The Sixthreezero Rickshaws tire setup is another area where you may be left scratching your head. Up front, the tire is a 24×4” Kenda tire, and in the rear are two Kenda tires sized in a smaller 20×4” configuration. The reason for this is likely to increase stability with a lower center of gravity, especially for the cargo and passengers.
We were pleased to find a Shimano Tourney 7-speed drivetrain paired with a Shimano Index Shifter. E-trikes don’t always come with a usable range of gears but rather a single speed drivetrain. In the event you run out of battery life on your ride, at least you have some practical options for a pedaled ride back to the house.
The two-tone LCD display clearly shows your current speed, battery level, PAS setting, and odometer. We appreciated that it remained bright and readable even in direct sunlight.
The brown leather accents on the grips and seat added comfort and a touch of style. Sixthreezero’s choice of a push throttle over a grip throttle is a major plus – those tend to strain the wrists, especially with wide, cruiser-style handlebars like these.
In the rear, the seatbelts for passengers is a nice touch, especially for those with rambunctious passengers, however, when not in use, we found them to have a distracting rattle.
The frames integrated cargo box on the Rickshaw measures 20 inches wide with a depth of 14.5 inches and an internal height of 9 inches. This is a handy little feature to keep your gear secure on your rides. The only aspect we think it’s missing is the ability to lock the cargo box would have been great.
Finally, the front and rear brake levers have an additional button to engage the parking brake, which essentially just locks the brake levers in an engaged state, effectively letting you leave the bike untouched and it wont roll away.
