First Impressions: A Stylish and User-Friendly Ride
From the moment I unboxed the MeetOne Tour, I was impressed by the attention to detail in its packaging. It arrived meticulously wrapped, ensuring that everything from the display to the delicate components was well protected. Kudos to MeetOne for their excellent packing job! As I removed the foam and straps, it became clear that this trike was designed with user experience in mind.
One of the standout features is how straightforward the assembly process is. With just a few steps, I was able to attach the front wheel and fenders, all while enjoying a clear and informative manual filled with large pictures—perfect for visual learners. I appreciated the handy tips sprinkled throughout the assembly process, like remembering to remove the plastic piece from the brake calipers before attaching the front wheel; these little details can make a big difference in ease of setup.
Once assembled, the MeetOne Tour flaunts its sleek, high-gloss grey finish, which really catches the eye. It not only looks stunning but also feels sturdy and reliable. I couldn’t wait to take it for a spin! With its UL certification, this trike promises both safety and performance, making it a great choice for riders of all kinds. I’m excited to see how it rides and the features it offers on the road.
Design and Features: Comfortable and Capable
What immediately stood out during my first ride on the MeetOne Tour E-Trike was the exceptional comfort provided by its semi-recumbent electric tricycle design. The low, ergonomic seating position promotes a relaxed and natural posture. I really love how it enhances comfort on longer rides, allowing you to rest against the backrest while pedaling.
In addition to the comfortable seat, the MeetOne Tour boasts an impressive load capacity of 550 lbs, accommodating a variety of riders and their gear. It comes equipped with a large rear cargo basket that can hold up to 100 lbs, providing ample space for essentials. This makes it perfect for park outings or shopping trips, ensuring you have everything you need without compromising on stability.
Moreover, the Tour E-Trike features a dedicated trailer mounting point. This adaptability opens up possibilities for different use cases, whether you’re hauling extra cargo or embarking on longer adventures. The combination of comfort, functionality, and adaptability makes this trike a standout option for those seeking a versatile riding experience.
Another standout feature of the MeetOne Tour is its lighting system. The headlight is bright and powerful, providing excellent visibility, even during low-light conditions. The taillights on the fenders are also notably bright, ensuring you’re seen from behind, which is essential for safety when riding at night or in dimmer environments. The turn signals functional serve their purpose well.
What really impressed me about the MeetOne Tour E-Trike was its full suspension system. Equipped with a double shoulder suspension fork and dual rear shocks, the suspension effectively absorbs road vibrations and bumps, delivering a ride that’s smooth and enjoyable, even on uneven or bumpy terrain. Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling more rugged paths, the suspension ensures that comfort remains at the forefront, making for a stable and cushioned ride.
Power and Range: Smooth and Responsive Performance
The MeetOne Tour E-Trike is powered by dual 750W hub motors, delivering a smooth and reliable boost during my ride. With a speed cap set at 16 mph in its default mode, the trike offered a comfortable and steady pace across various terrains.
The combination of front and rear motors ensures strong torque and smooth acceleration, making it easy to cruise on flat roads or tackle mild inclines. Once unlocked, the top speed increases to around 23.5 mph, which provides a significant boost for those looking for a faster ride on straight paths or less challenging routes.
One feature that sets the MeetOne Tour apart is its torque sensor. Unlike traditional cadence sensors, the torque sensor responds to how much pressure you’re putting on the pedals, giving you a more natural and controlled feel while riding. The sensor allows for a balanced amount of effort, so you don’t feel like you’re fighting the motor to pedal. It’s surprisingly light and smooth, making the transition between assist levels seamless. When I first tried it, I thought, “Is this really a torque sensor?” because the ride felt so effortless.
This setup also gives you better control over your speed, which is especially important for seniors or riders who prefer a more gradual acceleration. Instead of the motor immediately kicking in at the highest assist level like a cadence sensor would, the torque sensor adjusts power based on how hard you pedal, making it easier to maintain a controlled pace. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely ride or something a bit faster, the MeetOne Tour lets you find the perfect balance of power and effort.
Battery and Range: Exceptional Power for Long Rides
The MeetOne Tour E-Trike is equipped with a dual 15Ah Samsung Cell Battery system, offering an impressive combination of range and reliability. These high-capacity batteries are designed to support longer rides without the worry of frequent recharging, making them perfect for extended commutes or weekend adventures. With a potential range of 55 to 130 miles, depending on factors like terrain, rider weight, and assist levels, this trike delivers plenty of power to keep you going all day.
In my experience, a realistic range for most riders falls closer to the 55-75 mile mark, particularly if you’re using a mix of pedal assist and throttle. However, for those looking to push the limits, the 100-mile range is certainly achievable under optimal conditions, such as flat terrain and minimal use of higher power levels. The battery system is UL2271 Certified, ensuring a high standard of safety and performance.
The battery is conveniently removable for easy charging, whether on or off the trike, and I appreciated how simple it was to swap out if needed. Overall, the MeetOne Tour’s battery system offers exceptional reliability, making it an ideal choice for riders who need both range and durability for daily use or longer trips.
Braking Performance: Strong and Reliable Stopping Power
The MeetOne Tour E-Trike is equipped with 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, providing each wheel with its own brake system for reliable, powerful stopping performance. From the moment I first tested the brakes, I was impressed by their responsiveness and consistency. The hydraulic brakes offered a smooth, controlled stop, whether I was cruising on flat terrain or slowing down on a slight incline. The stopping power felt solid and confident, giving me peace of mind when navigating through intersections or coming to a halt after a longer ride.
One feature that stood out was the locking mechanism for the brakes. It’s a simple yet effective design. When you flip the small black lever to the “off” position and press the brake lever, the parking brake engages, ensuring the trike stays securely in place, even on inclines. To release the parking brake, simply flip the lever to the “on” position, and the brake is unlocked. This intuitive system is easy to operate and adds a layer of convenience, especially when you’re stopping to load up groceries or take a break.
Riding Experience: Smooth and Adjustable with Impressive Stability
Riding the MeetOne Tour E-Trike is a smooth and stable experience, with a few standout features that enhance both comfort and control. One of the first things I noticed was the 7-speed gearing system. Unlike single-speed trikes, which often lead to ghost pedaling at higher speeds, the 7 gears give you a great range of options. Whether you’re cruising at a slow pace or pushing through tougher terrain, you can easily shift to find the right level of resistance. I found the gear transitions to be smooth, and being able to adjust the pedal effort really added to the comfort of the ride.
The trike’s speed management is also well thought out. At pedal assist level 1, the trike operates in single motor mode, offering a more energy-efficient experience. At level 2, the trike switches to dual motor mode for increased power, though with a focus on economy. At pedal assist level 3, you get the full power of dual motors in sport mode, allowing for faster acceleration and a more dynamic ride. The speed is not capped at any level, and with pedal assist, the top speed can reach 23.5 mph, depending on your pedal pressure.
The throttle itself has a maximum speed of 16 mph in default mode, but once unlocked, it can also reach 23.5 mph. This flexibility gives riders the ability to adjust their pace as needed, from a leisurely ride to a more thrilling experience.
As for stability, this trike excels. I didn’t feel any tipping or instability, even when making sharp turns at higher speeds. The frame is well-designed, keeping the trike grounded and confident on both tight corners and more open stretches. Whether you’re navigating a narrow path or cruising through a neighborhood, you can rely on the Tour to stay firmly planted.
And when it comes to maneuvering, the electric reverse mode is a game-changer. Just press and hold the “-” button, and the trike moves in reverse with ease, making parking or backing out of tight spaces effortless. It’s a feature that not only reduces physical strain but also makes it easier to handle the trike in tricky situations.
Value for Money: Is It Worth the Price?
Priced at $3,299, the MeetOne Tour E-Trike is certainly a premium option in the electric trike market. While it’s more expensive than some basic models, this price is justified when you consider the range of features and performance it offers. The dual 750W motors, long-lasting Samsung cell battery system, full suspension, and 7-speed gearing make this trike a solid investment for riders seeking comfort, stability, and versatility on both urban roads and more rugged terrain.
At this price point, you’re not just paying for the basics. The added value comes from the thoughtful design and top-notch components—like the responsive hydraulic brakes, powerful lighting system, and user-friendly features like the torque sensor and electric reverse mode. These elements elevate the MeetOne Tour beyond just a standard e-trike, making it a great option for those who value both performance and convenience.
Of course, if you’re simply looking for a more basic, budget-friendly trike for short commutes or leisurely rides, you may find Meet One Breeze that meet your needs. But for those seeking a high-quality, feature-packed electric tricycle that’s built to handle long rides, heavy cargo, and varying terrains with ease, the MeetOne Tour E-Trike provides great value for its price.
Please update the backrest to be adjustable.
