Electric Trikes Canada (2026): 18 Matched to Your Place, Load and Size
Cover: a Playcut.ai rendering made from Addmotor’s own photograph of the Citytri E-310.
An electric trike, or electric tricycle for adults, puts you on three wheels with a motor to help, so you can stop, start and wait at a light without balancing a bicycle. Zeus eBikes Canada sells 18 of them, and this guide compares all 18, from $1,799 to $6,899, and matches each, by a method set out below, to your height, your load and the place you ride and keep it.
Quick answer. The best electric trike for most Canadian riders in 2026 is the Addmotor Citytri E-310 ($2,399): 500 W, a rear differential, a 960 Wh battery and a frame that folds. The lowest price is the Meigi Hera ($1,799); for two adults, the Addmotor Greattan L ($5,299); for the gentlest start, the Velotric Triker ($4,099); for a sore back and a low step, the Addmotor Freetan M-368X ($5,999). All 18 are in our electric trike collection.
Where to buy: Zeus eBikes Canada, the online store that publishes this guide, sells every bike linked here, with free shipping across Canada, phone support at 1-866-938-7580 and warranty claims filed with the maker for you (how buying from Zeus works).
How we built this guide. On 27 October 2026 we read every listing in the Zeus store (627 products) and found 18 complete electric trikes that can be ordered; on 28 October we re-read all 18 (prices and stock unchanged) and matched each to a place, a load and a rider size by rules fixed before any trike was scored (the method). Every figure comes from the maker’s own pages or manuals, from our listing or from RedTail eBikes, read between 17 and 28 October 2026, and each card says which. Where Meigi Canada has no page for a trike, we read Meigi’s US page, and where two sources print a figure two ways, we print both. Range and fit models come from our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, which has reviewed eight of these trikes; we convert its miles, pounds and miles per hour to metric. To decide which questions to answer, we read what Canadians type into Google about electric trikes (Google’s suggestions and Google Trends for Canada) and what riders ask each other online. Prices are ours on 28 October 2026 and can change; each card links to the live listing.

Which electric trike should you buy in Canada?
Canadian searches for “electric trike” reached a five-year high in May 2026, by Google Trends, and Zeus’s trike shelf changed with them: two earlier picks sold out and eight trikes appear here for the first time. A trike that misses your height, your doorway or your province’s rules is a $1,799 to $6,899 mistake. This guide matches all 18 to the rider, the storage and the road.
Start with three measurements: your height, your weight plus what you will carry, and the place you will ride and keep the trike. The matching section scores all 18 on each, by rules it prints, and the cards give every trike’s case for and against.
Short version: most riders do best with a 500 W delta trike with a rear differential, like the Citytri E-310 or the ONE-TRIKE 2.0. Go semi-recumbent for back comfort, full suspension for rough lanes, and two seats only if you will ride with a passenger.
Delta, reverse or semi-recumbent: which trike layout fits you?
Most riders want a delta trike, with one wheel in front and two behind: you step through and sit upright, as on a bicycle. A reverse (tadpole) trike puts its two wheels in front; a semi-recumbent seats you low against a backrest with the pedals ahead of you. Twelve of the 18 trikes here are delta trikes.
| Layout | Trikes in this guide | See one |
|---|---|---|
| Delta: one wheel in front, two behind; you sit upright | Hera, Citytri E-310, ONE-TRIKE 2.0, Meigi Zeus, Blazer, Grandtan II, both Silverados, Triker, Axis, Grandtan X, Greattan L | Citytri → |
| Reverse: two wheels in front, which tilt | SpytanX | SpytanX → |
| Semi-recumbent: a low seat with a backrest, pedals ahead | Breeze 2.0, Breeze Pro 2.0, Arisetan II, Freetan M-368X, Tour 2.0 | Freetan → |
Pick the layout by your body first. A semi-recumbent puts the pedals ahead of you and a backrest behind you, so you sit in the trike rather than over it, but check its step: the Freetan M-368X steps in at 29 cm, the Arisetan II at 67.8 cm. The reverse SpytanX suits shorter riders who want a low standover and two front wheels that tilt.
Zeus, a Canadian e-bike store, prices every bike in Canadian dollars and ships it free.
Six terms on every card, in plain words
- Rated and peak watts. The rating is what the motor delivers steadily; the peak is a short burst. Two trikes with the same rating can print very different peaks, so compare ratings.
- Wh (watt-hours). The battery’s energy: volts × amp-hours, so 48 V × 20 Ah = 960 Wh. At the same speed and load, more Wh goes farther.
- Torque or cadence sensor. A torque sensor adds power in proportion to how hard you press the pedals; a cadence sensor adds power once the pedals turn. Our motor and sensor guide goes deeper.
- Pedal assist and throttle. Assist levels set how much the motor adds while you pedal; a throttle moves the trike without pedalling.
- Rear differential. It lets the two rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner, so the inside tire does not drag.
- Step-over (standover). The height of the frame you lift a leg across to sit down: the lower it is, the easier the trike is to get on.
How do you choose an electric trike? Eight checks
Choose by fit and storage first, power second. Check the step-over and your height, the trike’s width against your doorway, the weight you may have to lift, the load rating, the brakes and parking brake, a rear differential, the motor rating against your province’s rules, and how far the battery takes you in the cold.
- Step-over and height. Published step-overs here include 28.4 cm (SpytanX), 29 cm (Freetan M-368X), 35 cm (Citytri E-310 Standard), 36 cm (both Silverados, on Meigi’s size charts), 37 cm (Velotric Triker), 38 cm (Blazer), 40 cm (Breeze 2.0, on Meet One’s size chart), 40.6 cm (Citytri E-310 Plus), 43.9 cm (Greattan L), 44.5 cm (Grandtan II and Grandtan X) and 67.8 cm (Arisetan II). RedTail eBikes’ fit tables can be stricter than a maker’s height range: the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 is listed to 6′1″, but only 6 of 100 riders at 6′0″ reach a proper saddle height on it.
- Width against your doorway. Published widths run from 72 cm (the Addmotor Citytri E-310 Standard) to 95 cm (the Addmotor SpytanX): six are wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, the Addmotor Freetan M-368X matches it, and four have no published width. A 32-inch door is 81 cm wide: measure yours at its narrowest point, and see the storage table.
- Weight. The Taubik Axis weighs 38 kg; the Citytri E-310, ONE-TRIKE 2.0 and Velotric Triker 39 kg; the Breezes and the Grandtan X 57 to 58 kg; the Freetan M-368X 67 kg; the Greattan L 70 kg. Meigi prints no weight for its trikes. Every trike here weighs more than the 23 kg (about 51 lb) that NIOSH set as a load that, under ideal conditions, is safe for 75% of women and 90% of men to lift (CCOHS), so plan to roll it, ramp it or lift it with help.
- The load rating. Your weight plus what you will carry should fit inside the Max load column below. Several makers split the figure between rider and cargo: Addmotor rates the Citytri E-310 for 127 kg of rider plus 36 kg of cargo, and Velotric’s manual counts the Triker itself inside its 227 kg. The load table gives each trike’s planning figure.
- Brakes. Look for a parking brake and count the braked wheels: the Citytri E-310, both Breezes, Grandtan II, Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike, SpytanX, Arisetan II, Grandtan X, Greattan L, Freetan M-368X and Tour 2.0 list brakes on all three wheels.
- A rear differential. It lets the two rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner. The Citytri E-310, ONE-TRIKE 2.0, both Breezes, Blazer, Grandtan II, Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike, Velotric Triker, Arisetan II, Taubik Axis, Grandtan X, Greattan L, Freetan M-368X and Tour 2.0 list one; the SpytanX has a single rear wheel.
- The motor rating and your province. Provincial e-bike rules converge on 500 W and 32 km/h. Eight trikes here are rated 500 W or less on their makers’ Canadian pages (the Meigi Zeus and Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike we sell are Meigi Canada’s 500 W models); the SpytanX’s Canadian page gives 250 W only in its FAQ while Addmotor’s US page gives 750 W, and the other nine are rated over 500 W. See the laws section.
- Range in the cold. Plan on less in winter: RedTail eBikes’ models take about a fifth off at 0 °C. See winter riding.
Before you call or order, write down five numbers: your height, the narrowest door or gate on the way to where the trike will live, that space’s length and width, your weight plus what you will carry, and your province. Each one answers a check above; the tables and cards below give each trike’s side.
Not sure which fits? Call 1-866-938-7580 with those five numbers, and we will tell you which of these 18 fits.
How do we match each electric trike to your place, load and size?
We match each trike on three things you can measure at home: your height, your weight plus what you carry, and the place you ride and keep it. Every table below uses the maker’s figure, RedTail eBikes’ measured fit or hill model where it has one, and the lower figure wherever two sources disagree.
The rules, fixed before any trike was scored
- Size. The maker’s rider-height window, and RedTail eBikes’ fit model wherever it has measured the trike: 6,068 bodies from the US Army’s 2012 anthropometric survey (ANSUR II), with the saddle 109% of inseam above the pedal, or the reach to the grips on a semi-recumbent. Where the measurement and the window disagree, both are printed.
- Load. Every load figure the maker and our listing print, read as rider plus cargo, as a split between them, or as a total that includes the trike. We plan around the lowest rider-plus-cargo reading.
- Ground. Tire width in the three bands of RedTail eBikes’ fat tire versus regular tire comparison (fat 3.5 inches and up, plus 2.6 to 3.4, regular under 2.6), and the suspension.
- Hills and storage. The power at the wheel to hold 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider on 6% and 10% grades, from the road-cycling power model of Martin and colleagues (1998) as RedTail eBikes runs it in its trike reviews; width against a 32-inch (81 cm) door; the fold; and weight against the 23 kg lifting load NIOSH sets.
Size: which electric trike fits a tall or a short rider?
Makers print a rider-height window for ten of the 18 trikes, from 140 cm (the Meet One Breeze 2.0) to 200 cm (the Addmotor Freetan M-368X). RedTail eBikes has modelled fit on seven of those ten, and where it counts saddle reach its numbers are stricter than the windows: on the Grandtan II and Grandtan X, fewer than half of 5′10″ riders reach a proper saddle height, inside windows that run to 193 cm.
Swipe each table sideways: the trike names stay in view
| Trike | Maker’s rider height | Measured fit (RedTail eBikes) | Step-over |

| Hera | Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in) off the ground | not modelled | not published |
| Citytri E-310 | 155–175 cm Standard, 160–185 cm Plus (Addmotor) | no reach table; its 6′1″ video rider calls the Plus “a little bit small” | 35 cm |
| ONE-TRIKE 2.0 | 157–185 cm (5′2″–6′1″, Eunorau) | a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 100 of 100 riders at 5′2″–5′4″, 72 at 5′8″, 53 at 5′9″ and 27 at 5′10″ (RedTail) | not published |
| Breeze 2.0 | 140–190 cm (4′7″–6′3″, Meet One) | not modelled | 40 cm |
| Zeus Fat Tire Trike | Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in) | not modelled | not published |
| Blazer | Meigi prints no rider-height range or seat height for it | not modelled | 38 cm |
| Grandtan II | 157–193 cm (5′2″–6′4″, Addmotor) | a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 84 of 100 riders at 5′8″, 43 at 5′10″ and 10 at 6′0″ (RedTail) | 44.5 cm |
| Breeze Pro 2.0 | Meet One prints no rider-height range for the Pro | not modelled | not published |
| Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike | Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in) | not modelled | 36 cm |
| Silverado Urban | Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 86–102 cm (34–40 in) | not modelled | 36 cm |
| SpytanX | 4′9″–5′9″ (Addmotor prints 149–180 cm beside it) | every surveyed rider from 4′11″ to 6′0″ clears its 28.4 cm standover; RedTail does not count saddle reach, because Addmotor gives saddle heights from the ground (RedTail) | 28.4 cm |
| Triker | 147–196 cm, one size (Velotric) | not modelled | 37 cm |
| Arisetan II M-360 | 170–198 cm (5′7″–6′6″, Addmotor) | the median rider reaches the grips sitting upright from 5′4″ to 6′3″, and 17 of 100 do at 6′4″ (RedTail) | 67.8 cm |
| Axis | Taubik prints no rider-height range or seat height | not modelled | not published |
| Grandtan X | 157–193 cm (5′2″–6′4″, Addmotor) | a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 78 of 100 riders at 5′8″, 33 at 5′10″ and 8 at 6′0″ (RedTail) | 44.5 cm |
| Greattan L | 164–193 cm (5′4″–6′4″, Addmotor) | every rider surveyed from 5′4″ to 6′4″ clears its 43.9 cm standover; RedTail gives saddle settings rather than reach counts (RedTail) | 43.9 cm |
| Freetan M-368X | 155–200 cm (5′1″–6′7″); Addmotor also prints 5′2″–6′4″ | every rider surveyed from 5′1″ to 6′4″ steps across its 29 cm step-in, and its seat slides and reclines (RedTail) | 29 cm |
| Tour 2.0 | Meet One prints no rider-height range for it | not modelled | not published |
Under 155 cm (5′1″), the windows that reach you belong to the Breeze 2.0 (from 140 cm), the SpytanX (from 4′9″) and the Triker (from 147 cm). Over 185 cm (6′1″), start with the semi-recumbents: the Arisetan II is the one RedTail measured, with its median rider reaching the grips to 6′3″, and the Freetan M-368X has the widest window, to 200 cm, on a seat that slides.
Load: which electric trike carries you and what you bring?
The planning loads run from 120 kg (the Meigi Hera, on our listing) to 249 kg (the Meet One Tour 2.0). Addmotor splits the figure into rider and cargo on six trikes, and Velotric’s manual counts the Triker itself inside its 227 kg, so the table plans around the lowest rider-plus-cargo reading for each.
| Trike | What the maker or our listing prints | Plan around | A 100 kg rider can add |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hera | 120 kg (265 lb) on our listing; 136 kg (300 lb) in Meigi’s MG708 manual | 120 kg | 20 kg |

Place: which electric trike for off-road, sand, snow or rough streets?
Tire width decides the ground. RedTail eBikes’ tire comparison builds fat tires (3.5 inches and up) for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail, plus tires (2.6 to 3.4 inches) for broken pavement, dirt roads and all-weather riding, and regular tires for pavement, bike paths and packed gravel. Of these 18, eleven run fat tires, three plus tires and three regular tires; the Silverado Urban’s tire size is not published.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hera | 24 × 2.125 in | regular: pavement, bike paths and packed gravel | none listed |
| Citytri E-310 | 20 in front, 18 in rear × 2.4 in (Standard) | regular: pavement, bike paths and packed gravel | front fork |

Place: which electric trike for hills?
On a hill most of the power lifts you and the trike, so the trike’s own weight counts: at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider, each extra 10 kg costs about 20 W at the wheel on a 6% grade and 33 W on 10%. In the model, a 39 kg trike needs 259 to 309 W on 6% and 417 to 467 W on 10%; the 87 kg Tour 2.0 needs 358 to 425 W and 579 to 646 W.

| Freetan M-368X | 317–376 W | 512–571 W | 750 W | 6% and 10% |
| Tour 2.0 | 358–425 W | 579–646 W | 2 × 750 W; climbs up to 30% (Meet One) | 6% and 10% |
Read each range as low (a road tire and a tucked rider) to high (a fat tire and an upright rider), the two cases RedTail eBikes prints in its trike reviews.
RedTail prices each climb in battery for the Grandtan M-340, Grandtan X, Arisetan II and Freetan M-368X. A rated figure is not a measured output and peaks run higher, and every watt you pedal comes off the motor’s share. Eleven trikes have a rating that covers the high case on 10%; the two Breezes cover 6%, and Meet One lists them for steeper climbs at lower speeds (20% and 25%).
Place: where will it live, and will it fit a door, a car or an RV?
Width decides the door and weight decides the lift. Published widths run from 72 cm (the Addmotor Citytri E-310 Standard) to 95 cm (the Addmotor SpytanX): six are wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, the Addmotor Freetan M-368X matches it, and four have no published width. The lightest trike here, the Taubik Axis, weighs 38 kg, well over the 23 kg (about 51 lb) that NIOSH set as a load that, under ideal conditions, is safe for 75% of women and 90% of men to lift (CCOHS).

Bring three numbers to these tables: your height, your weight plus your load, and the width of the narrowest door on the way in. A trike that passes all three and suits your ground and hills is your shortlist. If two figures disagree, call 1-866-938-7580 and we will check the trike against your numbers.

All 18 electric trikes compared
Two tables put the 18 side by side on the figures that decide most purchases: layout, rated motor, battery, top speed and where each ships from, then load, weight, fold, suspension and brakes. Every figure is the maker’s or our listing’s, read between 17 and 27 October 2026; where the two differ, or a figure is not published, the table says so.

The best electric trikes in Canada, card by card (2026)
Each card starts with who the trike suits, then where it rides and where it lives, the load and the rider size it is matched to, what its maker lists, what RedTail eBikes’ data adds where it has reviewed the trike, where it sits against the provincial rules, and the honest trade-off. The cards run from the lowest price to the highest, in three price bands.
Meigi Hera
$1,799 CADWho it is for. You ride flat streets to the shops and the park, want three wheels and a twist throttle for easy starts, and want to spend the least Zeus asks for a trike.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 × 2.125 in, in RedTail eBikes’ regular band, built for pavement, bike paths and packed gravel. Suspension: none listed. Its weight is not confirmed, so our hill model is not run for it.
Where it lives. At 76 cm wide across its rear wheels, on Meigi’s drawing, it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 5 cm, and no fold is listed.
Load. 120 kg (265 lb) on our listing; 136 kg (300 lb) in Meigi’s MG708 manual. Plan around 120 kg, which leaves 20 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in) off the ground. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meigi Canada lists a 350 W front hub motor, a removable 36 V 13 Ah battery, three pedal-assist levels with a twist throttle and a parking brake. Meigi’s MG708 manual adds a front disc brake and says that if either brake lever is pulled, the power is cut off and the motor stops.
Where it fits the rules. 350 W and 24 km/h: under the 500 W and 32 km/h the provincial e-bike rules converge on.
The honest part. Its 300 lb (136 kg) rating comes from Meigi’s manual, and our listing prints a more cautious 265 lb: plan around the lower figure. At 350 W it is a flat-ground trike; on long hills you will pedal with it.
Addmotor Citytri E-310
$2,399 Standard · $2,499 Plus CADWho it is for. You want one trike that does most things well: a 35 cm step-over, a rear differential, a 960 Wh battery and a frame that folds to 115 × 86 × 72.9 cm for a car trunk or a storage room.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 in front, 18 in rear × 2.4 in (Standard), in RedTail eBikes’ regular band, built for pavement, bike paths and packed gravel. Suspension: front fork. In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail rode the US version over potholed gravel and long grass.
Where it lives. At 72 cm wide (Standard; the Plus is 74 cm) it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 9 cm, and it folds to 115 × 86 × 72.9 cm (Standard).
Load. 127 kg rider + 36 kg cargo (Addmotor). A 100 kg rider can add 36 kg of cargo.
Size. 155–175 cm Standard, 160–185 cm Plus (Addmotor); step-over 35 cm. RedTail eBikes publishes no reach table for it; in its ride video a 6′1″ rider calls the Plus “a little bit small for me”.
What its maker lists. Addmotor Canada lists a 500 W rear-drive motor (1,100 W peak, 90 N·m), a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack under UL 2271, a UL 2849 trike system, up to 145 km on pedal-assist level 1, and 127 kg of rider plus 36 kg of cargo. It comes in two sizes: Standard for riders of 155 to 175 cm, Plus for 160 to 185 cm.
What the data says. Our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, rode the US version over potholed gravel and long grass: the folding frame held rigid, and all of the suspension is in the fork, with none at the rear. Zeus has its own two-year Citytri E-310 review.
Where it fits the rules. 500 W and 32 km/h on Addmotor Canada’s page, the numbers the provincial rules are built around. Addmotor’s US store sells a 750 W Citytri, so US reviews quote other figures.
The honest part. There is no rear suspension, so take potholes slowly or rise off the seat for the deep ones. At 39 kg (86 lb), plan how you will lift it into a car.
Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0
$2,429 CADWho it is for. You want a 500 W trike rated for 200 kg (440 lb), with a rear differential, hydraulic brakes and a frame that folds, and you stand under about 5′9″.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 2.6 in knobby, in RedTail eBikes’ plus band, built for broken pavement, dirt roads and all-weather riding. Suspension: front fork (40 mm). In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail’s ride video takes it over gravel paths and a sandy stretch.
Where it lives. At 92 cm wide it is 11 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and it folds to 124 × 92 × 110 cm.
Load. 200 kg total (Eunorau). Plan around 200 kg, which leaves 100 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. 157–185 cm (5′2″–6′1″, Eunorau). Measured by RedTail eBikes: a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 100 of 100 riders at 5′2″–5′4″, 72 at 5′8″, 53 at 5′9″ and 27 at 5′10″.
What its maker lists. Eunorau lists a 500 W rear-drive motor with 80 N·m, a 48 V 14.5 Ah battery, a 40 mm suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes whose levers cut the motor, a folding stem, one gear, and riders from 5′2″ to 6′1″.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes’ range model gives about 103 km at 16 km/h on the throttle alone, on level pavement with an 82 kg rider at 25 °C, and about 80 km at 0 °C and 72 km at −10 °C. Its fit tables have 100 of 100 riders from 5′2″ to 5′4″ reaching a proper saddle height, 72 at 5′8″, 27 at 5′10″ and 6 at 6′0″. Read our full ONE-TRIKE 2.0 review for the rest.
Where it fits the rules. Eunorau Canada lists the top speed as 32 km/h “under speed limited/locked”, while its US page calls the limit unlockable: keep it at 32 km/h.
The honest part. One gear means the motor does the work on long climbs, and at 92 cm (36.22 in) wide it is wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) doorway.
Meet One Breeze 2.0
from $2,599 CADWho it is for. Rough streets, a seat with a backrest and things to carry: full suspension (a fork plus two rear coil shocks), a speed differential, fat tires and a 204 kg (450 lb) payload, on a frame that folds.
Where it rides. Tires: 18 × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: full (fork and two rear shocks). In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 6% grade at a steady 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider and falls short on 10%, so on steep hills expect to slow down or pedal with it. Its maker lists climbing of up to 20%.
Where it lives. At 84 cm wide it is 3 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and it folds to 122 × 92 × 95 cm.
Load. 204 kg total; baskets 18.1 kg front, 45 kg rear (Meet One Canada). Plan around 204 kg, which leaves 104 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. 140–190 cm (4′7″–6′3″, Meet One); step-over 40 cm.
What its maker lists. Meet One Canada lists a 500 W hub motor with 80 N·m, a removable 48 V 15 Ah (720 Wh) battery certified to UL 2849 by SGS, 180 mm mechanical disc brakes plus a parking brake, climbs of up to 20% and 48 to 129 km of range. A second battery takes it to about 1,680 Wh. Prices run from $2,599 (one 15 Ah battery, standard seat) to $3,399 (both batteries and the premium seat).
Meet One’s Breeze 2.0 size chart suggests riders from 140 to 190 cm (4′7″ to 6′3″), with a seat 70 to 95 cm off the ground, a 40 cm standover, 84 cm of width and a fold to 122 × 92 × 95 cm. Its Canadian spec table rates the baskets for 18.1 kg at the front and 45 kg at the rear.
Where it fits the rules. 500 W and 32 km/h on Meet One’s Canadian pages, with working pedals; its display manual describes a speed setting the owner can change, so keep it at 32 km/h.
The honest part. At 57 kg net and 84 cm wide it rolls well, lifts badly and is wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, so measure the way in. The brakes are mechanical; the Breeze Pro 2.0 below has hydraulics.
Meigi Zeus Fat Tire Trike
$2,928 CADWho it is for. You want four-inch fat tires, a suspension fork and a twist throttle for under $3,000.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front fork with lockout. Its weight is not confirmed, so our hill model is not run for it.
Where it lives. At 79 cm wide across its rear wheels, on Meigi’s drawing, it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 2 cm, and no fold is listed.
Load. 150 kg (330 lb), by Meigi’s FAQ and our listing. Plan around 150 kg, which leaves 50 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meigi’s FAQ recommends riders 5′2″ to 6′3″ (157 to 191 cm); seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in). Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meigi Canada sells it as the MG1703 “ZEUS” 500 W fat-tire trike, with a Bafang motor, a Shimano shifter, a 48 V 18.2 Ah battery and 45 to 60 miles (72 to 97 km) of range. The name is Meigi’s: this is not a Zeus eBikes house brand. Meigi’s FAQ recommends a maximum weight of 330 lb (150 kg). Our listing adds mechanical disc brakes with parking brakes and a lockout suspension fork.
Where it fits the rules. The Meigi Zeus we sell is Meigi Canada’s 500 W model, and Meigi lists 20 mph (32 km/h): at the 500 W and 32 km/h the provincial e-bike rules converge on. Check your province’s rules on throttles and age before riding it on a public road.
The honest part. Ask us for its weight if you will lift it, and note that its brakes are mechanical. For hydraulic brakes on fat tires, look at the Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike below.
Under $3,000: the Citytri E-310 is the all-rounder, the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 carries the most, and the Breeze 2.0 is the only one here with full suspension and a fold for under $3,000.
Spread the cost: see what a trike costs a month with e-bike financing in Canada.
Meigi Blazer
$3,299 CADWho it is for. You want an upright trike with suspension at both ends, a rear differential, a reverse gear and two parking brakes, for less than the other upright full-suspension trikes here.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 × 2.4 in (our listing), in RedTail eBikes’ regular band, built for pavement, bike paths and packed gravel. Suspension: full (fork, seatpost and rear shock, by Meigi). Its weight is not confirmed, so our hill model is not run for it.
Where it lives. Its maker prints no width, so measure the way in before you order, and no fold is listed.
Load. 150 kg (330 lb) on our listing; Meigi prints none. Plan around 150 kg, which leaves 50 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meigi prints no rider-height range or seat height for it; step-over 38 cm. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meigi Canada’s catalogue lists the Blazer, but its Canadian product page returns “page not found”, so these figures come from Meigi’s US page. It lists a 750 W front hub with 80 N·m, a removable 48 V 16 Ah battery with Samsung cells, a lockable hydraulic front fork, a suspension seatpost, a rear frame shock, 180 mm brakes with two parking brakes and a rear differential.
Meigi adds a Shimano 7-speed, turn signals and a step-through 38 cm (15 in) off the floor, with up to 72 km on the throttle and 105 km with pedal assist (45 and 65 miles). Our listing adds a reverse gear and a 150 kg (330 lb) load rating, and prints a more cautious 70 to 95 km. It also prints 56 kg (124 lb), the same weight our Hera and Zeus listings carry; Meigi prints no weight, so this guide does not rely on it.
Where it fits the rules. 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on. Meigi’s page gives up to 40 km/h (25 mph), with 24 km/h (15 mph) as the factory default, and our listing says it is limited to 32 km/h: keep it at 32 km/h, and check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. Meigi and our listing print its speed differently, so ask us how yours is set before you order, and ask us for its weight if you will lift it.
Addmotor Grandtan II (M-340)
$3,399 CADWho it is for. Heavier riders and rougher roads: Addmotor rates it for a 159 kg (350 lb) rider plus 45 kg (100 lb) of cargo, on four-inch tires with a torque sensor, a rear differential and a parking brake.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 in front, 20 in rear × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front fork (80 mm). In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail’s hill table prices each climb in battery.
Where it lives. At 82 cm wide it is 1 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and no fold is listed.
Load. 159 kg rider + 45 kg cargo (Addmotor). A 100 kg rider can add 45 kg of cargo.
Size. 157–193 cm (5′2″–6′4″, Addmotor); step-over 44.5 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 84 of 100 riders at 5′8″, 43 at 5′10″ and 10 at 6′0″.
What its maker lists. Addmotor rates the rear motor at 750 W continuous and 90 N·m, with a half-twist throttle, seven assist levels and a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack, and stops the assist at 32 km/h. Canadian orders ship from Addmotor’s warehouse in Aurora, Ontario.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes, which sells it in the US as the Grandtan M-340, models about 108 km at 19 km/h on the throttle (level pavement, 82 kg rider), about 63 km at 32 km/h, and about 72 km at 19 km/h with the full 204 kg aboard. Its fit tables give a proper saddle height to nearly every rider from 5′2″ to 5′6″, to 84 of 100 at 5′8″ and to fewer than half at 5′10″.
Where it fits the rules. 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. It suits riders up to about 5′8″; taller riders run out of seat post, by RedTail’s tables.
Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0
from $3,499 CADWho it is for. You want the Breeze’s full suspension and fold with a torque sensor, hydraulic brakes and a bigger battery, plus a rear frame built to take a second-seat conversion for a passenger.
Where it rides. Tires: 18 × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: full (fork and two rear shocks). In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 6% grade at a steady 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider and falls short on 10%, so on steep hills expect to slow down or pedal with it. Its maker lists climbing of up to 25%.
Where it lives. Its maker prints no width, so measure the way in before you order, and it folds.
Load. 204 kg total; Meet One rates the rear basket at 45 kg in Canada and 25 kg in the US, so load it to 25 kg. Plan around 204 kg, which leaves 104 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meet One prints no rider-height range for the Pro. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meet One lists a 500 W hub motor with 90 N·m and a torque sensor, a 48 V 20 Ah (960 Wh) LG-cell battery that takes a second pack to 1,920 Wh, 180 mm hydraulic discs plus a parking brake, a 25% climbing grade and 64 to 161 km of range. Prices run from $3,499 (one battery, standard seat) to $4,399 (two batteries, premium seat).
Where it fits the rules. 500 W and 32 km/h on Meet One’s Canadian pages, with working pedals; if its display offers a speed setting, keep it at 32 km/h.
The honest part. At 58 kg net it is about as heavy as the Breeze 2.0, and the passenger seat is a conversion on a frame built for it, so ask us what it needs before you count on two seats.
Meigi Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike
$3,699 CADWho it is for. Fat tires and a fold, with hydraulic discs on all three wheels and an electric reverse for backing out of a parking spot or a tight shed.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front fork with lockout. In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider.
Where it lives. At 79 cm wide across its rear wheels, on Meigi’s drawing, it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 2 cm, and it folds.
Load. 150 kg on our listing; Meigi Canada prints 400 lb (181 kg) for its 750 W version and no figure for the 500 W model we sell. Plan around 150 kg, which leaves 50 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 81–97 cm (32–38 in); step-over 36 cm. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meigi Canada sells the 500 W model we carry with a front hub rated at 80 N·m, a removable 48 V 14 Ah Samsung battery, 35 miles (about 56 km) of range on the motor alone and 55 miles (about 89 km) with pedal assist, and up to 15 mph (about 24 km/h). Our listing adds hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels with a parking brake, a Shimano 7-speed with a differential, a lockout fork, turn signals and a horn.
Where it fits the rules. The Silverado we sell is Meigi Canada’s 500 W model, at the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province’s rules before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. Meigi lists the 500 W model at up to 15 mph (about 24 km/h), slower than most trikes here. Its battery is 672 Wh, against the 960 Wh pack on every Addmotor trike here, and if you will lift it, ask us for its weight first.
Meigi Silverado Urban
$3,699 CADWho it is for. You ride paved streets to the shops and back and want a front basket, a rear basket, fenders and a 36 cm (14 in) step.
Where it rides. Tire size: not published. Suspension: not listed. Its weight is not confirmed, so our hill model is not run for it.
Where it lives. At 79 cm wide across its rear wheels, on Meigi’s drawing, it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 2 cm, and no fold is listed.
Load. 150 kg (330 lb) in Meigi’s MG2302 manual. Plan around 150 kg, which leaves 50 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meigi prints no rider-height range; seat 86–102 cm (34–40 in); step-over 36 cm. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meigi Canada’s catalogue lists it, but its Canadian product page returns “page not found”, so these figures come from Meigi’s US page. It lists a 750 W front hub with 80 N·m, a removable 48 V 13 Ah battery with Samsung cells, a top speed of 40 km/h (25 mph), and 48 km on the throttle or 80 km with pedal assist (30 and 50 miles).
Meigi adds a Shimano 7-speed, a thumb throttle, walking mode, fenders, a rear rack, a 30 × 28 × 13 cm front basket and a 48 × 38 × 25 cm rear basket. The user manual Meigi links from that page, titled for its fat tricycle, gives a 330 lb (150 kg) maximum load and shows disc brakes, a parking brake lever and a button for reverse, turn signals and the horn.
Where it fits the rules. 750 W and a 40 km/h top speed, by Meigi’s page and our listing, are both over the 500 W and 32 km/h the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. Neither Meigi’s page nor our listing gives its weight, and at 624 Wh its battery is the second-smallest here, after the Hera’s. Ask us for the weight before you order.
Addmotor SpytanX
$3,899 CADWho it is for. Shorter riders, from 4′9″, who want a reverse trike: two front wheels that tilt, one rear wheel, a 28.4 cm standover and a fold to 104 × 88 × 80 cm with the saddle off.
Where it rides. Tires: 16 × 4.0 in, slick tread, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front, both wheels. Its hill reading in our model depends on the motor that ships: at 750 W it covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h, at 250 W neither 6% nor 10%.
Where it lives. At 95 cm wide it is 14 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and it folds to 104 × 88 × 80 cm, saddle off.
Load. 127 kg or 172 kg (380 lb), as Addmotor Canada prints both. Plan around 127 kg, which leaves 27 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. 4′9″–5′9″ (Addmotor prints 149–180 cm beside it); step-over 28.4 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: every surveyed rider from 4′11″ to 6′0″ clears its 28.4 cm standover; RedTail does not count saddle reach, because Addmotor gives saddle heights from the ground.
What its maker lists. Addmotor lists 90 N·m, a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack, up to 145 km on pedal-assist level 1, suspension on both front wheels, hydraulic discs on all three wheels and a 24 km/h top speed. It prints the motor two ways, 250 W in the FAQ on its Canadian page and 750 W (1,400 W peak) on its US page, and the payload two ways on its Canadian page: 127 kg and 380 lb (172 kg).
What the data says. RedTail eBikes models about 121 km at 16 km/h on the throttle (level pavement, 82 kg rider) and about 89 km at its 24 km/h cap.
Where it fits the rules. At 24 km/h it tops out under the 32 km/h line; whether the motor sits under 500 W depends on which rating ships, so ask us before you order.
The honest part. It stops at 24 km/h and fits riders to 5′9″ by Addmotor’s chart; taller riders should look elsewhere on this list.
Velotric Triker
$4,099 CADWho it is for. First-time and returning riders: it ships set to 19 km/h, a Beginner Mode holds it to 13 km/h, and one size fits riders from 147 to 196 cm.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 3.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ plus band, built for broken pavement, dirt roads and all-weather riding. Suspension: front fork (80 mm). In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider.
Where it lives. At 72.5 cm wide at its rear track it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 8 cm, and it folds.
Load. 227 kg “including rider and cargo” on Velotric Canada’s page, a figure its manual says includes the trike (188 kg without it). Plan around 188 kg, which leaves 88 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. 147–196 cm, one size (Velotric); step-over 37 cm.
What its maker lists. Velotric Canada lists a 750 W hub (1,300 W peak, 90 N·m), a 48 V 16.75 Ah battery under UL 2271, a rear differential, front and rear parking brakes, an 80 mm hydraulic fork with lockout, puncture-resistant 20 × 3.0″ Kenda tires, a 370 mm step-through, a frame and stem that fold, a 54 kg rear basket, a 227 kg maximum load “including rider and cargo”, and up to 97 km on pedal-assist level 1 (Velotric’s test: flat ground, 90 kg rider).
Velotric’s owner’s manual reads the same figure another way: a “Maximum Total Payload Capacity: 500 lbs” whose total “includes the weight of the e-bike, riders, all cargo”. With the trike’s own 39 kg counted, that leaves about 188 kg for you and what you carry.
Where it fits the rules. Velotric Canada rates the motor at 750 W, over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. It costs more than the 500 W folders above, its speed setting goes up to 32 km/h once you leave Beginner Mode, and the load to plan around is the manual’s 188 kg rather than the 227 kg on its page.
$3,000 to $4,100: pick the Blazer for upright full suspension, the Grandtan II for heavier riders, the Breeze Pro 2.0 for the most capable 500 W trike, the Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike for a folding fat tire, the SpytanX for shorter riders and the Triker for the gentlest start. The Silverado Urban is for city errands with two baskets, at 750 W and 40 km/h.
Addmotor Arisetan II M-360
$4,199 CADWho it is for. A sore back, neck or wrists: you sit low against a backrest and pedal forward, on three four-inch tires.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 4.0 in, all three, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front fork (25 mm). In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail rode it over grass, a hill and a curb.
Where it lives. At 79 cm wide it clears a 32-inch (81 cm) door by 2 cm, and no fold is listed.
Load. 127 kg rider + 45 kg cargo (Addmotor). A 100 kg rider can add 45 kg of cargo.
Size. 170–198 cm (5′7″–6′6″, Addmotor); step-over 67.8 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: the median rider reaches the grips sitting upright from 5′4″ to 6′3″, and 17 of 100 do at 6′4″.
What its maker lists. Addmotor rates the rear motor at 750 W (1,400 W peak) and 90 N·m, with a torque sensor, a rear differential, a parking brake, a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack and up to 137 km on pedal-assist level 1. It comes with the rear basket; the front basket is not included.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes’ fit model has the median rider at every height from 5′4″ to 6′3″ reaching the grips while sitting upright against the backrest; at 6′4″, 17 of 100 can. It models about 108 km at 19 km/h on the throttle (level pavement, 82 kg rider) and about 63 km at 32 km/h.
Where it fits the rules. 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. Its standover is 67.8 cm (26.7 in), the highest of the step-overs listed in our checklist above, so you lift a leg high to get on, and Addmotor fits it to riders from 5′7″ (170 cm). It weighs 49 kg and is 79 cm (31 in) wide. For the same kind of seat with a 29 cm step-in, see the Freetan M-368X.
Taubik Axis
$4,199 CADWho it is for. You want full suspension without a 57 kg trike: coil springs front and rear, a rear differential and hydraulic brakes on a 38 kg frame.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 in front, 20 in rear × 3.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ plus band, built for broken pavement, dirt roads and all-weather riding. Suspension: full (coil fork and rear coil). In our hill model its rated 500 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider.
Where it lives. Its maker prints no width, so measure the way in before you order, and no fold is listed.
Load. 150 kg (330 lb, Taubik). Plan around 150 kg, which leaves 50 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Taubik prints no rider-height range or seat height. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Taubik, which calls itself “a proudly Canadian-owned electric bike company”, lists a 48 V 500 W Sutto rear hub (80 N·m, by email to us), a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung battery (960 Wh), Zoom hydraulic discs with 180 mm rotors, a Shimano Altus 7-speed, switchable torque or cadence sensing with a thumb throttle, and up to 100 km per charge. It replaces Taubik’s Pivot.
Where it fits the rules. 500 W and 32 km/h on Taubik’s page: the numbers the provincial e-bike rules converge on.
The honest part. Its 150 kg (330 lb) rating is lower than the 200 kg trikes on this list, so heavier riders should compare it with the ONE-TRIKE and the Breezes.
Addmotor Grandtan X
$4,499 CADWho it is for. Rough roads and broken pavement: the Grandtan’s step-through and fat tires with an 80 mm fork and a rear shock.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 in front, 20 in rear × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: full (80 mm fork and rear shock). In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail’s hill table prices each climb in battery.
Where it lives. At 82 cm wide it is 1 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and no fold is listed.
Load. 127 kg rider + 36 kg cargo, the lowest of three figures Addmotor prints. A 100 kg rider can add 36 kg of cargo.
Size. 157–193 cm (5′2″–6′4″, Addmotor); step-over 44.5 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: a proper saddle height (109% of inseam) for 78 of 100 riders at 5′8″, 33 at 5′10″ and 8 at 6′0″.
What its maker lists. Addmotor Canada lists a rear motor with 90 N·m and a 1,100 W peak but no rated wattage; its US store rates the Grandtan X at 750 W. It adds mechanical discs on all three wheels with a parking brake, a Shimano Tourney 7-speed, riders from 157 to 193 cm and 64 to 137 km of range. Addmotor prints three load figures (127 kg of rider plus 36 kg of cargo, 172 kg, and up to 127 kg): plan around 127 kg for the rider.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes models about 105 km at 19 km/h on the throttle (level pavement, 82 kg rider, 25 °C), and about 82 km at 0 °C and 74 km at −10 °C. Its fit tables give nearly every rider from 5′2″ to 5′6″ a proper saddle height, 78 of 100 at 5′8″ and 33 at 5′10″.
Where it fits the rules. Addmotor’s US rating of 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on, and its Canadian page prints no rating: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. At 58 kg, 82 cm wide and 197 cm long, measure the door and the shed before you order.
Addmotor Greattan L
$5,299 one battery · $6,135 two CADWho it is for. Two adults on one trike: the rider plus a belted passenger seat behind, rated by Addmotor for a 159 kg (350 lb) rider and a 68 kg (150 lb) passenger.
Where it rides. Tires: 24 in front, 20 in rear × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: front fork. In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider.
Where it lives. At 93 cm wide it is 12 cm wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, and no fold is listed.
Load. One rider to 159 kg (350 lb) and one belted passenger to 68 kg (150 lb), by Addmotor.
Size. 164–193 cm (5′4″–6′4″, Addmotor); step-over 43.9 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: every rider surveyed from 5′4″ to 6′4″ clears its 43.9 cm standover; RedTail gives saddle settings rather than reach counts.
What its maker lists. Addmotor’s US listing rates the rear hub at 750 W (1,400 W peak, 90 N·m); its Canadian page prints no wattage. One or two 48 V 20 Ah Samsung packs give up to 105 or 209 km, with mechanical discs on three wheels, a parking brake and riders from 5′4″ to 6′4″. It ships from the U.S. in 10 to 15 business days, and Zeus pays the duties and brokerage.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes models about 100 km at 19 km/h on one battery with one 82 kg rider on the throttle, and about 79 km with two riders weighing 150 kg together (level pavement).
Where it fits the rules. Addmotor’s US rating of 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province, including its rules on carrying a passenger, before riding on public roads.
The honest part. At 70 kg and 211 cm long it needs a garage spot, not a hallway.
Addmotor Freetan M-368X
$5,999 CADWho it is for. A sore back or stiff hips, and paths that are not smooth: you step in over 29 cm (11.4 in), sit in a seat that slides and reclines from 90° to 170°, and ride on suspension at both ends and three 4-inch tires.
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 4.0 in, all three, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: full (80 mm fork and rear coil shocks). In our hill model its rated 750 W covers a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. RedTail’s hill table prices each climb in battery.
Where it lives. At 81 cm wide it matches a 32-inch (81 cm) door with no room to spare, and no fold is listed.
Load. 127 kg rider + 45 kg cargo (Addmotor). A 100 kg rider can add 45 kg of cargo.
Size. 155–200 cm (5′1″–6′7″); Addmotor also prints 5′2″–6′4″; step-over 29 cm. Measured by RedTail eBikes: every rider surveyed from 5′1″ to 6′4″ steps across its 29 cm step-in, and its seat slides and reclines.
What its maker lists. Addmotor Canada lists a rear-drive motor without a wattage, a 48 V 20 Ah Samsung battery with up to 137 km on pedal-assist level 1, front and rear suspension, mechanical disc brakes with a parking brake, and U-turns within 2 m. It rates the trike for 127 kg of rider plus 45 kg in the basket, gives about 67 kg (148 lb) with the battery and fits riders from 5′1″ to 6′7″ (155 to 200 cm); its US store adds a 750 W rating and a torque sensor.
Addmotor Canada says it is out of stock in Canada and ships from its US warehouse. Ours ships from the U.S. in 7 to 12 business days, and Zeus pays the duties and brokerage.
What the data says. RedTail eBikes models about 101 km at 19 km/h on the throttle (level pavement, 82 kg rider, 25 °C), about 61 km at its 32 km/h top speed, and about 79 km at 0 °C. Its fit section notes that Addmotor prints the height window two ways: 5′1″ to 6′7″, and 5′2″ to 6′4″.
Where it fits the rules. Addmotor’s US rating of 750 W is over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on, and its Canadian page prints no rating: check your province before riding it on public roads.
The honest part. At 67 kg, 212 cm long and 81 cm wide it does not fold, and Addmotor says its trikes have no reverse gear: it needs a ground-level spot and a door at least 81 cm wide.
Meet One Tour 2.0
$6,499 · $6,899 captain’s chair CADWho it is for. Long rides, steep grades and heavy loads in a semi-recumbent seat: two motors, one front and one rear, give it all-wheel drive, it reverses under power, and it carries 550 lb (249 kg).
Where it rides. Tires: 20 × 4.0 in, in RedTail eBikes’ fat band, built for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail. Suspension: full (dual-crown fork and dual rear shocks). In our hill model its two 750 W motors cover a 10% grade at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider. Its maker lists climbing of up to 30%.
Where it lives. Its maker prints no width, so measure the way in before you order, and no fold is listed. Meet One says its long rear frame needs a wider turning circle and suits “paths, roads, and open spaces rather than dense urban environments with very tight corners”.
Load. 249 kg (550 lb) total, with 91 kg (200 lb) on the rear frame (Meet One). Plan around 249 kg, which leaves 149 kg of cargo for a 100 kg rider.
Size. Meet One prints no rider-height range for it. Call us with your height and inseam before you order.
What its maker lists. Meet One lists two 750 W motors, front and rear, for all-wheel drive (2,400 W peak between them), 180 N·m through a torque sensor, a differential, hydraulic brakes, a dual-crown fork with dual rear shocks, a Samsung 48 V 50 Ah (2,400 Wh) battery, UL 2849 certification by SGS, a top speed of 22 to 25 mph, climbing of up to 30% and a rear frame rated for 200 lb (91 kg). Our listing adds brakes on all three wheels.
What the data says. An Edmonton rider put about 1,600 km (1,000 miles) on his in two months, by his own count: read his Tour 2.0 story.
Where it fits the rules. Two 750 W motors and a 35 to 40 km/h top speed by Meet One’s figures put it well past the 500 W and 32 km/h the provincial e-bike rules converge on: check your province and municipality before any public-road use.
The honest part. It is a special order, about six to eight weeks by our listing, and the priciest trike here.
Over $4,100: the Arisetan II for back comfort if you clear its 67.8 cm step, the Axis for light full suspension, the Grandtan X for rough lanes, the Greattan L for two adults, the Freetan M-368X for a reclining seat and a 29 cm step-in, and the Tour 2.0 for distance and grades.
Every trike here ships free across Canada, and an unused, unopened trike can be returned within 15 days of delivery (15% restocking fee). Questions: 1-866-938-7580.
Is there a good electric trike under $1,000?
Zeus does not sell an electric trike under $1,000: our lowest-priced trike is the Meigi Hera at $1,799. If you shop under $1,000 elsewhere, compare the same things these cards show, including who will handle a warranty claim in Canada.
- The rated motor wattage on the Canadian listing, not only a peak figure.
- Assistance that stops at 32 km/h.
- Brakes on at least two wheels, plus a parking brake.
- A load rating that covers you and what you carry.
- A named battery certification, such as UL 2271, or UL 2849 for the whole system.
- Who handles warranty claims and parts in Canada.
To spread the cost of a trike that meets those checks, see what e-bike financing costs a month.
Should you buy an electric trike at Costco, Walmart, Canadian Tire, Best Buy or Amazon?
You can at two of them. When we audited them, Costco.ca’s e-bike listings had no electric trike (late July 2026), nor did Walmart Canada’s indexed e-bike range (31 July and 1 August) or Canadian Tire’s 19-model shelf (August).
Best Buy Canada listed 40 trikes among 551 bike listings (14 and 15 September), many of them colour variants of one folding model from one seller, and Amazon.ca 77 among 967 (12 and 13 September).
Whichever store you buy from, compare a trike on the same points as the cards here: the rated motor on the Canadian listing, the brakes and parking brake, the load rating, the battery certification, and who you call when a part fails. Our guide to big-box e-bikes covers who fixes one when it breaks.
What buying from Zeus includes: free shipping across Canada, phone support at 1-866-938-7580, warranty claims filed with the maker for you, your first month of Zeus Care, and 15-day returns on an unused, unopened trike (15% restocking fee). Zeus is an online store, with no showroom or test rides.
Are any electric trikes made in Canada, and where do these ship from?
Not among these 18, by their makers’ own pages: none of the product pages we read on 27 October 2026 says the trike is made in Canada. Taubik, which makes the Axis, calls itself “a proudly Canadian-owned electric bike company”, and Addmotor ships its Canadian orders from a warehouse in Aurora, Ontario.
Fifteen of the 18 ship from Canada. The Greattan L (10 to 15 business days) and the Freetan M-368X (7 to 12) ship from the U.S., and Zeus pays the duties and brokerage, so nothing is added at your door; sales tax still shows at checkout. The Tour 2.0 is built to order, about six to eight weeks.
Electric trike laws in Canada: what applies to you?
In Canada, the provinces set the rules for electric trikes, and their e-bike rules converge on a motor of 500 W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h, and working pedals; Nova Scotia’s 30 km/h ended on 19 October 2026. Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021.
- Three wheels. Most provincial definitions admit three wheels. New Brunswick’s Motor Vehicle Act defines the bicycle as “having two tandem wheels”, and the Northwest Territories’ and Nunavut’s All-Terrain Vehicles Acts list “a motorized vehicle mounted on three wheels” as an all-terrain vehicle.
- Over the numbers. A trike over 500 W, or one that assists past 32 km/h, is not an e-bike under those rules: in Alberta it is a motor vehicle that needs a licence, registration and insurance, and in Saskatchewan it is a motorcycle.
- Speed settings. Some trikes ship capped with a speed setting the owner can change: Meet One’s display manual for the Breeze 2.0 describes one, Meigi’s display manual for its MG1703 (the Meigi Zeus) lists a maximum-speed setting, and Eunorau’s US page calls the ONE-TRIKE’s limit unlockable. Meigi’s page gives the Blazer up to 40 km/h with 24 km/h as the default. We did not read every pick’s manual for this, so whatever you ride, keep the setting at 32 km/h: whether a cap the owner can change meets the provincial wording is unsettled.
- Heavy trikes in Ontario. Some trikes over 55 kg may qualify for Ontario’s cargo e-bike pilot, which runs to 1 March 2031; our Ontario cargo e-bike pilot guide explains where they may ride and checks which trikes fit.
Zeus sells 500 W trikes with a factory 32 km/h limit as well as trikes over 500 W: check the rules in your province and municipality before public-road use. Helmet, age and where-to-ride rules differ by province; our e-bike laws guide for every province covers each one.
The rule of thumb: 500 W or less, assistance off at 32 km/h and working pedals is the test the provinces share. Over it, the trike is outside the e-bike rules: check what your province calls it before you ride on public roads.
Can you ride an electric trike through a Canadian winter?
Yes, with less range and more care. RedTail eBikes’ cold model for the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 drops from about 103 km at 25 °C to about 80 km at 0 °C and 72 km at −10 °C, at 16 km/h on the throttle; its Grandtan X model drops from about 105 km to 82 km and 74 km at 19 km/h.
Charge and store the battery indoors: Addmotor tells owners to charge it “indoors at room temperature”. Our Breeze 2.0 and Breeze Pro 2.0 listings say both handle hard-packed snow, and the Arisetan II’s listing video shows it pedalling through fresh snow on a wooded trail. For more, see our winter e-bike guide and the e-bike battery guide.
Frequently asked questions about electric trikes in Canada
What is the best electric tricycle for adults in Canada?
For most adults, the Addmotor Citytri E-310 ($2,399): 500 W and 32 km/h on Addmotor Canada’s page, a rear differential, a 960 Wh battery, a 35 cm step-over and a frame that folds. For the lowest price, the Meigi Hera ($1,799); for two adults, the Addmotor Greattan L ($5,299); for the gentlest start, the Velotric Triker ($4,099), whose Beginner Mode holds it to 13 km/h.
Are electric trikes good for seniors or riders with balance problems?
Yes, for many: three wheels stand on their own at a stop, so you never balance the trike while starting or stopping, and many have a low step and a seat backrest. The Citytri E-310 steps over at 35 cm, the Velotric Triker’s Beginner Mode holds it to 13 km/h, and the Freetan M-368X seats you against a backrest with a 29 cm step-in. If a health condition affects your balance, vision or reaction time, ask your doctor whether riding suits you.
Do you need a licence for an electric trike in Canada?
Not for one that meets your province’s e-bike definition: those rules converge on a 500 W motor, assistance that stops at 32 km/h and working pedals (Newfoundland and Labrador’s Act reads two ways on this). A trike over those numbers falls under the motor-vehicle rules in provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan, with a licence, registration and insurance.
Are electric trikes street legal in Canada?
A trike can be ridden on public roads where it meets the province’s e-bike test: a motor of 500 W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h and working pedals. Three wheels sit inside most provincial definitions, but New Brunswick’s Act defines the bicycle as having two tandem wheels, and the Northwest Territories and Nunavut list a motorized three-wheeler as an all-terrain vehicle.
How much does an electric trike cost in Canada?
The 18 trikes in this guide run from $1,799 (Meigi Hera) to $6,899 (Meet One Tour 2.0 with the captain’s chair). Most of the 500 W trikes sit between $2,399 and $3,499; fat tires, full suspension, two seats and dual motors push the price up. Our financing guide shows what each costs a month.
Is there a good electric trike under $1,000?
Zeus does not sell one: our lowest-priced trike is the Meigi Hera at $1,799. If you shop under $1,000 elsewhere, check the rated motor wattage on the Canadian listing, the 32 km/h assist limit, brakes and a parking brake, the load rating, a UL battery certification and who handles warranty claims in Canada.
Where can I buy an electric trike near me in Canada?
Zeus eBikes Canada sells all 18 trikes here online, with free shipping across Canada and no showroom or test rides. Each listing gives its delivery estimate: most ship from Canada, the Greattan L and Freetan M-368X ship from the U.S. (10 to 15 and 7 to 12 business days), and the Tour 2.0 is built to order (about six to eight weeks). In a remote community or the territories, call 1-866-938-7580 first. Buying used? Ask for the battery’s age, the charger and the receipt: Addmotor’s warranty, for one, covers the original owner.
Can two adults ride an electric trike?
Yes, on a trike built for it. The Addmotor Greattan L has a belted passenger seat behind the rider and is rated for a 159 kg rider plus a 68 kg passenger. The Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0’s rear frame is built to take a second-seat conversion. Check your province’s rules on carrying a passenger before you do.
Do electric trikes fold?
Several do. On this list the Citytri E-310, ONE-TRIKE 2.0, Breeze 2.0, Breeze Pro 2.0, Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike, SpytanX and Velotric Triker all fold. Folded, the Citytri Standard measures 115 × 86 × 72.9 cm and the Breeze 2.0 122 × 92 × 95 cm, and at 39 and 57 kg both are still a heavy lift.
What is the best electric recumbent trike in Canada?
Zeus sells no fully recumbent trike. Its five semi-recumbents seat you low against a backrest with the pedals ahead: the Meet One Breeze 2.0 (from $2,599), Breeze Pro 2.0 (from $3,499), Addmotor Arisetan II M-360 ($4,199), Addmotor Freetan M-368X ($5,999) and Meet One Tour 2.0 (from $6,499). The Breeze 2.0 costs the least, the Freetan steps in at 29 cm against the Arisetan II’s 67.8 cm, and the Tour 2.0 has two motors.
What is the best fat-tire electric trike?
Several trikes here run on fat tires about 10 cm (4 in) wide. Under $3,000, the Meigi Zeus Fat Tire Trike ($2,928, 20 × 4.0″); for heavier riders, the Addmotor Grandtan II ($3,399, rated for a 159 kg rider plus 45 kg of cargo); folding, the Meigi Silverado Fat Tire Folding Trike ($3,699); with full suspension, the Addmotor Grandtan X ($4,499) or Freetan M-368X ($5,999).
Which Addmotor electric trikes does Zeus sell?
Seven you can order, all in this guide: the Citytri E-310 ($2,399), Grandtan II M-340 ($3,399), SpytanX ($3,899), Arisetan II M-360 ($4,199), Grandtan X ($4,499), Greattan L ($5,299) and Freetan M-368X ($5,999). Five ship from Canada, four of them from Addmotor’s warehouse in Aurora, Ontario; the Greattan L and Freetan ship from the U.S., and Zeus pays the duties and brokerage.
Do electric trikes tip over?
They can, in a quick turn or across a slope: most trikes do not lean into a corner the way a bicycle does (the SpytanX’s two front wheels tilt, by Addmotor’s design). A trike stands on its own at a stop, which is why it suits riders who cannot balance a bicycle. A rear differential lets the two rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner; slow down before the turn, not in it.
Are any electric trikes made in Canada?
Not among these 18, by their makers’ own pages: none of the product pages we read on 27 October 2026 says the trike is made in Canada. Taubik describes itself as a Canadian-owned company, and Addmotor ships its Canadian orders from a warehouse in Aurora, Ontario.
Can you ride an electric trike in winter?
Yes, with less range. RedTail eBikes’ model for the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 drops from about 103 km at 25 °C to about 80 km at 0 °C and 72 km at −10 °C, at 16 km/h on the throttle. Our listings say the Breeze 2.0 and Breeze Pro 2.0 handle hard-packed snow, and Addmotor tells owners to charge the battery indoors at room temperature.
What is the weight limit of an electric trike?
On the 18 trikes here, from 120 kg (the Meigi Hera, on our listing) to 249 kg (the Meet One Tour 2.0, 550 lb). Read how the figure is printed: Addmotor splits it, such as 127 kg of rider plus 36 kg of cargo on the Citytri E-310, and Velotric’s manual counts the Triker itself inside its 227 kg, which leaves about 188 kg for rider and cargo. Plan around the lowest figure a maker prints.
What is the best electric trike for a heavy rider (300, 400 or 500 lb)?
At 136 kg (300 lb), twelve of the 18 are rated for you. At 181 kg (400 lb), five: the Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0, Meet One Breeze 2.0, Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0, Velotric Triker and Meet One Tour 2.0. At 227 kg (500 lb), only the Meet One Tour 2.0, rated for 249 kg in total. The load table in this guide lists what each leaves for cargo.
What is the best electric trike for a tall person?
By the makers’ windows, the Freetan M-368X (to 200 cm), Arisetan II (198 cm), Velotric Triker (196 cm), Grandtan II, Grandtan X and Greattan L (193 cm) and Breeze 2.0 (190 cm). Measured fit is stricter: in RedTail eBikes’ models fewer than half of 5′10″ riders reach a proper saddle height on the Grandtan II and Grandtan X, while the Arisetan II’s median rider reaches the grips to 6′3″. Over 6′1″, start with the semi-recumbents.
What is the best electric trike for a short person?
The Meet One Breeze 2.0 lists riders from 140 cm (4′7″), the Addmotor SpytanX from 4′9″ and the Velotric Triker from 147 cm. The SpytanX has the lowest step here, a 28.4 cm standover that every rider RedTail eBikes surveyed from 4′11″ up clears, and the Freetan M-368X steps in at 29 cm.
Can an electric trike go off-road, on sand or snow, or up steep hills?
Tires decide the ground: RedTail eBikes’ tire comparison builds fat tires for sand, snow, mud, deep gravel and loose trail, and eleven of these 18 run them. Hills are a power job: at 12 km/h with an 82 kg rider, a 39 kg trike needs about 259 to 309 W at the wheel on a 6% grade and 417 to 467 W on 10%, by the Martin model RedTail uses. The Meet One Tour 2.0, with two motors and 180 N·m, is the climber here.
Will an electric trike fit through a door, in a car or in an RV?
Published widths run from 72 cm (the Addmotor Citytri E-310 Standard) to 95 cm (the Addmotor SpytanX): six are wider than a 32-inch (81 cm) door, the Addmotor Freetan M-368X matches it, and four have no published width. Seven fold. The lightest, the Taubik Axis, weighs 38 kg, over the 23 kg NIOSH sets as safe for 75% of women and 90% of men to lift in ideal conditions, so for a car or an RV plan on a ramp, a carrier or a second person.
Should I buy an electric trike or a mobility scooter?
If you can pedal, a trike gives you exercise with a motor when you need it, and one with a low step, a backrest and a throttle, such as the Citytri E-310 or the Velotric Triker, makes that motor easy to use. If you cannot pedal at all, a mobility scooter is the better tool.
How far can an electric trike go on one charge?
It depends on battery size, speed, load, hills and cold. The makers’ own figures on this page run from 48 km (the Breeze 2.0’s low end, and the Silverado Urban on the throttle) to 209 km (the Greattan L with two batteries); RedTail eBikes’ models, on the throttle on level pavement with an 82 kg rider, give about 100 to 121 km at 16 to 19 km/h for the 960 Wh trikes it covers.
The bottom line
Choose an electric trike by your body, your storage and your province before the price. For most riders that means a 500 W delta trike with a rear differential and a parking brake, like the Citytri E-310. For comfort, pick a semi-recumbent with a step you can clear. For two adults, the Greattan L.
Call 1-866-938-7580 before you order and tell us your height, your doorway and where you will ride. We will tell you which trike fits, or that none does. An unused, unopened trike can be returned within 15 days of delivery (15% restocking fee), and financing spreads the cost.
