Best electric trikes for adults

Top pick: Velotric Triker — the most complete adult trike here. It's built for real utility and commuting, fits riders from about 4'10" to 6'5", and comes from a brand with a dealer network, so service and parts are easier than with no-name imports.

Who the others suit:

• TriHauler Terra — heavy-duty fat-tire hauler with dual 750W motors; pick it if you carry loads or ride rough ground.
• TK Pro / TK2 Folding — the TK Pro has the longest range; the TK2 folds for storage and transport.
• Boca Rev 2 — folding and compact, good for apartment dwellers.
• FT1 Fat Tire — 400 lb capacity and fat tires at the low end of the price range.
• Alaskan Etrike — 500 lb payload, best for big riders or cargo.
• Lynx T-Rike iQ — premium hub-drive with the longest range and torque; the splurge.
• NARRAK Trike 500 — simple, light-duty errand trike.
• Elecby T300 — budget option, but weaker ratings and shipping added.

Check step-through height and battery removal if you'll store it indoors.
