Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Bee Cool Bee Zipper. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

This trike comes with parking brakes, fenders, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation and turn signals.
Reviewers enjoy the comfortable ride position and plush saddle.
The Bee Zipper handles moderate hills under throttle power alone.
The Bee Zipper has a 500lb payload capacity, and the massive 60L rear basket is rated to carry 300lb.
The suspension fork has lockout and preload adjustment, and an expert says it smooths out bumps well.
The wide and low step-through frame is easy to mount and dismount.

12 reasons not to buy

The 28mph top speed is dangerously high for an e-trike.
Reviewers find the assembly extremely difficult, blaming misaligned rear baskets, loose drivetrain components, and brakes that require adjustment.
Testing shows the mechanical disc brakes deliver weak stopping power.
A reviewer notes a one-second delay in throttle response.
At a claimed 100lb, the Bee Zipper is relatively heavy for an e-trike.
A tester complains of a rattling noise from the rear when riding over rough pavement.
The throttle exceeds the 20mph speed limit, making this e-trike illegal in most jurisdictions.
The bike’s bulky folded state limits its usefulness.
The Bee Zipper's speedometer reads roughly eight miles per hour higher than an external GPS.
An expert finds the display dim and hard to read in bright sunlight.
The slow 2A charger means a charging time of around nine hours.
The display doesn't have icons to show that the turn signals are active.

Bottom line

Bee Cool's Bee Zipper is an electric tricycle with a 750W motor and a top speed that's both dangerously high and exceeds legal limits. Battery range isn't tested, but reviewers praise the climbing ability, useful accessories, and high payload capacity. Difficult final assembly, weak mechanical brakes, and the dim, inaccurate display count against this trike. The high weight and bulk also make the folding feature impractical. Overall, the Bee Zipper fails to impress. A better-regarded alternative is Lectric’s XP Trike2.
