How To Remove Seat on Electric Bike Rickshaw & Install a Basket | 3 Wheel EBike with Seat & Basket

Hey guys. Dustin here. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. And today I'm going to show you an e-bike rickshaw electric trike that you can remove the passenger seat and put a basket on. Stick around.

All right. So behind me, I have the sixthreezero e-bike rickshaw. This is our frame right here, the swooping frame, but this was a prototype we made with a little different frame. But the top tube is the only difference between these two bikes. The actual frame and the chassis are identical. And you can see right here I have one with the passenger seat installed and I have this one with the passenger seat removed.

So to install the passenger seat it's just four bolts. If you want to come over here and take a look. Right here on the chassis here, you've got your four bolts on top. So if you want to take the seat on and off, it's very easy to loosen and reinstall those bolts or take it off. So if you want to ride it as a trike like this without the seat, it's very easy. We also have a basket that will be available that you can install back here, so you can swap the basket and the passenger seat. As of now, the passenger seat comes standard. You can purchase the basket separately. You could choose which ride you want to do. The fenders do attach to the seat. There will be an attachment on the basket. So you can't have the fenders if you don't have the basket or the seat. You'd have to have one or the other to have the fenders in the rear. But if you're going to ride like this, you don't necessarily need the fenders. Totally up to you.

So you can see without the seat it's a little bit longer of a trike, but it still looks great. And that little added length and those lower wheels in the back gives you a nice base, low to the ground and it's very balanced and very easy to steer. You can see from all the videos that I've done how balanced and easy it is to ride the e-bike rickshaw. So if you take the seat off, you're removing a little bit of weight and it's set lower in the rear. It's easy to drive. And with these four-inch fat tires, again, great balance. So you can see here's what it looks like with a seat, without a seat. It drives great with both to be honest.

And I'll just show you quickly. If you're going to put the seat back on, you're just going to lift and you would just line it up right here where the holes are and you would put your bolts in, tighten them down. I recommend a ratcheting wrench. It would be quick to get it on, and you're back in business. And there you go. Now you have your tricycle e-bike, and rickshaw tricycle with a passenger seat.
