Choosing the right e-trike system can be a game-changer for the overall riding experience. At Kwolity E Trikes, we’ve opted for the 36V system over the 48V system for our trikes, specifically designed with seniors in mind. Here’s why this decision brings the best riding experience to our senior riders.
1. Energy Efficiency for Longer Rides
Seniors often prioritise longer, more leisurely rides over shorter tougher adventures. The 36V system is more energy-efficient in that is does not have the torque of a 48v system thus allowing riders to enjoy a pleasant riding experience. Given Australian regulations state 25kph as the maximum speed, then 48V is simply a waste of energy.
2. Cost-Effective Solution
The unit cost of an E trike is an important consideration for many seniors. The 36V system provides a cost-effective option without compromising on quality and reliability. From initial purchase to battery replacements, the 36V systems are generally more affordable, making it a practical choice for those looking to balance performance and expense.
3. Lightweight and Manoeuvrable
Maintaining control and stability is crucial, especially for seniors. The 36V battery and components are lighter compared to their 48V counterparts, resulting in a somewhat more agile and manageable trike. This ensures that our riders can confidently navigate through city or country streets, parks, and even tight spaces with ease.
4. Gentle Acceleration
For many seniors, a smooth and gentle acceleration is key to a comfortable ride. The 36V system delivers just that, avoiding the sudden bursts of power that can come with higher voltage systems. This gentle electric response through either the hand throttle, or the pedals, enhances comfort and safety, allowing riders to enjoy a more relaxed experience.
5. Adequate Power for Everyday Use
While the 48V system might offer more power, the 36V system provides ample power for typical senior use. Whether it’s commuting to the local shop, enjoying a leisurely ride around the neighbourhood, or visiting friends, the 36V system offers sufficient performance without the complexity of higher voltage systems.
In Conclusion
At Kwolity E Trikes, we believe we understand the unique needs and preferences of our senior riders. The decision to utilize the 36V system reflects our commitment to providing a balanced, cost-effective, and enjoyable riding experience. With energy efficiency, ease of use, and gentle power delivery, our trikes empower seniors to rediscover the joy of cycling, one ride at a time.
Happy riding!
Whilst a 48V system would be an advantage for bigger weight carrying capacity and capable of delivering more power for tougher hills, it comes with faster acceleration, causing concern with some senior riders. By focusing on what truly matters, Kwolity E Trikes continues to deliver e-trikes that aren’t just a mode of transportation, but a gateway to independence, adventure, and a healthier lifestyle.
Cheers
