Has anyone added an electric motor to the tricycle?

.... nope, only peddle power. Still works good after much over weight abuse.

I rode something very similar to Jetson once and it was hands down the best electric bike I have ever ridden. It was lighter, faster in acceleration, and more maneuverable than and other electric bike I have been on before or since. Unfortunately it was a only demo from China, brought in by our company president or I would have bought it. Believe me, I sure tried!

I bought this trike for my daughter earlier today and my husband put it together without any trouble. He did you a small electric hand drill, that may have helped with the assembly. So far, my daughter is truly enjoying this trike.

I bought mine from Golden motor Canada,. Google it. They have a variety if items for the electric conversions. Although if you are not willing to wait on postal shipping can be pretty expensive. Also you can check out JS Greenmachine on eBay if he has them in stock it may be cheaper.

No. But I installed the electric starter from the blown motor I was replacing and it works great.

Absolutely this tricycle would be awesome. I made this selection for my then 3yr grandson for his birthday. Although he has since move on to a bike with training wheels...he still uses this trike also. It looks sharp and has all the bells and whistles. Excellent choice.

I knowingly tried using a 9 volt battery with PWM, just for getting a project started, knowing I should get the 3 volt battery. I spun one of the gears right off the motor! Stick with 3 volts.

Surprisingly yes. The motor seems fine. Every other part of this machine is junk.

No, but it can be done easily enough. There is ample room inside to put a battery and an electric motor. You will have to make your own shaft, and gear it to the speed you want.

I'm sorry I can't help. My grandson used the motor in a school project which unfortunately was destroyed by some unknown person at his school. We did not keep the booklet that came with the motor. I hope one of the other purchasers will have the information you need.

Nope. Way too small - it can run on a 9v battery. It's a GREAT motor for what it is, but it is small.

I am not sure it can be used on a tricycle. Normally the tricycle has two rear wheels. This attaches to the rear single wheel on a bicycle. The item can however be converted to be a bike rack where it attaches underneath the seat. I have not used it in that way as of yet. But perhaps it could attach underneath a tricycle seat. Just not sure.

I would think so. My son had actually seen the electric version of this. But with four wheelers and side by sides here I didn't think he needed another electric toy. He still loves it.

Joey, I have not used this motor to date. I purchase the motor to put on a new 20' Bennington that came in in January. My dealer and my son assured me the motor would work well. The other reason I chose the motor is that I only had storage for a single battery, and a larger motor requires two batteries. Mick

I'm sorry, our grandson has outgrown this trike and we sold it. You should contact Kettrike; as I remember, they were helpful with questions we had! Good luck, I hope it works out 'cuz this is a wonderful trike!!!!
