    1. You’d have to build them youself, and unfortunately there are many challenges that come with trikes. No parking, low max speed, and typically they’re non-serviceable, which means if you put a lot of miles on them you’ll be having to replace the rear gearing section for $150+ quite frequently or have a machinist fix it for a fair price.

      On the other hand, electric bikes can be serviced quickly and far cheaply, and require less servicing and have higher durability.
