The Tricruiser is equipped with a 450-watt DC Earth magnet motor an SLA-type 36-volt rechargeable battery, making it far cleaner than gas-powered scooters and hybrid cars. The high-capacity battery also offers a range of 30 to 35 miles per charge, so you can make it back and forth to the grocery store several times without running low on power. And once you're on the road, the Tricruiser boasts a top speed of 15 miles per hour (contingent on the rider weight)--plenty fast enough for most side streets. Is the market too far to walk but close enough that a car feels wasteful? Turn to the Tricruiser, which comes with a high-capacity rear basket that can hold everything from groceries to tools to children's toys.

The Tricruiser is powered by both the electric motor and good old-fashioned foot power, with an easy-to-use "twist-and-go" throttle helping propel you forward. The trike is also extremely comfortable thanks to the extra-wide comfort saddle. Other features include a patented Currie Electro-Drive system with speed-specific gearing, heavy-duty alloy 24-inch rims with full fenders, and adjustable cruiser handlebars with dual-density grips.
