    Great review, Larry. I have an electric bike and enjoy it immensely. Its kept me on the road after developing lower back issues that prevented me from continuing on with my road bike. I love bikes. I think they could save the world!

    I have a Sun Trike tricycle! Love it for hauling groceries and for stability of ride.

    Thanks, Larry. Can you make a video that shows how it's folded? I can't find anyone who makes a video to show whether the front wheel on this nicely fits in between the frame and the rear wheel like on a Lectric XP.

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому +1

      Try this video: "Fun For Everyone! Mooncool TK1 Folding Electric Trike | Great For Camping and RV Travel" by DestinationOpenRoad. He shows it folded at 5:40 in. The front wheel does not tuck into the two rear wheels but sits outside of them.

      @@larryware1, thank you for taking the time to respond to me. Bummer it won't fold in like that. It's the one advantage other folding trikes seem to have, to me.

    I need an etrike that turns into a rollator/walker with a basket at the destination 😂. I'd love to be able to ride to the store ....hop off...disconnect and hobble around the shop ...then hop back on and bring the shopping home. The store is less than 2 miles away. It should be perfectly possible ❤

    Affordable is relative 🤷‍♀️ I do love the overall size and weight, plus this actually has usable and strong baskets! Larry this is probably the best quality review I’ve ever seen of any product! Thank you😊 If you folks spend much time across the river over in Pekin? I can no longer drive due to brain injury which has caused other issues like balance and health issues… Pretty much stuck in the house and boy this would be a godsend to give me choices and the ability to get places! My concern is driving it around other people do you have any opinion on that for this area?😅

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому

      Thank you for your kind comment, Dharmaslife. I don't have any advice for riding it in Pekin since I've never biked over there. It's better if you can ride this where there is no traffic. I wouldn't recommend it for most roadways unless they have a built in bike lane due to its width. It's must a little more for cars to trek around. Otherwise, I can't recommend it enough.

    I have forgotten how to balance on my bicycle: so I am considering a tricycle.

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому +1

      A trike would be perfect for balance issues. I would highly recommend this one.

    Most of the reclining trikes I see have the 2 wheels in front and 1 in the back. I remember my toddler years riding a kid's trike and tipping over if I made too sharp of a turn. Have you experienced any of the tipping or feeling like you will tip over?

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому

      No, I take corners slowly. You learn to just slow down on curves and corners. It's not a problem as long as you do that.

    Hi Larry, My husband has heart issues. Do you need to pedal in order for the trike to work? I don't know much about E- bikes, and I am looking for a way to still enjoy the outdoors with him.

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому +1

      This one has a throttle. You don't have to pedal.

      I looked at the Rickshaw trike. It's much more expensive but includes a rear bench seat for passengers.

    A gal in our neighborhood was biking on an e bike that can go up to 30 mph , hit a hole, was thrown, broke her neck, and died this week. E bikes can fool you into a false sense of safety. Professional mountain bikers who with years of experience don’t even go that fast because they know about the hazards of the trail. I’m sure Larry is a careful, conscientious e-biker but I can’t say I would recommend them to just anyone.

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому +1

      Fortunately the top speed on the Mooncool trike is 15.6 mph. It doesn't go unsafe speeds. So sorry about what happened to the neighborhood girl. 30 mph is WAY too fast for an e-bike.

    Can this bike be locked when going into a store? My neighborhood is iffy!

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому

      It can be locked. I wouldn't leave it outside for very long, in fact, I never have yet left my trike.

    You get quite a few of products to try. Are you able to keep these items? Over the last six months you have been gifted with a number of items...portable power units, solar generators , a couple of power stations, coffees, a bike (although you already have your own) and more. How can those who are struggling financially be able to buy some of these items? Why don't you just help people save money, not spend money? I'm guessing you make money when someone buys an item you advertise. As usual, it's all about the money.

    • @UndertheMedian
      @UndertheMedian  5 місяців тому +6

      Over the past 36 years when we felt strongly we needed something, we set a goal, researched our options, and saved for it. We have owned a number of high-quality items and we figured out a way to get them. As far as "free" samples go: We must pay 35% tax on them. We then spend upwards of FIFTY hours to research, evaluate, test, film, edit, and upload that review. I'd say that makes it far from FREE. If you want the same opportunities, then start your own channel, work 40+ hours a week on it, and grow it. You might find yourself with a tad less time to leave nasty comments which cast aspersions on other people's character.

    cyclists and e-bikers please respect pedestrians when sharing the trail instead of bullying us because you have a need for speed.

    • @larryware1
      @larryware1 5 місяців тому

      Yes, I so agree. I slow way down for pedestrians so they don't have to be shocked at my approach from behind. I also gently sound the horn so they know I'm coming.

    Mooncool shipped me this Tk1 with a front tire that has a hole in it. Also paint was chipping on the fenders. They took 30 days to ship the trike , then 3 weeks to send a new wheel and and the new wheel is used with badly bent spokes. Now they are talking about sending another wheel. I demand a partial refund and they act like they didn't read that part. The trike came shipped with the battery, clearly its used. Going 3 months and I haven't rode it yet!
