Is the MotoTec Electric Trike street legal?

The listing does not state registration or licensing status. Its 26 MPH top speed exceeds the limits for many jurisdictions' unregistered low-speed vehicles, so check local rules before riding on public roads.

How far can it go on one charge?

MotoTec rates range at 30+ miles per charge, and notes it depends on rider and cargo weight. Heavier loads and the top speed setting will shorten it.

What kind of batteries does it use?

Five 12V 20Ah sealed lead-acid batteries, wired for 60V and 38Ah total. They are rated for over 300 full charges and recharge in 4 to 8 hours.

Can it carry a passenger and cargo at the same time?

The trike is rated for a 242 lb rider and 528 lbs of cargo on the rear rack. The listing does not give a separate passenger rating, so treat the rack as cargo space.

Does it come assembled?

Only if you choose the assembly option, which has it assembled, tested and strapped to a pallet ready to ride, adding 1 to 5 days before shipping. Otherwise it ships in a carton and needs assembly.

How does it handle hills?

The 2500W motor and differential gearbox drive the rear wheels, which helps with loads. The listing gives no torque or grade rating, so steep hills are unproven.
