TriHauler Terra Dual Drive Heavy Duty Fat Tire Utility Electric Trike

The T5 has two continuous-rated 750W Bafang motors, one at the front and one at the rear, for 1,500W combined rated power. The T4 has a single 1000W rear-drive motor. Both use torque-sensing pedal assist. T5 peak output is approximately 1,026W per motor, with up to 76.2 N·m of output-shaft torque per motor.

In HJM’s loaded testing, the T5 climbed grades up to 46.6% (25°) on paved hills and loose gravel or dirt with suitable traction. No thermal protection activation or power reduction was observed. This is a test result, not a continuous-climb rating. Climb duration was not specified; hill length, traction, surface and total load affect performance.

Motor current limiting begins at 150°C; at 180°C, current is limited to 8A. Controller current limiting begins at 80°C, with power cut off at 110°C. If the trike stalls on a slope with the throttle engaged, the controller cuts current after approximately 8 seconds. Prolonged steep climbs can reduce power or interrupt output; these protections do not enable unlimited low-speed climbing.

The 40Ah option consists of two 48V 20Ah batteries, for 1,920Wh total. The single-battery option has one 48V 20Ah battery, rated at 960Wh. Both battery options are offered in Black and White. Select a battery option in the purchase area to see its current price and availability.

In HJM’s flat-road testing, a single 20Ah battery delivered approximately 22 miles (35 km) in dual-motor mode with a combined rider and cargo weight of about 220 lb (100 kg).

For frequent steep hill climbing with a 200–250 lb rider (91–113 kg), HJM estimates approximately 9–12 miles (15–20 km) in dual-motor mode with one 20Ah battery. This hill-range figure is an estimate, not a measured guarantee. Actual range varies with terrain, total load, speed, temperature and operating conditions. These figures describe different conditions from maximum-range estimates; no tested 40Ah hill-range figure is provided here.

The GEMMA GA-2000-5 system uses three hydraulic brake calipers and 160 mm front and rear rotors. Parking locks hold the trike at a stop during loading or parking; they are not downhill speed control. There is no dedicated hill-control assistance. Maintain a controlled descent speed, stay within load limits and follow the manual, especially on gravel or uneven ground.

The turn signals are integrated into the central rear taillight. In daytime observations, they were visible but less noticeable at 30° and 60° rear viewing angles, and not visible at 90° from the side. At dusk and night, they were clearly visible at all three angles. Visibility varies with conditions; do not assume a signal is visible from every direction.

A trike handles differently from a two-wheel bicycle. Practice starting, stopping and turning in a clear area, and slow down before corners. HJM observed stable handling on a 26.8% (15°) descent under its test conditions; this is not a guaranteed safe descent limit. Surface, traction and load affect handling. Three wheels do not make a trike tip-proof.

Access depends on local vehicle classification and the road or trail operator’s rules. The T5 has 1,500W combined continuous-rated motor power and an approximately 20 mph assisted speed. Speed alone does not establish e-bike classification or riding permission. Confirm the applicable requirements with the relevant local authority or trail operator before riding.

Motors and the battery are covered for 24 months or 1,500 miles; controllers and displays for 6 months or 1,500 miles, whichever comes first. The Warranty Policy governs eligibility and exclusions. Common replacement parts are generally stocked in the United States, subject to availability. A complete front wheel with an integrated motor may require a supplier special order. Confirm the exact part and lead time before ordering.

The wheels and pedals arrive installed. Secure the handlebars according to the supplied instructions and complete the pre-ride checks before riding. Setup and operation guides are available through Support.

The listed recommended rider height is 5'0" (152 cm) and above. Overall length is 75 inches and overall width is 30.7 inches. Saddle height adjusts from 35 to 42 inches; rear-wheel track is 25.6 inches, measured between tire centers. Check saddle height, handlebar reach, access width and storage space for your individual fit.

Yes. The 550 lb total payload includes the rider, cargo and added accessories. The front basket limit is 60 lb and the rear basket or rack limit is 220 lb. These limits apply within the total; they are not extra capacity. Secure the load and follow the loading instructions.

Reverse helps you back out of a parking space or reposition the trike. Cruise control maintains a steady pace on straight, level and open routes. Use both functions as directed in the owner’s manual, with room to maneuver and your hands ready to brake.
