Frequently asked questions
Is the MotoTec Electric Trike a pedal bike?
No, it's an electric-only three-wheel personal transporter you ride sitting or standing, not a pedal bicycle.
How far will it go on a charge?
MotoTec states over 20 miles per charge, and one owner using it for a 4-mile daily commute each way reports no noticeable power loss during the day.
Does it handle hills and gravel well?
Reports are mixed. Several owners say leaning forward to weight the front tire helps on inclines and gravel, while at least one reviewer found the front tire would not grip on any incline.
