About Us

Hello and thanks for visiting. About us is more just about me. My name is Mark Waddell. My interest in E-trikes and the development of the products found in my store is the result of a desire to have a fat tire e-trike with dual batteries for my ice fishing here in the Chicago area. At the time in 2020, I could not find one to buy so I started working on converting a fat tire pedal trike to meet my needs. The result is the custom e-trike pictured. I fabricated a sheet metal box to mount in the frame triangle below the seat. Housed in it is the motor controller and a custom battery pack that I made myself to fit the odd shape of the available space. For the second battery, I did not want to put it in the basket as is common which takes up storage space so I started looking for a battery type and a place to mount it. My search resulted in zeroing in on a rear rack battery but there was nothing on the market to mount it in the logical place which is above the axle. I have design and metalworking experience and decided to make it myself. The result is the modular system found here at E-trikekits.com. I am a bike builder and mechanic and find satisfaction in putting together and adjusting these electric vehicles. I now convert trikes for my local market using my modular system.
