Electric tricycles, also known as e-trikes, are three-wheeled mobility devices that offer riders a high degree of stability at low speeds. Their stability makes them ideal for seniors or other adults with special mobility needs who are unable to balance on a bicycle or e-bike.
Electric trikes
typically have high payload capacities, giving them a remarkable amount of utility! If they don’t outright include cargo racks or baskets, they can usually be outfitted with a range of compatible accessories to help riders carry a load of groceries or other cargo. E-trikes are also well-suited for carrying heavier riders.
The following list is comprised of a handful of our go-to recommendations for e-trikes. Each differs from the
others in at least one main area; some are best for shoppers on a budget, others prioritize portability, and still others aim to maximize their overall stability and accessibility.
