Classification of Electric Tricycles

Electric tricycles can be divided into brushed electric tricycles and brushless electric tricycles according to the type of electric motor used. Electric tricycles can be classified into elderly commuting electric tricycles based on their sales and usage in the market, such as the "minibus" electric tricycle; Passenger electric tricycle; Freight electric tricycles, such as garbage transport electric tricycles.

Electric tricycles are divided into various models according to their use, including household, freight, and factory models. Due to different purposes, the technical standards used are also different Most household electric tricycles use side wheel motors and an external frame (with the frame outside the wheels). This structure of the vehicle does not have a large axle and has a light load capacity of about 200KG. The motor is usually 350-500W, and the battery is a 12V20AH battery. It is suitable for use as a household and elderly commuting tool. There are also vehicles with a central motor and a large axle (also known as a rear axle or beam, which connects the two rear wheels of a tricycle and is an important component of the tricycle). These vehicles have good stability, and the central motor drives both rear wheels at the same time, resulting in a smooth start. However, these tricycles are generally more expensive.
Freight electric tricycles are also divided into two types. One is the motorcycle type, which is similar in configuration and style to three wheeled motorcycles. It is equipped with a central motor with a large shaft, a motor of 500W or more, and a cargo capacity of generally 300-600KG. It is equipped with a reversing switch and a speed control system. The fastest speed on the road is around 35 kilometers per hour. One type is the motorized tricycle type, which is often modified from motorized tricycles. The rear axle and chassis are completely equipped with motorized tricycles, with a load capacity of over one ton. It can be adjusted by a gearbox, equipped with 4-5 120AH high-capacity batteries, DC motors of 900W or more, with or without a cab, and can also be equipped with hydraulic lifting devices. It is used for loading and unloading bulk materials in factories and for clearing garbage in cities.
Factory type electric tricycles are generally used in harsh environments, requiring durable motors and batteries that can adapt to environments such as dust, high temperatures, and rough roads. They also have high requirements for frame materials and welding processes. The thickness of the frame pipes is above 2.5mm, and the diameter of the rear axle is above 78mm. Plasma shielded welding is used for welding, with high welding density, high tensile strength of the welds, and not easy to break. Can adapt to the requirements of the factory operating environment. Factory electric tricycles are commonly used in brick factories, such as brick pulling carts, electric flatbed carts, and electric lifting water transport carts; Electric kiln loading and unloading vehicles used in brick factories, kiln factories, refractory factories, ceramic factories, roasting factories, etc; Electric transport vehicles, electric dump trucks, and electric sanitation cleaning vehicles used in engineering, tunnels, and environmental sanitation. Electric transport vehicles and electric dump trucks are also used in flour mills, mineral processing plants, chemical plants, furnace material plants, breeding farms, wholesale departments, urban and rural households, rental and other short distance transportation.
