What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Which is better for a senior rider?

The ESKUTE E Trike. Three wheels and a step-through frame reduce balance and mounting risk, and its parking brake helps on slopes. The Cityscape 2.0 is a two-wheeler that needs balancing at stops.

Which has more range?

The Cityscape 2.0 is rated up to 50 miles, or about 25 to 30 miles on throttle alone. ESKUTE does not publish a range for the E Trike, so treat its 48V 10.4Ah battery as roughly comparable capacity without a verified figure.

Is the Cityscape 2.0 worth $199 more?

Yes for most commuters. You get 7-speed gearing, a lockable suspension fork, 26-inch wheels, UL 2849 battery certification and three stores to buy from. The E Trike's advantage is stability, not equipment.

Which handles hills better?

The Cityscape 2.0, because its Shimano 7-speed lets you gear down. The E Trike relies on motor torque alone at a single gear ratio, which strains the motor on long climbs.

Which is easier to store and transport?

The Cityscape 2.0. At 61.7 lbs and two wheels it fits standard bike racks and doorways. A three-wheel trike is wider and awkward on car racks.

Do both have disc brakes?

Yes. The Cityscape 2.0 has dual disc brakes, and the E Trike has disc brakes plus a parking brake, which matters on a trike that can roll when parked.
