The 2026 sixthreezero Electric Trike Lineup: Every Model Explained

How to Read the 2026 Lineup Before You Pick

I've spent about 20 years in the bike and e-bike industry, and the question I hear most from e-trike shoppers isn't "which one is best?" It's "which one is best for me?" Those are two very different questions. The answer to the second one depends on your body, the ground you ride on, what you want to carry and who you want to bring along.

Our 2026 electric trike lineup is the biggest we've ever put together. There are new models, new features and enough variety that when I lined everything up for this walkthrough, a few trikes still weren't in the room. I'm going to cover all of them anyway, starting with our most affordable folding trike and finishing with the tandem.

Fair warning: this is a long one. Skip ahead to the section you care about if you like. My goal is simple. By the end, you should either feel confident about one trike or have it narrowed down to two. I'll tell you who tends to like what, explain the specs that actually matter, and be straight with you about where each model struggles.

Upright versus forward pedaling

One idea will come up over and over in this article, so let me explain it now. On a traditional upright trike, the pedals sit basically right underneath your body. To get proper leg extension, you have to raise the seat, and that puts you higher off the ground. Some riders are perfectly happy up there. A lot of senior riders are not. They'd rather sit lower with the pedals moved forward, so they still get a full leg extension without perching up high.

Semi-recumbent and recumbent trikes do exactly that. The further forward the pedals go, the lower the seat can sit. Upright frames tend to be shorter and more compact. Forward-pedal frames tend to be longer, lower and more stable. Neither is wrong. It just depends on what you value more.

Every range number is an estimate

I'll quote ranges for most of these trikes, and I want to be honest about what those numbers mean. They're approximations, and three factors move them more than anything else:

• Rider weight. This one has a very large impact. A rider in the 120 to 150 pound range will often get more range than I quote, while a 250-pound rider will usually get less.
• Terrain and topography. Hills and off-road riding drain the battery faster, and a heavier rider climbing hills drains it faster still.
• How you use the motor. Every trike in this lineup has five levels of pedal assist and a throttle. Riding in level five all the time, or on throttle only, will empty the battery quicker than pedaling in a lower assist level.

It sounds obvious, but this is exactly why nobody can give you an exact range for any e-bike or e-trike on the market. Treat my numbers as a starting point, not a guarantee. If you're lighter and mostly on flat ground, you may well beat them.

We start with our most affordable electric trike, the Easy Transit. It's also the most compact and lightest e-trike we make, and it comes in two versions: one with 2-inch wide tires and a fat tire version with 4-inch tires.

It folds completely in half

The handlebars fold down, and the frame unlatches in the middle so the whole trike folds in half. There's a small knack to it. You lift up at the hinge, the frame cracks open, and then it folds over. If you want to watch the full process, including loading it into the back of a car or SUV, I've done that in other videos on our YouTube channel and on the product page. If transport and storage top your list, our folding electric trikes are the place to start.

16-inch wheels make the difference

What really sets the Easy Transit apart is its 16-inch wheels. You don't see many e-trikes with wheels that small. Most run 20 inches or bigger. Going down to 16 inches shrinks the footprint, keeps the trike short and narrow, and lowers it to the ground so it's easier to get on and off. It turns easily and handles tight spaces well.

Between the two versions, the tires are the story. The 2-inch model is easier to transport because it takes up a lot less space. The 4-inch fat tire model adds a bit of stability and lets you head off-road.

Our most traditional riding position

The Easy Transit is now the most traditional e-trike in our lineup. The riding position is fully upright, with the pedals directly below you. That means you'll need to raise the seat high enough for proper leg extension, so you sit higher than you would on a forward-pedal design. Some riders don't feel comfortable that high. In exchange, you get a shorter, more compact frame. If you want to sit as low as possible with maximum stability, I'd point you toward a different design later in this article. If you want compact and easy to travel with, this is it. You can see it alongside our other upright electric tricycles.

Weight, baskets and the details

Both versions weigh roughly 70 pounds. I know that sounds heavy, but for an e-trike it's actually pretty light, and that number includes the baskets. Plenty of e-trikes list their weight without baskets, so keep that in mind when you compare. Pull the battery and the baskets off and it gets lighter still.

Each one comes with a rear basket, a front basket and front and rear fenders. The trikes I had on camera were missing the front basket and fenders, but they do ship with them. The headlight is integrated, and the display on both is black and white.

Motor, speed and battery

Both versions use a 750-watt motor, and the fat tire version has a little more torque for off-road terrain and steeper hills. Top speed is 16 mph. You get five levels of pedal assist, a push throttle so you can ride without pedaling at all, and a reverse function. If backing up matters to you, take a look at our e-trikes with a reverse gear.

The battery is 10.4 amp hours, which is smaller than on some of our other models. That's on purpose. If you're folding a trike and lifting it into a car, you want it lighter, and you don't necessarily need a huge battery. Range is up to about 50 miles, with all the caveats I covered above.

Riding without the motor

Both have seven gears, just like a regular bicycle. The 2-inch version is relatively easy to pedal with the motor off. The fat tire version is harder to push on your own because of those wide tires. So if you think you'll want to pedal without assistance some of the time, go with the thinner tires.

These two are our entry-level e-trikes, and they're great for travel, for tight spaces and for anyone who needs a trike that folds.

Next up is our four-wheel section. Four-wheelers are a great option if you don't feel comfortable on three wheels, if you've heard things about trikes you don't like, or if you simply like the look. Sit on one and the benefit is immediate: four wheels on the ground is more stable. The one trade-off is turning radius. It's a little wider than on a trike, where you have a single front wheel you can turn as hard as you want. It's not a huge difference, but it's there. You can browse all of our 4-wheel e-bikes to compare them side by side.

ANYterrain: tilting steering and dual rear suspension

The ANYterrain Stabilized has a tilting steering system up front. When one front wheel rises over a bump, the other stays planted. That does two things. It acts like a suspension, absorbing a lot of shock, and it keeps the bike balanced and very agile while both front wheels stay on the ground. Riders really like it.

In the rear, two springs underneath give you dual rear suspension that dampens vibration as you roll over bumps. Because the rear end is fixed, you won't get much side-to-side give back there, but you do get that up-and-down absorption.

It runs a 750-watt rear-mounted motor with a 20 amp hour battery. We bumped up the battery because with four fat tires on the ground, you want the extra range. The tires are 4 inches wide, 20 inches in the rear and 16 inches in the front. The smaller front wheels angle the bike ever so slightly forward, putting more weight over that steering system so it handles bumps and crevices better.

You also get reverse, seven gears, front and rear lights, turn signals, a horn and hydraulic disc brakes on all four wheels, so stopping power is excellent. It's smooth and a lot of fun to ride. Canopies are available, and so is a hitch attachment in the rear.

On the ANYterrain Stabilized, the pedals are moved forward slightly, but you're still close to straight up and down, so you'll raise the seat for proper leg extension. You can also swap the rear basket for a passenger seat, and that platform back there is a footrest. We recommend no more than 200 pounds in that seat. It's smaller than a dedicated passenger trike, so if carrying people is a big part of your plans, keep that in mind.

The ANYterrain Recumbent

There's also a recumbent ANYterrain that wasn't with me that day, and it's become pretty popular. It's the same idea with a captain's chair, lower to the ground, with the pedals fully out in front of your body. The seat reclines and spins, and it slides forward and back so you can really dial in your position. Motor, steering system and cargo space are essentially the same. Right now you can't add a passenger seat to the recumbent because the frame is already long. That's something we're working on.

Simple Glide 4 Wheel: the community cruiser

Our other four-wheeler is the Simple Glide 4 Wheel. Its tires are 3 inches wide, an inch narrower than the ANYterrain's, and the seating is semi-recumbent. The seat reclines, slides forward and back, and raises and lowers, and it's well padded with a seat belt. The handlebars adjust closer to or farther from you, and the color display tilts so you can find the right angle.

The canopy is optional. On cold, windy days the windshield makes a bigger difference than you'd expect. If you're riding in 40 or 50 degree weather with a stinging breeze, it makes the ride significantly warmer.

It has a 750-watt motor, a 15 amp hour battery good for up to about 50 miles depending on how you ride, 20-inch rear and 16-inch front tires for nimble steering, hydraulic disc brakes, a rear basket for groceries and a front basket you could put your dog in. It's at its best in that 5 to 12 mph range. If comfort and stability are your top two priorities and you just want to get around your community, it honestly feels like a personal golf cart.

A note on hills with four wheels

Hills are a bit harder on any four-wheeler, and rider weight matters a lot here. I'm 230 pounds, and I've filmed myself getting up hills on both of these. You won't fly up, depending on the grade, but you'll get there. As a rule of thumb, riders under 200 pounds can most likely use the throttle alone to climb. Over 200 pounds, plan on using pedal assist. Set your expectations accordingly, and know that lighter riders will always have an easier time.

Now we're back to three wheels with the Relaxed Body. It has a 750-watt rear-mounted motor and a semi-recumbent design. From a distance it resembles a traditional trike, but look closer and you'll see the seat is lower and the pedals are moved forward. It sits between our full recumbent e-trikes and our upright models.

Who it's for

If you want a trike but don't want a big chair-style seat, and you'd still like that forward pedaling position, this is a really cool option. The seat sits lower to the ground, and because the pedals are moved forward, you still get good leg extension. You're upright, just not as upright as on a traditional frame. Stretching the frame and using this geometry adds a lot of stability.

It's also a great pick if you want to pedal, or think you might want to pedal without the motor. It rolls really nicely without electric assistance, and the riding position is very comfortable. You can sit up straight and relax.

Specs and features

The tires are 3 inches wide. There's huge cargo space in the back, mechanical disc brakes and a 15 amp hour battery. The battery was actually missing from the trike on camera that day. It was most likely sitting on a charger. You get a nice large display, a twist throttle you can use without pedaling, and five levels of pedal assist.

Where it shines

I like the Relaxed Body for getting around town and your community. It does really well on hills because of its slick tread, and with 3-inch tires instead of 4-inch, there's less resistance on the climb. Those 3-inch tires are still wide enough for hard-pack trails, too.

So I like it for pretty much everything. It's a different look and feel. If you want something that looks like a traditional trike but still gives you stability, cargo room and a relaxed body position, the Relaxed Body is a great option.

The Simple Glide series now has four versions: the 500W, the Fat Tire 750W, the Dual 750W and a new laid-back version that wasn't there when I filmed. What they all share is the high-backrest seat with armrests. If you're battling back pain and want real support, it's the best seat we offer. Look at the platform you're sitting on, too. The first thing a lot of people say when they sit down is, "Oh yeah, I could go 20 miles on this easy." On a traditional saddle, many of those same people sit down and it hurts. That's why the series sits at the top of our most comfortable electric trikes.

For 2026, you can also upgrade to a captain's chair as an accessory. It reclines forward and backward and rotates, which takes the comfort up another level.

All four versions have a twist throttle, five levels of pedal assist and seven gears you can shift while riding to find the right cadence.

Simple Glide 500W

The 500W has a 500-watt motor, a 15 amp hour battery, a front basket as standard, mechanical disc brakes and 2-inch tires, 20 inches in the rear and 16 in the front. It sits a little lower than the fat tire version and has a slightly smaller frame. If you're around 4'11" to 5'2", this is a good option, and the fat tire may feel a bit big depending on your body.

The 500 watts is great for riders under 200 pounds and for anyone sticking mainly to pavement around town. It could be your mobility device. Even above 200 pounds, if you're mostly on flat ground, it will work, and you'll save money versus upgrading. With 2-inch tires, it's also reasonable to pedal without the motor.

Simple Glide Fat Tire 750W

Moving up to the fat tire version, pedaling without the motor gets harder because of those big, knobby 4-inch tires. In return, you get a larger battery, a flip-down footrest so you can just twist the throttle and rest your feet, and a hitch attachment in the back. Install a hitch ball and you can tow an extra trailer for cargo or a seat. That's not available on the 500W. The 2026 version moves from mechanical to hydraulic disc brakes.

The frame also folds at the front, which helps with storage or a car rack with limited width. The fat tires add stability and let you take on more aggressive off-road trails, acting as shock absorbers so you don't feel the brunt of it. Browse our fat tire electric trikes if that's the kind of riding you have in mind.

The new laid-back version

The laid-back version is basically the fat tire model stretched out, with the pedals moved forward about 12 inches so you're pedaling fully out in front of your body, and the seat sits even lower. If it's hard for you to climb up onto a standard Simple Glide seat, this could be the answer, though a lower seat can be harder to get out of, so think about that. It also comes with hydraulic brakes and the new large color display.

Simple Glide Dual 750W

The Dual is the top of the series: two motors, two batteries and full rear suspension under the seat. Push down on it and it flexes and absorbs. When I take it off-road, I notice the difference right away. It's really smooth.

You get 30 amp hours of total battery and a 750-watt motor at both the front and the rear, for a possible 1,500 watts combined. You can run just one motor, so if your local law limits you to 750 watts, keep it there and switch to both when you need it for off-road riding and hills. It also has hydraulic disc brakes, a rear basket mounted to the frame and an available canopy.

For me at 230 pounds, getting up hills is substantially easier on the Dual. If you're above 200 to 220 pounds, ride big hills, want maximum comfort or just want to go fast and have fun off-road, this is the one.

Quick summary

The 500W is for community riding, lighter riders and paved streets. The Fat Tire handles trails and adds stability, though not huge hills on a single 750-watt motor. The laid-back version is for anyone who wants a more recumbent position, on trails or pavement. The Dual is for power, heavy riders, big hills and maximum comfort.

Rickshaws are one of my favorite categories, for obvious reasons: there's a passenger seat on the back. Our electric rickshaw trikes now come in four versions. Two weren't there when I filmed: the dual motor, dual battery version and the new recumbent version.

What every rickshaw shares

Every version has a rear passenger seat with storage underneath that folds down for your belongings. They all now include a hitch ball, so you can attach an additional row of seating or a cargo basket behind your passengers. All have hydraulic disc brakes, a horn, turn signals and mirrors, plus a throttle and five levels of pedal assist, so you can pedal or not. A canopy is available as an add-on for all of them. If carrying people is the priority, see all of our e-trikes for passengers.

EVRYjourney Rickshaw 750W

This is our entry-level rickshaw and our tried-and-true bestseller for a few years now. It has a 750-watt front hub motor and a 21 amp hour battery with Samsung cells, along with front suspension to absorb bumps and lights front and rear. It's great if you have a couple of kids and want to ride around the neighborhood, and it has more than enough power for small hills and pavement.

Here's the honest part. With heavier passengers and bigger hills, it won't always be easy, especially for a heavier rider like me. Add your weight, your passengers and the trike itself, and climbing gets harder. A 160-pound rider can carry more and still climb comfortably. On flat ground, though, rider weight hardly matters. I've ridden this hundreds, if not thousands, of miles with kids on the bench and more kids in the trailer behind, and on flat ground it was absolutely no problem.

People often ask about rear suspension. We don't have it, because of the strength needed to support the passengers. We're still working on a way to add it without compromising the structure. Passenger safety comes first, but it's in the pipeline.

EVRYjourney Rickshaw 1000W Mid Drive

Battery size and most features are the same, but this version has a 1,000-watt mid-drive motor in the middle of the trike. Mid-drive motors typically have more torque than rear or front hub motors, so you're adding 250 watts and more torque at once. If you climb a lot of hills, carry heavier passengers, use the trailer or go on longer rides, this makes the experience substantially easier. Check your local laws first to make sure 1,000 watts is street legal where you live. This version also comes with a front basket, which is an add-on on the base model. Both have color displays and seven gears.

EVRYjourney Recumbent Rickshaw 750W

The recumbent rickshaw marries recumbent pedaling with the ability to carry passengers. The rider sits lower in a captain's chair with the pedals out in front, which means more back support and more comfort. It has a 750-watt rear-mounted motor and a 21 amp hour battery, with power similar to the standard 750W. I really like it. That said, a lot of people prefer sitting upright like on a normal trike, so it comes down to you.

EVRYjourney Rickshaw Dual 750W

The double motor, double battery rickshaw pairs a rear-mounted motor with a front hub motor for up to 1,500 watts, and you can switch between one motor and both. Keep it at 750 watts to stay street legal, or use both for big loads. Depending on how much weight you carry, some hills may simply not be possible without it. I put my kids on these all the time, and the double motor is unbelievable. It makes everything better, especially off-road and on hills. The second battery extends range, which matters with heavy loads or a trailer, since both drain a battery faster.

Everything I just described goes up in price, so think about your needs. One more tip: on any model, you can buy an extra battery and carry it with you. You don't need the dual-battery system to extend your range.

Our reverse e-trikes come in two versions, the Two Front Wheel and the Fat Tire Reverse. The front end uses the same tilting steering as our four-wheelers, and one thing needs to be very clear: these don't really balance on their own. Face one toward you and you can see the front end tilt. It wants to lean one way or the other.

You have to steer and balance

That means you need to keep the bars straight as you ride. You get more support than on a two-wheel bike, but you still need some level of balance and steering skill. If you want to sit down and be totally balanced without thinking about it, this is not the e-trike for you. If you have balance issues and can't keep yourself upright, it's not a good choice either.

The payoff is agility. You can corner on these better than on our other e-trikes and really lean into turns. They steer and feel like a two-wheel bike, while regular trikes feel like trikes. If you're coming off a two-wheeler and segueing toward a trike, this is a much more natural transition. Honestly, it's a lot of fun.

Specs

Both have a 750-watt rear-mounted motor, a 10.4 amp hour battery, 16-inch front wheels and a 20-inch rear wheel. The Two Front Wheel uses 2-inch tires. The Fat Tire Reverse uses 4-inch tires, so if you want extra stability, more off-roading or more shock absorption on trails, go fat. Both fold for easy transport, both have mechanical disc brakes that stop really nicely, and both come with a front basket. I've done several videos showing how they fold and travel, so check those out.

Last but not least is the EVRYjourney Tandem. Two riders, two sets of pedals, a huge rear cargo basket and a front basket. It has a 750-watt rear-mounted motor and a 20 amp hour battery. Put simply, if you want to ride with a partner and you both want to pedal, this is the one. See our tandem electric trikes for details.

How the linked pedals work

The difference from a rickshaw is that both riders pedal. The pedals are linked, so if one of you pedals, you both pedal. There's a small foot platform for the rear rider, but you need fairly small feet to use it. The throttle solves that: when you use it, neither of you has to pedal, and you can just enjoy the ride. You can also turn the motor off and pedal together, then kick in assistance on the hills.

It has hydraulic disc brakes, a twist throttle, seven gears and five levels of pedal assist.

Who it suits

Tandems take a little getting used to because you have to work in unison. They're great when one partner doesn't have the leg power to ride alone anymore and the other can do more of the work, with the motor helping both. They're also a good way to ride with someone who is blind or legally blind, or someone who can't balance or pedal well on their own but can keep their feet moving. It's a nice way for them to get some exercise. I have videos on our YouTube channel of myself and others riding it.

That's the 2026 sixthreezero e-trike lineup. It's a lot of models and a lot of options. If you have specific questions, email the team at theteam@sixthreezero.mom, call us at (310) 982-2877 or leave a comment on the video, and we'll get back to you.

Every e-trike comes with our 30-day test ride. If you don't love it in the first 30 days, send it back with no questions asked and no money out of your pocket. We also stand behind every trike with our sixthreezero warranty, covering parts and labor if something goes wrong.

If you're nearby and want to test ride before you buy, come visit our store and try any of these trikes in person to make sure you're making the right choice.

Before you purchase, join our sixthreezero Pedalers group on Facebook. There are thousands of members, and talking with people who already ride these trikes is one of the best ways to make sure you choose the right one.
