Hello! If you're like many of our wonderful customers – perhaps a little older, with a lifetime of stories etched into every smile – you know that staying active and independent doesn't have to fade with the years.
At VoltBike, we've poured our hearts into creating something special: the Adult Electric Trike we call the VoltBike Trio. This charming 3-Wheeler, or eTrike as we affectionately dub it, is more than just a ride. It's a ticket to breezy days exploring your neighbourhood, picking up fresh produce from the market, or simply feeling the wind in your hair again. And with our latest Trio V2, we've made it even better for those longer, lazier days.
Picture this: no more wobbly two-wheel worries or the humdrum confines of a mobility scooter. The Trio lets you pedal at your own pace – or let the gentle electric nudge do the work – while three sturdy wheels keep everything steady as a rock.
Our customers, mostly folks over 65, tell us it's like having a trusty old friend who never tires. Let's chat about why this Electric Trike might just become your new favorite way to roam.
Why the Trio eTrike Feels Like a Hug from an Old Pal
We've designed the Trio with you in mind – easy, reliable, and oh-so-comfortable. No fancy tech talk here; just simple joys that make every outing a delight.
- Rock-Solid Stability for Peace of Mind: That third wheel? It's a game-changer. Unlike a regular bike that can tip on uneven paths, the Trio's clever rear setup lets the back wheels move independently, making turns smooth and safe. Whether you're navigating a bumpy sidewalk or a quiet trail, you'll feel secure – no white-knuckled grips needed. One of our riders, Wila (who loves her Blue Trio!), shared, "It's so stable, I zip to the grocery store and back without a second thought. Independence like this? Priceless."
- Effortless Power for Longer Escapes: The original Trio packs a peppy battery good for 80-100 km on a single charge – enough for a full day's adventures without plugging in mid-story. Our upgraded Trio V2 takes it further with a redesigned frame that's sleeker and stronger, plus two batteries combining for a whopping 35 amp-hours. That means 140+ km of worry-free wandering! Imagine pedaling to visit grandkids or a sunny park, with the soft electric assist kicking in just when your legs say "enough for now."
- Choose Your stride with Tire Options: Want a gentle roll through town? Opt for the 2-inch city tires for that cushy, pavement-hugging feel. Or go for the standard 3-inch Kenda Havoc semi-fat tires – they're like little all-terrain buddies, gripping gravel or light trails with ease. Both keep things quiet and smooth, but the bigger tires will be more cushy.
- Comfort That Cuddles: Slip on through the low step-frame (just 16 inches high), adjust the seat to your perfect perch (32-40 inches), and you're off. The cushy suspension fork soaks up bumps like a feather bed, and the upright seat lets you chat with neighbours without hunching. Plus, a handy parking brake holds steady while you load up that rear rack with bags – perfect for farmers' market hauls.
And let's not forget the little luxuries: a colourful display that shows your speed and battery life at a glance (with a USB port to charge your phone), bright lights that flicker on automatically, and brakes that stop on a dime. It's all wrapped in a lightweight aluminum frame that weighs just 84 pounds – easy enough to maneuver in your garage.
A Healthier, Happier Alternative to the Same-Old Scooter
If you've eyed those mobility scooters, we get it – they're handy for short jaunts. But the Trio? It's a breath of fresh air (literally!). As we shared in our story on why the Trio shines brighter, this Electric Trike encourages a bit of gentle pedaling to keep your heart happy and legs strong, without the isolation of a seated-only ride. Customers rave about the fun factor: "The Trio has been an absolute game-changer! I can go anywhere in town and not worry about getting stuck," says one rider. Another adds, "It lets me go further and do more than I ever could with a scooter."
Think about it: scooters hug sidewalks and flat paths, but the Trio's fat tires and stable build invite you to explore parks, light trails, or even a quick hill. It's cheaper to "fuel" (just pennies per charge), greener for our shared planet, and oh-so-much more engaging. No license needed, just pure, joyful motion that boosts your spirits and steps.
Hear from Folks Just Like You
Our Trio family is full of heartwarming tales. Glen, after decades off the bike, toured local spots with a grin: "The staff's helpfulness made all the difference." Sharon's husband rides daily: "He loves it – smooth and steady." And Barb? "It's easy to use, and the trike design gives me confidence I haven't felt in years." With over 113 glowing reviews for the original (84% five-stars), it's clear: this 3-Wheeler brings back the thrill of being out and about.
The Trio V2 is fresh on the scene, but early whispers? Riders adore the extra battery for those "just one more stop" moments.
