Electric tricycles are classified according to their different purposes
1. Leisure-type electric tricycles
Leisure-type electric tricycles are mainly used for personal purposes. They are often used by the elderly for leisure and entertainment, picking up children to school, or buying groceries and visiting relatives. The elderly can use them as a means of transportation for going fishing, visiting parks, and exercising. The body is relatively light, the speed is relatively low, and it is energy-efficient. It also has an assistant pedal, which can be used as an emergency option when the battery is low or dead, or when going uphill or starting. This type of passenger-driven tricycle can also be used as a tool for the elderly to exercise.
2. Passenger type electric tricycles
Passenger type electric tricycles are mainly used for urban passenger transport. Their main feature is strong carrying capacity, which can accommodate five to six people. The battery capacity is relatively large, the body is relatively heavy and long, and they usually use a mid-mounted motor or a differential motor as the drive system for the rear axle. The battery capacity is large, the motor power is high, the voltage is high, and the range is relatively long. At the same time, there is an assistant pedal, which can be used when the battery is low, dead, going uphill, or starting. This type of passenger-cargo electric tricycle is mostly used in urban or rural passenger transport or for taxis. The speed is relatively high, the body is relatively large, and the wheelbase is relatively long, and the stability is relatively good.
3. Passenger-cargo dual-purpose type electric tricycles
Passenger-cargo dual-purpose type electric tricycles combine the advantages of passenger transport and freight transport. They have more uses and a wider application range. Generally, a mid-mounted motor or a differential motor is used as the main drive system. They can not only carry people but also carry goods. They can be used in both urban and rural areas. Their motor power, battery capacity, and battery group voltage are higher, so the speed is higher, the power is stronger, the range is longer, and the stability is better. At the same time, the steel used in the body is thicker, the grade is higher, and the overall cost is also higher.
4. Freight-type electric tricycles
Freight-type electric tricycles are similar to passenger-type electric tricycles in their driving methods. They mainly use a mid-mounted motor or a differential motor as the main drive system. The motor power is greater, the battery voltage is higher, the motor power is higher, and the battery capacity is larger. They are mainly used as light cargo transportation tools in cities and are characterized by low price, simple operation, convenience, and practicality compared to other motor vehicles. The steel grade of the body is the highest, the steel plate thickness is thicker, and the cost is accordingly higher.
