SixThreeZero Easy Transit 750W Folding E-Trike Review

As a tricycle, the Easy Transit Folding E-Trike comes with certain expected characteristics that may require some adjustment for those used to riding on two wheels. With that in mind, we found the trike’s ride quality to be generally solid and satisfying.

When turning, all tricycles require careful attention to weight distribution to avoid tipping up on two wheels. As a rider, this is done by tilting your upper body into the turn – and perhaps most importantly, slowing down! The Easy Transit’s low center of gravity helps it to feel stable and balanced, but these handling characteristics are still important to keep in mind when transitioning from a bicycle to a trike.

In terms of comfort, I found the Easy Transit’s upright riding position to be pleasant, relaxing, and conducive to observing my surroundings. Its wide, cruiser-style saddle and ergonomic faux leather grips added to its overall comfort level, which was dialed in further with multiple points of adjustability.

The Easy Transit fits riders from 4’6” to 6’5” with its adjustable seatpost, stem, and handlebars. Its dual-telescoping seatpost offers a whopping 14” of adjustment in saddle height, while the telescoping stem offers 4.5” to change handlebar height. The trike includes high-rise, chopper-style handlebars which can be angled to adjust reach. One note about the stem: after adjusting the handlebar angle, be sure its two bolts are properly tightened to avoid slipping!

We found the motor to be moderately responsive with roughly a ½ turn of the cranks required to engage the pedal assist system. On a single-speed trike (a majority of the others we have tested) this may have been a concern, but the Easy Transit’s 7-speed drivetrain made it much easier to get moving before the motor engaged – though of course you must remember to downshift when coming to a stop.

The trike included a small suspension fork with 40mm of travel to absorb vibrations. I did not notice much of an effect as nearly all of my weight was on the saddle, but I understand that some riders may want the added reassurance of a smooth ride. We found it somewhat perplexing that the trike’s front cargo basket was mounted to the top of the non-adjustable fork; any added weight in the basket would cause compression and reduce the fork’s effectiveness.

The folding mechanisms were fairly standard, with a central hinge and collapsing stem. The latching tension lever securing the central hinge held strong, and we did not experience any significant frame flex from this joint. The stem uses a plastic locking ring that holds the release lever; I’d personally have liked something more solid for peace of mind, but this method seemed to work fine.

I was pleased to note that the Easy Transit included both a front and large, covered rear wire basket; while of simple construction, these are often accessories that must be added separately. Those planning to fold and transport the trike regularly may want to consider removing the front basket, as we found that it could get in the way during the folding process.
