Here's a good idea, these e bike sellers should have fellers like you going places where lots of seniors attend and bring this trike, let people test it out, give them the info and your card and when they order you get an extra cut. I am sure they will sell a lot more, lots of folks our age, don't surf the web and may not be aware that these even exist. Lots of retired folks could use this instead of a much more expensive and hard to store, golf cart, and this is useful for those errands to the stores where you don't really need a car or even a golf cart.
Exactly Pedro. I have some plans for it
This was a great review! I am definitely getting one of these; thanks for making the decision easy for me.
Thank you for the kind words
Very helpful, am considering a e-trike and I appreciate the ride footage and info!
Richard I thoroughly enjoyed this tide and reviewed. You made my decision much more informed and I thank you so much. Keep up the good work brother.
Glad to be of service sir! Hey don’t pay too much. Use that link and rip200 discount code for $200 off
I love the spike and I’m hoping to get one in January. Thank you so much for the video.
Thank you for sharing this info. Your video was very helpful!😛
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Richard, Awesome trike bike Elvia loves the color,as always you give a great review 👍 Feel better my friend 🙏🙏
Thanks 👍
Richard the trike is a awesome piece of equipment you put it through some neat situations and it did its thing without a problem the review was done with great content nothing else could have been shared a job well done be safe be well 😊
Thank you for that great comment rich
Looks like a great bike! Great, informative review!
Thanks Candace
This was a great review. You have good info. I'm going to let my friend see it bc she's looking for a trike type bike. This one seems ideal. I enjoyed the ride across the bridge especially.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes I highly recommend this trike!
That is one nice bike, I was able to try it just after Rip one took it out of the box, very strong bike
Brother, that is an awesome bike, love the turn signals already on the bike
Thanks 👍it sure is fun to ride
Great video Richard! ❤
Thank you Don!
Nice to be able to carry a cooler like that one!
Great review Rich. My wife thinks this would be great for her mother 😀
It’s a great bike I guarantee. Or trike that is
Very nice trike. Great review!!
I really had a great time with this one. This one is loaded with potential. Look for many more videos to come
Good video. Lots of information.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Rip! I can’t wait to get my T1 in to review on my YT channel. Mooncool did send me the (non motorized) Trike to review on my channel and was very impressed with that one.
Thanks for watching Dan!
Beautiful trike!
Thank you Sharon!
Nice trike I think that will be the direction we will go on getting Dana something to ride
Will be a good one for her
I enjoyed your video. I wanted used it in the inner city of Atlanta.
Thank you sir. I use it for all sorts of things around the house
NIce Job. Hope mine is shipped for review in December. Looks like its really good quality. I have friends who can actually ride with me when I get it. LOL.
It’s a good one for sure
The beach is beautiful thete!
Good job Richard.
Thanks Blaine
11:15 mins in, rolled thru stop sign again heading on to the Bay Bridge. In an instructional video demonstrating a product, imo, following the rules of the road is important, whether or not you roll thru them in your usual practice. I was surprised.
Aside from that, great demo!
FYI = Note to self... Create an electronic business card on your phone so you'll always have your contact information.
Right on Gina
Was going to show off my wife's Galaxy Trike same/ simular set up but i guess i cant upload a photo with my wife riding it. She has balancing issues and bungee cords her Nero rolator walker on top of the rear basket so she can walk away from the trike. I like the fact she does not have to put her foot down at a stopsign or light..I'll share my experiences with my wife's Trike later this week. I like the color of yours. Disabled seniors will certainly gain alot of freedom with the Trike you are sharing.
I believe it is a good one David. High quality components that's for sure!
Excellent, thorough review, Richard. What a nice e-trike. I love the color. If I wanted a trike this is the one I would get. How did you haul it to Bay St. Louis? Do you have a ramp you put it up inside the truck bed? Guess what, I am feeling under the weather today. Ugh. Not sure where I caught my cold.
I’m sick too Marilyn. The trike fits easily in the bed of my truck. Not hard to load either
Not interested in Trike but glad for you and those that are or need. I'm sure @70 I need one at times!🚲😎
Thanks pat. I’m not quite ready for one yet but hopefully the video will reach someone who has a need. It’s really fun to ride. Thanks again for the comment
Get well soon!😀
Thank you!
I have a two wheel specialized and I’m gonna sell it to get a 3 wheel trike so I can stop and pause after Covid my Oxegen is tanked
Where you went to pedal assist 2 on the bridge, could you have just used pedal power to get up to, say, 10mph? Then, when tiring, click on pedal assist? Or, use the throttle just to get over the "hump?"
I really appreciated the thoroughness of your review. I haven't read all of the comments to know if you have told us how tall you are?
6-0 thank you for watching
@@Rip1Outdoors Thanks! That really helps!
If a tire went flat while out on a ride, would the flat fix be the same for as a regular bike? How would one secure to the bike a safety kit containing a new tire & the tools necessary to change it out, where it wouldn't be stolen? Is there any guidance avail online for changing a flat, for those able to do so? And what about "fix flat" sprays, like those used for cars, for those who physically can't fix a flat? One wouldn't want to leave the trike unattended. What has been your experience in that regard & what do you recommend for trike owners to be prepared for a flat? That's an important factor when heading out on a ride, especially if it might involve riding off the paved trail (or just missed seeing the tack you rode over!) Thanks!
Hey Rip, better make some good home-made spicy gumbo to cure that crud!! Get well soon. My wife has a cold now also, fortunately I seldom catch a cold and I do not remember ever getting the flu. BTW yesterday, the 19th was our 54th anniversary.
Well Happy Anniversary Terry and wife!
I wonder if it can fit thru those narrow entrances to some trails that use poles to keep vehicles out? These companies are wise to send you their bikes for testing, you make an excellent presentation.
I really try hard Pedro. I was fighting symptoms of the crud.
I think it will fit Pedro but I would take it slow
Seems like a really nice etrike. Granted, I'm in my early thirties, but I have balance issues, so riding a regular bike can be a bit of a doozy for me.
It’s a great trike that’s for sure
How does this do offroad, like on a dirt trail or the beach in the sand? Also, I am 6'4" tall and weigh around 330...would this bike fit me? I used to bicycle a lot on rails to trails, doing 30-50 mile rides but since breaking my back, I cannot do that. Have a Cannondale 25" frame with 27" tires so I sit real high but it accommodates me. If this bike would not fit me, any idea which one might? I think the site says up to 6' tall and max weight of 350#. So that max weight would be me and any of the gear, like a cooler or beach bag included? Great review by the way.
Thank you for the kind words. I have heard some say the addamotor is a better choice for someone in the size range you mentioned. I absolutely love this trike. I have crossed ditches and rode through dirt and sand with no problems. I really think it may be a bit small for you though.
Does it have a hitch or something so you can attach a pet cart? My dogs go camping with me and this trike would be great to take along on my trips.
@@teresaelrod9447 I can’t tell you how people are doing it but I drew them pulling pet carts around
Be nice it you did some hills with it.....
Both of our Mcool trikes came defective! Where they fold, it won’t lock in place. We are gonna have to have them welded. We did lots of research before purchasing. We used your discount, thanks! I’ve been unable to reach mooncool by either of the 2 phone numbers. Tried contacting on website.
Jan the locking catches can be tricky. Have you tried using a soft mallet to tap it closed?
Also there is a clip that needs to be pulled forward before the clamp will close.

I'm not clear--can it be pedaled without assist?
8:30 crossing the tracks felt like riding on cement wheels to me.
They were really rough
How easy is it for other cyclists to pass a trike on a bike trail like you're on near the beach? I live by a serious bike trail, VERY busy, & I'd hate to be holding up other riders if there was cross traffic.
Hi, still waiting , thought you run it in the sand. Maybe it won't work or run in the beach sand right?
Look at my latest video released on Monday. It pretty much puts it to the test ua-cam.com/video/wf5IF8oztNg/v-deo.htmlsi=lCsyS5VwaCkE0rFW
I prefer a nice Bing, from a bell also.
I had a lot of fun on this one Gary
Can you be in PAS 1 and still pedal up to top speed? Or must you be in PAS 5? How about throttle only, can you be in PAS 1 and still throttle up to top speed? I think the speed is strictly controlled by which PAS you're in whether pedaling or throttling; am I wrong?
Yes it seems that the speed is controlled by the PAS whaich is not bad at all.
Thanks for the video.
I would love to get my wife on a e trike. As a owner of a 20" × 4 ebike, a trike would help us out to do daily chores and just fun times together.
I must mention that we are Camp host for Army Corps in Florida.
So daily, I'm asked about my own ebike 👉yesterday a group of 4 campers👈.
You would think a company would be begging us to try out a product, but no👉 lectric they passed. We unfortunately are in the line of pay for everything.
But who knows - maybe in the future a trike will be part of our equipment.
Her issue is with stability and other issue is with height - a female coming in at 5' on a good day.
Michael my grandson is 5-0 and he rides it easily. Keep a watch on my channel I have another TK-1 coming in today. I plan to unbox and assemble this evening. It is for a friend who is buying it for his wife. They raise a garden and want something for her to ride and haul vegies with.
Lectric won't send anyone a bike, period.
I feel I don't need a trike but oh my how I love to ride it. I use it for all kind of things around here, even hauling 5 gallon cans of deisel for my tractor.
Richard
What is the name of the color? Some of their colors have green in the color name but look blueish
Cyan green. Yeh looks blue to me too lol
I wonder if the bike companies will ever come out with a 4-wheeler that will go up to 20 mph. I like that idea better than a trike.
not sure about that
This is like the Lectric one but with front suspension.
Yes it has nice suspension
What is the weight of this?
Mike I think it is about 80 lbs
About 8 mins in, you rolled thru the stop sign!
The tk1 I received does NOT have gears as advertised!
No it doesn’t have gears. I saw the trigger shifter in the documentation but figured that was a typo from another bike they didn’t take out.
How much does it weigh?
90 lbs was told me by the company but I didn’t have the equipment to check it
Hey Rich, I never thought a trike could be a chick magnet, or maybe it's you!
Lol
have anyone bought this bike, cause I never received my bike they said it was delivered but I only got the battery and pic from FedEx confirm I did not receive the bike. customer service sucks their is no c.s I tried to email, chat thru website and phone call it says the mailbox is full what a joke thank god I use my c.c to dispute it..
thanks for letting us know
RAD better lower the price on their trike, you now got this one and the Lectric model selling for a grand less? You gotta be kidding plus theirs got the front hub motor, a big no-no.
I had the most fun riding this trike. It was so comfortable I could have ridden it all day!
