Spot on review - assembly was a nightmare. I still need to tune the rear gears and back brake. Also think the handlebars are crooked but what throws you off is that the front basket is attached to the frame and not the steering column. Never figured out how to put the back basket together, so I used black zip ties instead of the metal strips. Also the display could be brighter but I have a feeling there is a protective film on it, but the Florida heat appears to have welded it on. Love the ride and my fire engine red color. Yes I have had to bend the rear fenders to prevent them from rubbing against the rear wheels. A trick to be aware of, attach the rear fenders before putting the rear wheels on. If you follow the manual you will be dropping the bolts. I probably would buy the fat tire trike again, note their leading competitor's outsourced customer service is terrible.
@@HobartsReviews well it’s his hobby, he has been buying old electric bikes and rebuilding them. I just wanted a brand new one. Getting kinda nervous though with all the Facebook page comments about serious issues.
I have a purple Mooncool regular non-electric tricycle that took me a week to finally assemble! I had a hard time with the instructions so I ended up watching as many videos as possible. I zip tied the rear basket too and have to keep adjusting the rear fenders so the tires don't rub on them. Anybody know the proper PSI for Mooncool tires? They look like knobby MTB tires. 😮 The wheels seem out of true! I adjusted the front and rear brake quite a bit also. All in all my Grape Purple Mooncool trike is cute as can be and I am finally getting the hang of riding it. 💜
Thank you for the honest review! I was on the fence about this one but thanks to ur review I’m gonna pass on this one. The assembly or lack of was the deal breaker for me.
Haha... I wear one always when I'm not filming it's. I only had a full face motorcycle helmet and that's kind of hard to record with a microphone with that on. So for filming sometimes I go without a helmet so that that you can hear me clearly. But I know I know I know safety first. I totally agree haha.

Thanks so much! I agree with everything you said. Also glad I'm not the only one.. haha 👍
My husband put mine together easily. But I would have had a hard time doing it myself. I used tie straps for back basket, worked well.
I'm sure that's what he told you LOL. But I'm glad you got it together and it works well.

The folding unit! 95% assembled.
Yep! They messed up with this one...

Yeah it was definitely a pain in the butt to assemble and still wasn't quite right.
Thanks for the honest review!
No Problem! Thanks for watching!

No problem! Gotta be honest and this one I would not recommend until they get their assembly figured out. I thought the Addmotor was really nice.
The foldable version is 95% assembled - I saw another video about that
my neighbor bought one of these, he is 77. the front wheel broke on his first ride, then the brakes stopped working
Yeah I would get one from Addmotor instead. Have them return it and look at Addmotor.
Doesn't have much power going up lil hills?
It's ok but I think Addmotor trike was stronger.
Wish someone would give a good demonstration of engaging the battery & changing gears.
What do you mean?
as someone who took a tumble and cracked my head open - where the hell is your helmet😄

does it back up/ have a reverse to back up?
No
The folding one comes mostly assembled
Yeah I wonder why they didn't send this one that way? Huge deal breaker
Wow! I can't believe they ship it like that!
Yeah me either. It seriously was 8 hours of frustration getting this thing assembled and tuned right.
Not sure about an evtrike if they dont like hills!
It depends on the trike. This one is much better th-cam.com/video/hCvDHT-u8pk/w-d-xo.html
Why does it look like his bike is going side ways on here and he's going straight
Because I have a camera to the side of me filming me ride straight.
Whiner!
Thanks!
