Freego FlekTrike Pro: Everything You Need to Know

The Freego FlekTrike Pro is a lockable-tilt electric trike, not a Class 2 bicycle and not a rigid grocery trike. Flektrike.com lists a 750-watt nominal motor that peaks at 1,400 watts, a full-twist throttle, torque-sensing pedal assist, and two 48-volt 30-amp-hour batteries it adds up as 60 amp-hours. The sheet says 25 mph and 85 miles. The card this desk read was $3,199, marked down from $3,699, and sold out. Lock the tilt and it sits like a normal trike. Unlock it and the front leans. Those are two different rides, and only one of them is for someone who cannot balance.

The sheet

Forty-eight times sixty is 2,880 watt-hours. That is six times the RadTrike pack. A 54.6-volt, 3-amp charger is about 164 watts. One 1,440 watt-hour pack at that rate is roughly nine hours. Two chargers, one on each pack, land inside the page’s 5-to-10-hour window. One charger for both packs does not. The page says two chargers are in the box so both packs can charge at once. Use both.

Twenty-five with a throttle is not Class 2

Class 2 is a bicycle: pedals, a motor of 750 watts or less, and motor help that stops at 20, throttle included. Class 3 is pedal assist to 28, and a throttle on that bike, where a state allows one, still dies at 20. The FlekTrike Pro’s own line is a full-twist throttle and a 25 mph top speed. That misses Class 2 by five miles and it is not the Class 3 shape. The product page this desk read never calls it Class 1, 2, or 3. Treat it as outside the three-class system until a state statute says otherwise. A bike lane that says Class 1 and 2, a 15 mph riverwalk, and a 20 mph shared path are not a suggestion you outvote with a twist grip.

A customer review title on the same product page says the rider took one to 40 mph. The specification says 25. In an August 2026 ride video, SpiderWayne’s display reached 24 before he braked for a stop, and he said he still wanted a GPS check. Forty is not the sheet. Twenty-five is. Neither number is a speed your city has to allow.

Lock it, or lean it

A normal trike does not lean. The rear track stays flat, and a fast corner unloads the inside wheel. FlekTrike’s pitch is that the front section can lean with you when the tilt is unlocked, and that you can lock it when you want the shopping-cart version. The page says the lock is for beginners and low-speed riding, and the unlock is for cornering. Two owner comments on that page describe the same split: locked on the straight bits, unlocked when balance is there, locked again on a day when it is not.

Locked, it is a trike for someone who will not balance. Unlocked, it is a machine that asks you to lean. Buy the one you will actually use.

The rear is a motor with an integrated differential, which is the right hardware for two driven wheels in a turn. The legs get an 8-speed derailleur. The page does not say the motor runs through that cassette. Do not assume a hill is a gear choice for the motor. The assist is torque-sensing, so it follows how hard you push, not merely that the cranks are spinning. That is the difference on the torque versus cadence page. The throttle ignores both.

Eighty-five miles is a brochure

Eighty-five miles on 2,880 watt-hours is about 34 watt-hours a mile. That is a moderate claim if you are not sitting on 25 mph and if both packs are full. It is a fantasy if the loop is throttle at the cap with a 300-pound load. The page does not say which. SpiderWayne, in that August video, stated the range as 75 miles and the weight as about 154 pounds. The maker’s range line is 85, and the maker’s page does not list a weight at all. This desk will not average 75 and 85 into a test. There is no named rider, no GPS speed, and no watt-hours left at the end.

IP63, in the page’s own words, is light rain and splashes. It is not heavy rain, a deep puddle, or a pressure washer. Hydraulic brakes and a dual-crown fork do not change that. The parking control is a squeeze of the lever and a button, then a second squeeze to release. A 154-pound trike, if that reviewer’s number holds, does not get carried up stairs. It gets a ramp, or it stays downstairs.

The other trikes, and the warranty line

The RadTrike is the opposite purchase: Class 2, 14 mph, a 480 watt-hour pack, a cadence front hub, a claimed 82 pounds, $1,699 on a card that was also out of stock. The XP Trike 2 is the $1,499 Class 2 with a differential and a rear hub, 14 or 17 mph depending on the motor. The FlekTrike Pro costs about twice either of them and spends the money on lean, two big packs, hydraulics, and a speed the class sticker will not cover. If the job is “I cannot put a foot down, and the path says 15,” buy the 14 mph trike and leave this one locked in the category it actually occupies.

Warranty language on the site does not agree with itself. One block says a 2-year limited warranty on core structural components. Another says a 2-year limited warranty on the frame, and points you at a warranty page for the rest. The homepage also says 24 months. Read the page they point at before you pay. The return window on the product page is 14 days, and the bike has to be unused and in the box. A dealer listing this desk saw was $2,899. The maker’s card was $3,199 and sold out. The cart is the price. Out of stock is not a ship date.

Who it is for

Buy it if you want a trike that can lean, you understand the lock is the only mode that does not ask you to balance, and your roads actually allow a 25 mph throttle trike. The 330-pound payload is the whole machine’s limit, rider included, until Freego prints a split. Eight gears and a torque sensor are for a person who will pedal. The throttle is for a person who will not, and that person is also the person most likely to be illegal at 25.

Do not buy it as a Class 2. Do not buy it because a review title says 40. Do not read 85 miles as a 25 mph commute. Do not wash it. And do not send the money until the card says it is in stock and the warranty page you were sent matches the sentence you were sold.
