More Than a Beach Bike Upgrade

Robert found one day that his beach bike just wasn’t cutting it. It was a standard cruiser pedal bike, but whether the terrain was wearing the bike out or the bike was wearing him out was anyone’s guess. It just wasn’t fun to ride. When something isn’t fun to ride,...

Ecotric Hammer: An E-Bike Experience on the Missisquoi Trail When I first heard about Dennis Cota, he had been interviewed by a local paper, the Saint Albans Messenger and this piqued my interest. I was compelled by his story and looked forward to hearing and sharing his passion for biking...

Hitch Rack worked on Lectric Trike

Not a perfect fit but we made it work. The attachment to my 2” car hitch was wobbly and not a good fit. Bought a bigger pin and taped some metal washers to hitch rack to make it a little tighter. Looking for some other permanent way to make it fit tighter. Lectric trike back tires fit on very front edge of rear rack. Still, this is the only rack that I have found that is light enough for this old lady to lift and I like it. Any suggestions on how to make car hitch part work would be appreciated.

Disappointed

It's OK but I want something faster than this I regret it

Purchased for our daughter with a disability

We bought this trike for our daughter who has Down syndrome. She is able to get on/off fairly easily with the seat at its lowest setting; she is exactly 5 feet tall and if she were any shorter probably would not be able to fully reach the pedals. She quickly learned how to use the power assist up/down switch and can brake and steer easily. The power assist that kicks in on just Level 1 is pretty intense; I’ve never had an e-bike before, so maybe this is typical. I wish it was a little less powerful because she really takes off! She’s learned to turn it on for only a few seconds at a time so she doesn’t get going too fast. I haven’t tried taking it out myself and getting it up to full power assist, but I can image I could keep up with side road traffic.

This was our first experience building a bike, and the instructions were very minimal, assuming you knew a lot more than we did, such as how to use a chain breaker, but we figured most of it out with som help from other YouTube videos. We ended up calling a friend who worked in a bike shop to help calibrate the breaks and gearshift to make sure it was completely safe for our daughter. Overall, we really enjoy riding the local bike paths and are pleased with the purchase.
