Key Features to Look for When Browsing Electric Trikes for Sale
When you're looking for electric trikes for sale, understanding these key features will help you choose the perfect match.
-
Motor Power: Motors range from 250W to 750W. A 250W motor is great for flat terrain and complies with most Australian regulations. For hills or heavy cargo, a 500W or 750W motor provides more torque.
-
Battery Range: Ranges typically vary from 60 km to over 160 km per charge. Consider models with larger batteries, like our UL-certified 20Ah Samsung packs, for longer adventures.
-
Payload Capacity: If you plan to carry cargo, check the maximum load. Some of our models support up to 225 kg, making them incredibly practical.
-
Braking Systems: Mechanical disc brakes are easy to maintain, while hydraulic disc brakes offer superior stopping power with less hand effort, ideal for heavier loads. A parking brake is a must-have for stability when stopped.
-
Frame Design: A "step-through" frame with a low top tube makes mounting and dismounting easy and safe for riders of all mobilities.
-
Seat Comfort: Unlike narrow bike saddles, many trikes offer wide, comfortable seats with backrests, reducing strain on long rides.
-
Wheel Size and Tyres: Smaller wheels can lower the step-over height, while larger wheels offer a smoother ride. Fat tyres (around 4 inches wide) provide excellent stability and comfort on varied terrain like gravel or sand.

Safety and Maintenance Essentials
To ensure a safe and long-lasting experience with your e-trike, follow these essentials.
Riding and Safety:

Pre-Ride Checks: Always check your tyre pressure, brakes, and battery charge before you ride.
-
Visibility: Wear a helmet and use lights and high-visibility clothing to ensure you're seen by others.

-
Battery Care: Avoid fully depleting the battery and store it indoors away from extreme temperatures to maximize its lifespan.
-
Cleaning and Lubrication: Regularly clean your trike and lubricate the chain to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
