84,000 Miles and Counting: Leo’s Journey on His Electric Trike
Some people buy electric trikes for weekend rides. Others use them to commute. But Leo? He’s done something no one else we know has even come close to: 84,000 miles on a single trike build. And he’s still riding every day.
This isn’t just a cool milestone—it’s proof of what the right system can do when paired with real dedication and a bulletproof drivetrain.
And it’s a perfect example of what you’ll find at ElectricTrike.com: trikes powered by E-BikeKit systems built for durability, simplicity, and performance.
Meet Leo: 100 Miles a Day, Rain or Shine
Leo rides his custom Sun Baja Trike every day. His setup is powered by an E-BikeKit direct-drive motor system, which includes:
- A 750W front direct-drive motor
- A robust E-BikeKit battery
- LCD display and pedal-assist sensor
- Installed on the rugged frame of a Sun Baja fat trike
Leo built this trike over four years ago. Since then, he’s clocked nearly 100 miles per day—unless it’s raining. He’s put in more mileage than we’ve seen on any trike or e-bike, period.
He’s made some modifications over the years, of course—but the core system? It’s the same dependable E-BikeKit platform you’ll find powering many of the trikes available at ElectricTrike.com.
Why It Matters: Reliability, Power, and Simplicity
The E-BikeKit motor system isn’t flashy. It doesn’t rely on mid-drive complexity or geared motors with fragile internals. Instead, it’s built on one thing: durability.
Direct-drive motors like Leo’s have:
- No internal gears to strip
- Minimal maintenance required
- Consistent torque for hill climbing and hauling
- The ability to handle high mileage with no drama
We’ve always believed in keeping it simple, strong, and serviceable. Leo’s story backs that up better than anything else could.
Built to Last—Not Just Built to Sell
Leo’s trike has outlasted most cars. That’s not an exaggeration.
And it’s not just about the motor—it’s about the combination of quality parts, a proven kit, and a rider who knows what he wants.
"I ride about 100 miles daily, unless it’s raining," Leo told us. “Same motor. Never gave me a problem.”
That kind of real-world result is why thousands of people trust E-BikeKit systems—and why we use them as the foundation of so many models here at ElectricTrike.com.
Thinking of Converting Your Trike?
Leo’s setup started with a classic fat-tire trike and a front-wheel E-BikeKit system. Whether you have a traditional three-wheeler, a recumbent, or something custom—we’ve got a kit that fits.
