😂. This was a good trike in my opinion. They take a little bit of time to get used to and lack the power of the two wheeler. But there is a comment under this video where a man was telling me that you can bump the power up on the computer. I do feel like it is very stable and would trust it wholeheartedly. It was great hearing from you again! Have a great day!!

[@billthomas2431]

If you haven't ridden a trike before putting your foot on the ground puts you at risk of running over the back of your leg. Keep this in mind if you're new to trikes . Currently I'm gaining interest in mobility scooters. And there's some pretty bitchen stuff out there and you can ride it in most stores. Good review, Thanks

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Thank you for the information. I just wish I had read this before I ran over my leg with the back wheel! 😂 Funny thing is, I had a mobility scooter company reach out to me to do a review on one of their scooters. I actually have it at my house and need to get a video about it done as soon as possible. Maybe that review will help out?

[@billthomas2431]

I have a mobility scooter, golden model GB120 GB120 carry on. I like it 🍻

[@xtremefight]

I don't think either of us are ready for that much leisure in our riding and it will be a sad day when it comes. I do have a friend who picked up a couple of Lectric trikes for her and her husband and they're very happy with them. They're in our age group but arthritic and without these, they wouldn't be out and about at all.

[@shharmon6370]

I fell over on the 2 wheeler. We have 2 two wheelers and now these 2 trikes. I felt like I’d be less likely to fall over with the trike. 😅

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi @xtremefight ! I agree with you…I’m still good with my 2 wheelers and Hope to still have a lot of years left on them. I love being able to squeeze through small places and hit the off road areas from time to time. But the trikes do have their place and I’m for anything that allows people to get out and enjoy biking 😃. Happy riding and have a great one!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I believe that with some practice the trike will do well for you. They are very stable…you just have to hang on and trust that they won’t flip.

[@jackhouran8851]

Looks like the trike is still in beginner mode.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

It might be. But I don’t believe I’d ever need or want to go faster on a trike.

[@Donna230]

Hello. I got this bike a couple weeks ago. I'm enjoying mine, although your results may have varied. Thanks.

[@davidmartin6273]

You didn’t read the instructions about the speed being regulated at first for training purposes so a new rider doesn’t kill themselves. Riding a tricycle, electric or not requires a different mindset when riding. After 4-5 miles you get the hang of it. My Lectric trikes for my wife and myself came last august. I’ve put a couple hundred miles on mine and find it absolutely wonderful. My wife doesn’t have a problem either. The bike will go at 13.7 to 13.8 all the time if you adjust the computer in the instructions. I have had zero problems other than a flat tire caused by a stone that was shaped like a dagger. Glad my car or truck didn’t find that rock first. My wife and I are in our mid 70’s and we are not light weight folks either. We love our Lectric Trikes and so glad that we purchased them. Tell your mother to get out on it and get use to it. Need to stay out of gutters with just one rear wheel. We have never tipped over but a deep gutter will give you the feeling that you might tip. Never have yet. We have ridden 22 miles with no pedaling, battery only, and still had a good deal of battery in reserve. I have had my trike up to 25-26 miles an hour downhill. That’s a little faster than I really care to go. The power in the motor is exceptional. I went up a steep incline out of a marina on the Hudson River which was about 50+ degrees. It carried my heavy butt up that hill with no pedal assist at about 8 miles an hour. I was very impressed.

[@janetmaschek3001]

Thx was curious about the trike. But I like my lectric step through

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi Janet! I agree with you. If you do well on a two wheeler I’d stay with it as long as possible. The trike has its good points but lacks the ability to ride anywhere.

[@paulbouldin6677]

In the manual (only available online at Lectric’s site) it shows you how to change settings in an additional page on the LCD. It will allow you to change the top speed on each pas setting. And how quickly the trike gets up to speed. I have changed mine to the highest setting and I obtained a top speed of 17-18 with throttle alone. This is a new model and you have to keep in mind that Lectric is going to have some growing pains. My suggestion is wait a year and let them fix the problems. Also, there is a learning curve riding any trike. It will lean on any sloped surface. You as the rider will need to lean into opposite side of the lean. Otherwise, your brain will tell you that you are falling over. Fear not, you wont fall over, it just feels that way. I owned a Harley Davidson Trike and it felt the same way. I have grown to like this trike. For the money, its fantastic! Spend more money and you will get more options on the trike this doesnt have. No front suspension is something I would of liked to have on mine. If the road isnt smooth, it will impact on your handlebars.

[@elliestretchprays7851]

Mine arrived yesterday, so far I haven’t noticed any damage from shipping. It came with a nice manual which I’m reading before riding. I’ve cleaned the disk on the brakes. Front was clean, rear had some grease. Glad I watched a variety of videos showing to do this.

[@gaarcemail]

All trikes lean, it's natural for a tricycle, unless it has a leveling system that would allow the seat and the handlebar to automatically lean the other way, to balance it. I'd say that would probably make the bike pretty expensive.

[@garydill8821]

Hi John and Lisa, That looks like a really neat trike. So far we will stick to two wheels. Up here in Painesville Ohio it has been raining seems like every other day. We are still waiting for our Lectric XP 3.0. which we ordered only over a week ago. They will e delivered to our local dealer first. They said that they have seen some black XP 3.0 with faulty rear inner tubes that leak when they were setting them up. So we will see. We hope everything is going well for you and your family. We love watching your videos. We haven’t seen any newer videos for a while. Maybe you are having lousy weather too or too busy. We fully understand. Next week here the weather shows mid sixties and near 70 on one day. Well God bless and ride safely.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

We apologize for being gone for so long. We've had a lot happening within my extended family over the last few months and we've just not been able to take time to record any rides for a while. I hope that will change as soon as the weather gets a little better. We will explain in more detail on our next riding video. But we are happy to have everything straight and able to get back to making videos! I hope you received your bikes in good condition. Let me know what you think of them!

[@alaskatundrakid]

I am in my mid 70's and I have this trike, riding any trike is very different from a bike. Just have to ride them to get use to them, and at my age, speed is not my thing any way. This is only a 500 wt motor, I also have the liberty trike, they have a 750 wt motor. BUT my balance is what is keeping me on the trike.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I would rather have a 750 watt motor for the roads here in WV too but this is a pretty good trike for the money. The town my mother lives in is flat enough that this bike would do fine.

[@danzuelch]

Well John, with 65 coming next week, I hope I don't need 3 wheels anytime soon!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Happy early Birthday @danzuelch 😃. You should be good for a while…I’m thinking the same thing about me too😂. I like the 2 wheel ones too much right now.

[@garydill8821]

Hi John, we recently have subscribed to your channel because we have been looking at Lectric bikes. We ordered 2 Lectric XP 3.0 Long Range step thru. The step through is more easier for my wife to get onto having some hip issues. Unfortunately we have full size electric bikes from Canada which she doesn’t feel totally stable on. We live in Painesville Ohio and and went to Geneva State Park a week ago. We saw the video when you guys went there and rode the trails. We love all you videos and that you guys are so relaxed and easy going. We wish we lived closer and ride with you guys.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Thank you for subscribing to our channel. We apologize for being gone for so long. We've had a lot happening within my extended family over the last few months and we've just not been able to take time to record any rides for a while. I hope that will change as soon as the weather gets a little better. We will explain in more detail on our next riding video. But we are happy to have everything straight and able to get back to making videos! You are just a hop, skip, and a jump from Geneva on the Lake! My uncle and aunt have a house on the lake there and we were there to visit. We usually visit there once or twice a year. Maybe we can meet up sometime when we are up that way.

[@timbuckingham6734]

The left brake lever needs to be moved back about 1/2", otherwise on a hard bump you can cut your index finger knuckle. Also I have found that you can get 10 to 12 mpr in level 3, current draw is 3to 4 volts in level 4 it's 7 to 8 volts so for me it's not worth the lost distance for the small amount of extra speed. I'm in your weight range & 6'1" do a run in pas 3 you will find it will do the same 11ish mpr.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Hi Tim! Thanks for the information! As I mentioned in the video, this was my first ride on my mother's trike so i hadn't taken time to make all the adjustments you mentioned. I personally don't have a trike but I do have 5 different ebikes and i always take time to adjust everything from the brakes to the controls on the handlebars to make sure its totally comfortable before I go on a lengthy ride for the first time. You're comment is great for those just getting into ebiking to be able to optimize their riding experience. 😀👍

[@earlinesblack1361]

I love 💕 my Trike BUT I’ve had so much trouble and I was enjoying it so much,got it in July rode it about a hundred miles and then the trouble started ,my trike has down since the last of July,I’m so upset 😭 because I enjoyed my Trike so much,so sad 😢 in Miami Florida 😢

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

What happened to your trike? Was it the motor or something else?

[@orvjudd1383]

You might want to add bar end mirrors and a horn or bell.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Mirrors will be added soon. This was recently purchased by my mother and hadn't been taken out of the driveway until I did my test ride on it. I use bar end mirrors on all my bikes. They work well and rotate out of the way when you store the bikes. I believe this bike does come with a bell.

[@jgbarre]

Scary to ride…even more scary with a motor!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

You would think so but it is surprisingly stable at a reasonable speed. Just because it has a motor on it doesn't make it any more dangerous in my opinion. Just set the pedal assist on 1 and you won't go much faster than 5 miles an hour which is just about jogging speed. You can also ride it without the motor's help by putting the pedal assist to 0 and then it is a regular bike so you can get used to it.

[@michaelmarden5725]

Hi look good thank for the information about riding the trike me have two wheel I’m got arthritis and feel under safe riding it after come ing of my electric bike so looking at you rid the trike sim more staple and your voice about riding it you make me feel safe with not putting feet down with the TRIKE THEN WITH TWO WHEEL IMIN UK ENGLAND THANKS FOR THE VOICE MICHAEL

[@56CrownVick]

I don't think you could outrun a dog that's chasing you. Good Video!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Not with the way it’s set up now!🤣 A man left a comment under this video and said you can change some settings in the computer to bump up the power. I’m not sure how much but I’ll have to look into that a little bit. It’s good to hear from you @56crownVick ✌️

[@user-nj4xw7lr9r]

They can go 30 mph. They can outrun some mutt!

[@janetmaschek3001]

Hope yall are ok. Havent seen any videos .Merry Christmas yall

[@pedrofernandez8729]

Something is wrong, he has not responded to any comments since 3 mos ago, right after this video was released.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

But we are happy to have everything straight and able to get back to making videos!

[@dedwin8930]

backwardsDoes it have reverse? Can u pedal backwards?

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

There is no reverse on this trike as with all 2 wheeled bikes. You can push backward with your feet while on the seat or you have to get off and push it backwards. It didn't pose any issue for me when I rode the trike but I guess that could be an issue for people that can't touch the ground while seated or have trouble getting on and off. But there are very few times that you would need to back up while out on a ride in my opinion. The pedals pedal backward exactly like a 10 speed bike...they go backward without moving the bike.

[@davidbuckwitz5408]

Price?????

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Lectric is always running specials so I don't like to mention exact price. But since you ask, it is listed for $1,587 on the website but it is currently marked down to $1,499.

[@flowgood123]

I wonder why they didnt do a reverse trike to be more stable?!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Very good point! That is a great idea so I'm not sure why I haven't seen that type around.

[@Mike-xg7cs]

How about charging the battery?

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

What do you mean? Was this battery not charged all the way? If not, then I should have charged it more but I knew I wasn't going to ride very far. It had enough charge that it was operating nicely. The battery can be taken out of the bike or charged while it is in the bike. There is a charger with it that you plug into a wall outlet.

[@lynnann96]

How hard is to just peddle it with no assist?

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

It’s similar to riding a regular bike. Because it has 3 wheels and is a little heavier than a 2 wheel bike it’s a bit harder. If you are on fairly level ground it’s not bad at all. My 70 something mother can pedal it without the battery pretty well on flat ground.

[@whyme3286]

I like that that buggy on the street! If you did that in Kalifornia they would arrest you and throw you in jail and confiscate your buggy!

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

That is a normal occurrence here in West Virginia. We have trails all over the state and cops pretty much look the other way and leave them alone. You can actually be legal here and get them registered with license plates as if they were motorcycles. Most people don't go through all that though.

[@charlessamuel3963]

Too many reviews complaining about damage upon delivery for me to buy. Why do videos even show Lectric Trikes?

[@195511SM]

Start with the price.....and then I'll decide wether or no to sit thru the rest of the video.

[@kingchaosification]

Pas 5 top speed is 14 your tike is in beginner mode

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Lectric doesn't say anything about a beginner mode. I know that you can unlock the Lectric 2 wheel bikes. But to be honest, I don't think I'd want to go any faster on this trike than it already goes. I don't think these are made for speed.

[@wtopp345985]

Just take the wrapping off, you can't see anything with that on.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Wrapping? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

[@garyag45]

👍😎🦅🇺🇸

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@RandyAlford-n7z]

I would like to have a phone #,so I can talk to a salesman if you want to sell the trike

[@pedrofernandez8729]

This channel is pretty much inactive, no videos or responses in over 3 mos.

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

We are back!!! Sorry for the long layoff but we've had some things to work through on our end. I hate that it's been so long but we will be back posting again shortly.

[@mak675]

I don't really think this reflects the true info about this bike. Everything I have read indicates that it takes a bit of time to get used to riding any trike, not just this one. His mother doesn't seem to ride often or far. He doesn't appear to have much experience on a trike either. He mentioned topping out at 12 or 13 mph. Like he admitted again, about 1/3 of the way through, he weighs 290 lbs. You can bet it's going to go slower than the 14 mph the company advertises. He's only about 30 lbs. less than the bike's limit. How many times do you have to mention tipping over???

[@ReflectionsofOurLife]

I can see that you are one of those people that only looks for the downside of things. You are right...this was my first time riding a trike as I believe I stated toward the beginning. First of all, we have 4 Lectric brand ebikes and love every one of them but they are of the 2 wheel type. My mother, who hasn't ridden a bike since she was a young girl, bought this bike and felt unsteady on it. That was the reason I was riding it in the first place. She didn't want to be a part of this video. I was helping her get used to it and thought I'd take it out for a spin and see how it handled. The bike arrives with a governor that maxes out at 14 or 15 miles an hour and that is what Lectric advertises on their website. I was able to just about reach that speed. When talking about speed and handling I always say that I'm in West Virginia (with hills) and a big guy which both contributes to the riding experience. I do have a lot of experience on ebikes and have been riding them for 3 or 4 years but this was my first trike. I wanted to show how sturdy it was and how hard it would be to tip over being my size and with uneven roads. I wanted to show that even with those problems, it still rode well and would be better for lighter people and those in flatter states. That is why I kept mentioning the issue of tipping over! Most people know that might be an issue so I wanted to stress how it felt. But thank you for giving me an excuse to explain all of that.

Avoid these. Crappy shipping box. If you manage to get 1 that isn't damaged, you're lucky. When you do receive a damaged, YOU have to assume ALL documentation. Love to spend money on a new product with dented fenders, bent rims only to be told I HAVE TO BOX IT UP FOR RETURN?? WTF? You're money will spend globally, choose wisely. Avoid this company. Customer service is B A D!

Lectric's customer service is bad?? I've heard nothing but the best for it until this post. My family and I have received 6 bikes from Lectric and have never received one that was damaged. All companies can't be perfect and there most likely will be issues with every company out there. But I've heard many stories of Lectric sending out new parts free if they are damaged or broken. I'm sorry about your experience.

Disappointed in your lack of research into the trike. You were riding in beginners mode the trike comes from the factory. Everything is limited.. The battery info is shown in every feature sheet.

I'm disappointed that you didn't pay attention to the beginning of the video when I mentioned that this bike belongs to my mother who was worried about the stability of the bike when riding. I was not given or paid to do a manufacturer's version of a review. My aim sir, was to basically look it over since I hadn't seen one yet and ride it to figure out if I thought it was safe to ride for my older mother. This bike does 15mph out of the box and I would NEVER tell anyone to ride it any faster than that. Although it does feel safe, I can see where it could possibly tip over if you are going much faster than that in certain instances. As a family, we have 4 ebikes from Lectric and I, as most people who are into Lectric bikes, know how to bump up the speed on their bikes. The website shows everything that you are looking for.
