Ya it probably sounded like that. But I meant I wouldn’t have thought I wanted one yet, but I can’t wait I’m very excited and can’t wait to ride it. I would have already gotten one if I lived where you do.
I've had a Liberty Trike (good) and now have a XP Trike (great goes up very steep hills) Now I'm looking the spytan for my wife. Can't wait for the reviews when they actually come out.
I have quite a few trikes also have just got a Lectric’s XP Trike from Lectric i’m impressed with its uphill torque best I have experienced so far. We should had a little more overall speed and gears. I will probably be reviewing it over the weekend.
Please tell me how it is!!!! I'm considering the Spytan over the Lectric as a mobility device. I had to drag out of Lectric that their "flat platform" won't mount between their rear wheels :(
I’m so excited about this reverse trike! I loved the addmotor 360 mini, but at 4’10.75”, it was considered too big for me, by addmotor! This one seems perfect! Thank you so much for the online review. It was very helpful.

I do absolutely agree with that, but why would I ride a trike if I have to drive it like a conventional bike I just don’t understand it, like I said if you could lock that front end, which I think is a simple thing to try to do, but I’d really like to have the bike in front of me so I could look at it before I made a $2000 decision

@@GarysE-BikeAdventures - i have three ebikes and one etrike, a Mooncool TK1 folding. I am a degreed Mechanical Engineer. So I have some knowledge and experience on e bikes/trikes. I have long believed a reverse trike, or AKA tadpole, e powered unit made sense from a stability standpoint, but none were available except for a few low rider recumbent bikes that had been converted to e power. Random thoughts: The Spytan user height limit is disappointingly low. I suspect it is to keep the rider’s weight low enough to limit tipping instability in turns while still allowing the rider to extend their legs an optimum distance when pedaling. If the owner uses the Spytan primarily as a powered scooter as many will, then keep the seat low and ride with bent knees because pedaling efficiency is not an issue in scooter mode. It is disappointing that Addmotor is heavily promoting the Spytan on Social Media with just pictures, specs, and a little marketing verbal hype. No riding videos. No explanation why the canted front wheels are an advantage. No independent testing reviews. Responsible people will not buy online sight unseen an expensive item, especially an item that is new and different in design, based on just pictures. Addmotor either does not have a marketing specialist or they do, but he or she is not very effective in their approach to pre selling this new, different product. They need videos and independent reviews asap. Buyer test rides are ideal, but that is impossible for most customers who must rely on online info and purchasing. I agree the front rack on the Spytan is odd sized. Folding any etrike is more for storage ease than for transport. No trike transports easily. I agree that the 6-3-0 tilting front wheels design is a head scratcher. It turns like a wide 2 wheel bike and requires feet down when stopped like a 2 wheeler. The width and feet down requirement are both disadvantages. It has no advantages other than more stable in turns than a fixed geometry reverse trike, but without any of the benefits of a fixed geometry trike over a 2 wheel bike. All e powered trikes and bikes should have hydraulic brakes. Those are no much more money. OEM rear view mirrors should be standard design for optimum rear vision instead of an aftermarket add on hunt for a suitable mirror. The Spytan is interesting. But my limited budget cannot be spent on wishful thinking, assumptions, and insufficient information. I hope you and other product reviewers get a Spytan to test soon.
sixthreezero two front wheel electric trike, because of the learning ability, it has independent suspension on both front wheels. And I think it would be pretty easy to lock the front, so it did not learn at stops.

I’m going to try to do an update video soon they are telling me it’s been delayed for a month and we are now getting wood on the front rack for free to make up for it SixThreeZero was also delayed I have both coming in.
Sixthreezero is the only one for me because of the independent axils for the 2 front wheels. I would never want them connected as "one" because you can tip much too easily! However, as you mentioned, being able to make it one way or the other is a perfect idea, allowing the rider to make their own choice! I would like to share my thoughts why the sixthreezero. Maybe it will help someone who is trying to decide, especially when spending that kind of money! I have total joint replacements in both of my shoulders, so falling is not a good idea. I thought I would never ride again. I researched trikes - thinking that was my answer. OMGosh, no way - once I saw how easily they can tip. If you're going into a trun too fast (you may think you are not going fast, but...) you have to really lean opposite to the turn shifting your weight (counter intuitive in riding a bike), trying to keep both tires on the ground and pray you do not tip. Then, I saw one video where the woman was riding on uneven pavement. One tire in the gutter, the other a bit higher on the road. Yes, both tires were in contact with the ground, but her whole upper body shifted, leaning to the high side (the road) to keep that wheel from lifting. My back got sore just watching the video. I think it would be no different with the 2 tires in the front if the bar connects them as "one." I want to enjoy riding. I don't want to worry about counterbalancing my weight or if one tire is going to lift. I know there is no guarantee that I will not fall riding the sixthreezero, but it seems less likely (if not at all). The independent axils allow each tire to stay in contact with the ground. On their website, they demo riding over a 2 x 4, which clearly shows the importance of this feature. When I saw that, it sold me! I also like the idea that it handles like a traditional bike. I ordered the sixthreezero last week! Fingers cross for delivery beginning of May. It has been 10 yrs since my first total shoulder, so it has been way too long. I am really looking forward to riding again. Especially with the grandkids! Some of you may be thinking, why not the recumbent bike? I did not like it 😒. That really felt unnatural. I want to be low to the ground, but NOT that low. I guess I need to be upright to get that old feeling back of riding a bike 😅.
The folding will take up less room in the garage, but I certainly won't be lifting it into the car. I just ordered the Addmotor one. I chose that one for stability.
I've been eying up reverse upright trikes but it's slim picking to find a tilting / leaning one that doesn't look butt ugly. i have been looking at the non electric ones since it seems the price of electrified 'sporty' trikes are overpriced. I'd just electrify it myself. the recumbant are an option.. and given the upright designs, probably the only option for a high performance trike.

So on the 6 3 0 it won't stand on its own when you come to a stop? Like a normal trike?
It will stand if balanced right, but not with weight on it.
I would GUESS that it can stand if you hold the handle straight forward.
