The frame folds in about a second, the pair of front wheels means you never put a foot down at a light, and it is listed at 15 to 37 miles depending on whether you run one pack or both, and it folds small enough to stand in a hallway rather than needing a garage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason this exists is balance. A bicycle at walking pace in traffic asks you to hold a line with one hand while you signal with the other, and for a lot of riders that is the thing that stops them riding at all. Three wheels and a low seat remove that problem entirely: it stands on its own at a stop, it does not fall over when you park it, and it tracks straight over a wet manhole cover. It also means a rider who has not been on a bike in years can use one on a Saturday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo front wheels also mean two front tires to steer, and the geometry that keeps a trike upright makes it feel strange for the first kilometre if you are a lifelong cyclist. The lean is deliberate, not a fault: the frame gives up to 40 degrees of side deviation without tipping, which is the number the maker uses for cornering confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"hkm-glance\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500W Rear Hub\u003c\/strong\u003e — Brushless hub with a built-in clutch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e749Wh Total\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two 48V 7.8Ah packs, run one or both\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 to 37 Miles\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single pack and dual pack, listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse Trike\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two front wheels, one driven rear wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14 in Wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e — 14 x 1.95 front, 14 x 2.125 rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds in a Second\u003c\/strong\u003e — Frame collapses without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Discs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Disc brake with a rotor on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 Degree Lean\u003c\/strong\u003e — Side deviation before it tips, maker figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStanding Stability\u003c\/strong\u003e — Stays upright at a stop and when parked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLCD Display\u003c\/strong\u003e — Speed, battery and assist on the bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharges Separately\u003c\/strong\u003e — Both packs charge at once, halving the wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Basket\u003c\/strong\u003e — Carrier ahead of the bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrame, Fold and Three Wheels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is a folding spine with a hinge at the middle: release it and the trike collapses into a package you can wheel into a hallway or stand in the back of a car. There is no tool in the sequence, which is the difference between a folder that gets used and one that does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUp front there are two wheels on a leaning linkage, and at the back a single driven wheel. The linkage is what makes the trike behave like a bicycle in a corner rather than a shopping trolley, and it is also why the first ride feels odd if you are used to two wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe seating position is upright with the bars well back, and the front carrier sits ahead of the head tube where you can see it. A rider who has stopped cycling because of balance or a hip that does not swing over a top tube is the target customer here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: folding spine, single hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront: two wheels on a leaning linkage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear: one driven hub wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrakes: mechanical disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTires: 14 x 1.95 front, 14 x 2.125 rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: stands on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitted as shipped: a disc brake on the front wheel, a rear light, a bell, the front carrier and a folding stand that lets the trike sit on its own once collapsed.

It sits in the single rear wheel, which keeps the steering light and the drive line simple, and because it is a hub rather than a mid drive, the pedals and the gears stay ordinary bicycle parts. A clutch in the hub is what lets it freewheel, so the trike rolls like a bicycle when the pack is flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 48V 7.8Ah packs live in the frame for 749Wh between them. They can be run one at a time, and they charge simultaneously on the supplied adapter, which halves the wait compared with charging them in sequence. Each pack has its own charging port on the spine, and each has a key lock, so you can leave one on the trike while the other charges indoors. Each pack is light enough to carry in one hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRange is listed at 25 to 30 km on one pack and 50 to 60 km on both, which is roughly 15 to 19 miles on a single battery and 31 to 37 on the pair. Cold weather and a heavy rider pull both numbers down, so plan a shopping run around the single-pack figure. The second pack is the difference between a there-and-back errand and a longer loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Fits and How It Rides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trike suits riders who want to keep riding rather than riders who want to go fast: a bad hip, a balance problem, a knee that no longer trusts a two-wheeler at a stop. The low step-through spine means you sit down rather than climb on, and you never put a foot down in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt walking pace it is more stable than any bicycle, and at 15 mph it is calm rather than exciting. Corners need a little more room than a bike because the two front wheels track wide, and potholes on the front are felt twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShopping runs and errands with a front carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders returning after injury, surgery or a long break\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet, cobbled and uneven streets where balance is the issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for speed, off-road use or long touring days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-tablewrap\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrike\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolding frame, 500W rear hub, controller, two 7.8Ah packs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Wheels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo 14 x 1.95, fitted at assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear Wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 x 2.125, fitted at assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48V adapter with US plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTools\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHex keys for the stem and seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery keys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront basket frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear light, wired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBar mounted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly guide and warranty card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery State\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArrives partially charged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"hkm-note\"\u003eBefore the first ride: unfold the frame and check the hinge is fully seated, check both front axles and the rear axle, set the seat height, then charge both packs.

If you run one pack at a time, alternate them so neither sits at 100 percent for months. Alternate the pack you use weekly so both age at the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck tire pressure weekly on all three wheels, since a soft front tire on a trike pulls the steering to one side, and check the hinge and linkage bolts monthly. Keep the battery contacts clean, and store the packs indoors over winter rather than in a cold shed. Check the hinge play and the linkage bolts on the same schedule, because a folding trike that lives outdoors works those pivots

need to balance it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Two front wheels and a low seat mean it stands on its own at a stop and when parked, which is the whole reason this trike exists. You still lean in corners, and the frame allows up to 40 degrees of side deviation. That lean is what keeps it from tipping in a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-q\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far does it go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15 to 19 miles on a single 7.8Ah pack and 31 to 37 miles with both, listed. Cold weather and a loaded carrier pull those down, so plan a shopping run around the single-pack figure and keep the second pack for the way home. The second pack is a range extender, not a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-q\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I charge both batteries at once?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The supplied adapter charges both packs at the same time, which halves the wait compared with charging them one after the other. They can also be removed and charged indoors separately. Four hours gets one pack from empty on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-q\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 15.5 mph fast enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor errands and a return to riding, yes. It is a stability-first machine, and the 500W hub is there to get a loaded trike moving and up a slope, not to reach bicycle speeds on the open road. If you need 28 mph, this is the wrong machine by design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-q\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow small does it fold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spine hinges in the middle and the trike collapses into a package that stands upright on its own, narrow enough for a hallway and short enough for a car boot. There is no tool in the sequence. It rolls on its own wheels rather than being lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hkm-q\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does assembly involve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfold the frame and check the hinge is seated, check all three axles, set the seat and stem, charge both packs. Budget 20 to 30 minutes, then spend ten minutes in an empty car park getting used to the lean. The hinge is the part to check before every ride, not once a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eService and Policies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage that lasts beyond the box.
