Top 3 Electric Trikes for Seniors in 2024

EveryBody eBikes is the largest retailer of electric trikes in Australia. Selling exclusively to riders who want the safety and stability of three-wheels, our trike range is second to none. For this reason, we are very well positioned to provide guidance on the top 3 electric trikes for seniors in 2024!

We offer electric trikes designed for seniors, individuals with balance issues, and those with disabilities. Additionally, we provide electric tricycles for carrying cargo and trikes intended to transport passengers. 

The top-3 best-selling trikes in Australia: 

1. Trident electric semi-recumbent (sit-down) tricycle 
2. Trident FT fat-tyre electric semi-recumbent (sit-down) tricycle 
3. Trojan fat-tyre upright electric trike 

In 2024, the best electric trikes are split into 2 main groups.

1. Sit-down Electric Trikes 

The top-selling electric tricycle for 2024 has a sit-down design. It is our very popular semi-recumbent model, the Trident.

In 2024, for the first time, this model was offered in 2 configurations – the standard and the FT (fat-tyre) models. Experiencing the strongest growth in sales across the country, the best-seller was the standard model with 2.125” tyres, particularly popular with riders who live in metro areas or with limited space.

Our regional customers though were ecstatic with the release of the FT version, and this is quickly becoming another best-seller for electric trikes for seniors and those living in the bush! Rides a little bit higher so those who prefer a higher seated position, this model is just perfect.

Everyone just loves the sit-down design of this model for the comfort, the ease of getting in and out (it has a seat height the same as a dining chair!) and its versatility with handling camber changes and looser surfaces. The Trident hugs the land and makes riding on three-wheels an absolute dream. 

Perfect for older riders, those living at the coast or in the bush or wanting a stable trike for around town. Also ideal for riders who have lost their confidence or want the extra stability and comfort of a sit-down design. 

Now available in 3 motor types, the Trident is by far the best electric trike with the most versatile configuration in Australia.

Upright electric trikes 

The best-selling upright trike by far in 2024 has been the Trojan fat-tyre electric tricycle.  

People are telling us how much they love the chunky look, but also the handling with the mid-drive motor which delivers the power in a more natural way than most hub-drive trikes. As safety is always of utmost importance, we find the Trojan suits older riders and younger riders alike and also those who want to fit in with their 2-wheeled counterparts.

This photo shows clearly the difference in the rider height when comparing a sit-down model to an upright model.

Why is this important?

Well, the design of the trike greatly influences the handling. Forget about differentials and axles, the ability to handle changes in camber is the most important determinant in whether you can ride an upright trike or whether you feel safer on the sit-down model. The taller the rider, the higher they will sit on a Trojan and this alone impacts whether it is a good fit or not. Let us show you the difference and you can decide for yourself which criteria make the most difference for you.
