My 4 seat electric tadpole leaning trike. For your viewing pleasure.

20ah allcell battery, 750w mid drive BBS02, cable steering, front suspension w/lockout, 3 hydraulic disc brakes, suspension seat, front and rear rack, 3x quick release kids seats, N360 rear hub, shortened crank (so it does not scrape when leaning), 3 position leaning angle control and so much I can't remember it all :)





 
Here is my Gen1 bike...the black one is Gen2 :) Leaning. I was able to convince my wife that the leaning bike is much safer...and it really is! The black bike is safer because you can lean into turns, as the blue bike would feel as it it may tip...regardless, it was a great way to spend time with the kids and travel some serious ground. The BBS02 really helps lug all 4 kids (hey, i count too lol)

 
Great conversion, looks like a very useful utility bike.
How is it to ride loaded/unloaded? Looks fun from the vids I've seen.
Did you have to import the bike? Do we happen to have a Canadian dealer?

Congrats. Enjoy.

Regarding the black bike, Its super easy to ride...but takes some getting used to with the extra weight of the kids. Without kids, its a bit easier. All said and done it handles great and makes you very confident in situations where you would wipe out on a regular 2 wheel bike. I imported the bike from Germany as frame only and built it up over the winter. They suggest a 28" rear and 20" front wheels. I went for 24" all around. Its epic off-road and I think it looks better proportioned that 28+20 combo IMO...kinda like a 3 wheel stunt bike :)

Great utility with rack front and rear. Seats are quick release and remove in about 20 seconds (or less). My favorite feature is the cup holder lol.

No Canadian dealer (its the first one in Canada), but if anyone is interested in purchasing one PM me and I'll put you in-contact with the German vendor who makes the bikes.
