I bought the Mokwheel Granite for my wife, because I assumed three wheels would be safer than a two-wheeler for her. But as soon as we got it home, she said she couldn't turn the wheel when moving. I hopped on it and found she was correct, so we took the e-trike back. Two factors that most people don't realize with e-trikes: 1) they don't lean when turning; a two-wheeler leans into a turn with more angle at higher speeds. The rider intuitively leans at the same angle as the bike. However, since the e-trike itself doesn't lean in a turn while moving, the back wheel opposite the turn automatically comes off the ground. The rider has to lean much more than expected (particularly since the trike isn't leaning) to counteract the e-trike's tendency to tilt onto two wheels. 2), all e-trikes are, by design, top heavy. The rider, sitting high in the saddle, weighs more than the trike itself, sometimes double or even more. This causes the bike to want to tip with every turn. These e-trikes are not intuitive (they don't act as you would expect them to). Can you learn to control them, yes, but it takes constant thought to maintain control. Get lost in the scenery, and you'll regret it. E=bike stores should educate new trike riders on these aspects of these three-wheelers.
I was genuinely surprised how bad this electric tricycle was off road. can you review a dual motor AWD electric tricycle with wider diameter wheels/tyres? because I'm curious if there is a AWD dual motor etrike on the market that is better on washboard roads than this without street tyres. thank you
It's just a class 2 ebike. Probably meant for older people who might not be able to keep balance on 2 wheels. You don't want to go crazy fast on trikes anyway because they are relatively easy to tip around corners if weight isn't shifted properly. The 2 front wheel 1 rear wheel config (reverse trike) would be just as stable as bicycle if not more but costs more to manufacture.
@@jaydend1840 I think it makes a lot of sense for people who want to haul some groceries from the store, take pets around, and just get in and out during the day on small leisurely trips. And at slow speeds its completely fine to take it on a sidewalk as it is likely more even (depends on where you live). Here our sidewalks arent great but cars on the street are going 35+ mph and streets are small and crowded. Its dangerous to ride on the side of the street. Youre either going with traffic or you're going to get hit.

I ordered a Yolin dual motor-battery for steet & beach ⛱️.
And a Surron.
Love these reviews ❤
Coffee and Tailhappytv, my saturday ritual

According to measurements done by PeakTorque on RUclips quick release has higher clamping force resulting in increased stiffness than thru axle.
You should try reviewing the Conductor Plus Rickshaw from Oh Wow Cycles….. that thing is huge! And expensive!
It seems trikes need rear suspension to help keep the trike level.
Can you plz review the lectric do 3.0
it'd be interesting to see what riding a trike feels like
That break light won’t help one bit. Should have been placed higher so that the vehicle in the rear would see if break is engaged.
mashallah❤❤❤first
That's awesome
If I had that thing, I'd still stick a front hub motor on it. I'm like the king of overkill.
Well no wonder off road trikes is a thing of history! 😅
review the eride pro 3.0
No splitting lanes with this one.
What ever happened to your surron?
The other channel.
@@J.D.Vision he hasn’t talked about it forever on that channel
Probably got rid of it because cops in his area are cracking down on ebikes without pedals.
@@ramborambokitchenkitchen6357 that’s what I reckoned, but surronster lives in LA and gets along just fine…
@@LMV123 no idea then lol. He makes more money reviewing stuff sent to him than making videos about the surron.
Acoustic bicycle 😅
Lock the diff!
a shorter vid than usual for ya. you ok?
...pass by an acoustic bicycle? Like an electric vs. acoustic guitar?😂
That thing is a hazard on anything but sidewalks and parks. Maybe small residential roads. But main streets, you're just asking for trouble.
