Electric Tricycle

Electric tricycles for adults provide the stability of three wheels and the freedom of pedal assist — an ideal solution for seniors, riders with balance challenges, and anyone who wants to ride without fear of tipping.

What makes an electric trike better than a two-wheel e-bike for some riders?

Three wheels provide static balance — the trike stays upright at a standstill without the rider needing to put a foot down. This is transformative for seniors, riders with knee or hip issues, or anyone who has lost confidence on a two-wheel bike. See our full electric trikes collection for all available models.

Can electric trikes carry cargo?

Yes — most adult electric trikes feature a rear cargo basket or deck rated for 20–50 kg, making them excellent for grocery shopping, market trips, and light hauling. The stable platform makes loading and unloading easy even on slopes.

Are electric trikes legal on Canadian roads and bike paths?

Electric trikes configured within the federal PAB standard (≤500W, ≤32 km/h) are treated as bicycles on most Canadian roads and shared paths. No licence, insurance, or registration is required in most provinces.

Do electric trikes qualify for BC's PST exemption?

Complete electric trikes meeting the federal PAB definition are exempt from BC's Provincial Sales Tax, saving buyers 7% at checkout — a meaningful reduction on higher-priced mobility products.

How fast do electric trikes go?

Street-legal electric trikes top out at 32 km/h motor-assisted speed, consistent with Canadian e-bike regulations. Most seniors and leisure riders find this speed range entirely comfortable for neighbourhood, pathway, and recreational use.
