MaxFoot MF-30 Electric Tricycle vs Velotric Triker Electric Tricycle

The Velotric Triker is the better all-round pick for most shoppers. It folds for SUV and apartment storage, has integrated turn signals, a 500 lb load rating, a torque-or-cadence sensor choice and a beginner mode capped at 8 mph. The MaxFoot MF-30 is the stronger choice for heavier riders and rough ground: a 750W Bafang geared hub motor with 85 Nm, a front suspension fork, 24-inch front wheel and a waterproof 48L basket bag. Owners of the Triker call it smooth, powerful and easy to pedal, and praise its build; the MF-30 carries a 4.8 rating from 840 ratings, with riders citing stability and comfort.

• Choose the MaxFoot MF-30 if you ride unpaved paths, want front suspension and a bigger front wheel, or need the higher-torque Bafang motor and a waterproof cargo bag.
• Choose the Velotric Triker if you must fold the trike for a car or small apartment, want turn signals and a beginner mode, or need a higher load rating and a wider height range.
