Q&A
Frequently asked questions about electric tricycles
What types of sanitation tricycles does Trikeway offer?
We offer electric garbage collection tricycles, high-pressure washer tricycles, fog cannon water sprayer tricycles, and street sweeper tricycles. Each model is designed for specific municipal and commercial cleaning tasks.
How far can an electric sanitation tricycle travel on a single charge?
Our sanitation tricycles typically travel 40–70 km per charge, depending on battery capacity (48V or 60V), load weight, and terrain. The 500L garbage collection model achieves approximately 70 km under normal conditions.
Are these sanitation tricycles suitable for indoor use?
Yes, being fully electric, they produce zero emissions, making them ideal for indoor facilities, pedestrian zones, hospitals, and school campuses where air quality is a concern.
How do I maintain an electric sanitation tricycle?
Regular maintenance includes checking tire pressure, cleaning the cargo bin after use, inspecting brake pads monthly, and keeping the battery charged between 20%–80%. Avoid deep discharges to extend battery life.
What is the passenger capacity of your electric tricycles?
Our passenger tricycles can carry 2–8 people depending on the model. They are commonly used for short-distance transport in tourist areas, resorts, factories, and rural communities.
Do I need a license to drive an electric passenger tricycle?
Regulations vary by country. In most regions, electric tricycles with a top speed under 25 km/h and motor power under 750W do not require a driver license or vehicle registration. Always check your local laws before purchasing.
How safe are electric passenger tricycles?
They are very stable due to the three-wheel design, which reduces the risk of tipping. We also equip them with safety lighting, rearview mirrors, and optional seat belts. Our frames undergo rigorous load testing.
Can I customize the cargo bed?
Yes. We offer customization options including flatbed, enclosed box, refrigerated box, and dump bed configurations. Dimensions, color, and additional features can be tailored to your requirements.
What battery options are available?
We provide 48V, 60V and 72V lead-acid or lithium battery options. Lithium batteries are lighter and last longer but cost more upfront. Lead-acid batteries are more economical and easier to recycle.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery time depends on order quantity and destination. Standard lead time is 7–30 days after order confirmation. We ship globally via sea freight, and we assist with customs documentation.
Do you offer after-sales service and spare parts?
Yes. We provide a one-year warranty on the motor, controller, and battery. Spare parts are available for purchase, and we offer video-based technical support for troubleshooting and repairs.
Can I order a sample unit first?
Yes, we accept sample orders. You can test a single unit before placing a bulk order. Contact us for sample pricing and shipping details.
How do I become a distributor?
We welcome distributors worldwide. Please contact us with your company profile, target market, and estimated order volume. We offer competitive pricing, marketing support, and regional exclusivity for qualified partners.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept T/T (bank transfer), and Western Union. For sample orders, we also accept PayPal. A 50% deposit is required to start production, with the balance due before shipment.
