TK Pro Electric Trike

The Mooncool TK Pro Electric Trike is an upgraded version of the popular Mooncool TK1 Folding Electric Trike, designed to offer enhanced power, range, and features for adult riders seeking a stable, comfortable, and versatile electric tricycle. It aims to provide a reliable and enjoyable riding experience, especially for those who prioritize stability, easy mounting, and cargo capacity.

Key Features

• Robust Motor: The TK Pro is powered by a 48V 750W rear-drive hub motor, which can peak at 1500W and deliver significant torque (up to 84Nm). This provides ample power for climbing hills, navigating various terrains, and ensuring smooth acceleration, even when carrying a full load.
• Extended Range Battery: It features a 48V 20Ah (960Wh) removable lithium-ion battery. This larger battery offers an impressive claimed range of 45 to 75 miles on a single charge, depending on factors like terrain, rider weight, and pedal-assist level. Charging time is typically around 7 hours.
• Foldable Design: Despite its robust build, the TK Pro maintains a foldable frame (6061 Aluminum + Hiten Steel). This allows for easier storage and transport, making it more convenient for those with limited space or who wish to transport it in a car. Its folded dimensions are approximately 39.9″(L) x 29.9″(W) x 30.7″(H).
• Enhanced Stability and Safety:
  • Three-Wheel Design with Rear Differential: Provides superior stability compared to two-wheeled bikes, making it ideal for riders with balance concerns or mobility issues. The rear differential mechanism ensures stable turns and integrated throttle function.
  • Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Equipped with StarUnion hydraulic disc brakes (180mm rotors) with an electrical cut-off function, offering strong and reliable stopping power.
  • Integrated Lighting and Turn Signals: Includes a bright LED headlight with horn, and rear LED taillights with brake highlight function and turn signals for enhanced visibility and safety, especially in urban environments.
  • Parking Brake: For secure stopping and loading.
• Comfort-Focused Riding:
  • Low Step-Through Frame: At just 12.2 inches from the ground, the frame makes mounting and dismounting effortless for riders of all ages and abilities.
  • Comfortable Seat with Backrest: Features a large, comfortable vacuum-foamed saddle, often with an integrated backrest, for a relaxed and supportive riding posture.
  • Front Suspension Fork: A suspension fork with coil spring structure and mechanical lockout absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces, contributing to a smoother ride.
  • Fat Tires: 20″ x 3.0″ CST tires (often with 60TPI) provide a comfortable ride and good traction on various surfaces.
• Practical Utility:
  • Large Cargo Capacity: Comes standard with spacious front and rear metal cargo baskets, perfect for groceries, gear, or personal items. Total payload capacity is up to 450 lbs (205 kg).
  • 6-Speed Shimano Drivetrain: While some reviewers suggest more gears, the 6-speed Shimano shifter and derailleur offer adequate gearing for various urban and light trail conditions.
  • Intelligent LCD Display: A bright, color LCD display provides real-time information on speed, distance, battery level, and pedal assist mode, even visible in sunlight.
  • Upgraded Torque Sensor: Offers a more natural and responsive pedal-assist experience compared to basic cadence sensors.
  • Half-Twist Throttle: Provides immediate power on demand.
