How fast does the Viribus TG1 go?

Top speed is about 12.4 mph under motor assist. That is slower than most two-wheel e-bikes, which suits relaxed errands rather than fast commuting.

How far can it go on a charge?

Viribus claims up to 44 miles in pedal assist. Expect less in cold weather, on hills or when using the throttle heavily. A full charge takes under 4 to 6 hours.

Can it carry groceries or cargo?

The total payload is 330 lb, including the rider. That leaves room for bags and boxes, though the trike does not include a cargo box.

Does it have suspension?

Only the TG1 Pro version has suspension. The standard TG1 and TG1 Plus have rigid forks, so rough pavement is felt more.

Riders who want stability, easy mounting and cargo capacity at modest speeds. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs to carry it upstairs or keep up with traffic.

What brakes does it use?

It uses V-brakes with a parking brake. They are simple to service but need more hand effort than disc brakes on a heavy trike.

Our take on the Viribus 3 Wheel Electric Bike E-Tricycle 24'' Adult Tricycle

The Viribus TG1 is a step-through electric tricycle with a 350W rear hub motor, a 48V 360Wh battery and a claimed 44-mile pedal-assist range. It tops out around 12.4 mph, carries up to 330 lb and rides on 26-inch tires with V-brakes and a parking brake. The upright seating and three wheels suit riders who want stability and cargo room more than speed. Against two-wheel e-bikes it is heavier at about 87 lb and slower, and the carbon steel frame is basic, but the third wheel and low step-through make it easier to mount and balance for older or less confident riders.
