Choosing the right Electric Tricycle can be a difficult decision. How much power do I need, how big of a battery, will I be able to turn ok, can it get me up hills. In this video, I describe the three things I've learned since owning an electric trike and what I'd wish I'd known before purchasing. All electric trikes are not created equal and there are different features that I didn't even know about. Four of the most important features that can vary from trike to trike are the motor, battery, tires and overall design. But there are really three things I wish I had known before buying an electric trike.
Number one, electric trikes ride differently than a two wheel bicycle. Now this seems obvious but we've done hundreds of test rides at sixthreezero with riders of various ages and it's always an adjustment when people get on an electric tricycle for the first time. The way an e trike steers is just so much different from a two wheel bike. A two wheel bicycle you lean your body to direct the bike in the direction you want it to go. An electric tricycle doesn't work that way, you must steer the handlebars to go in the direct you want to go. We've witnessed many riders who start to lean on a trike thinking it will steer them the way they want to go but then realize the electric tricycle isn't going in the direction they want it to. That's because you have to steer. It may take some getting used when you get on an e trike for the first time but after a few rides you'll have the hang of it.
Second thing I wish I knew was not all electric tricycles are created equal. There are different motor sizes, battery sizes, tire sizes, riding positions and cargo baskets. It's important to try and match up your desired riding with the specs you choose. Also it's important to realize that the specs you choose will dictate the price of your electric tricycle. A larger battery will last longer on rides, but will also cost more money. If you plan to only take your tricycle for short rides consider buying a smaller battery to save yourself cost. Bigger motors can be good for heavier riders and also climbing hills but they will have more thrust. Consider a smaller motor if you just want to cruise and just simple want a little assistance when pedaling. The tires can come in various sizes, fat tires provide a cushy ride and thinner tires will roll smoother. Remember riding position is important too, you want to be comfortable while riding.

Lastly, electric trikes are fun! Even if you still can ride a two wheel bike, three wheel bikes provide a whole different adventure! They can be ridden to the beach or around town and are enjoyable for the whole family. Use the baskets to bring all of your belongings and enjoy your day wherever you are off to!
