regarding my new 2020 tristar plus trike bought on june 13, 2021 at bert’s bikes in orchard park n.y. why does power only go to the right wheel leaving the left wheel free wheeling? when i am in full throttle mode and accelerate, the trike quickly pulls dangerously to the left. i have had to jam on the brakes numerous times to stop crashing into something on the left. is this normal? it seems dangerous for us older people.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Following a cycle ride in very cold windy weather, my light batteries ran down due to the cold weather.
I designed a new form of charging system for bike lights. USP. Never have to buy another battery again.Brighter lights. Charge your mobile phone from the bike charger. Use the system to take the pressure of electric bike lights.
Are you interested?
Kind regards,
Phil Wrenn
