What made you want to get an eTrike?

For me, it was health. I started having balance issues from a medical condition, and riding a regular bike just wasn’t safe anymore.

Tried an eTrike one day and was hooked. Stable, smooth, and fun. It gave me the freedom to ride again without worrying about falling over.

Honestly, one of the best things I’ve done for myself.

The Tariff's impact on electric vehicles, electric trikes and mobility scooters

TrikeAndScoot.com — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 21:40:28 +0000

Most electric trikes and mobility scooters are manufactured or assembled in China or Southeast Asia. Due to ongoing Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports, many of these products face an additional 25% tariff, increasing retail prices across the board.

Result: What would cost $2,000 may now be $2,500 or more.
Price-sensitive customers, like seniors and disabled individuals, are especially affected.

What can you do to avoid it?

ETR100 three wheeled scooter

Hello, I must have bought one of the last of these guys that you sold. I've been quite happy with it have had it almost a year. Biggest problem thus far was one of the mirrors got loose figured that out but I'm looking for maintenance information on the scooter if it exists someplace. This "looks" like it might be a massimo product which is probably what I need to know if I talk to a bike shop local to me here in North Carolina (Jacksonville area 28546) I think I need a bike shop over a mobility scooter shop but there aren't any of those nearby either. Was sorry to see you get away from this product line but I guess it just depends on what you can sell more than anything else.

Looking for an Electric Trike for My Mom (Stroke Recovery)

James — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:25:52 +0000

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for an electric trike for my mom, who is recovering from a stroke and would love to get back into outdoor riding. I’d appreciate any suggestions for models or brands that would suit her needs. Below is some background and what I’m looking for:

Background:
My mom is in her 60s and had a stroke a few years ago, which left her with limited movement on her left side. While she’s made great progress in recovery, she still struggles with balance. Recently, she’s expressed interest in riding a trike, especially an electric one, which could help her with stability and allow her to ride longer distances. I’m looking for something that can provide the right amount of assistance, comfort, and stability for her to ride on quiet roads and bike paths.

What I’m looking for:

Electric Assist: I want her to be able to ride longer distances without tiring herself out, so an e-trike with electric assist is ideal.
Comfort and Stability: Since balance is a concern, comfort and stability are top priorities.
For Everyday Riding: It should be suitable for short rides on paved, flat surfaces. No need for a cargo bike—just something for leisurely rides.
Reliable Brand: Looking for something durable and long-lasting.

If anyone knows of any brands or models that fit these needs, or if you have recommendations for places where she can test ride a trike, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
