Passenger electric trikes are a strong option for riders who want more stability, comfort, and everyday usefulness—especially when the goal is bringing someone along. Whether you’re cruising with a partner, giving rides to family, or replacing short car trips, a passenger-ready e-trike can add a lot of flexibility without the balance demands of a two-wheeler.
Unlike standard e-bikes (and most single-rider e-trikes), these models are designed around the extra weight and safety needs of a second rider. That usually means a true rear bench or passenger platform, higher payload ratings, and features that make loading/unloading feel controlled and secure. They’re not built for high-speed carving or long-distance touring, but for neighborhood rides, city paths, and local errands, they can be a surprisingly practical solution.
Our team tested and reviewed several passenger-capable electric trikes currently available. Not all of them made the cut, but the two below stood out for their passenger comfort, stable handling, and real-world usability.
Let’s take a closer look at our best electric passenger trikes for 2026.
Addmotor Greattan L Passenger eTrike
The Addmotor Greattan L is a heavy-duty electric trike that leans fully into its role as a real two-passenger hauler, with the stability, capacity, and range to back it up.
Built around a wide rear bench seat and a 500 lb payload rating, the Greattan L is designed to move two adults comfortably and confidently. Its 750W motor and optional dual-battery setup make it especially well-suited to local errands, recreational rides, and heavier loads where stability matters.
Best For: Riders who want maximum passenger comfort, high load capacity, and strong real-world range for utility trips and relaxed cruising.
SCORE
- Wide, supportive rear bench seat with footrests for passenger comfort
- 500 lb total weight capacity supports two adults plus cargo
- Dual-battery option targets 50–80 miles of real-world range
- Double-shoulder suspension and fat tires improve ride stability
- Integrated parking brake adds confidence during stops and loading
- Over 150 lbs—difficult to transport without a ramp
- Mechanical disc brakes are adequate but feel light for the load
- No rearview mirrors included (aftermarket mirrors recommended)
It comes in two primary configurations, starting at $3,899 with a single 48V 20Ah battery. The dual-battery option ($4,500) adds a second 48V 20Ah pack to extend range for longer rides and more frequent throttle use.
The standout here is the rear passenger setup. With a wide bench seat (23.43″ x 13.78″), integrated footrests, and a 500 lb total payload rating, the Greattan L feels purpose-built rather than “adapted.” The step-over height (17.4 inches) is reasonably accessible, though slightly higher than some alternatives.
Power comes from a 48V 750W brushless motor paired with either single or dual 48V 20Ah Samsung batteries. In real-world riding—especially with a passenger or heavier loads—the dual-battery setup is best viewed as a 50–80 mile machine, even if the headline marketing range is higher.
On the road, we were most impressed by overall stability and the comfort gains from the suspension fork and fat tires. It rides confidently over uneven pavement and mixed surfaces, though assembly takes a bit more patience than lighter trikes.
| Battery Size | Dual 48V 20Ah Samsung Cells |
|---|---|
| Measured Distance Range | Up to ~130 miles (55–75 miles mixed) |
| Weight Limit | 500 lbs |
| Top Speed | 20 mph (default) |
| Motor Output | 48V 750W brushless hub motor |
| Brakes | Mechanical disc brakes |
| Weight | ~150+ lbs |
While the Greattan L stands out as a capable passenger electric trike, its heavy-duty design comes with clear trade-offs. At over 150 lbs, it’s not easy to transport without a ramp, and the use of mechanical disc brakes feels slightly underpowered for the total weight and load capacity.
That said, if your priority is carrying two adults comfortably with strong stability, generous payload capacity, and dependable real-world range, the Greattan L remains one of the most practical two-passenger electric trikes currently available.
Meet One Pair Passenger Electric Trike
The Meet One Pair is designed for riders who want a stable, low-stress way to carry another full-size adult, offering real passenger comfort and confidence without feeling improvised or top-heavy.
Built around a reinforced rear passenger seat with a proper backrest, the Meet One Pair is designed to carry another full-size adult with real stability. A 750W rear hub motor, hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels, and an optional expanded battery setup make it a practical two-person trike for errands, local commuting, and shared recreational rides.
Best For: Riders who want a stable, low-stress way to carry another adult—without sacrificing real power, braking confidence, or usable range.
SCORE
- Reinforced rear passenger seat with a proper backrest (adult-ready)
- 550 lb combined max load; rear seat rated for ~1 adult (~300 lbs)
- Hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels for confident stops under load
- 750W rear hub motor delivers smooth, controlled takeoffs with a passenger
- 18×4″ fat tires and wide stance improve stability and ride comfort
- Range scales well with battery setup (about 40–100 miles depending on configuration)
- Large and heavy—not designed for lifting, folding, or easy transport
- Assembly is straightforward but takes longer due to size (plan ~1 hour)
- No seat belt on the rear passenger seat
- Like most fat-tire trikes, it struggles in deep loose sand
A low step-through frame and wide three-wheel stance make the Meet One Pair easy to mount and reassuringly stable, even with another adult onboard. The rear passenger bench sits low and includes a proper backrest, helping the trike feel balanced rather than top-heavy.
A 750W rear hub motor delivers smooth, controlled power that suits two-up riding well. Acceleration is predictable, and pedal assist ramps naturally without the abrupt surges that can feel unsettling on passenger trikes.
Range varies by battery configuration. With a single battery, the Pair is best viewed as a local errand and neighborhood ride machine, while expanded dual-battery setups allow for much longer outings depending on speed and passenger weight.
Hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels provide consistent stopping power under load. Braking remains straight and composed with a passenger onboard, which adds confidence when riding in traffic or on longer downhill sections.
| Motor | 750W rear hub motor |
|---|---|
| Top Speed | 22 mph |
| Measured Distance Range | 40–100 miles (battery setup dependent) |
| Battery Options | 48V 20Ah + optional dual-battery expansions |
| Weight Limit | 550 lbs (combined) |
| Rear Seat Capacity | 1 adult (~300 lbs) |
| Frame | Step-through alloy frame |
| Tires | 18×4″ fat tires |
| Brakes | Hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels |
| Riding Modes | Pedal assist + throttle |

SixThreeZero EVRYjourney Electric Rickshaw Trike
Don’t let the long name fool you—this is a family-focused electric trike designed around passenger space and everyday practicality.
With a wide rear bench designed for two adults (or three children) and a strong 750W motor, the EVRYjourney Rickshaw focuses on family-friendly passenger carrying. A large 48V 21Ah battery, upgraded hydraulic braking, and built-in safety features make it a practical option for local trips where comfort and control matter.
Best For: Families and riders who want an easygoing passenger trike with strong braking, useful built-in features, and stable handling under load.
SCORE
- Rear bench fits two adults or three children; wide platform improves passenger stability
- Large 48V 21Ah battery supports up to ~50 miles depending on load and terrain
- 750W motor maintains usable performance even when fully loaded
- Upgraded hydraulic disc brakes (all three wheels) improve stopping confidence
- Built-in storage, seatbelt, lights, parking brake, and LCD display add utility
- Over 150 lbs—transport is difficult without a ramp or extra help
- Assembly takes time due to size and number of parts
The EVRYjourney Rickshaw features a rear bench large enough for two adults or three children, making it one of the more capable passenger layouts we’ve tested. It works well for school runs, park trips, neighborhood cruising, and short errands where you want to bring someone along without balancing a two-wheeler.
It’s powered by a 750W front hub Bafang motor and a 48V 21Ah battery, delivering a top speed of 20 mph and up to about 50 miles of real-world range depending on load, terrain, and throttle use. The trike remains stable at speed for a passenger model, though—as with most trikes—you’ll want to slow down in turns, especially with passengers onboard.
Comfort and utility are strong points here. The rear seat is upholstered and includes a seatbelt, while the wide diamond-plate foot platform helps passengers feel secure. Up front, the suspension seatpost and fork take the edge off bumps, and the fat tires help smooth smaller road imperfections.
A notable 2025 upgrade is the addition of hydraulic disc brakes across all three wheels, which improves braking control when riding faster or carrying heavier loads. There’s also storage under the rear bench, plus a simple LCD display with key ride data and a USB port for charging.
At roughly 158 lbs, it’s not easy to move around when you’re not riding, and assembly can be time-consuming—but for riders who want a passenger trike that can realistically replace short car trips, it delivers.
| Battery Size | 48V 21Ah lithium-ion battery |
|---|---|
| Measured Distance Range | Up to ~50 miles (load and terrain dependent) |
| Weight Limit | ~500 lbs |
| Top Speed | 20 mph |
| Motor Output | 750W front hub Bafang motor |
| Brakes | Hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear) |
| Weight | ~158 lbs |
The EVRYjourney Rickshaw is built around passenger space and family-friendly utility, but that focus also adds size and weight. At roughly 158 lbs, it’s not something most riders will want to move frequently when not riding, and assembly takes more time than lighter trikes.
Still, for riders who want a passenger electric trike that prioritizes seating space, braking confidence, and built-in utility features over compactness, the Rickshaw delivers a balanced and well-thought-out solution for short trips and neighborhood riding.
Bottom Line: Your Minivan Might Just Have Three Wheels
If you’re looking for a smarter, more joyful way to move people—not just yourself—passenger electric trikes are absolutely worth a test ride. Whether it’s grocery runs, park hangs, or cruising the neighborhood with your favorite copilots, these three-wheelers prove that getting there can be half the fun.
Both the Addmotor Greattan L and the SixThreeZero Rickshaw offer rock-solid performance, comfort, and versatility—but more importantly, they offer freedom. Freedom from traffic. Freedom from gas stations. Freedom from hauling kids in and out of car seats. And let’s be honest: there’s just something really satisfying about waving at cars while you roll by with your crew, wind in your hair, and not a single tailpipe in sight.
