The Most Versatile Electric Trike on The Market | Oh Wow Cycles - Conductor Plus Review

[@MrHankc1949]

I love this trike. At 75 and having not driven in 10 years. I was a little hesitant on getting on the road again but, I need to provide my own transportation now to the market, the doctor, etc. This vehicle fits the bill no matter what this cost.

[@Ennovation]

It is a pretty easy-riding trike, with plenty of power to get you where you're going, for sure. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

[@AmosBatto]

I wish that this model had a front suspension fork and suspension seat post, like the Oh Wow Cycles Conductor 4-2 Rickshaw, which is the same price. I'm hoping that other companies will start making similar convertible cargo trikes like this, because it is a fantastic idea.

[@superimposedtab]

I'm legally blind and I rely on an electric bicycle to get around but I'm starting to have balance issues. Looks like I found my next mode of transportation! Thank you for this wonderful review

[@Ennovation]

You are most welcome! I hope it serves you well in your life!

[@ZeusAndKiller]

I paid $3800 for my 2009 Prius in 2021. With 138000 miles and a brand new hybrid battery... That price is insane

[@Ennovation]

Electric trikes are a bit on the pricier side. Lots of factors, including larger and more engineered frames, the cost of shipping compared with the amount of trikes that can fit on a container, etc. Definitely a bit on the pricier side haha

[@L4teSh1ft]

I just sold my 2012 Fiat for 4k. With that money I will get a new bike with a couple 100 left over. I couldn't be happier. OK, maybe if I had a taco, then I'd be happier :)

[@Ennovation]

@@L4teSh1ft As someone who just ate a breakfast taco, I concur ;)

[@Ennovation]

@FentoZ That is true! Lots of benefits of an Ebike vs. a car.

[@Mike232-j2p]

​No bike would be used and lose value and your battery doesn't last foreve add the fact that you can't really ride in the rain and snow you're not going to get as much mileage you better think a little morer​@FentoZ

[@Esther_endures]

Been waiting for this review! So cool!

[@Ennovation]

It really is quite a unique trike! Way peppier than you'd think too, for having that size of a footprint.

[@buzzofftoxicblog791]

❤😊 Thank you. it looks like a good quality product. I love the design 😊

[@Ennovation]

Oh yeah! This thing is a really fun ride!

[@prospermulambia9514]

Suspension and canopy that can be mounted for rain weather if you consider that it will be good for deliveries am thinking my farm produce

[@Ennovation]

I know they're working on a canopy, and I've mentioned the full-suspension on their trikes after much testing on the Conductor 4|2. I think those would be excellent!

[@prospermulambia9514]

[@Ennovation]

Yeah I'm pretty stoked to see it in person when it's available.

[@noahziegler3478]

How did I get here? Lol I'm now obsessed with electric bikes

[@Ennovation]

I’ve been asking myself the same question for the last 6 years 😂😂😂

[@jordansmith693]

Great review! I can’t wait to store all of my secrets in there!!

[@Ennovation]

Glad to hear that! Yes, it’s got some of the best secret storing capabilities of any trike we’ve ever tested. And those are facts, Jack.

[@Rickswars]

I want this for tent camping and packing my camp food ice and drinks.

[@Ennovation]

That sounds like a cool use for this Trike.

[@velvetvideo]

there are excellent german bike trailers for camping...i've been shopping for months

[@tatiananaugolnykh]

Can it be used as a regular tricycle if needed, and how long does 1 charge charges or lasts? Thank You !

[@Ennovation]

It can be used as a regular trike if no battery is there. It'll be heavy, but it's doable. If you get the second battery option, you'll be looking at 100-120 miles of range on a single charge.

[@danaleanne38]

I live in Vancouver BC. How are they delivered? Do you have to put them together.? Is there a dealer in Canada ?

[@Ennovation]

I don't think there's a dealer in VC, but they do deliver from what I'm told.

[@tyronewashington610]

where do I get one?

[@Ennovation]

ohwowcycles.com/collections/all/products/conductor-plus-rickshaw

[@vincetur-rojas5638]

Very good concept. The video did not reveal top spees, and whether is street legal and maximum allowed weight. I'd like to see hydraulic brakes and suspension.

[@Ennovation]

Street legal depends on where you're at, so I'd check that with your local authority. Top speed is 28MPH. It does come with hydraulic brakes already, but suspension in the future versions would be really awesome! I will pass that along! I reached out to the owner to comment on top weight capacity, and will respond here when I hear back from him.

[@Ennovation]

475 pounds for max weight capacity.

[@UNKNOWN-un6nz]

Wish suspension. How far can it travel please?

[@danaleanne38]

Do you know if there is a bike seat option with a back rest .That's the only problem i see for myself .

[@Ennovation]

Well the nice thing about this platform is you can put any seat you want on here. So, you can get one on Amazon for $35-$50 that you can just install on the existing seatpost. So don't let that stop you ;)

[@TaitHoyem]

How is the clearance on those pedals hitting the cargo box? A consistent finding of those with big feet (I'm size 14) is that the heels will tick the foot rest of the passengers for most major trike manufacturers-reviews of both the SixThreeZero Rickshaw and BPM R750Z both mention issues with this.

[@Ennovation]

Now I'm no size 14 shoe, but I didn't have any issues on any of the Oh Wow Trikes (The Conductor Plus, or the 4|2) I think they have a much longer wheelbase than most of the smaller trikes that are pretty popular right now, so it's hard for me to imagine somebody hitting their feet on the cargo box. Both the sixthreezero and BPM are quite a bit smaller and have different geometry, so I don't think that'd be an issue.

[@shawangunk]

I am looking at the build quality and it is horrible I would like to point out the welds are no good Failed in the quality control department

[@KennethRhodes-e2l]

What is the torque in newton meters?

[@Ennovation]

Just checked with the company and they said it has 115Nm of torque, and I can confirm that this thing has some get-up-and-go! That number checks out with me.

[@KennethRhodes-e2l]

@@Ennovation thanks for the quick response. I have experience with 3 recumbent mid-drive builds. The 113nm torque with a 1000watt motor and 20” wheels sounds mighty fine indeed.

[@Ennovation]

Yeah and honestly, it had much more power than I expected for a trike, but she moved pretty quick.

[@AllDogsAreGoodDogs]

How wide is the trike?

[@Ennovation]

It's says about 22"/23" at its widest in the rear, but i think those are the internal dimensions of the rear seat. I would guess it's about 30"/31" total width in the rear.

[@globalnewssummary]

Looks really well done. Is there a way to test drive in LA?

[@Ennovation]

Just chatted with Ash (CEO) He said if you give them a call, he'll let ya test it! His phone number is [phone]

[@zenal6560]

do they have payment plans, what about Black Friday

[@Ennovation]

I believe they do. Worth a call into their hotline to find out what they can do for you!

[@homermcclain4599]

Do you have the hot line #

[@ToddDolce]

Yes,..but keep in mind that their Black Friday deal basically consists of the same trike at the exact same price but only its in all black.

[@mexicanwillis9426]

That is one of the best trike I've seen with a bit length fat tire it is a bargain

[@Ennovation]

I heard that!

[@evelynmarshall217]

Do you know if this trike is available in Australia? I really need one to drive my sister around

[@Ennovation]

I'm not 100% sure, but I'll reach out to the company and see if they can!

[@Ennovation]

I hear they do deliver it to Australia, but this version is 1,000 watts, so just want to double check your local regulations on Ebikes.

[@Only1Jenda]

I would like to see this take on the rough bumpy country side of Cambodia The students have to walk long miles to get to school

[@Ennovation]

That would be a wonderful use case:) I would also love to see that.

[@ojmardueno]

How much weight can it handle?

[@Ennovation]

Can handle up to 500lbs pretty easily!

[@fishbob1974]

Wonder if anyone knows how tall of an individual can sit comfortably in the rear seat?

[@Ennovation]

Anyone 6’ and under should be a great fit here.

[@brynagleich6223]

What is the minimum rider height? Can a 5 foot tall woman drive it?

[@Ennovation]

The nice things about trikes is they're very stable, so even if you're not touching the ground with both feet, it's stable and you can easily get on and off. 5'0" might be a little short for a "feet on the ground" experience, but I would be pretty confident that it would work.

[@MHH3180]

How Is the motor mounted?

[@Ennovation]

It's a 2-wheel, rear mounted motor on an open differential axel. Similar to how the XP Trike is mounted.

[@MHH3180]

@@Ennovation so, it behaves like a mid-drive? That is, through the drive train?

[@AmosBatto]

@@MHH3180, I have a rear wheel drive electric trike made by a Chinese company and they feel a little different from a mid-drive motor in my opinion. I really like rear wheel drive and definitely recommend it over front wheel drive for a trike.

[@juanmiguelmorales8825]

Cuando llega a Honduras

[@homermcclain4599]

Where are these made

[@Ennovation]

Like 98% of all Ebikes, they're manufactured in China. But the whole company, techs, owner, customer service folks, are all based out of California.

[@ac1888]

It pretty kool, but the welds on the rear box are a bit crude.

[@Ennovation]

Agreed! I think the welds on the future models are much improved. The unit we tested out was one of the first ones off the line, from their first batch, and so I expect the next version, which arrives in August, to be a bit more refined.

[@AmyFeldman]

How much ground clearance is there to lowest part of chain drive? Also, do you have an update on when they might come out with a 750W motor that makes this street legal without a motorcycle license?

[@Ennovation]

Has a little less than 5" of clearance on the bottom. So, pretty decent clearance for a trike. And the motor is 6" of clearance. The new 750-watt version should be in mid-august. I think they're currently taking pre-orders on those. Sounds like it's pretty popular, so would definitely recommend hopping on those pre-orders if this is the trike you're looking for.

[@UNKNOWN-un6nz]

Thanks sir. Can you tell me if the 750 w better than the current wattage please?

[@AmosBatto]

@@UNKNOWN-un6nz The current model with a 1000W rear wheel drive motor is more powerful, but a number of US states set a legal maximum of 750W for e-bikes. Legally you would need a motorcycle license to drive this with a 1000W motor, but most cops will never check the wattage of the motor. Amazon sells 750W stickers that you can slap on it to cover up the 1000W label. Realistically, as long as you ride your e-bike at a reasonable speed and follow normal traffic rules, you are unlikely to get stopped by the cops. However, the cops have been getting stricter in a few places (like New York City and the boardwalks of California coastal cities).

[@Mackdez]

These tribes are all over AliExpress, but it's probably going to cost you the same amount... To get it here through customs and everything. I would love rickshaw type of trike "they don't go uphill very good" at least with the weight I'm going to need to carry all the time.

[@Ennovation]

Well, Oh Wow actually has a new prototype they're playing around with that has dual 750-watt motors, a payload capacity of 1,500lbs and it's pretty awesome. I saw it at Micromobility America, and again this week at CES. That thing is a powerhouse of a trike. If you search Micromobility America Recap me and Tyson cover that first in our walkaround at the event from this year.

[@adrian_zombturtle148]

I feel like they should put in a different type of transmission in it like a gear box or a hub transmission

[@Ennovation]

Those would be excellent ideas to look at! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@johngulino2651]

The narrator could also mention that, as a convertible, with the seats, the pilot could carry kids or an adult, maybe two adults; with the cargo conversion, the trike could carry cargo, e.g., groceries, or one or even two large dogs. Video is rather uncritical, sort of a sales pitch. Might use an experienenced rider or a bike mechanic to take a more critical, objective view.

[@Ennovation]

That's fair. This was more of a video we did about the trike while at Electrify Expo, so we didn't get a chance to do a more in-depth, long-form review like we're used to. I appreciate you watching :)

[@labspeciman7402]

If I'm going to spend that kind of money I will buy a car.

[@Ennovation]

I hear ya. But in most places with this there’s no insurance, no license, no registration, no gas, etc. They would also have different use cases, I would imagine. But I hear ya! It’s definitely a decent chunk of coin.

[@exploreview8269]

Very costly

[@Ennovation]

It’s worth it though. Very unique vehicle.

[@MrAdamNTProtester]

Better to get a bike with more power & convert it with a tow along then give these dudes all your money & only have 50A battery capacity & a single hub motor to show for it... you can literally save $$$ & get twice the battery capacity & dual motors & still have almost 2 grand left over for the mods by passing on the $4 200 & only getting 50A & a single hub motor- anyone can fashion the chain tensioner out of a spring loaded pulley wheel... so really this is a massive mistake to spend that kind of cash for this thing

[@Ennovation]

Hey there! I appreciate your feedback! I think there are some good qualities here that you couldn't get from that setup you mentioned, but I'ma big fan of dual motors myself :P So I would love to see something like that.

This is the ugliest two colors I’ve ever seen on a bike. You guys need to do better with the colors. I want one but not with these colors.

[@Ennovation]

Hey Jerome! I’ll let the Oh Wow Cycles guys know they should look into some color options. For this type of bike, what colors do you think would be popular with people who are looking for a trike with this use case?

[@jeromewaites5364]

I would try to come out with four basic colors, red blue, black or white and if you want even throw a green

[@jeromewaites5364]

Also around the back you could easily hide those weld marks how they skipped with easy basic trim even some automotive stick on trim that would cover that all the way around

[@Ennovation]

Agree on those color option! This thing would look pretty slick in a nice blue or red! Also, good notes on the back welds. I’ll make sure and send that their way for R&D. I appreciate your feedback (and for watching the review!) ;)

[@Ennovation]

So I talked with the owner the other day and he said they've added matte black and matte green as color option on the next batch. So, looks like they're listening to the people!

[@NotLeftarded1]

I sure do wish someone would donate one of those to a broke father who'd drive his adult nonverbal autistic son around in it. One can dream. If I had the cash to blow I'd definitely buy one of these for me and my guy. Total value is what I see here. No gas , no insurance perfect for those of us on fixed incomes.

[@Ennovation]

I think that's a perfect use-case for this trike. Also, the Conductor 4|2 is another good option from Oh Wow that would work well.
