⚖️ Balance support
Three wheels stay upright on their own — no foot down at stoplights, no wobble at slow speeds. If balancing a two-wheel bike has become the hardest part of riding, this matters most.
🔋 Range
45 to 100-plus miles depending on model, terrain, battery count, and load. Each extra battery roughly doubles your distance.
📦 What you'll carry
Rear baskets and cargo beds differ by model — size the trike to your errands, not just your rides.
💵 Budget
Quality trikes should be accessible at many budget levels — ours start at $1,399.
⚙️ Motor & battery
A 500W/750W brushless motor with a 48V lithium battery gives quiet assist and torque for hills. Bigger battery = more miles between charges.
🛑 Brakes
Hydraulic disc brakes self-adjust and stop with less hand pressure — noticeable on every stop with a loaded basket.
🎁 Included extras
Many models include rear baskets or cargo beds, lights, upright seating, and low step-through frames.
⚖️ Extra stability
Dexter and Dexter Jr. — low step-through, easy mount and dismount.
📦 Cargo & groceries
Caddy Pro and Bison Pro — built to stay stable fully loaded.
🔋 Long range
Dexter, Dexter Jr., and Bull reach up to 100 miles with a second battery; on a budget, Caddy Pro goes far on one.
🌿 Trails
Bull Trail — three-wheel stability off the pavement.
👨👩👧 Family rides
Urban Cruiser series — rear bench seat with safety belt.
Do you need a license to ride an electric trike?
In most U.S. states, no. Class 2 trikes (assist up to 20 MPH) generally need no license, registration, or insurance. Check local rules.
How fast do electric trikes go?
Motor assist up to 20 MPH — the standard Class 2 limit. You can pedal faster under your own power.
How far can one go on a charge?
Roughly 45 to 100-plus miles depending on model and battery count, plus terrain, weight, temperature, and how much you pedal.
Is a trike easier to ride than a two-wheel ebike?
No balancing at all — it stays upright even at a full stop. Cornering feels different at first; most riders adapt in minutes.
Can it carry groceries, cargo, or a pet?
Yes — that's a top reason riders go three-wheel. Check each model's weight rating.
