Which Electric Trikes Are Built to Carry a Passenger?

Manufacturer, retailer and public-agency sources · 2026-10-23 · no ratings, no road tests

Summary

Of the trikes compared here, only MaxFoot's MF-33 is sold for passengers. MaxFoot advertises a rear passenger seat, rear seat belts and a 500 lb total load capacity, but its passenger-count wording varies. Emojo's Caddy Pro, MaxFoot's own MF-30 and 3SCORE's folding trikes are one-rider machines with baskets or racks, and Lampago and Kairos have three wheels but no pedals in their specifications.

MF-33 source check — October 23, 2026: The passenger wording, load limit and running-gear figures below were checked against MaxFoot's product page. Other models retain the September 24 baseline; they were not rechecked in this update.

What MaxFoot says about the MF-33's passengers

MaxFoot's title says "For 2 Adults," while the passenger-seat section says it "can theoretically support 2 additional adults" and the icon indicates up to three people including the rider. Confirm the intended passenger arrangement with MaxFoot before choosing it. The specification table does not give a rear-seat width; the 27-inch figure appears in a customer review, so we do not treat it as a manufacturer specification.

The page lists a 750W rear geared motor with 85 Nm, a 48V 20Ah battery, 180mm disc brakes with one at the front and two at the rear, and a rear differential. Charging is listed as 9 to 10 hours. It gives a 220 lb gross weight, without a separate net-weight figure. The 500 lb load limit is shared: a 180 lb rider leaves 320 lb for passengers and cargo together; that calculation does not establish whether two adults fit the seat.

One-rider trikes for errands

Emojo's Caddy Pro tops out at 20 mph, uses hydraulic disc brakes and a 4-inch-wide tire on a 20-inch rear and 24-inch front wheel, and measures 74 inches long and 31 wide with an 18-inch stand-over height. Its spec table lists "UL 2849" certification and a badge on the page reads "UL2271/UL2849 Certified." The page names two different motors, a Bafang in the spec table and "a 500W Emojo brushless motor" in the FAQ.

MaxFoot's MF-30 has the same 18-inch stand-over and is 3 inches wider than the Caddy Pro at 34 inches. MaxFoot's collection page says the MF-30 and MF-33 both have a parking brake, although neither product page lists one.

3SCORE mounts a 750W geared hub in the front wheel and says the power reaching the ground stays under 750W for regulatory compliance. Its optional second battery sits under the rear basket, weighs 12.8 lb and takes up to 5.5 hours to charge. The page gives no folded size.

Ollie's store lists Leo parts, not the trike

Ollie's store lists 12 products and no Leo trike. What remains for Leo owners is a "Battery 14ah for Ollie Cutback and Leo," a Leo charger and a saddle, and the support page keeps a combined "Cutback & Leo" owner's guide.

Three wheels, no pedals

Lampago's Ivory White model lists a 1000W motor, a 25 km/h top speed, a 60V/24Ah battery, a 196 kg carrying capacity and 10-inch wheels. Its specifications mention no pedals, and the "Buy Now" link leads to a retailer's collection named "lampago-moped."

Kairos is a French prototype. Its page describes it as "Ni voiture. Ni moto. Ni scooter." (neither car, motorcycle nor scooter), a leaning three-wheeler with a semi-reclined seat. The project page lists concept, patents and a rolling demonstrator as complete and says it is looking for industrial partners and investors. It gives no price.
