Excellent video. That explanation was crystal clear. One feature that I noticed on the Scorpion is that it appears to include a "chain gobbler". That means that the boom length can be adjusted quite a bit without having to add or remove chain links. I have a non-electric Catrike Villager ($3000) and I really love it, but it's really a one-person trike. If you have to adjust the boom length more than an inch or so, you have to add or remove chain links. I believe it's possible to add an after-market "chain gobbler" to some trikes.

Why do I always have to like the MOST expensive one???? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. That seat alone had me sold! Lol 😂

I bought an EVO in March and am enjoying it. I don't see myself ever upgrading to a 12 thousand dollar model though.

If you compare high-end trikes with other forms of outdoor recreation such as a Jet Ski you'll discover the expensive trike is about on par with midrange Jet Skis' according to my research. The trike, however, is generally speaking rideable year-round and provides a greater degree of exercise, in my opinion.

My similar high price "Hase" includes 2WD, Rohloff gearbox.
Easiest by far, side-saddle on/off! Even if to/from a wheelchair!
Run dog offroad, or.., pull a Wee One on snow on bicycle path!
Once Rohloff, never again cassette!
Most suspension under your torso and any cargo, and NOT under your knees! LOL!
Single steer tire best for 95++% of all riders!
25-inch seat height "Hase Lepus" here.
Store vertically upright in your house/garage too.
"Hase" does offer folding models too.

The owner was very nice and helpful but I had to rewatch the video and pause it to find out what shop he had. A link in the description would be nice for him. Or maybe I missed it?

Even at 5K, they are out of reach for most people. That includes me. A step thru e-bike with a Bosch motor is 2.5K which also seems too expensive. But it's battery probably won't blow up.

[jjwalter]

The number of gears is irrelevant. What are the ratios between the high and low gears?

[StandForFreedom]

lol. He is a sales person. IT's easy to compare a YUGO to a Lexus because the differences are so great. I like to see him compare it to say a CATRIKE. For 12K I should by a car. HP is well over priced and the differences do not make up the difference.

[TheLionsDen]

They are comparing apples to oranges here. The HP is an over-engineered trike made in Germany. There is a considerable portion of cost just in tarrifs and shipping it here to the states. Dont get me wrong, it is a nice trike, but so etimes, over-engineered can equal over complicated. Im not a fan of the Terratrike but the fact that it costs less doesnt make it less valuable.
Comparing these two against each othere is very misleading. Recumbent trikes at the tier 1, top tier lvl should always be looked at for purpose not necessarily price.
Doesnt matt if it cost $120 or $12, 000, 8f it doesnt fit you properly, it becomes a big paperweight and a waste of money.
As a recumbent rider, I always say to get what feels right to your body. Trike are about comfort and staying active.

[nighthiker]

You could have air ride! that could also, left up the seat.

[rdkuless]

Catrikes do not make good Etrikes.. the frame flexes to much from side to side.. and coming down a hill on a curve that flex can make the catrike unstable (shimmy) making you feel like it could tip.. and the HP also have a tendency to tip/roll.
After about 10k miles on two brands of trike: catrike and AZUB.. i would definitely choose the AZUB or ICE trike for E-assist machine.. The frames are very stiff and give you the needed stability on turns and rough roads.
I chose the T-tris and added a Bafang BBSHD, and 2 batteries with t-cycle battery mounts. it is the perfect combination.

[roywilkie]

I'm waiting for the day that everyone on ebikes & etrikes realizes they're just riding mopeds.
maybe then the human powered vehicle will make a comeback.

[BoingMediaGroup]

LOL, $12k.. what a joke. 500% profit margin is the reason.

[driewiel]

The $12000 is red. Red is always more expensive.
