Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Sobowo 2650 designed for?
It is designed for taller adult riders wanting full-size 26-inch wheels, efficient cruising and a six-speed drivetrain.
What rider height is recommended?
It is generally best suited to riders approximately 170 cm (5′7″) and taller. Rider height alone does not guarantee fit, so inside-leg reach, pedal reach and steering reach should also be checked.
How much rider weight can it carry?
The maximum recommended rider weight is 150 kg. The front basket is rated to carry up to 10 kg and the rear basket up to 50 kg.
What motor and battery does it use?
It uses a 48V 350W Bafang front hub motor producing approximately 60 Nm of maximum torque and a removable 48V 11.6Ah lithium-ion battery providing approximately 560Wh of stored energy.
Does it have a throttle?
Yes. It includes a thumb throttle, five pedal-assistance levels and a low-speed walk-assistance function.
Can it be ridden without electric assistance?
Yes. The tricycle can be pedalled with the electrical assistance switched off.
Does a tricycle ride like a normal bicycle?
No. Steering and cornering feel different from a two-wheel bicycle. New riders should become familiar with the tricycle progressively in a quiet, open area.
Is the stated electric range guaranteed?
No. Range changes with rider and cargo weight, terrain, wind, temperature, tyre pressure, speed and assistance level.
Can the battery be removed for charging?
Yes. The battery is removable and key-lockable, allowing it to be charged either on or away from the tricycle.
Can Trike Bike Australia provide support after purchase?
Yes. Workshop, spare-parts, telephone and technical support are available through Trike Bike Australia.
