Best Three-Wheelers and Trikes with Electric Powertrains: 2025 Edition

[@Trelnet]

The Aptera and the Carver! If I could, I would buy one of each, now. There should DEFINITELY be more of these on the roads, especially in cities, urban areas, island communities.....etc

[@alwynwatkins1955]

I’ve been in the car business for 30 years, and the Twike concept really interested me. So I went to visit them. This 5th gen. Is really cool. I only saw the raw chasdis, but i did go with the owner Mr. Moesheid, for a ride in the 2 gen. These guys are doing something different and cool.

[@snakeeyes5638]

Mike Vetter is awesome! Personal friend of mine. The guy made himself a Countach kit car when he was a teen. That's saying something.

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

I love the Morgan.

[@AnsgarJohn]

Twike is great!

[@trevorbrown8663]

I like the last one

[@jacquelynnacopoulos1278]

Hello, Wow, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏 I am impressed

[@jonathantaylor1998]

For me, it'd be the Carver S+ all day long...! Fantastic piece of engineering and, at 50mph top speed, considerably more traffic-friendly than other current 'quadracycle'-based commuter EVs.

[@mddk83]

Unfortunately they filled for bankruptcy

[@tivvy-xf4kz]

I liked the Carver as well but the problem with all of these is the price. The Dacia Spring isn't far off the price of these so they don't seem good value. I'm sure the Carver is Chinese so hopefully as Carver have now gone they may bring them in at a much lower price??

[@automotiveterritory]

Yes, I'm with you on this one!

I owned one of the first Twike 3 for more than 10 years, until I moved to Thailand.

[@UtukushiDAE2007]

Twike is the best of all!

[@automotiveterritory]

Nice choice!

[@sixstring1950]

where can you buy one ?

[@paulb1951]

Looking at these have to say Sir Clive Sinclair was decades ahead of his time 😂

[@phils4634]

He was. The C5 was very well researched, and completely undeserving of the negative press. As a short haul commuter machine it was ideal, and let down by the fairly mediocre performance of the Hoover - supplied electric drive system. I know people who have still got their pair of C5's, now with LiPo batteries and decent brushless motors, and they work exceptionally well.

[@trevorbrown8663]

And number 1

[@geoffschulz]

Your information on the Aptera is way out of date. They are now using a single Tesla motor in the front, and pricing was set a long time ago.

[@StevenBathurst]

We need cheaper and high quality vehicles that most people to afford.

[@Zoco101]

Very true. Why pay many thousands of dollars for a vehicle with a low speed and a short range? Bicycles do that! Let's hope that some reasonable options emerge. Sadly, my favourites always go bankrupt.

[@psylinx]

The first Aptera are only gonna have one motor. George Davis

[@cherubimcherubim9515]

Should have models with removable roof

[@houseagent111]

New Launched my butt. No one knows anything about it. Probably one of Hondas futuristic dream machines.

[@Sezstu]

Sorry to hear that Arcimoto is failing but I'm not surprised. I live in Oregon, where it's made, and it rains a lot here. An open vehicle doesn't work here. We need something that is enclosed and well heated. They thought a tiny rooflet was enough protection from the elements. Shear stupidity.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the Hopper could seriously do with conventional steerable front wheels but driven by the single rear wheel, just like traditional RWD cars . . . 13.0 in. ultra lightweight alloy wheels shod with 145/50 R13 low rolling resistance radial tyres . . . 10.0 in. alloy wheels at the rear & 175/40 R10 radial tyres surprisingly the Hopper isn't equipped with the tilt-turn function, a must have for 3-wheelers . . . a 16.9 kWh e-Power® battery pack which should be good for 116 kms - 138 kms . . .

[@davidlee50]

Avvenire Spiritus Leggera needs to sell a front end and frame and let the buyer install whatever he or she wants.

[@trevorbrown8663]

And the 4th one

[@Ima-hoot]

0.42 drag coefficient ( Morgan XP-1) is terrible !!

[@buzzofftoxicblog791]

❤😊Love three wheels make sense in terms of engineering quarter of the car gone simplicity lightness less components less to go wrong increased aerodynamics better traction off-road articulation ... We just need more of them. I'm also keen on a two-wheel gyro cars maybe even better 😀🥰 less is more #

[@virtualmonk2072]

I love the concept but they seem to save weight on things I highly rate,roofs or doors ❤.aptera looks good but they are always a year or two away😊

Next would launch Electric : Vehicle or EU .Such short sbbriviation stand launch Electric !

[@trevorbrown8663]

Maybe

[@Tore_Lund]

Twike got it right: one front wheel and two in the rear. A reverse trike with two front wheels handles poorly.

[@trevorbrown8663]

And 2

[@soundnutz]

Cool ,but I'm only interested in what will be sold in America that is road legal , these are likely luxury toys or golf club b , vacation trips toys😅

[@gljames24]

So the Aptera?

[@Mike-hr6jz]

You said limitless fun you’re misleading. They definitely have limits on how far they’ll go like all electric vehicles and then of course there’s that it can explode into flames. If you leave it plugged in too long to charge this is like back in the day General Motors tried to sell us on the Vega or Ford Pinto look how cheap this thing will run will be trapped in the burning wreckage. If you get in an accident and your Vegas you’ll be lucky if it goes 20,000 miles before it blows up do videos to tell the truth these vehicles are very cool looking , but until they come up with a good hybrid system, or you use a little bitty Honda generator to continuously power it I get tired of these companies, selling us their experiments knowing they were gonna have to buy another one in a couple of years. Has this thing will be junk

[@ziggarillo]

ABSOLUTE NONSENSE 😂

[@ourv9603]

The US gov is allowing a new 3 wheeler? They banned 3 wheeled ATVs because there was so many tip over accidents and so many people were getting injured. WHY they still allow 3 wheel mobility scooters is beyond me. I guess they think slow means safe. Ask anyone you see on a 3 wheel mobility scooter to show you their bruises. !

[@popeyegordon]

You demonstrate that you are clueless about these designs and their use. Fat tired off road ATVs were being driven by under aged kids who break their necks. That has nothing to do with road use for daily driving. You don't understand what a mobility scooter is either, they are extremely popular in the US with aged people and in the EU you can buy fully enclosed tiny mobility scooters with a very low top speed. I live among these seniors here in Florida and they can barely get up to 5 mph on their scooters, crashes are virtually unheard of. They are so small and low powered that they are allowed in all stores in the US. Slow does literally mean safe. For 7 years I only had the solar/pedal powered Organic Transit ELF for transportation. It is shown in my avatar image. Then I bought the Arcimoto and boy is it very safe and very fun! 3 years of daily use and I still feel very safe with the double harness and hardened crash cage. No owner has ever been injured in one and these top out at 85 mph.

[@danstenis660]

A BYD Seagull is way better in everyway than all of these EVs.

[@automotiveterritory]

How are these comparable to a Chinese supermini?

[@danstenis660]

@@automotiveterritory They are comparable when the BYD Seagull is excluded from the list of comparison, such as the 100% Chinese EV tariff. Otherwise, no one would even look at them.

@@gmv0553 It's the 19th of August here in Aus, keep in touch for a few months and we'll watch events transpire together. So far, it looks like that slow-moving PI.2 is another broken deadline. Watch 'Our Drivetrain | Aptera's Third Wheel Podcast' for the deadline being announced by Steve Fambro, then tell me I am wrong about that?

none of these will go mass market coz its not practical at all

How many units do these need to sell to qualify for the 'mass market' status?
