Worried About Falling on an Electric Tricycle? This Fall Prevention E-Trike is the Answer!

An incredible fall-prevention electric tricycle. Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry, and today I'm gonna show you an e-trike that won't let you fall. I've got our Simple Glide model e-trike, our standard tire one, and our fat tire one.This is an e-trike that is nearly impossible to fall on or tip. I know a lot of riders out there who are seniors or elderly or anyone who has bad balance, they want a trike that will have fall prevention so they don't have to run the risk of tipping over. Now, while there's no design to eliminate the risk of ever falling, this e-trike is the most balanced, safe e-trike that I've ever ridden, and I'll explain why. Now, I've done hundreds of test riders with all different types of riders types and levels and abilities, and ages. They all come back to this one as the most balanced, least likely to tip, so they don't have to worry about falling, and I'm gonna walk you through why. So, number one to start, if you can tell, this is a recumbent style trike. It has a longer frame with the pedals out in front of the rider's body. Now, I need to move the seat back just a touch, there we go. So, you can see that having that longer frame creates a more stable base for this e-trike, So when you turn, you don't have to worry about the wheels coming up in the back. If you have a more compact standard trike, the rider's going to sit up higher, and that's where a lot of the fall risk comes from. When you have the weight higher up, if you lean or tilt the wrong way and you get your weight going in a certain direction, you could tip the trike.

 With the lower center of gravity, even if I lean here, right, it's not going to lift those rear tires. So number one, it makes this incredibly safe to turn on. Now you can see on the fat tire version, if you want to upgrade to the bigger motor and the wider tires, you have 4-inch wide tires on this version. So double the tires of this one, even increasing the stability more. So this is the ultimate in terms of fall prevention on an e-trike. You can turn on this, you can do whatever, and you'll never tip. Now, all of these also have a rear differential in the back. On a lot of trikes, when you pedal, you only power one of the wheels. What this does with the differential is when you pedal, you send power to both of the rear wheels. So that's going to help with the traction and stability of your e-trike. So when you're taking turns, or if you're on loose, you might ride over some loose sand or something, having both of those tires get power will keep traction down again to add to the safety and stability of the e-trike. Now, another thing that I see happen with a lot of people who have a risk of falling is if you're sitting upright on a small seat, there could be the risk of you just falling off the seat, right? So let's say you start leaning and you slip out of the seat. The cool thing about this version is you have these armrests, right? So as you step in, you sit down, now you put your armrests down, and you are safe and secure in the seat. So it's not a seatbelt, but it keeps your body tucked in, right? So if you just so happen to get going in a certain direction, the armrests are gonna keep you in. And I've seen a handful of people who do, they don't crash the trike, but they may slide off the seat and getting into a seat like this, they feel way safer.

They feel like they're not gonna fall. And even if you lose your weight balance a little bit, the trike won't tip. And the armrest will catch you. So it is a nice feature to have if you have bad balance and you're worried about, you know, you don't feel safe on the seat or the seat feels too small and you want to feel like you're a part of the trike, right? So you've got this nice big seat where it keeps you in the cockpit of the trike. You have a nice high backrest here, which is very comfortable. The controls are super easy, the handlebars come right into your body. It is the ultimate comfort trike coupled with being the safest trike that's just not going to tip over, and it's got all of these features to prevent anyone from falling on it at all.
