How eTrikes Compare to Golf Carts and eBikes
You or your business needs the perfect electric vehicle solution. Neither eBikes nor golf carts are the right solutions for you, though—eBikes don’t offer enough flexibility, and golf carts are too much. Isn’t there something in between?
Yes! You’ve found the perfect solution in eTrikeCo.
These convenient trikes have been used around the rest of the world for cargo and passenger needs for years, but as an electric option, they’re a relatively new concept here in the States. The eTrike model is based on the designs of tuk-tuks and rickshaws like those that have been used in India, Asia, Africa, Central and South America for generations.
The eTrike is not only convenient, but it’s also practical, safe, and fun! Passenger and Cargo are opportunities not typically found with eBikes. Cost and size are what sets our trikes apart from golf carts. Plus, with eTrikeCo’s innovative technology, it’s good for the environment as well as an efficient investment for your or your business.
When riding an eTrike, you generally follow the same rules as when riding an eBike. Most are approved for use on bike trails and paths, bike lanes, and residential streets up to 30mph. (Make sure to check local jurisdictions for the rules and regulations.)
