At the time I bought my e-bike (step-thru Breeze) it was almost 30 years the last time I rode a bike, at 65 years old the knees don’t work as good as a 30 yo so having the pedal assist got me out of the house an into the fresh air of Maine. My wife saw how much fun I was having so we got her a Viribus tricycle e-bike.

Very nice tricycle with a few minor issues
Overall I like the design and construction of the trike but there are some things that could use development. I've been riding more than 75 years and have always done 95% of the maintenance on my bikes but I found the assembly of the adult tricycle a challenge. The first problem was the included instructions: they lacked detail and important information causing me to have to go online to find necessary information; and there were critical components such as the rear disc brake that were not installed properly making it necessary to completely reassemble the rear drive train components. The assembly instructions also had virtually no information about aligning and adjusting the disc brakes. When assembled the trike looked good and rode well. I'm 5'-9" and 200 lbs, all withing the specs of the trike, and felt the wheel base a bit short especially when making turns. The only component I didn't care for on the trike are the rather flimsy rear fenders: they vibrate a lot and are impossible to keep aligned. I no longer ride in bad weather so I'll probably remove them.Considering the price I think the Viribus is very good adult tricycle and I would recommend it.

The trike is great with disc brakes and…
The trike is great with disc brakes and 7 speeds it is almost perfect! The only thing I would recommend is a little lower gearing, just make the front sprocket smaller maybe 6-8 teeth less.

I’m not impressed with this bike
I’m not impressed with this bike. The cords are zip tied to the frame and looks cheap. The packaging was sun bleached and the foam inside was brittle. I’m sure it was the oldest model that had just been sitting outside. I’d like to be contacted for a refund.

Never ever buy this bike unless you own…
Never ever buy this bike unless you own a bike shop and love to put bikes together.
Avoid this bike unless it is already assembled at a bike shop
Total disaster with brakes and more.

Shotty welding with holes
I received my trike and the chassis frame welds are sloppy with holes leaving it susceptible to rust. I asked for a new chassis or a refund. They offered me $100 without repairs. I called as soon as I saw the parts in the box and it was damaged from the faulty welds. This isn’t acceptable and need advice on where to go from here.

Vague building instructions, NO customer support avail.
My husband has worked on bikes all his life, even maintained 2 professional bike riders bike that travel the world!
This trike took 5 days, 5 hrs a day to assemble. Vague instructions, several parts were not made to fit.
Many parts had chunks of missing paint, some scratched, most were failed to paint areas.
There are no instructions on how to operate the thing, anyplace!
The charged battery will not come on. ( recharger doesn’t appear to plug into battery correctly)
Last, the saddle feels like it should be back further about 5”.
Trike is too tall for me at 5’6”.
I’ve had 4 back surgeries in 2023 & I am worried this will cause more damage.
