    Thanks for this review. This trike may be perfect for a family member with some mobility issues.

    I love the new 2019 model Liberty electric tricycle for $1500.00. Made in USA frame. Compact, folds & separates for easy transport, fits apartment doors with 26" wide handle bar, 24" rear wheels, 750 watts gearless, quiet motor, 36 v lithium ion battery charges for 3 hrs, front disc brake, rear break, reverse mode, walking mode, parking break, easy twist throttle, five power levels, coaster break back pedal to activate, carries up to 400 lbs, parking break latch, chain tensioner, rear and pedal reflectors, large LCD display, micro usb port, steel chain cover. Comes in different colors of black, red, yellow, pink, orange, teal, navy blue.
    I hope to buy one soon. The current 2019 Liberty electric trike review states that the new model has been modified & errors corrected such as loose controller, quirky power on sequence, new rear steel basket, folding battery key, motor cable protector. I'm excited to buy one soon.

    I think it's overpriced. Slow. Not off road. Steel vs aluminum. But you did a great job pointing out its assets.

    I live in a mobile home park for retired seniors and this would be ideal for all the ladies who can't drive anymore; to get groceries, get some air and exercise, and the fact that it comes apart means you can put it into the back of a car easily. Trouble is, for the manufacturers, this age group isn't on the net and doesn't know about this kind of thing yet. Need to advertise in AARP type magazines.

      I agree. This is a gift to the baby boomer generation. I can't wait to have one and go to my neighborhood swap meet ,it's perfect, not bulky to walk around inside the swap meet.

    I carry a small waterproof cooler bag in the back basket filled with a few handy items from a air pump to a brick... None of which wouldn't mind being frozen for a while as I like my drinks cold... The brick on its narrow side is just the right height to mount the two halves together or for separation...

  • @cresshead
    @cresshead 8 років тому +1

    cool, would be good for the older retired rider to get about. the folding aspect seems more geared toward shipping and longer storage in a house/garage/shed with limited space than day to day folding..overall a good option for those who like the idea of a trike but may need to bring it into their homes.

    • @ElectricBikeReview
      @ElectricBikeReview  8 років тому +1

      Yeah, considering the trike is still rated for ~400 lbs I'd rather have folding than not, even if I don't use it all the time :)

    Love your reviews! Big thanks and keep them coming. Could you include a decent length shot of scenery whizzing by when you do them. It's hard to get a sense of what it's like to ride when all the shots are of the wheels, display, etc.

  • @Katy32344

    Is this intended to be more of a scooter or more of a pedaled trike for exercise and transportation? Also, is there a way I can try it out before buying it?

  • @glen58316
    @glen58316 8 років тому +13

    In some places u can buy nearly 3 or 4 automobile for price of these E-Bikes. Don't get me wrong i love the concepts of these alternate forms of transportation however the prices need to come down. They need to bypass big oil politics in order to get the product out there and more readily available to those who need this mode of transportation the most. The one thing that bothers me the most tho in this day an age is that we still use wheels and petroleum with all the advanced technology available and suppressed. Take for instance suppressed technologies like Electromagnetic Hover technology that one could use to fly/hover and Zero Point Energy Generators that could b used to create on demand energy without the use for big clunky batteries and the need to plug into an electrical source that could remove the addiction of wheels and petroleum. With all that said the E-Bike revolution is a good start tho.

    The trick would be perfect if it leaned into the turns because it's so narrow which is great because it gets through the door easily for an old person however if it leaned into the turns that would make it fantastic and the perfect little bike for any older person think about it

    what happens if your foot hits the quick release ?

    • @ronclark9724
      @ronclark9724 2 роки тому

      It takes more than a glancing blow of your foot or leg, it requires a mounting effort to engage the quick release... On the other hand that reverse/forward button is sensitive, handle that throttle hand grip carefully...

      @ElectricBikeReview  8 років тому +2

      There are several solid trikes to choose from, they tend to weigh a bit more but I'm sure they're sturdier without the folding feature. Was impressed though with the 400 lb riding capacity :)

    Maybe make it 20 in that way it gives it more height it's not so tiny cars can see it better you can pedal it more like a bicycle and if it was if you leaned on it like a bicycle and it was the 20 inch then you that would be perfect perfect check it out see if it works for you guys I'm thinking it would work for me

    • @ronclark9724

      They have upgraded the Liberty trike with 6 inch cranks instead of the original 4.5 inch cranks. Pedals much easier although still at a single gear.

      Don't go turning around corners at full speed, slow down! I have no problems with making sharp corners at the throttle set at two, instead of at warp speed at five... Gee whiz, this isn't rocket science, just good old common sense!

    I just want to fold a folding bike, not to have to take them apart. Looks very awkward.

    • @ElectricBikeReview
      @ElectricBikeReview  8 років тому

      It kind of is, you can fold it but that only changes the length, the bars and wheel still take up a lot of space. I don't think I'd actually take the thing completely apart often but it's nice that you can, probably similar in effort to taking off all of the wheels if they had quick release as long as you have a friend to help hold it up when re-assembling

    Everything you said means the price should be cheaper. no peddle assist means running down battery quickly. it is not a car. $1200 total better price including shipping would be in the ball park for cheep made etrike! if you want to charge more add pedal assist, and needs mor gears. no sale, there are better made ones like the worksman etrike thats cheaper than this, better reputation company!
