Power Source
The primary power source for electric tricycles is a rechargeable battery, typically lithium-ion, which stores electrical energy. In the case of solar-powered tricycles, solar panels are integrated into the design to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery.
Electric Motor
The electric motor is the heart of the tricycle's propulsion system. When the rider accelerates, the motor draws power from the battery to drive the wheels. Electric motors are highly efficient and provide instant torque, ensuring smooth and responsive acceleration.
Renerative Braking
Our electric tricycles are equipped with regenerative braking systems. When the rider applies the brakes, the motor switches to generator mode, converting kinetic energy back into electrical energy and storing it in the battery. This process helps extend the range of the tricycle and improves overall efficiency.
Controller
The controller acts as the brain of the electric tricycle. It regulates the flow of electricity from the battery to the motor based on the rider's input from the throttle. The controller ensures that the motor receives the right amount of power to achieve the desired speed and performance.
Charging
Charging the battery is straightforward. For solar-powered tricycles, the solar panels continuously charge the battery during daylight hours. Additionally, the battery can be charged using a standard electrical outlet. Charging times vary depending on the battery capacity and the charging method used.
