Trike Bike FLOW Comparison
Why We Replaced Our Original Cargo Tricycle with the Trike Bike FLOW
After selling and supporting our original electric cargo tricycle for nearly 20 years, we decided to move to a different manufacturer and introduce the Trike Bike FLOW.
This was not simply a cosmetic update. Our direct testing showed that the FLOW is better manufactured, rides more smoothly and has noticeably more settled and predictable steering. It also has a lower seating position for improved rider access and a more durable metal and moulded-plastic cargo compartment instead of the timber-based construction used on the previous model.
Original Cargo Tricycle vs Trike Bike FLOW
| Comparison | Original Cargo Tricycle | Trike Bike FLOW Improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing quality | A practical and functional cargo tricycle from our previous supplier. | Manufactured and finished to a higher standard, providing a more refined and confidence-inspiring product. |
| Ride quality | Capable of carrying substantial loads, but with a less refined riding feel. | Smoother and more comfortable to ride during normal everyday use. |
| Steering stability | The steering required more rider input and correction, particularly for new cargo-tricycle riders. | More settled, controlled and predictable steering similar to a bicycle, provides greater rider confidence with or without a load. |
| Rider position | Higher seating position. | Lower seating position makes mounting easier and can provide a better fit and greater confidence for shorter riders. Individual rider fit should still be confirmed before ordering. |
| Cargo-box construction | Timber-based cargo box with a woodgrain finish. | Approximately 180 litres of cargo space constructed using metal and durable moulded-plastic components. |
| Weather resistance | Timber components require greater care and protection from prolonged weather exposure. | Metal and moulded-plastic construction is better suited to repeated outdoor use and avoids the maintenance concerns associated with timber components. |
| Frame | Steel frame. | Modern 6061 aluminium frame construction. |
| Overall dimensions | Approximately 2350 × 930 × 1250 mm. | Approximately 2090 × 890 × 1200 mm — around 260 mm shorter, 40 mm narrower and 50 mm lower. |
| Handling in confined spaces | Its longer and wider dimensions require more storage and manoeuvring space. | More compact dimensions make the FLOW easier to manoeuvre, park and store. |
| Indicators and lights | Not fitted | Dual LED headlights, Indicators, tail light and brake light. |
| Motor assistance | Australian-legal 250W motor; around 40Nm of torque. | Bafang hub motor producing 60Nm of torque, providing useful assistance when starting, climbing hills or carrying cargo. |
| Battery capacity | 36V 10.4Ah battery providing 374.4Wh. | 48V 960Wh Samsung-cell battery — approximately 2.6 times the energy capacity of the previous battery. |
| Published riding range | Approx. 40 km. | Published range of approximately 65–85 km, depending on cargo weight, terrain, assistance level and riding conditions. |
| Braking system | Front and rear cable operated disc brakes. | PIOWAY hydraulic disc brakes with a parking brake for controlled braking and easier stationary loading. |
| Cargo and family use | Front box supplied with cushions, safety belts and a rain cover. | Flexible 180-litre family and cargo compartment supplied with a rain cover and designed for carrying shopping, equipment, dogs or appropriately restrained passengers. |
| Electrical safety | Australian-compliant electric assistance. | Battery system tested to UL 2271 requirements, UN 38.3 transport certification, EN 15194 compliance and a compatible certified charger. |
| Australian support | Supported by Trike Bike Australia. | Backed by our Queensland workshop, replacement parts, technical assistance and Australia-wide telephone support. |
What These Improvements Mean for the Rider
The FLOW’s greatest advantage is not one individual specification. It is the combination of better manufacturing, smoother riding, more predictable and natural steering, a lower rider position, improved braking with hydraulic disk brakes and a more durable cargo compartment.
Its more compact dimensions make it easier to manage, while the substantially larger battery and 60 Nm Bafang motor provide practical assistance for carrying children, animals, shopping or commercial loads.
The original cargo tricycle helped us establish this category in Australia, but we believe the Trike Bike FLOW represents a significant step forward. It incorporates the lessons we learned from selling, assembling and supporting the previous model and delivers a better overall ownership experience.
A More Refined Cargo Tricycle
All three-wheel cargo cycles steer differently from conventional bicycles and should initially be ridden slowly in a quiet, open area. However, compared with our previous cargo model, the FLOW provides a more settled and predictable steering feel that can help new riders become comfortable and confident more quickly.
Delivery, Shipping and Assembly
Supplied partially assembled unless workshop assembly is selected. Battery shipments may require specialist dangerous-goods handling.
Warranty, Servicing and Spare Parts
Refer to the current product-specific warranty terms; batteries, motors, electronics and wear items may have different coverage periods.
Warranty coverage does not replace routine adjustment, servicing and wear-item maintenance. Trike Bike Australia provides parts and technical support for long-term ownership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a tricycle ride like a normal bicycle?
No. It does not need balancing when stationary, but steering and cornering feel different. Practise progressively in a quiet open area.
How do I confirm the right rider fit?
Compare all listed dimensions, not height alone. Call 07 5522 0583 with the rider’s height, inside-leg measurement, flexibility, intended use and terrain.
Is the stated electric range guaranteed?
No. Range is an estimate and changes substantially with load, terrain, weather, tyre pressure, speed and assistance level.
Can Trike Bike Australia support the product after purchase?
Yes. Workshop, spare-parts and telephone support are available from the Australian tricycle specialist team.
Videos, Manuals and Riding Resources
Adult Tricycle Riding Fundamentals
Adult tricycles steer and corner differently from conventional two-wheel bicycles. This introductory guide explains mounting, starting, steering, braking and turning. The FLOW is a front-loading electric cargo tricycle and will handle differently when carrying passengers or cargo, so begin slowly in a quiet, open area and practise without a load.
Trike Bike FLOW Assembly and Operation
A dedicated FLOW assembly or operating video has not been included because a verified model-specific video is not currently available. Follow the assembly, electrical-system, passenger-carrying and operating instructions supplied with your FLOW. Contact Trike Bike Australia for model-specific assistance if required.
