Sun Seeker EZ-3 HD Electric Trike Review - 2.3k

The Sun Seeker EZ-3 HD Electric Trike is a heavy duty electric trike designed to support up to 400 lbs of weight, powered by a 1,000-Watt peak gearless hub motor running off a 48 volt Lithium-ion battery pack. Open platform allows you to swap battery brands, adjust the top speed and amp flow to change performance vs. efficiency, large bright display panel is easy to work with. Delta layout (two wheels in the back) is easier to mount but rear-heavy, the front wheel can spin easier, there's no cargo rack and the battery covers both bottle cage bosses. The display panel isn't mounted as securely, the trike itself is heavy at 99 lbs, the front wheel flops to the side and requires more strength to steer at times, the suspension is basic with short-travel and minimal adjustment.

I've owned one for a few years. Your video has me wanting to electrify it!

[@gareatouai]

I got this bike 6 years ago with a Bionic motor setup to walk/run my big 110 pounds Malamute dog during the summer. Since the tires are very sleek, having the motor in front provide a bit more traction (2 wheels drive) to help you on a steep uphill on loose gravel, wet leaves or light snow. However, the need for a control arm on one side means that you need to keep control of the front wheel at all times and should never let go of the handle. I am very rough with it going off road and it still hold up. The middle bolt on the swing arm needs to be checked and tightened from time to time. Rear disc brakes are a must. The center of gravity is high on that bike, so you need to be careful to slow down to take sharp turns especially if a dog is pulling on the outside. I would recommend a rear derailleur with a shorter arm and adding a chain tensioner in front so that the chain hangs higher from the ground in the lowest gear and prevent it from scraping or bending it on uneven terrain, catch rocks or pack full of long grass or leaves.

Cool video. I have a non-electric version and changed over from the twist to bar end shifters. Makes a huge difference and would greatly benefit the electric setup on the handlebars.

[@rd2246]

Very well explained 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@georgeherman8826]

Man I really like this trike.

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

that trike is fantastic.

[@thomaspaluzzi2208]

LOOKS GREAT ! WHAT CARRIER IS BEST SUITABLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR TRIKE? WHAT BRAND CARRIER AND MODEL # NUMBER. THE TRIKE IS THE SUN SEEKER FZ-3 HD ELECTRIC TRIKE.

[@mudejartrainingnaturalscie6938]

What can we do to make it look less like a wheel chair?

[@strongblack4569]

Nice bike 👍

[@hoaquy9818]

Superb.

[@enricokitzler138]

please make a video about the Haibike sduro allmtn 8.0 😀

[@paullyle3461]

I enjoy your videos I also saw your sunseeker Fat Tad video I purchase one but found the company you dealing with there wouldn't sell me a motor for the trike said I had to be a dealer not much help for disable people when you research these custom trikes, It is what it is, Thanks😉😎🇦🇹

[@bradarmstrong1656]

Look up GRIN in Vancouver Canada. They are very competent and helpful with custom mods.

[@shelydon78]

Nice

[@ferryengr]

Great review. We ride The Loop multi-use trail in Tucson and see a lot of similar recumbent trikes, both pedal power and e-bike versions. They appear to be a great option for older riders and who knows, maybe I will need one some day.

[@danceswithcarsdc]

Who you calling OLD?

[@MarkCranerium]

Please review the electric Cruzbike if you have not already. I thank you.

[@rdkuless]

Court... Yes the Delta trikes (1 front 2 back) are comfortable...Yet..you have to be very careful when turning and braking as they tend to be unstable and tip over. The Tadpole (2 back 1 front) are very stable because your weight is lower and in between the front wheels. Hope you and Mony are doing well. :)

[@3rty7]

really cool, built for me.. nz 3200.00 .. i'd need to build a trailer for it tho.

[@tomthumb9839]

99 pounds, WOW. Would it break if I rode it?

[@FlygirlFunnyLady]

Could a person sit on this first and then sling leg over?. I have a bum right knee but a strong core and upper body strength. I am heavy but not 400 but need a cardio alternative with my issue

[@jonreese5346]

yes much easier

[@workingonwise]

I've had one for a few years, and in general, I like it. But, be VERY careful when going from lower to higher surfaces, usually from a sidewalk to grass. When you are in a the larger 2 cogs in the rear, the rear derailleur is an inch or less off the ground. I bought my trike used with a destroyed derailleur, and destroyed 2 more. It is the one thing I hate about it, because if you damage that derailleur, the best you can hope for is to get it into a gear that allows you to limp home. That trike on a dead battery and single speed is a miserable ride. Also, heed the warnings about it coming up on 2 wheels. It's no joke, and once you're up, it's even easier to flip over completely. It's NOT a high performance or high speed ride, so don't treat it like one and it'll serve you quite well. I describe mine as "a couch on 3 wheels". Super comfortable!

[@eeb8267]

I’m guessing by getting it on 2 wheels you mean the front and one rear? I’m looking to add it to mine because it’s so damn heavy.

[@angthanhnguyen2093]

That tuyet voi.

[@novacolonel5287]

Are there no sidewalks?

[@workingonwise]

Even if there were, I think they want to be as safe as they can, and it's been proven over and over that a cyclist is safer on the street than on sidewalks.

[@EcoSpeeder]

Any motorized bike should have pedal gearing that allows the rider to add power at the full speed potential of the motor.

[@EcoSpeeder]

--This simple low-tech concept will make every electric bike 40-80 % faster / more efficient. Just a matter of re-working the gear system for motorized. I put a 52t front sprocket on my ole school 43cc motorbike so I can pedal with the motor past 18 mph for instance.

[@EcoSpeeder]

--I can pedal with it up to a about 25 now and it top ends at about 43mph. If I could pedal with the motor up to 40 mph, the bike would hit 50mph not problem.

[@lotan9709]

1:02c.
