The best electric three-wheel models combine stability, car speed, and the lightness of the engine allows for increased mobility compared to an ATV.

Thanks to these advantages, the popularity of tricycle models is increasing every year, and the expanded functionality, a large number of brands, attractive appearance and design are increasingly forcing buyers to make their choice in their favor.

Description, general characteristics

Tricycles are heavier than their two-wheeled siblings, which can make it difficult to pedal using only leg strength, so an electric or diesel engine is used for a more comfortable ride.

Electric trikes are being modified by adding an engine to the transmission. This allows the motor to turn on each time the pedal is pressed, giving an additional impulse to the travel. You can ride without doing any work at all, letting the mechanism do everything for you, like on a scooter.

Such motor vehicles are becoming more and more popular, because they allow you to quickly get to the right place, even if you are loaded with food, equipment, and there are small hills or traffic jams on the way. Attaching the motor to the drivetrain, rather than the wheels as on conventional bicycles, makes the ride smoother, allowing you to enjoy the speed.

Types of tricycles

Over the centuries-old history of the existence of trikes, the number of types of vehicles has greatly increased, what kind of equipment does not exist: with cabins (for example, the popular Bumblebee model) and without them, expensive, budgetary, with various functions made of various materials, painted in all kinds colors, even with a stove if you suddenly get cold. Basically, they are widespread in southeast Asia, products of Indian production, the so-called cycle rickshaws, are widely known:

• Delta has two driving wheels behind or next to the rider;
• "Tadpole" - a bicycle with two front wheels located at the handlebars;
• "Lying" tricycle-hybrid of a delta with a "tadpole", the seats are very low, practically in a supine position;
• convertible tricycles transform from delta to tadpole and vice versa.
• Children's vehicles have a simple, triangular design specially designed to provide increased safety, both indoors and outdoors;
• the driving force of the so-called "hand" trikes can serve as a person's legs and palms;
• motorized tricycles are driven by a diesel or electric motor.

Each type of equipment is good in certain conditions of use, in order to choose the one you need, you need to familiarize yourself with our rating.

What criteria to rely on when choosing

You may be familiar with brands, model range, which are important to consider when purchasing a vehicle, but a few additional recommendations for finding the best product are worth listening to:

• The battery is the main component in the system, it is important to pay attention to it when buying a tricycle. It sits directly behind the seat, making it quite large and capacious, although runtime can be a limiting factor. The best novelties offer a range of travel on a single charge of up to 90 km, inexpensive ones are limited to less than 35 kilometers.
• Riding with the help of the pedals can save energy in the battery, then your travel time will increase.
• The dimensions of the engines can vary greatly depending on the type of trike and, in combination with its weight, is the main factor in determining the maximum riding speed. Most electric motors are brushless, 600 or 750 W, quiet, efficient, and offer a top speed of 20-40 km / h. Freight tricycles are supplied with more powerful motors (up to 1200 W), capable of accelerating up to 40-60 km / h.
• Tricycles do not have preset speed levels, but use conventional or thumb-operated pivot throttle or built into the handlebars. Some buyers find it easier to drive vehicles, especially when driving on bumpy roads.
• Some companies equip their equipment with an LCD display, providing information about the speed, the remaining battery charge. This can be useful especially on long journeys.
• An important factor in the comfortable use of any vehicle is its cargo space. It is important not to make a mistake when choosing, to think about how you plan to use the tricycle and whether you need an additional rack to transport food or other items around the city.

Before you buy a reliable device for permanent use, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the motorcycle market, companies representing various lines of their products.

You can buy a tricycle in a hardware store, but due to their small distribution in Russia, it is better to use an online store, order a trike online.
