    I think the increased stability appeals to some folks especially if they have balance/mobility issues. I imagine they could carry more overall weight because it’s distributed over 3 wheels rather than two.

    Personally, I’d rather have a really nice cargo bike, but I kinda get the appeal of trikes.

    Not sure about the wagon aspect: You should be able to connect a wagon to either a bike or a trike though, you’d just use different mounting systems or maybe different wagons. Eventually I want to get a wagon for my bike but I just spent a good chunk of change on fixing up my tires to be puncture resistant so that’ll have to wait.

      Nice, what did you do to make your tires puncture resistant?

      And that makes sense about the stability

        Flatout in the tubes with Tannus armor liners over them on my ebike. I might eventually get some nicer tires and convert to tubeless though the runflat capability of the Tannus armor might be worth the extra weight.

        My setup is probably overkill and certainly not the lightest: Honestly, you’d probably be fine with just Flatout.

          Nice, yeah I’ll probably stick to just flatout, but good to know about the tannus armor in case I ever do get a flat that flatout can’t handle. My PEV’s tire (inmotion v11) is really hard to change so I don’t want to ever have to deal with it, but if I ever do I will develop add tannus
