Sixthreezero Introduces Tadpole Electric Trike

Of the many new developments of the e-bike world, electric trikes are one of the newest and fastest growing segments, and some of thebest available electric tricycles availableare barely a year old. E-bike maker sixthreezero has entered the market with several models, but their newest is a fresh take on what three-wheeled e-mobility can be.

The Two Front Wheel Electric Bike (they call it an electric bike rather than trike) takes a different approach to three-wheeled e-mobility by positioning the paired wheels in front, rather than in back. This also features a folding design to ease both storage and transportation.

What makes the Two Front Wheel Electric Bike so unusual is that it does lean, like an e-bike, which may be why they refer to it as an electric bike. This provides two benefits to the rider. First, it’s much less likely to lift a wheel in a turn if it leans while turning and, second, having two wheels will help stabilize any rider who may suffer from any equilibrium or balance issues. Balance-wise, it sits between a regular trike and a bike.

The Two Front Wheel Electric Bike features three mechanical disc brakes, one on each of the 16-in. wheels. It uses 160mm rotors and thanks to the presence of three brakes, it has terrific stopping power.

It is equipped with a 750W brushless, geared hub motor that is limited to 16 mph to keep it stable in turns. It offers a reverse function so that the rider doesn’t need to dismount in tight quarters. According to sixthreezero the 499Wh battery should give riders up to 50 mi. of range per charge. There are 5 PAS levels as well as a thumb throttle.

This is a terrific design for people with limited range of motion as it has one of the lowest overall standover heights at roughly 11 in.

The e-trike comes with a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, front and rear lights, a rear rack and kickstand. The seat is larger than we typically see on an e-bike and includes a backrest for additional support for the rider.

Right now it’s only available for preorder, but will begin shipping in mid-February, and it has a great introductory price.
