Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Viribus TriGo. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Aug 21, 2024 by Reda Ashour.

9 reasons to buy

  • This bike is available in three builds: TriGo (250W), TriGo Plus (350W), and TriGo Pro (350W and suspension).
  • Buyers can choose 24” or 26” wheels.
  • Reviewers say the low step-through frame is easy to mount and dismount.
  • The TriGo includes a rear basket, parking brake, fenders, a horn, and a headlight.
  • Experts relish the smooth acceleration from the 350W motor (Pro and Plus).
  • Testers of the Pro and Plus appreciate the consistent speed increases between pedal assist levels.
  • Owners and reviewers enjoy the comfortable ride.
  • The TriGo comes in six different colors, and testers compliment the paint finish.
  • A tester rides 10 miles and only uses two of five bars on the battery indicator.

12 reasons not to buy

  • Three testers say the motor cuts out intermittently while riding.
  • An expert and multiple owners say the TriGo doesn’t track straight because the rear axle isn’t perpendicular to the frame.
  • A 5’11” reviewer says their knees almost touch the handlebars while pedaling.
  • Experts and owners find assembly very complicated and time-consuming.
  • Testers and buyers receive bikes with missing or incorrect parts.
  • Viribus claims the rear basket supports 110lb, but experts doubt this capacity, calling the basket rickety.
  • The reflector on the seatpost blocks battery removal.
  • The ill-fitting fenders and chain guard rattle and rub, according to owners and experts.
  • The base build’s V-brake and band brake combination deliver poor stopping power in testing.
  • Two experts say the chain falls off during testing.
  • Buyers find Viribus’s customer support unresponsive and unhelpful.
  • Viribus provides contradictory specs about the builds, such as bike weight and rider height.

Bottom line

The Viribus TriGo is a budget e-trike available in three builds, each with the choice of 24” or 26” wheels. The base build has single-speed gearing and a 250W motor; the Plus and Pro builds have 350W motors, 7-speed gearing, and mechanical disc brakes. The step-through frame, smooth power delivery, and low price win points with reviewers. However, frequent complaints indicate a lack of quality control. Testers report motor cut-offs, instability, ill-fitting or missing parts, arduous assembly, and slipping chains. The flimsy rear basket, measly height range, and weak motors also disappoint. The TriGo seems like a bargain, but buyers should consider a more reliable alternative.
