The Velotric Triker has a 14.6-inch stand-over, a seat with a backrest, a parking brake, and starts out capped at 12 mph.1 Before anything else: its rear wheels sit 28.5 inches apart and the outside is wider, so measure your door.
Is it your kind of bike?
For riders who'd rather not balance
Three wheels mean no balancing at stops and no kickstand. The trade-offs are width and weight.1
You want a low step
Stand-over height 370 mm (14.6 inches); saddle height adjusts from 590 to 983 mm (23.2 to 38.7 inches).
You'd like a backrest
Velotric lists a "Triker seat with adjustable back rest".
You want to start slow
12 mph by default, adjustable from 8 to 20 mph, plus a 2 mph walk mode.
You carry shopping
Rear basket, 500-lb max load including the basket's contents.
Before your first ride. Velotric's FAQ says to mount from the left side, keep your balance centered, use the handlebars or backrest for stability, and stop fully before stepping off. It offers a Beginner Mode (slower speed, simpler controls) and a tutorial video. Velotric doesn't list a turning radius; try a trike at a dealer if you can.1
Before you buy
Will it fit through your door?
Velotric lists a rear track width of 28.5 inches (wheel spacing) and a length of 64.8 inches, but no overall width; the outside is at least one 3-inch tire wider, so about 32 inches or more. It weighs 85.8 lbs, so carrying it up steps isn't realistic for most people.1
- Measure the narrowest point between where it will live and the street: gate, side door, hallway.
- Ask for the widest point. Velotric doesn't list the overall width: ask Velotric or a dealer before you order, because a return costs at least USD 200.
- Check the floor space: 64.8 inches long and about 32 inches or more wide, plus room to walk around it.
- Plan for charging where you can watch it, near a wall outlet (below).
Charging. Triker: 48 V, 3 A charger in the box1. Velotric doesn't state charging times. Charge where you can watch it, never overnight or while you're out, with the charger that came with the bike,8 plugged straight into a wall outlet, not an extension cord.9 Battery safety basics
Fit check
Does it fit you and your load?
Checked against Velotric's stated rider height (4'10" to 6'5") and 500-lb max load.1

Honest limits
Skip the Triker if…
- Your door, gate or hallway is narrower than about 32 inches.Or ask Velotric for the overall width first. And skip it if the only way out is up or down steps: it weighs 85.8 lbs.
- You want to ride faster than 20 mph.It's class 1 and 2 only. A two-wheel e-bike can be set to class 3 (28 mph) where that's allowed.
- You need to store it in a car.Velotric lists a foldable stem, not a folding frame. The Fold 1 Plus folds to 37.8 × 19.7 × 33.5 inches.
- You're under 4'10" or over 6'5".That's outside Velotric's stated rider height.
- You need delivery to New York City.Velotric says it can't currently ship e-bikes to NYC addresses.

Questions before you buy
How fast does it go?
Velotric ships the Triker capped at 12 mph; the cap can be set from 8 to 20 mph. It's listed as class 1 and 2, so it never assists above 20 mph.
Is it hard to ride if I've never ridden a trike?
Riding a trike feels different from riding a bicycle. Velotric's FAQ points first-time riders to a tutorial video and a Beginner Mode with a slower speed and simpler controls, and says to stop fully before stepping off and to mount from the left side.
Where do I park it?
Velotric's geometry table gives a total length of 1647 mm (64.8 inches) and a rear track width of 725 mm (28.5 inches): that's the spacing of the rear wheels, not the outside width, which Velotric doesn't list. The outside is wider by at least one 3-inch tire, so plan for about 32 inches or more and ask Velotric or a dealer for the widest point. The brake lever has a parking brake.
How much can it carry?
Velotric gives a 500-lb max load, including what's in the rear basket. We read it as including the 85.8-lb trike too, which leaves about 414 lbs for you and your cargo.
How far does it go on a charge?
Velotric's figure is up to 60 miles with pedal assist and 50 miles on the throttle, for a 198-lb rider in the lowest assist level on flat terrain. More load, hills and cold shorten that. Range guide.
What if it isn't right for me?
You can ask for a return within 14 days of delivery. Velotric deducts USD 200 for an unused trike or 22 % of the price for a used one (about USD 550 at today's price).
Have you tested it?
No, we don't test bikes. This page uses Velotric's spec sheet, geometry table, FAQ, warranty and return terms. Other makers sell electric trikes too; we haven't compared them here and earn nothing from them.
Do you earn money from this page?
Possibly. We've applied to Velotric's affiliate program on Impact; once approved, buying through our links can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. How we make money.
