When most people think “electric,” they picture e-bikes or scooters. But there’s another category quietly becoming a game-changer for riders of all ages and abilities: electric trikes (E-Trikes).
At BHive Moto in West Jordan, we’re seeing more customers asking for stability, comfort, and confidence—not just speed. That’s exactly where E-Trikes shine.
What Is an E-Trike?
An E-Trike is a three-wheeled electric bike that combines:
-
The stability of a trike
-
The power and assist of an e-bike motor
-
The practicality of a small utility vehicle
They’re perfect for riders who want more balance, more cargo capacity, and less stress.
Who Are E-Trikes For?
E-Trikes are incredibly versatile. They’re a great fit for:
-
Seniors who want to stay active and independent without worrying about tipping over
-
Riders with balance or mobility challenges who find traditional bikes intimidating
-
Parents and caregivers who need a safe, stable way to haul kids or groceries
-
Commuters looking for a car-alternative for short trips
-
Business owners doing local deliveries or on-site service runs
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to ride, but I don’t feel super confident on two wheels,” an E-Trike is likely your answer.
Why E-Trikes Are Gaining Popularity
1. Stability = Confidence
Three wheels mean you don’t have to worry about balancing at low speeds or when stopping. That’s huge for new riders, older riders, or anyone who hasn’t been on a bike in years.
2. Comfort for Real-World Riding
Most E-Trikes are built with:
-
Upright seating
-
Wide, cushioned saddles
-
Easy step-through frames
That makes mounting, dismounting, and riding much more comfortable—especially for longer trips around the neighborhood or city.
3. Serious Cargo Capacity
E-Trikes are basically mini utility vehicles. Many come with:
-
Front and rear baskets
-
Integrated racks
-
Options for child seats or pet carriers
Groceries, work bags, small tools, even a Costco run—E-Trikes can handle it.
4. Electric Assist Makes It Easy
With a built-in motor and battery, E-Trikes help you:
-
Climb hills without burning out
-
Ride farther than you would on a traditional trike
-
Choose how much effort you want to put in with pedal assist or throttle (depending on the model)
You still get outside, still move your body—but the bike does the heavy lifting.
Why E-Trikes Make Sense in Utah
For riders in West Jordan and the greater Salt Lake Valley, E-Trikes are especially practical:
-
Short local trips: Perfect for rides to the park, store, or a friend’s house
-
Mixed terrain: Many models handle neighborhood streets, paved paths, and light gravel
-
Rising fuel costs: Swapping short car trips for E-Trike rides can save real money over time
Plus, you get all the benefits of fresh air and movement—without the stress of balancing a heavy two-wheeler.
