Viribus TriGo
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

- An expert and multiple owners say the TriGo doesn’t track straight because the rear axle isn’t perpendicular to the frame.
- A 5’11” reviewer says their knees almost touch the handlebars while pedaling.
- Experts and owners find assembly very complicated and time-consuming.
- Testers and buyers receive bikes with missing or incorrect parts.
- Viribus claims the rear basket supports 110lb, but experts doubt this capacity, calling the basket rickety.
- The reflector on the seatpost blocks battery removal.
- The ill-fitting fenders and chain guard rattle and rub, according to owners and experts.
- The base build’s V-brake and band brake combination deliver poor stopping power in testing.

Bottom line
The Viribus TriGo is a budget e-trike available in three builds, each with the choice of 24” or 26” wheels. The base build has single-speed gearing and a 250W motor; the Plus and Pro builds have 350W motors, 7-speed gearing, and mechanical disc brakes. The step-through frame, smooth power delivery, and low price win points with reviewers. However, frequent complaints indicate a lack of quality control. Testers report motor cut-offs, instability, ill-fitting or missing parts, arduous assembly, and slipping chains. The flimsy rear basket, measly height range, and weak motors also disappoint. The TriGo seems like a bargain, but buyers should consider a more reliable alternative.
