Converting from 3x8 to 1x8. The original bolts were too long for a single chainring and these spacers did the job.

I love this trike. My balance hasn't been good (due to bifocals, etc), and this trike completely took away that worry. It's very stable. Same trike is available at large outlet stores. The specs given for overall size are odd, and don't reflect the "put-together" final result -it's about 41" to top of handlebars (which can be adjusted a bit), about 28-30" wide, and about 57" long. I couldn't find these figures anywhere on any site, but needed them to make sure the item would fit thru my gate. It does, and I just ride thru it like a breeze! I don't plan to fold it and unfold it often, if ever -I purchased it for the wheel size (closer to the ground!) and stability. I can stand up easily from the seat, solidly on the ground, since the pedals are pretty much directly under the seat, rather than slanted forward as in bikes. This increases my feeling of safety. You ride this sitting pretty much straight up, with good posture. Excellent for my back and hips. Seat is easily adjustable with a clip, so only takes seconds to readjust. I keep mine about 30-31" from ground. Seat is large and wide and very comfortable -no need to purchase a separate, larger seat. Good brakes, large basket. I recommend this tri-cycle for folks who had given up on owning a bi-cycle -excellent purchase for my retirement. Excellent idea for big kids or adults with balance issues.

My father recently purchased one of these porto-trikes for my autisic son's 18th birthday. I took the liberty of purchasing one for myself and for my 16 year old son who has balance difficulty with his 2 wheel bike. We all love them. They ride great and feel comfortable. Ours is single speed so its very important for us to only go on level ground. I did miss having a mirror so I would encourage purchasing one to see the traffic behind you. My boys experience a measure of freedom and independance when they ride their 3 wheelers!

Boyfriend --->Finally got around to putting the Bike together.

Not that hard if you follow the video

Shipped very fast from Amazon, all parts are accounted for now just left to ride :)

Love this bike! But If I were to buy again would buy the one with

gears b/c you have to be on mostly flat ground for this bike. It is a heavy bike. But very sturdy I use it for grocery shopping! No I'm not kidding! In the basket I put a plastic bin in there so grocery bags will not tip over. I can grab a bunch of groceries that way. (Like 5 reusable bags)

Hey save gas and get awesome exercise!

I love it always get compliments when riding, asking where I got the bike (Why Amazon of course!) and people always say "Cool bike" "Awesome" "What a nice bike".

I'm waiting for the pet store to open (sorry Amazon) so I can take it down and grab a 30 lb

bag of dog food for my dog.

Love this bike. I would buy the geared one tho if I was buying today. Might look into seeing

how I could add the gears. Awesome Bike tho! LOVE it!

If you have hill where you live buy the geared one. Otherwise go with this one.

Ride ON!!!! :)

Honest reviews on Worksman Port-o-Trike Single Speed Adult Tricycle

We bought this bike for our special needs son, 15 years old. He loves it and is completely successful.

The bike did require minor assembly, that we accomplished in one evening. The directions were clear and presise. We can not yet comment on the folding function, as I don't think we will use that often. I can tell you that the bike is solid in construction and was easily put into the back of our truck.

I read all the reviews and then purchased the Trike. I am 67 years old lady and I was starting to get a little nervous of riding my old regular bike. I was scared of falling of it. I not fragile mind you, but I wanted a bike I could be more comfortable riding and also go to the store and pick up a few items and do my exercise at the same time.

The reviews on the Trike claimed it was difficult to put together and it was pack poorly, and that parts din't fit correctly.

To that I say wrong, wrong wrong.

It was packed with meticulous care, every part protected and in excellent condition.

Most of the bike was already put together. It had excellent instructions and yes it took me three hours to put together ( I took my sweet time), and I had the help of two dachshunds puppies that insisted on helping me. The finished product looks so good.

So I say it is worth the price. Just read the instructions get comfortable and take your time. No problems at all.

Bought this for a trip to Colorado. I knew it rained every afternoon in the mountains and had been caught before. I like the way it can be opened and closed while driving. This was useful when traveling in carvans and the temps would change with the elevation and clouds. In the past it would start to rain and by the time I got my poncho on I was already wet plus the rain hitting me in the face would run down my neck. No more with the windshield in place. It seems to be very hard and scratch resistant. Some people may be bothered by the lap in the upper and lower panels that are in the line of site but that hasn't been that big a deal for me. I also had a Cooter Brown top and a Tusk rear window.

Having the ability to go half, three quarters and totally removed is worth the money. Depending on conditions and time of year you will want this ability! Well made and very durable. holds up to scratches very well. Takes a couple hours to install, but well made.

Overall

Great bike for the price. Improvements would be increased quality control on batteries and chargers, upgrading handlebar, and redesigning the battery terminals.

Buy it. It works fine for what it is.

Pros

Great value for an electric assist bike. Paid for itself in commuting savings not to mention health benefits.

Comfortable ride (thicker tires help)

Surprisingly quiet motor

Having both Pedal Assist and Twist features is nice

Cons

-Quality control issues combined with 90 day warranty:

-Battery replaced in two weeks (warranty replacement plus shipping charge) $25

-Charger replaced in four months $40

-Battery terminal 1 replaced in five months $20 (part only)

-Battery terminal 2 replaced in 11 months $20 (part only)

-Email customer service never replied to requests. Phone CS are helpful though.

Design Comments

-Basic handlebar design is generally uncomfortable, grips hurt hands without gloves

-Kind of slow with only 7 speeds

-Motor on another bike in the same line is 250 watt, not 450. Could this be marketing voodoo at work? Can't confirm this, though sounds iffy.

-Battery and Bike Weight

The SLA batteries work fine on this bike. These are most cost effective batteries on the market, not most advanced. If you want more of a performance feel to your bike, pony up 400 bucks for the Lithium battery.

Steel that is used in this bike frame is the most cost effective material and also the heaviest. Two other common bike frame materials, Aluminum and Carbon Fiber are much more expensive.

Currie offers the IZip line with improved components at a premium. Via Lento Aluminum frame with SLA battery (extra $200), Via Rapido aluminum frame with Lithium battery (extra $500).

I actually bought this bike from Walmart.com to save on shipping costs. I have had it for 2 months now. I have to say that for the price it is probably the best e-bike you can buy. My first real test for my bike was a sponsored event called 'Bike Around The Buttes'. A forty mile ride with a few hills but mostly flat. I had 2 batteries for this trip. I pedaled at a moderate pace (12-15 mph) in battery assist mode. I was very nervous because I did not think the batteries would last that long. Surprise, the first battery went twenty miles. good thing too because the batteries lasted a whole lot longer than my legs did (I am 65 and about 60 lbs over weight :-). The second battery went about 18 miles. I had forgot to charge it up the night before so it had a short trip to work and back on it. fortunately the first battery had partially come back to life and it brought me the rest of the way to the finish. I was still able to maintain about 12 mph.

The instructions tell you to discharge your battery 2 times completely to 'condition it', but I think this information is incorrect. Please read this article. I just found it today, essential reading IMHO.

The quality of components on my bike are ok for a commuter. The tires are great for street riding, brakes work good, shifting gears is easy, the rims are aluminum alloy and look nice, brakes work great, seat adj. is easy.

I am planning on upgrading the front forks, and the rear derailleur to improve the looks and performance of my bike. I have recently changed out the pedals to sealed bearing units.

Out of the box my bike needed some tuning. the wheels needed truing (I tend to be a perfectionist :-), brakes needed adjusting, and motor chain needed adjusting after the first couple of hours.

If I had it to do all over I would buy it again.

enjoy.

Best Deals for Currie Technologies eZip Men's Trailz Electric Bicycle

I have owned my eZip Trailz for a year now. I put on about 500 miles on it. I have found that for me an electric bike is the best, environmentally-friendly mode of short range transportation for commuting and pleasure. I have found that many on the market are too expensive and don't come with a free test ride. There are even some upwards of $1,000 that come with SLA batteries.

Pros:

+ affordable entry-level electric bicycle

+ reduction in carbon footprint

+ minimal sweat after a ride; longer distance achieved with same amount of effort as a non-electric bike. (This is the primary reason anyone would get an ebike, right?)

+ convenient battery lock and disconnection

+ free bicycle parking when commuting to work in the downtown zone

+ pedestrians and other bicyclists see you and whisper to each other "hey, that's an electric bike!"

+ torquey 450 watt motor

+ quiet operation

+ brakes and other components are more heavy duty in comparison to a non-electric bike

+ fat road tires are comfortable and has little rolling resisitance

+ 7-speed geared to allow a rider to pedal downhill up to 26 mph (but there is hardly any motor assist past 16 mph)

+ first electric bike; will not be the last. (I will never forget my "OMG!" feeling from the first ride.)

Cons:

bike not meant for trails (despite the name). Stay on roads and sidewalks to ensure the bike doesn't vibrate parts off.

bike is rear-heavy

rear rack support bars started rubbing away plastic battery casing leaving white powdery residue. Eventually lead to loud & annoying rubbing sounds when going over road bumps and cracks.

rear rack bolts loosened themselves off over time. (should've used loctite on them at the beginning)

left side terminal died after 300 miles. Right side died after 200 miles. Comes to find out, the positive wires connecting to the terminal blew off. Required new ring connectors and a little knowledge about cutting and crimping wires.

SLA battery shows weakness after 30-40 charges.

SLA battery drastically loses power after a few miles of riding. Battery didn't have the same amount of oomph as when new. Likely that the range suffers over time as well.(Tough to make it home if your ride ends at the top of a hill.)

After the breakdown at 500 miles, I removed the kit and rode the bike without the motor/battery for 100 miles without a problem. It felt just like a regular mountain bike. This year, I upgraded the bike with a brushless hub motor kit with a LiFEPO4 battery and have been riding for 600 miles now. The bike and all of its components has been holding itself well to the newly found power without a problem.

Honest reviews on Currie Technologies eZip Men's Trailz Electric Bicycle

Its about 3 weeks or so I have been using this bike. Easy to assemble bit heavy as expected for acid base batteries. I use it for my commute to and from Train station. I always use in peddle assist mode to enjoy my exercise and not that tired. Rides about 18-20 miles / charge. I wish it would be little lighter otherwise I would give 5 stars.

I ordered this to help me make a 14 mile commute. The bike came well packaged and mostly assembled. Just follow the good instructions and you'll be up and riding in about an hour. (without the battery as it needs 8 hours to charge.)

So far I've put on about 60 miles and here are my impressions:

1. The build quality is good, very strong frame. The rear brakes and derailleur came factory adjusted and I did not need to tweak them. Nice! The front brakes are adjusted during the assembly process, but it's easy.

2. I would recommend putting loctite on the pivot screw threads for the hand brakes. One of mine vibrated off (never to be found) within the first 3 hours of riding. And they are metric, just in case you have to go through the same thing. I also put loctite on the screws that secure the hand brakes to the handle bars as are similar.

3. The battery/motor combination seems well tuned. I set my expectations low and road the bike for awhile without the battery assist. Then on the hill up to our house I used the battery, what a difference it makes, wonderful!

4. Beware of the weight of the bike and battery when you dismount. I'm a bigger guy so it doesn't bother me too much, but you have to take care when you are off the bike if you lift the front tire and the bike is at an angle. The weight of the battery makes the bike want to fall over easier. It's best to grab the seat tube to maintain control when you are moving the bike around.

5. I thought the heavier bike and battery combination would make the bike difficult to move, but the low rolling resistance of the hybrid tires make the bike seem easier to move than my knobby tire mountain bike.

6. The brakes are good and wide to give extra stopping power.

7. I highly recommend the Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX with Side Panniers. It fastens to the rack solidly and has plenty of room.

8. If you are going to be riding this for more than 30 minutes at a time, I highly recommend getting one of the wide saddle seats with the gel inserts. Unless you are gifted with an iron butt, you'll figure this out soon enough.

Cheers and good riding!

XLC Thorn Resistant Boxed Tube - 29" x 1.9/2.3", PRESTA Review

Customer Ratings:

After the first 25 mile ride, the tube went flat. It was find for the entire ride, but the next morning it was flat. The shaft of the stem is not threaded like other presta valves (It is quite long though) I have been riding and working on bikes for 30 years and I made sure the tubes were in strait, and the valve stem was perpendicular to the rim, and I filled them to 65psi. But, right at the base of the valve stem it broke. I can't even patch it now. I hope the other one I purchased doesn't have the same problem. The tube is quite thick, and there are no other holes in the tube. Maybe I just got a bad tube, as the one in the other tire is still holding up. I will definitely make sure that valve stems are threaded on future presta tube purchases. That way I can cinch them down to the rim.

This tube is very thorn resistive. Where I ride there are a lot of goathead thornes that can eat up a standard tube. Been riding on this for a year now and still going.
