What Is an Electric Tricycle? Everything You Need to Know

🔍 What Is a Tricycle?

A tricycle is a vehicle with three wheels, typically one in front and two in the rear. In today’s market, electric tricycles are powered by rechargeable batteries and electric motors, offering a quiet, low-maintenance alternative to fuel-powered models.
