Tricycle

Admit it: for the longest time, you've wanted an adult-sized tricycle you can ride around town while standing. Halfbike has been making that dream come true for more than a decade, and it's now got a souped-up three-wheeler to take you places.

When you dream of flying, you likely picture yourself lying forward, not leaning back. The Swerv electric trike was designed with that fact in mind, as it puts its rider in a hair-raising prone position.

As it is, a recumbent trike is something that may already get you noticed. Add tilting wheels, and it'll draw even more attention. But with its telescoping carbon-fiber-tube body, the Allroadracer TriX is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

ICE Trikes' PERS Chainless setup turns pedaling into electricity, bringing pedal-by-wire tech to a production recumbent trike for the first time. Zero chain maintenance and over 30,000 miles before the drivetrain asks for anything.

Whether you're just looking for a more stable ride, or something a bit more comfortable than your average ebike, a pedal-assist trike could be a good shout. The Chill from Trike Bike includes a few features not common in the three-wheeled world.

A few years back, BMW teamed up with Cube and SoFlow to prototype a funky leaning cargo e-trike as part of a mobility expo. Cube subsequently launched the concept as the Trike Hybrid in 2023, and has now added a flatbed variant to the range.

Californian e-mobility outfit Viribus has launched a new electric trike family, with tasty specs like a 1,200-W peak motor on offer for pedaling or throttling up inclines, as well as dual shocks, rear differential, and a two-step folding design.

California's intriguingly named Puckipuppy has unleashed a heavy hauling electric trike called the Rottweiler that boasts a 960-watt peak motor, torque sensor, 55-mile battery and full suspension.

Though ebikes can be a great way to get around town without getting out of puff, they're not suitable for every rider. Some folks benefit from an extra wheel, lower assist speeds and extra comfort. Velotric's Triker ticks all those boxes and more.

Even though I'm a regular ebiker, as I get older I'm tempted by the stability and ease that e-trikes offer. But they're often quite a hefty financial investment. The Cerana T2 mid-motor model most definitely rides in the budget-friendly bike lane.

A couple of years ago, Arizona's Lectric built on its success in the low-cost ebike space by launching a model geared towards folks looking for more stability. Now the XP Trike has been updated with a more powerful motor and a bigger battery.

Germany's Hase Bikes has tapped Bosch power to ride on an updated version of its longest-running model, the Kettwiesel. This makes 100 Nm of torque available and can amplify pedal effort by as much as 400%.
