Taubik Axis Full-Suspension Electric Trike

Taubik Axis Electric Trike: Coil Suspension Front and Rear, a Rear Differential and a 960 Wh Battery

The Taubik Axis is a full-suspension electric trike from Taubik, a Canadian-owned e-bike company, and it is the trike Taubik now offers in place of its Pivot. It pairs a 48V 500W Sutto rear hub motor with a 48V 20Ah Samsung battery (960 Wh), coil suspension at the fork and at the rear, an anti-slip rear differential, and Kenda tires 3.0 inches wide: 24 inches at the front and 20 at the back. Taubik rates it for 150 kg (330 lb) and lists it at 38 kg (85 lb).

Its design brief is stability. Taubik’s flyer says the Axis “prioritizes stability, combining a fixed frame design with a shorter wheelbase and wider track for improved balance and control”, the change it made from the Pivot. The differential lets the two rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner, which Taubik says gives the trike “better stability, smoother cornering, and a more natural riding feel compared to a basic solid rear axle”, most of all at low speed and in tight turns.

Of the four upright trikes we compare below, the Axis is the lightest at 38 kg and the only one with both hydraulic disc brakes and suspension at both ends. The Addmotor Grandtan X adds 4-inch tires, a published 80 mm of fork travel and a parking brake (Taubik lists none for the Axis) for $300 more; the Eunorau ONE-TRIKE 2.0 costs $1,700 less with a front fork only and a single speed.

What Changed From the Pivot

Taubik’s own figures for both trikes, from their pages and the Axis flyer, read 19 October 2026:

• A fixed frame. Taubik’s flyer says the Axis combines “a fixed frame design with a shorter wheelbase and wider track”; the Pivot’s page describes “articulating rear suspension with gas shocks”.
• An anti-slip rear differential, a line the Pivot’s specification table doesn’t carry.
• Torque or cadence sensing, switchable from the handlebar. Taubik’s page says you can “switch between torque and cadence sensing to match your preferred riding style”; the Pivot lists a torque sensor.
• A higher load rating: 150 kg (330 lb), against the Pivot’s 300 lb.
• A published weight, 38 kg (85 lb); the Pivot’s page lists its weight as N/A.
• Carried over: a 500W Sutto rear hub (Taubik gives the Axis 80 Nm by email; the Pivot’s page printed 65 Nm), a 48V 20Ah Samsung battery, Taubik’s up-to-100 km figure, 24-inch front and 20-inch rear 3-inch tires, a Shimano Altus 7-speed and Zoom hydraulic brakes with 180 mm rotors.

Key Features

• Coil suspension at both ends (Trama Fat 34 fork, rear coil) — Taubik says it helps “absorb bumps from roads, paths, and uneven surfaces, making every ride feel more stable, controlled, and enjoyable”. Taubik doesn’t publish the travel.
• Anti-slip rear differential — the two rear wheels can turn at different speeds through a corner instead of fighting each other on a solid axle. Taubik: “It is especially helpful at lower speeds, tight turns, and everyday city riding.”
• 48V 20Ah Samsung battery, 960 Wh — Taubik’s flyer lists 21700 cells “Certified in Accordance with UL2271”, and its page says the pack is “built into the frame for a clean look”. Taubik gives up to 100 km per charge “in ideal riding conditions” and 4–6 hours to charge.
• 500W Sutto rear hub, 80 Nm — Taubik gave us the torque figure by email (it isn’t printed on its page).
• Torque or cadence sensing, switchable — Taubik’s page says you can “switch between torque and cadence sensing to match your preferred riding style”. Five assist levels and a thumb throttle; Taubik’s FAQ notes that riding on the throttle alone “will use much more battery life”. (Taubik’s page and flyer list torque and cadence; its brochure lists torque.)
• Zoom hydraulic disc brakes, 180 mm rotors — Taubik calls them “precise control and reliable stopping power in all weather conditions”. Of the four trikes compared below, two have hydraulic brakes.
• Shimano Altus 7-speed with a trigger shifter — low gears for starts and slopes, so the motor isn’t doing all the work.
• A seat with a backrest and a large rear basket — Taubik’s flyer lists a “Taubik Ultra Custom with Backrest” saddle; the basket is factory-rated at 110 lb (Taubik, by email), and Taubik’s flyer lists a rear cargo bag as an extra.
• Lights — Taubik’s page lists an integrated LED headlight and taillight; its flyer lists “Front and Rear Lights with Turn Signals”.

How It Arrives

Taubik doesn’t publish a box list, an assembly percentage or an owner’s manual for the Axis online. Its photos show the trike with its rear basket and backrest saddle. Assembly walkthroughs by phone or video are included in your first month of Zeus Care: call 1-866-938-7580 before your first ride.

The Honest Take: What to Know Before You Buy

1. The speedometer reads 0 while you coast. Taubik’s 1 June 2026 dealer notice describes it as a display issue only, with a factory fix in progress; we have had no notice of a fix since. If you like to watch your speed downhill, know this going in.
2. No published measurements. Taubik publishes no width, length, seat height or rider-height range for the Axis, and no owner’s manual online. Measure the door or shed it has to fit through and call us with your height before you order. The ONE-TRIKE 2.0 publishes a rider range (5′2″–6′1″) if that matters more.
3. A built-in battery and 38 kg. Taubik describes the pack as built into the frame and doesn’t say on its page how it comes out. Taubik’s cold-weather advice is to bring the battery indoors, so if the trike will live in an unheated space, ask us how that works before you buy.
4. It costs more than the simpler trikes. At $4,199 the Axis is $1,700 more than the ONE-TRIKE 2.0. The difference buys rear suspension, seven gears and a battery about 38% larger (960 Wh against 696).

If you want a cushioned, stable trike for paths and errands, those trade-offs are small ones.

Who Is the Taubik Axis For?

• Riders who want three wheels without a leaning frame — Taubik built the Axis around a fixed frame after the Pivot. Electric trikes in Canada →
• Seniors and riders for whom balance on two wheels is the worry — three wheels, a backrest saddle, five assist levels and a thumb throttle for starts. E-bikes and trikes for seniors →
• Errand riders — a rear basket rated at 110 lb by Taubik, inside a 150 kg total rating. Best cargo e-bikes →
• Path and gravel-shoulder riders — coil suspension front and rear on 3-inch tires.

Who it’s NOT for: riders who need a trike that folds into a car (the Meet One Breeze 2.0 folds); riders whose budget stops near $2,500 (the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 is $2,499); riders who want 4-inch tires, a published 80 mm of fork travel and a parking brake (the Grandtan X); a rider and cargo together over 150 kg (the Breeze 2.0 lists 204 kg, the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 440 lb); and anyone who needs a published seat height before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What riders ask about the Taubik Axis

What is the Taubik Axis, and does it replace the Pivot?

The Axis is Taubik’s full-suspension electric trike: a 500W Sutto rear hub, a 960 Wh Samsung battery, coil suspension front and rear and an anti-slip rear differential. Taubik’s February 2026 flyer calls the Pivot its “previous trike” and says the Axis “prioritizes stability, combining a fixed frame design with a shorter wheelbase and wider track”. Today the Axis is the only trike in Taubik’s lineup. Electric trikes in Canada →

What does the rear differential do on a trike?

It lets the two rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner, so they don’t scrub against each other as they would on a solid axle. Taubik says it gives the Axis “better stability, smoother cornering, and a more natural riding feel compared to a basic solid rear axle”, and that it “is especially helpful at lower speeds, tight turns, and everyday city riding”.

Is the Taubik Axis a full-suspension trike?

Yes. Taubik lists a Trama Fat 34 coil fork and a rear coil (“Trama Fat 34 Coil Suspension with Rear Coil”) and describes “a full front and rear suspension system”. It doesn’t publish the travel; the Grandtan X, which publishes 80 mm at the fork, is in the comparison above.

Is the Taubik Axis a good trike for seniors?

It is built for steady riding: three wheels on a fixed frame, a backrest saddle, five assist levels, a thumb throttle for starts and hydraulic disc brakes. Two things to check first: it weighs 38 kg, and Taubik publishes no seat height, so call us with your height and where it will be stored. E-bikes and trikes for seniors →

How much weight can the Taubik Axis carry?

Taubik rates the Axis for 150 kg (330 lb) in total. The rear basket is factory-rated at 110 lb (Taubik, by email to us, October 2026). For more, the Breeze 2.0 lists a 204 kg maximum and the ONE-TRIKE 2.0 440 lb.

How far does it go on a charge, and how long does charging take?

Taubik gives up to 100 km per charge “in ideal riding conditions” from the 960 Wh battery, and 4–6 hours to charge. It publishes no figure for hills or cold; its FAQ notes that throttle-only riding “will use much more battery life”. As arithmetic, 960 Wh over 100 km is 9.6 Wh per km. E-bike battery guide →

How fast does it go, and does it have a throttle?

Taubik lists a 32 km/h top speed, five pedal-assist levels and a thumb throttle, with torque or cadence sensing you can switch between.

Is the Taubik Axis street legal in Canada?

Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021. E-bike rules are provincial, and they converge on a 500W motor and 32 km/h of assisted speed. Taubik lists the Axis at 500W and 32 km/h with 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 vehicle mounted on three wheels” as an all-terrain vehicle. British Columbia and Nova Scotia also want a motor switch separate from the throttle or no help below 3 km/h; Taubik doesn’t say which the Axis has. eBike laws by province →

Can I ride the Taubik Axis in winter?

Taubik publishes no temperature range for the Axis. Taubik told us (by email, 19 October 2026) the Axis “should have no problem being ridden in temperatures down to -20°C”, as long as the battery isn’t stored in the cold: bring it indoors when the trike isn’t in use and let it warm up before charging. Taubik’s warranty excludes damage from “storage in extreme heat or cold”. Winter e-bike guide →

Will the Taubik Axis fit a shorter rider?

Taubik publishes no seat height, stand-over height or rider-height range for the Axis (we checked its page, flyer, brochure and French page on 19 October 2026). Call us with your height and inseam before you order. The ONE-TRIKE 2.0 publishes a 5′2″ to 6′1″ rider range and a 32.3″ to 38.6″ seat height.

Is the rear basket included, and what can it hold?

Taubik shows the Axis with its “large rear cargo basket”, factory-rated at 110 lb (Taubik, by email to us). Taubik’s flyer lists a rear cargo bag as an extra. Best cargo e-bikes →

What warranty comes with it?

Taubik’s published warranty covers the frame for 2 years and the electrical components (motor, battery, controller, display and wiring) for 1 year, from the original retail purchase date, for the original purchaser. It excludes wear parts such as tires, brake pads and rotors, chains, cassettes, derailleurs and shifters (unless defective at delivery), and damage from overloading, unauthorized modifications, environmental exposure or missed maintenance; labour is not covered unless Taubik approves it in writing. These are Taubik’s own published terms, backed by Taubik in full, and we handle the claim with Taubik for you. Your first month of Zeus Care is included: we diagnose the problem, file the claim with Taubik and follow it up. Zeus Care plans run $119 for 1 year, $229 for 2, $339 for 3 and $599 for 5; they are a service, not added parts coverage. Returns are 15 days from delivery on unused, unopened items, with a 15% restocking fee and return shipping paid by you. Warranty & Zeus Care →
