I like mine.. geared Bfang 750 watt mid drive.. easy forty miles with level one assist 9 kw battery.. (rated 14) not sure I need the four inch tires.. 2.75 would be just fine.. Hate the fenders that I ordered for it from Utah Tikes.. they rub at every bump and you have to move your handle bars back.. I basically had to re design re weld the mounts to be higher and not interfere with the handle bars.

Yes! This is the one I want! All decked out out too. This needs to be my commute trike. I won't be doing any off road stuff but there are frost heaves along part of the route that I take. (maybe they'll finally reoave it this spring?) does the fender on the back fit the bigger rear wheel upgrade? Also I would like the rear wide wing rack thing you guys have on the site. Like I'll be transporting a medium sized suitcase and a medium cooler to my garage where I pick up my motorcoach bus to drive on long trips.
@mardiffv.87754 жыл бұрын
I use my Fat Trike (ICE brand) also for commute, shopping, visiting Mom and even I go on holiday/ tour with it. A rear fender is necessary, or mud and water droplets are on the back of your head and neck. I extended the fender with an Ass Saver and it works well. So, Robert, buy your Fat Trike and have fun 100 %.
@SmokinPaul4 жыл бұрын
Those wing racks only hold like 20 to 25 lbs. :-( I want the racks but I'm wondering if they can add a brace coming from the frame where the shock mounts. Maybe an extension of the frame tube, then another small tube coming down attaching to the rear inner part of the rack to allow more weight and less torsion on the rack.
@RobertMcClure4 жыл бұрын
I mean I can pack a suitcase worth of clothes in pannier bags I just figured with the wing racks I could just bungee cord what I need to it. Worst case scenario I get a trailer but I would need a strong motor for that.
@SmokinPaul4 жыл бұрын
@@RobertMcClure I want to mount large 52v 14S7P, maybe larger, battery packs on the wings plus some miscellaneous items. The wings have an attachment on the front and about a 1/3 of the way back. That's lots of stress on the rest of it and why it can't handle a lot of weight. With a little modification it could be vastly improved.

Hey there, I see on your site you list the cxs Ackerman arms for $60. Is this the only part I need other than a shorter tie rod? I just bought a cxs fat tad new in Minnesota and had sealed bearings and upgraded idlers installed. Also I'm a big guy, 275 lbs. I picked the trike up today and it hardly steers. I'm going to realign it tomorrow with me sitting on it. Love the videos. When will you post the video showing how to do the Ackerman arm addition? I will be calling some to order parts Thanks

I'm loving the fat tires, seems like they would have had a lot of suspension.
@mardiffv.87754 жыл бұрын
Yes and no, it depend on......inflation. With low inflation of 1.0 bar/ 14 psi or less, YES, good suspension. But it comes at a price; higher rolling resistance of the tires. I ride my Fat Trikes mainly on the pavement, I inflate them to 1.5 bar/ 21 psi. So my FT rides almost like a normal tire trike. But my FT bounces like a basketball, so I like suspension. Or I ride the no suspension FT on smooth pavement.

I'm so glad I found it and that you guys set it up and upgraded key parts like the idlers and steering bearings. I think I'm gonna want front fenders cause my hands got cold from puddle spray and maybe a larger rear wheel. Will the UT custom extensions accommodate a 27.5 rear wheel?
