Which one stops and corners better?
EVELO Compass: tektro MD-M300 disc brakes, 180 mm rotors; no parking brake is mentioned, and a rear differential. Pedego Fat Tire Trike: tektro hydraulic disc brakes, 203 mm front and 180 mm rear rotors, with a parking brake; no differential is mentioned. On a trike these three parts do most of the safety work: hydraulic brakes need less hand force, a parking brake holds the trike while you get on, and a differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in a corner.
How far and how fast do they go?
EVELO Compass: 500 W, 504 Wh of battery, up to 40 miles; 80 miles with the add-on battery (EVELO), 20 mph top speed. Pedego Fat Tire Trike: 750 W (1,276 W peak), 546 Wh of battery, up to 75 miles (Pedego; with the larger 17.5 Ah battery), 15 mph top speed.
