Been debating whether or not to post picks about my bike but I’ve finally caved

So first for those looking for a sob story or a story of a company to avoid like the plague this isn’t for you. Second I’ve had my bike ten months as of April’s first and I’ve done some work over her life so far (mostly small things)
And final my e-bike isn’t a e-bike it’s a e-trike mainly cause I can’t balance for shit with that I’ll start off with the bike
She’s a narrak etrike I got cause my mooncool shit for parts e trike had started to bend its rear axle again from normal use and abuse to the main reason I haven’t posted about her from just purchase was cause I wad afraid the same thing would show up in my bike(spoilers she’s still factory original)
As of now she’s survived a head on collision with a power box (wasn’t paying attention my bag lol) walking away with only loosen parts making her one tuff bike in my eyes and she’s also been used as a sign canvas at the local no kings protest in my area (post about that on my account for those interested in seeing how much of my bike was visible xD
As for things I’ve done I’ve wired up a new set of blinkers as the company never provided any for the bike and for me to use it in my home state for trips where I don’t have sidewalks or bike lanes those are essential next to that she got hand me down 2 insulated cart bags of which I use to carry temperature controlled items home (mostly take out lol) besides that she’s also got a foam tape wrap at her cage in the rear to act as protection for the wagon as still to this day no e trike tow hooks exist and I don’t have the tools to weld one onto my bike from a motor vehicle or bike tow kit xD
To end if your looking for a beefy bike that will take a beating i suggest checking out narrak as so far my bike hasn’t let me down once

Just needs a bimini top to shade from the sun.
bandana_runner@reddit
With some solar panels on top?

When I see stuff like days or like those big trikes on Amazon that almost look like pick up truck E bikes if you will I have so much respect for these people that get up every day and go and hustle that way, and make their money on their bike I was thinking of trying it like DoorDash or something. I’m in a very rural area stuff is kind of far apart, but I see a lot of other folks do it just cool that they make money with their bikes …..no car insurance no gas.
Deeznutseus2012@reddit
I haul for my household, rather than DoorDash, but I can tell you that with a few wood scraps and elbow grease, it can be pretty easy to kit out your bike for something like that.
We like to buy our food in bulk at the restaurant supply store and especially with gas prices the way they are here ($5.69/gal) my wife and I got some really astonished and interested looks when I came out with a cart, put a 50 lb bag of flour in the box on the back of my cargo e-bike, 20 lbs of meat in the box on my wife's commuter e-bike and just rode away.

Gives me 90s beach thrasher vibes.
Any_Strawberry8691@reddit
ngl that bike sounds savage af like who needs sidewalks anyway when u got skills
Ok_Significance_3608@reddit
ngl a bimini would be sick cause sunburns are no joke when you ride that long
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
lol she’s a working bike and I doubt any will fit her anywho as I looked when I first got her no brand sold any for her as the company only produced the model I have for etrikes (they might have made more but to lazy to check
staleluckycharms@reddit
That’s a lot of Pepsi
Striking-Concern7935@reddit
nice, what the range with a case of beer and/or Kegger
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
She will handle but she won’t probably be happy on a hill climb not to mention charge is needed after lol
GaberAber@reddit
This is an overpowered amigo…
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
lol

Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Haven’t seen yours around granted I live in a rural urban area so cars be king around here not that my e trike isn’t a local mini star around here xs
AcanthisittaHot8020@reddit
How's the battery hold up for you with a Full load? Trailer included
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
She holds up well
AcanthisittaHot8020@reddit
You're missing a Massive wind screen. (; no seriously, I'd ride that baby coast to coast.very nice setup 👌
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I mean I solved that with a balaclava and riding goggles xD but rn if I was to work on anything it be the motor it’s good for park cruising but lacking if I want to be on the road (she’s road legal )
myrosepetal@reddit
Makes me want to buy one. 😭
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I mean I got her for 129 a month not a bad deal for a reliable bike that just needs some parts to be road legal
Far_Relationship3649@reddit
I love it!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx!
Exciting-Peak70@reddit
Nice trike! How was it's stability when you first got it? I've heard for some there is a small learning curve with the trikes vs the bikes?
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Non granted I had one before it and that one was a shit bike bit the e trike I own now is basically perfect for my daily commuter stable and worth it’s 1,600 price
Distinct_Mention2422@reddit
Nice looking trike! Sorry if you said it and I missed it but what model did you get ? I’m on Narraks website looking around and they’ve got multiple options, which is awesome.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Depends is their only 1 trike you can choose still cause if so then it’s the off-road one (cause country out here xD
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
As when I was buying the replacement for my old on they only sold the current one I own but I did give them suggestions that they might have taken to heart
Distinct_Mention2422@reddit
Thank you! I’m in Minnesota so I have the same needs in a trike as you, 70 degrees yesterday and tomorrow we are in a winter weather advisory 😩 Anyway, the thought of 3 wheels on snow/ice makes me feel a little safer so I appreciate you posting this
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Np and as someone who drove during the snow I can say she’ll do you good tho her bat doesn’t like it xd
kurisu7885@reddit
hey, I had a look at these online before I got a trike form a local shop.
Hope you're enjoying it.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I got mine off the web second try scored after the first turned into a fragile piece of shit xd
people_skills@reddit
Where's the bridge pick? It's almost like a right of passage at this point
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Huh?
people_skills@reddit
You gotta take a picture of your electric bike on a bridge/overpass, could be one over water/highway but any bridge works.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
lol is this a meme I’m not pervy to?
sleepisfortortoises@reddit
I believe you meant privy, pervy might be a bridge too far.
But yes, it's a bit of a meme
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx and yea sorry first grade never taught me well xD
sleepisfortortoises@reddit
Love it! XD Also these pics are seriously making me consider a trike as a second bike, that rear basket just looks so perfect for groceries and shopping trips.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
She is not to mention the rear drive makes her more stable tho it could be the motor to xd
Gummybearjellybean@reddit
Nice ride!!!!! etrikers Unite 🤜🤛. I’ve had an addmotor etrike for about a year and love it! I’m thinking of upgrading my trike next year for something that feels a tad more stable, similar to my vintage Schwinn trike. How’s the stability on yours?
I recently got a Velotric Nomad 2 and although it’s nice, I have learned that I prefer three wheels, relaxed cruise, large baskets, and boppin to my loud speaker. lol
oboylebr@reddit
I too love my speaker … although I should’ve went bigger lol
Gummybearjellybean@reddit
I got a construction site Dewalt speaker from Home Depot, it fits perfectly in the front basket and the sound is nice.
kurisu7885@reddit
Oddly same here, I got an Arisetan II from a somewhat local bike shop.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I wanna say 1/3 gone the bike doesn’t seem to mind unless it’s loaded then it goes by half very stable but her motor leaves something to be expected from my experience and yes! If it’s in my area again ima strike again
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Also I like it cause I’m not at risk of falling every turn xD
SnooTangerines1896@reddit
Whos gonna tell them?
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Ifs it that my e trike is a trike then no one tho who’s going to tell you your brain is shrinking from brainrot
Significant-Pen-6049@reddit
Good work
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx!
KDubueMath37@reddit
Sweet ride!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx you!
Immediate-Guidance31@reddit
That’s not a bike it’s a trike
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
And your a idiot I already brought that up
MeximeltExtraCheese@reddit
Hell yes that is awesome!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Damn 62 upvotes good reception can’t say I’m not impressed I thought I would get some compliments and comments but the replies I’ve been receiving is nice thx for showing the mini etrike star of mount pleasant your kind words and questions! Tho there’s one thing ima put here if your asking about specs of in-depth information of the bike please don’t ask as I don’t have that if you want suggestions or even my opinion on her do ask tho as she’s nearly a year old at this point and she’s a open book with me
bentstrider83@reddit
Picked up my Narrak step thru ebike for $400 from a guy in Lubbock TX. This thing's pretty stout!!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
IK! I got mine from Amazon tho (via a payment plan) she’s not been a disappointment yet (other then the motor being abit lacking but that can be fixed
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx ^^ as always the name is on the side
Superb_Raccoon@reddit
ItS a TrIkE!!@!1!!1
Just kidding man, it looks like it is very useful.
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
She is being my daily driver lol she’s no park bike xD
Ok-Type-8917@reddit
That looks great. Where did you get the handle setup for the wagon?
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Oh it’s custom made I’ll gladly give the way I did it if interested to it doesn’t always work and relys heavily on the handle type given
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
(Doesn’t always work when it comes to mounting on bikes I just got really lucky it had very little impact to the bike
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I wanna say 1/3 gone the bike doesn’t seem to mind unless it’s loaded then it goes down abit a small bit
-43andharsh@reddit
Specs on battery & motor + range plz
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I can only provide range would that work?
-43andharsh@reddit
That be great, yes please
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Now ima be frank this is guesstimation so don’t expect exact figures. If you look up the regency mall in Wisconsin and then the Kenosha branch of educators that route I took to get there (through small areas and down a long stretch of highway) took all but 3 final bars of her battery I wanna say that was 40 or more miles but I have no idea totally i provided a picture with the address of the bank I went to for my card replacement I live at the neighborhood past the Wells Fargo bank will not say which house as to not self dox but that should give you a pretty good idea of how much she can take as it was both ways
-43andharsh@reddit
Thats good for 3 wheels.
Have you considered taking a spare battery with you on longer tours?
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Yes I was told back in 2025 it would be 150 before tariffs got bad
-43andharsh@reddit
Thats affordable!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Yes to bad Wisconsin can’t fucking support people not in bike trucks
-43andharsh@reddit
Whats the range reduction with and without the little trailer?
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Tho it’s not even worth it sense most roads here have no lanes for bikes or side walk and people drive like dipship here
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
(Not to into specs for my bone
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
And your a idiot I already brought that up
MesugakiBratTamer@reddit
Nice trike
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Thx!
awesomes007@reddit
Omg! Cool. I’m recovering from long covid and I want to get an e-trike this year. I want to throw the dog in the trailer and commute to the city center and parks. Thanks!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
I suggest the brand lol
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
Btw I hope you get better soon ^^
BadgersAndJam77@reddit
Love seeing another trike! Especially with a trailer! I've got a Puckipuppy Rotweiller but was shy about sharing pics too! I just added a 50l Gregory Camp Box that fit too perfectly in the rear basket. I've barely got 30 miles on it, and haven't strapped on all the accessories , but I LOVE it. This is the only recent pic I have!
Sparkyfurry@reddit (OP)
lol the pic of the wagon was pre upgrade as I was showing off to a friend lol also yea I haven’t seen many here ether mostly bikes or e bikes or the occasional pedal trike I got multiple miles on her as she’s my ride around rural Wisconsin but she takes it like a champ and she’s fully reliable but her chain is rusty rn xD might need to replace it tho I don’t pedal due to the extreme resistant the bikes rear gives so she’s in electric mode all the time but the cops done know>:3
