Hey, everyone. I'm Dustin, CEO of Sixthreezero. And today, I'm going to take our e-rickshaw tricycle for passengers off-road to show you the capabilities of the 750-watt electric tricycle. So stick around.
All right. So I have the Sixthreezero e-trike rickshaw with the passenger seat on the back. This is a very, very powerful electric trike. Now, one thing I want to point out as well, the seat is completely removable and we will have a basket as an option that you can put back here if you don't want to ride with the seat. So it's going to allow you to carry things with you. If you want to do some other riding and you don't want the seat on there, you can always take it off. But you're not going to feel much difference by leaving it on there or taking it off. You don't need to take it off to go off-roading or on-roading.
I'm going to take us up this dirt trail today. Now, the beauty of this e-trike is the fat tires, four-inch wide tires, 20-inch in the rear, and a 24-inch in the front. What's cool about that is setting it lower in the rear so the passengers sit a little bit lower, making it safe for the riders, and then you get the bigger front wheel. This thing is very powerful. It's a 750-watt front hub motor e-trike here. And I just want to demonstrate to you how easily this will handle these big hills, get you around so you can off-road, do whatever you want, take passengers. This is a very, very versatile three-wheel electric bike.
I'm 220 pounds. I don't know if you can see the hill up there. I'm going to show you how this performs with me as the driver. Now, passengers up a hill like this on a dirt trail, it's going to be a little bit more challenging. You could do it, but you're going to probably have to be... Well, you're probably not. You're going to have to be in a pedal assist level five and it requires a little bit of work. You're not going to be able to bring passengers up this type of hill with the motor alone. You're going to have to exert some energy, and use the pedal assist because again, that's a big hill.
So I'm going to go ahead and get on here and demonstrate to you. Now, again these four-inch tires, they're super versatile. You can take them on the trails. You can go on the pavement. You name it. Are we ready? All right. Let's go ahead and do this. Now I'm going to downshift just a little bit. There we go. All right. And we're off and running. Now this is a pretty bumpy trail here. You can see. And we're still doing it. And pretty steep. Now, it's hard to demonstrate... Let me go ahead and go ahead around that little rock area. It's really hard to demonstrate on camera how steep and bumpy this is. There we go. Now we're cooking. And once we get to the top here, we'll go ahead and look down so you guys can see what it looks like.
So I'm in pedal assist level five and we're up. Now, what's crazy is... Well, here, I'm going to turn around. Now if you can go ahead and shoot back down there. You can see where we came from. It's a little bit hard because of all the rain here in California, we got a lot of growth. Let's see. So check this out. We'll do a little off-roading through here. We're deep in the shrubs here we're going to show you. I'm just going to use the throttle. And you can see I can power right through all this stuff. All right. We're going to show you just a little bit more how we can take down the shrubbery here. You can see it's no match for these four-inch tires. Just bulldozing down trees and shrubs. And here we come. Yep. Oh. We're stuck. We're going. We're going. I wouldn't recommend this, but you can do it. And we're out. So this thing's powerful.
All right. Let's mount up and we'll take on one other hill. If you can look up there to the top, we'll go ahead and ride to the top of that too. So come along. All right. Now we're going to go all the way to the top of that hill up there. Again, I'm 220 pounds, so you can come with us on the ride on the trail here. We're going to make it all the way to the top. Show them the top. Yep. All right. Here we go. Let's make sure the seatbelt isn't flopping around. Oh, there we go. All right. I'll just use the throttle through this. Once we get a little steeper, I'll need to start using pedal assist. I got it in first gear right now for when I start pedaling. All right. Right about now. And you can see we're on a slope right here. Just got to lean a little bit to the right. Not too bad. Having the 20-inch in the rear really helps to keep the weight down. We are making it, people.
Go ahead and stop here for a second. All right. We did it. So on steep, steep hills, definitely going to be a little bit of a challenge, but we made it. I think the trickiest part is just steering on the unbalanced trail. So we'll ride a little farther down right here, and then we'll come back and make a turn and go back down the hill.
All right. So we just took the e-bike rickshaw off-roading. That was a lot of fun. I'll tell you what. I love these trails and it's cool with these four-inch tires. You can take this. This is a multi-purpose e-trike. You can have the passengers. You don't have to have passengers. You can see you can just buckle up the seatbelt here. And this thing rides like a beauty. You honestly don't even feel the difference with the seat on the back when you're riding. So check it out on our website.
