People with limited mobility or those looking for a more stable ride can find new freedom by slipping into the comfortable seat of an electric tricycle. Startup Meet One Trike launched a foldable electric tricycle called Tour in October, a dual-motor model.
We’ve recently covered a number of pedal-assist tricycles, including models from Addmotor, Lectric, and Hase Bikes. Like Meet One’s recent Breeze e-trike, a single motor increases pedal performance to help you glide down hills or carry a basket of groceries home.
The new Tour e-trike doubles the motor power and “gives everyone the freedom to take control of the wheel” – with a particular focus on senior riders, those with balance issues or those who struggle with regular two-wheelers. I’m leaving it there.

A 750W motor is mounted between the rear and front wheel hubs. Combined, they deliver a maximum power output of 2,400 watts and a whopping 180 Nm (132.7 lb-ft) of torque. Top speed is reported to be 25 mph (40 km/h), and the crank has a “high-precision” torque sensor for a “smooth and natural riding experience.”
The e-trike can operate with a single motor if a full grunt is not required and has two dual drive modes in addition to cruise control, throttle only and reverse. A Shimano 7-speed gearset is also included for even more flexibility.
The bottom of the 6061 aluminum frame houses dual UL 2271 safety certified 48 V/15 Ah Samsung batteries with a capacity of 1,440 Wh and a range of up to 130 miles (209 km) per charge. is.

Riders are treated to an oversized padded seat with backrest support. It has a complete squish setup consisting of a suspension fork and dual shocks to absorb uneven terrain. The rear cargo rack is rated to hold up to 150 lbs (68 kg) of essentials, and the electric trike has a maximum playload capacity of 550 lbs (249.5 kg) including rider.
Each 20-inch wheel is wrapped with 4-inch all-terrain fat tires for grippy pavement and fun off-road adventures. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic disc brakes on each wheel with 180 mm rotors and also has a parking brake. It is also equipped with a transmission, which makes turning easier and provides stable handling.
Rounding out the key specs, the e-trike features LED headlights, plus two brake rear lights with turn signals, full fenders, lined baskets, rear view mirrors and locks.
The Meet One Tour e-trike has a list price of $3,599, but is currently listed with a $300 discount. Optional additions include an extra battery and a Bluetooth tracker.
If that’s too much for your blood, the startup’s single-motor, dual-battery Breeze model is currently priced at $1,299.
