Are four wheels really more stable than three wheels on an e-bike? That’s one of the most common questions we get here at Sixthreezero. In this video, Dustin (with 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry) breaks down the real answer. He compares our innovative AnyTerrain Four-Wheel Electric Bike models with our popular Simple Glide Fat Tire Recumbent E-Trike, showing you how design, geometry, and steering mechanics actually matter more than just wheel count when it comes to stability.

Many riders come into our San Clemente showroom because they’re worried about balance. They may not have ridden in years, they may be transitioning from a traditional two-wheel bike, or they may have tried a conventional upright trike in the past and felt unstable. Stability and security are top priorities, and the question always comes up: Should I get a trike or a four-wheeler?

The short answer? Four wheels aren’t automatically more stable than three. What truly determines stability is the overall design of the e-bike or e-trike — including the frame geometry, the wheelbase, tire size, steering mechanism, and rider position.

👉 Why Traditional Upright Trikes Feel Different
Conventional tricycles with short wheelbases and upright seating often feel “tippy” to new riders. They steer differently from two-wheel bikes, and it can take practice to get used to shifting your weight and controlling turns. That’s why some people try a trike, don’t like it, and assume four wheels must be the only solution.

👉 Why the Simple Glide Recumbent Trike Stands Out
The Sixthreezero Simple Glide 750W Fat Tire Recumbent E-Trike is built to eliminate that instability. With an elongated frame, a low step-through, fat tires, and a smaller 16” front wheel paired with 20” rears, it delivers intuitive steering and a planted, stable ride. Unlike many trikes on the market, the Simple Glide feels natural, balanced, and easy to control — making it just as stable as many four-wheel options.

👉 What Makes the AnyTerrain Four-Wheelers Special
Our AnyTerrain Four-Wheel Electric Bikes take stability a step further by combining a long recumbent frame with a unique tilting front steering system. When one wheel goes up, the other goes down, keeping all tires grounded. The front wheels also tilt into turns, mimicking the natural lean of a two-wheel bike and making cornering feel smooth, safe, and intuitive. This setup is why the AnyTerrain is considered the most stable model in our entire lineup.

👉 So Which Is More Stable — 3 or 4 Wheels?
It depends. If you’re comparing a traditional upright trike to a modern recumbent quad with tilt steering, the four-wheeler wins for most riders. But if you’re comparing a thoughtfully designed recumbent trike like the Simple Glide with a poorly engineered four-wheeler, the trike can actually feel just as stable — or even more so. At the end of the day, it’s all about the setup, not just the number of wheels.
