sixthreezero Two Front Wheel Electric Trike

14 reasons not to buy

• Testers complain about the trike's unstable handling and overly sensitive steering.

• Reviewers say the trike’s unusual handling demands a lot of practice in order to feel safe.

• sixthreezero claims this trike is “an excellent choice for individuals with balance issues or mobility challenges,” but experts feel its unsuitable for such riders.

• The mechanical front brakes need "perfect" adjustment, or else the trike pulls to one side when braking.

• Experts advise against using the reverse function due to its impracticality and potential to cause loss of balance. sixthreezero admits including this was a manufacturing mistake.

• A reviewer notes that the brake cables, positioned too close to the ground with excess slack, might snag during rides.

• Despite its three-wheel design, the bike can tip over when stationary, necessitating a kickstand.

• The range from the small 10.4Ah battery disappoints experts at this price point.

• When unlocked, this trike can reach speeds up to 25mph with the throttle. This is too fast for a trike with poor handling, and it exceeds Class 2 limits.

• The taillight is externally powered.

• The front fenders rattle considerably.

• A reviewer finds that the optional seat with a backrest pushes the rider too far forward, causing discomfort.

• The sixthreezero website lists contradictory specs for range (40 or 50 miles) and payload capacity (300lb or 350lb).

• Multiple sixthreezero buyers complain of poor customer support, defective products, and difficulty with warranty claims.
