XP Trike2: Electric Tricycles

What is an Electric Tricycle?

An electric tricycle is a three-wheeled eBike powered by a motor and battery, with two wheels and one rider position that stays upright on its own. 

The extra wheel removes the need to balance, which makes starting, stopping, and low-speed riding far easier than on a two-wheeled eBike. Electric trikes suit riders who want stability for errands, recreation, or daily transportation, and the rear axle typically supports a cargo area for groceries, gear, or a pet carrier.

Why Buy an Electric Trike from Lectric?

The Lectric XP Trike 2 is the freedom on three wheels. This powerful electric tricycle accommodates a wide range of rider abilities and preferences with our lowest standover height ever at just 13.8 inches. Capable, comfortable, and completely foldable, the XP Trike 2 is the best-selling electric trike in America. Now available in exciting new color options, its hydroformed frame has been fully redesigned for maximum comfort. It now features our new Cloud 50 suspension, a 9 degree stem for improved posture, and an updated seating position for greater stability, making it big on fun and easy on the joints.

This versatile etrike comes in two powerful options: our 500W base model with all the standout features of the original design, and a 750W upgrade for riders who want extra power and cargo capability. An in-house designed torque sensor delivers smoother, more responsive pedaling, while a long range electric tricycle battery ensures you can ride farther, longer, and harder. Best of all, the XP Trike2 is a foldable electric tricycle, making transport and storage a breeze.

Are Electric Tricycles Good for Seniors?

Electric tricycles are a common choice for seniors because the three-wheel design removes the balance demand that makes two-wheeled bikes harder as riders age. A step-through frame makes it easier to get on-and-off, and pedal assist lets riders cover distance and climb hills without reaching peak cardiovascular effort. 

For adults who have always loved getting outdoors, eTrikes can make it possible to continue a beloved hobby later in life. No matter your age, you can experience the joy of riding. 

What to Look for in an Electric Tricycle

There are plenty of options out there for eTrikes. The best ones will have these things in common:

• It's easy to get on. A low step-through frame that’s easy to mount and dismount is an essential part of a good eTrike.
• It handles your hills and inclines. A great eTrike keeps moving on inclines instead of slowing to a crawl, and the XP Trike2 comes in two options for exactly this: a standard 500W model for flatter terrain and rolling hills, and a stronger 750W model that takes steeper climbs in stride.
• It has real-world range that matches what’s advertised. The number that matters isn't the biggest range on the box, it's whether one charge covers your errands, your ride, and a little cushion. A full charge on the XP Trike2 lasts up to 50 miles, or up to 70 on the long-range model, which is a full day out for most riders.
• It carries your cargo. Part of the appeal of a trike is hauling things a two-wheeler can't, so a great one gives you cargo room and a clear carrying capacity. The XP Trike2 carries up to 415 pounds all in, with a built-in rear rack and baskets you can add front and back for groceries, gear, or a pet carrier along for the ride.
• It fits your space. The best eTrike is one you can easily store and take with you. The XP Trike2 folds down at the stem and frame and drops its wheel, battery, and seat in seconds, so it fits in a trunk, an RV, or a closet.
