Default 3-wheel Electric Bike Referrals

My health demands I change from a 2 wheel bicycle to a 3 wheel powered/electric bike. I've been doing a lot of research, but the 3 wheel versions seem much more rare and harder to find. Meaning, Local shops don't carry them and online shopping is risky and costly to return items.

I do see a retail store in Clearwater (Wheels 'n Drones) that sells the Addmotor brand (Model M-340) of 3 wheelers. I'll be giving them a call.

Does anyone have, or know someone who has, a fat tire 3 wheel electric bike they're thrilled with?

OPINION-mine. Re: health issues. Perhaps, a woman's bike-step through frame would help you. If, you have ridden a two wheel bike around here, a three wheeled bike is of course wider and less maneuverable. My sister, does not live in Fla, bought a three wheeled bicycle. I gave her the same advice. She never rides it. Of course she would not say-yes, you told me.

Balance issues recommends a 3 wheel. Step thru women’s bike will not correct the potential of losing balance in a turn, and the falls that could be potential fractures. Smaller base 3 wheels are coming on the market, even though they are wider, it’s a safe way for someone to still enjoy a bike ride to and from home, instead of to a trip to ED.

I also needed a three wheel bike because of balance issues. I was fortunate to find a used one in good shape that I was able to get for a decent price. It is electric, has fat tires and I find it easy to ride. The most important thing to remember is that it's heavy and needs a lot of time and thought before making turns. Because of the heaviness, I need to use a tad of electric to be able to pedal for exercise. Make sure that you have enough room in your garage because it takes up a lot of space.

I used to ride an electric powered tricycle in order to commute to work. I recommend you get one with 2 wheels in the front and 1 in the back. I believe it will be safer around corners.

Default Tadpole Bike

I have the same problem. Seems best bet is a 3 wheel "Tadpole. Village Cycles will sell you one or companies like this link.

Default 4 wheel bikes

They are also selling 4 wheel bikes now. Might want to compare those since more stable than 3 wheelers….

My wife has one that she likes. We are in the Lopez area of The Villages if you'd like to look at it.

I bought a RAD Ebike online and was perfectly satisfied. There are several brands that are headquartered in the US that have good reputations and sell online.
