    I never was able to learn a bike because I have balance problems. I have Autism and can't drive a car and this seems like a great option

      I don’t have any balance , so my husband bought me adult stabilisers, so you have one wheel in the front and one at the back with two smaller wheels not kids ones lol they are bigger and stronger. It looks like a trim down trike, mine folds love it .

    I had my electric bike for a short time. I learned how important leaning into a turn is because I tipped over and skinned a knee pretty bad. I'm elderly but when I was young I road a 10 speed until I was a young adult. I will visit your sit to look over bikes I was thinking about getting a lighter weight one for my wife.

    They should make trikes that can have 3 batteries mounted on the trike as you peddle the battery will recharge itself.And where can I get these e-trikes ?

    I don’t doubt my ability to adjust to the difference of riding a trike, but I do wonder about the roads where I live. I live in a historic district where the roads aren't very wide in general, and some, maybe half, of them have at least a few cars parked on one side of the street, and some on both sides, at which time one driver will wait behind a parked car for another to to get by. Cars don't pass one another on the streets since it's one lane with two way traffic. The traffic isn't fast, or even really busy, usually not a problem in a car, but on the video the trikes look pretty wide and it seems like cars would get stuck going slow behind a trike until they could get around it when no cars were coming from the opposite direction. So, my question is: Are the trikes as wide as they look to me?

    How about going uphill? How about tipping around a corner? Do you have backs on any of your seats? HEaring about fires with electric bikes, how's your batteries?

    • @sixthreezero
      @sixthreezero  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      We have some additional videos on our channel showing uphill and how to steer, around corners etc. Our bikes don't come with backs on the seats. We have not had issues with fires with our batteries.

      My Dad had a motorbike, with a sidecar, I think it was the late 60's early 70"s, he used to ride us around the neighborhood, it was yellow. If I lived in a more motorbike friendly arera, I would get one and ride, my Grandkids and dogs around. Thank you for bring up a precious memory.

    I live in upstate NY where we have long snowy winters. Are there any trikes made to ride through snow and ice? How about rain?

    • @sixthreezero
      @sixthreezero  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't know of any that are made for that, but there are chains you can put on your bike tires, just like cars, www.biketiresdirect.com/reviews/slipnot-26-inch-bicycle-traction-chains

    Lean opposite direction of your turns when you feel its a bit too fast or like to turn with momentum of speed ( but recommended not to do this on trikes ) I will point out my BENT knee opposite of my turn ( like a racer on motorcycle) keeps the center of gravity more larger or more space to maintain that needed balance when turning. But the #1 difference in Trikes vs Bikes, be at complete stop or 2mph when turning, the faster you turn the more you will feel the agony of those moments, lol.

    I bought a 17.5 inch mountain trike from Docred Sports. It is not electric.. Finally got it assembled but I am having a very hard time riding it. When I try to take off I go straight but then it turns. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any tips??

    • @sixthreezero
      @sixthreezero  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It takes awhile to get used to the steering of a tricycle. Just remember you have to keep the handlebars straight on a trike. You'll get it with practice!

    Hi. QUESTION: What do you mean that three wheel bikes ride differently? Wish you had explained more. Thanks.

    • @sixthreezero
      @sixthreezero  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Tricycles/3 Wheel Bikes have a different feel from two wheel bikes. On a two wheel bike you have to lean and use your body weight to balance and turn the bike. On a 3 wheel bike, you don't need to because the bike balances itself. When you are rolling, they feel the same, but when turning and maneuvering they feel different. Check out our channel, we have several videos about riding a tricycle.

    So why aren't trikes being made more along the lines of old school tricycles. They'd be so much more stable, and with the motorized front wheel, so much more fun.

    • @sixthreezero

      What was the design of old school tricycles?

    I wish I had seen this before I purchased a Viribus! Mine came with the mounting for the front disc brakes welded on in the wrong spot, what does that do, the brakes are faulty. I have spoken with their bike mechanic via phone ( and he was a lovely person) but the "fix" he gave us just did not fix the issue. What is Viribus solution? They offered me $50.00 this is a $1,000.00 bike that in my my opinion is dangerous, the brakes does not work well and it pulls to the right. I have decided that I will force the to give me a full refund, they offered my $200.00 and I keep the bike. What part of this bike is dangerous do you not understand? So maybe you will be seeing me here on youtube, with my review of the Viribus electric trike..............
