More and more electric trikes have been hitting the market and I think it is time to highlight some of these new light electric vehicles.

This guide will focus on upright electric trikes.  Here is a guide to recumbent electric trikes and there are some heavy duty cargo trikes in this guide.

First off, let’s checkout some of the new high tech “tilting” electric trikes.  Yes, you can lean them into corners!

Tilting E-Trikes

Butchers & Bicycles MK1 Electric Trike

The name is a bit weird but it is a result of the company being based in the meat packing district in Copenhagen.

This tilting electric cargo trike with a mid drive e-bike system is pretty high tech!  Checkout this video to get an idea of what the MK1 is like:

Here is a link to their website and Facebook page for more info.  No word on price yet and it looks like it may be a little while until they are in the US.

Kaylad-e Electric Trike

This is a tilting electric trike with a mid drive, similar to the Butchers & Bicycles MK1.

Right now the Kaylad-e is a concept e-trike and it is unknown as to whether it will become a production e-trike.
