HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
Today’s consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of motor vehicles on our planet. Electric tricycles are one of the solutions available today to help reduce our impact on the environment.
Our pedal assist electric tricycles have lithium-ion batteries that typically last 2-4 hours and can cover a range of 50-70 km on a single charge. Because an electric tricycle does not burn fossil fuel they do not release any exhaust gases into the atmosphere like regular gas vehicles do. An average car releases approximately two tons of carbon dioxide each year. As battery and motor technology improves and we see things like solar chargers and regenerative charging motors the environmental footprint of an electric tricycle will be reduced even further potentially being 100% ecofriendly.
AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE TO A SECOND CAR
Electric bikes and electric tricycles are not classified as motor vehicles so in most cases do not require insurance or a license to operate. In most countries, electric bicycles are treated like normal bicycles and the same rules and regulations for use apply.
With the cost of oil on the rise, driving a conventional car can eat up a significant amount of money over a year An electric tricycle for adults when paired with the right motor/battery combination offers great mileage per charge.
The cost of charging your electric tricycle battery will vary depending on a variety of factors including battery size, quality and type of charger and the frequency of re-charging. As an example cost for a 2-4 hour charge in Australia will set you back approximately $0.12 and give you an effective pedal assist range of 60-70km per charge, making your electric tricycle an affordable alternative method of transport to a second car.
You will need some safety equipment you typically do not need when driving a second car, such as a bike helmet, bike lock, spare tire tube, tire pump and possibly some bike tools. While these will not incur a huge cost they need to be considered.
Lastly, consider purchasing insurance coverage for your electric tricycle. Being insured for theft or damage means you won’t be out of pocket if something happens to your sweet three wheeled ride
MAKING THE WORK COMMUTE PRACTICAL
Even if you have a long and tough commute, an electric tricycle can get you there without breaking a sweat! If you are cycling to work then sweat becomes an important issue.

People do not sweat as much on pedal assist electric tricycles – they don’t have to pedal as hard and because of a higher average riding speed there is more air flow and wind to help cool you as you ride. Hilly commute or are headwinds common? No problem, your electric motor will kick in at the first sign of pedal resistance and keep you from breaking a sweat unless you want to dial back the power and pedal more. Electric trikes flatten out the hills so you don’t have to worry about them/
Combined with the ample cargo space in the front and rear cargo racks of your electric trike you can easily carry that change of work clothes, laptop, lunch or whatever it is you need to take with you on your commute and not have to be weighed down with a bulky backpack or saddle bags.
Save money on parking! You can park your electric trike most often free of charge in a public bicycle rack. Easier parking means one more way your electric tricycle commute will get you to your destination faster than a car. You will be parked and already at work while the person driving their car is still circling around looking for a parking space.
