First Impressions: Practical Design with Comfort in Mind

Right out of the box, the Breeze Etrike makes a solid first impression. The trike’s sleek grey color, combined with both front and rear baskets, lends it a practical yet stylish look, especially at its $1,299 price point. One standout feature is the large saddle with a backrest, which provides welcome support while pedaling—a thoughtful addition that adds to the comfort of daily commutes or short trips.

As for setup, it’s worth knowing that a bit of assembly is required before you’re ready to ride. While the instructions are clear, installing the front wheel, stem, and a few other components takes some time and isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box experience. With a little patience, though, the Breeze eTrike quickly comes together, and it’s ready to roll in style and comfort.

Design and Features: Comfort and Stability Done Right

Let’s get into the design details. The Breeze Etrike has a super comfortable seat with a backrest, which really makes a difference on longer rides. Comfort and stability are what this trike’s all about, and with its low stand-over height and step-through frame, getting on and off is a breeze. The riding position is solid and stable, so you feel secure and at ease right from the start.

Then there are the wheels—front 16×4.0-inch and rear 18×4.0-inch fat tires. They give you that extra cushion, making the ride smoother and more versatile across different surfaces.

And the load capacity? Impressive. This trike can handle up to 450 pounds, with the rear basket alone rated for 100 pounds. Whether you’re using it for errands, hauling gear, or just cruising around, that’s a serious perk. And during the MEETONE promotion, those baskets come included for free, which is a great bonus at this price.

Power and Control: Smooth and Reliable Performance

The Breeze Etrike’s 750W rear hub motor provides a stable and balanced ride, distinguishing itself from trikes with front-hub motors. This motor, paired with a Shimano 7-speed gear system, makes the Breeze Etrike particularly approachable, even for beginners to electric trikes.

Although the top speed is capped at 16 mph (upgradable to 20 mph), which may seem conservative, it’s actually a well-suited limit for a trike—keeping things safe and manageable on three wheels.

The half-twist throttle is a welcome addition, allowing riders the option to switch between traditional pedaling and a scooter-like experience, which is great for relaxed cruising. The power delivery is smooth, and the throttle feels responsive without being overly powerful. I appreciated the effortless riding experience overall, whether gliding through suburban streets or tackling moderate hills; the motor provided a steady assist that felt well-matched to each situation.

It’s worth noting, though, that the Breeze relies on a more cost-effective cadence sensor instead of a torque sensor, which would offer a more refined pedal assist. That said, for everyday use, the Breeze Etrike still delivers a reliable, comfortable ride.

Battery and Range: Practical Power for Everyday Rides

The Breeze Etrike comes with a 48V, 10.4Ah battery, a fairly standard size in this range. While it’s not the largest capacity out there, it’s designed to be practical for daily use. The battery is easily removable with a simple twist of the key inserted at the back, unlocking it so you can slide it up and off the tray. This setup allows for charging both on and off the bike, making it convenient for users with limited charging access. There’s also a switch on top to turn off the battery when not in use, which can help retain some charge during storage. The 4-LED indicator on the back provides a quick view of battery levels—just press the button to check if the battery is on or off.

As for range, the estimate on MEETONE’s website is 10 to 50 miles, though this can vary widely. Given the weight of the trike and the rolling resistance from three wheels, 50 miles might be a stretch in most real-world conditions. A more realistic range, especially if you’re mixing pedal-assist and throttle, would likely fall between 20 to 30 miles. And keep in mind, heavy throttle use will impact your range, so a bit of pedaling goes a long way in stretching out your ride.

Braking Performance: Reliable and Secure with a Twist

The Breeze Etrike come equipped with mechanical brakes instead of the preferred hydraulic, but it makes up for it with some practical features that add both safety and convenience. This trike has a three-brake setup—one on the front and two on the rear wheels—all with 180mm rotors, giving it solid stopping power for a trike of its class. While mechanical brakes might not offer the same level of finesse as hydraulics, having three brakes helps distribute braking power, ensuring a steady and controlled stop.

A nice bonus with these brakes is the integrated parking brake pins. By pulling the brake lever and locking it in place, you effectively secure the trike, preventing it from rolling off, which can be especially handy on slopes. It’s a small but valuable feature—if you’ve ever parked a trike on a hill, you’ll know how easy it is for it to drift. Just a quick pull, click, and the trike stays put until you’re ready to roll again.

All things considered, while hydraulic brakes would be a great upgrade, the Breeze’s mechanical brakes handle the job well. They offer reliable control even at top speeds around 20 mph, making them a solid fit for this setup.

Riding Experience: Stable, Responsive, and Surprisingly Nimble

Taking the Breeze Etrike out for a ride, I was impressed by its stability and handling. A rear differential lets the wheels turn at different speeds, making it possible to pull off incredibly tight, zero-degree turns. This feature makes a big difference when navigating narrow areas or city streets, adding a level of maneuverability that’s rare in a trike. As for stability, I found it difficult to lift a wheel off the ground unless I deliberately leaned hard. The trike stays well-planted, allowing quick turns without sacrificing safety.

The cadence sensor offers smooth power through the pedal assist levels. In N gear, the speed limit is 15.5 mph (25 km/h). Pedal assist level 1 kicks in at 3.7 mph (6 km/h), level 2 brings me up to 7.8 mph (12.5 km/h), and level 3 reaches the top speed of 15.5 mph (25 km/h). Switching to S gear, the top speed increases to 19.9 mph (32 km/h). In level 1 of S gear, pedal assist gives 5 mph (8 km/h), level 2 brings me to 10 mph (16 km/h), and level 3 delivers the full 20 mph (32 km/h). Throttle-only mode can push the trike up to 20 mph, making it easy to switch between speeds on the fly. While there’s a bit of “ghost pedaling” at higher speeds, it’s manageable and doesn’t detract much from the ride.

The mechanical brakes also performed better than expected. With three brakes (one up front and two at the rear), the Breeze Etrike stops reliably and confidently—even at top speeds, it brought me to a stop in roughly 10 feet.

A final highlight is the reverse mode, which is super convenient for backing out of tight spots or navigating city alleys. Overall, the Breeze Etrike provides a stable, smooth ride with just the right mix of speed, control, and convenience.

Final Thoughts: A Well-Balanced Trike for Comfort and Everyday Utility

All in all, the Meet One Breeze Folding Electric Trike brings a lot of value to the table. At a price of $1,299, it’s designed to offer a comfortable and stable ride, especially appealing for those who prioritize practicality over high speeds or off-road capabilities. The roomy baskets, solid motor performance, and thoughtful design details, like the low step-through frame and supportive backrest, make it a standout option for commuting, running errands, or taking leisurely rides around town.

While it’s not equipped for rough terrain or extreme ranges, it shines in its reliability and ease of use, making it ideal for daily trips. For riders seeking a well-rounded, affordable trike that handles real-world conditions with stability and ease, the Breeze is a strong contender that’s well worth a closer look.
