Adult tricycles solve for stability — three wheels mean no balance required, useful for older adults, riders with mobility limitations, and heavy-cargo applications. Electric trikes (e-trikes) now dominate the market because the added motor weight is irrelevant when stability is already provided by the third wheel.
One spec matters more than the others: differential rear axle. A differential lets the back wheels spin independently in turns, the way a car does. Without one, the trike skids in corners and is genuinely dangerous on hills. Cheaper trikes ($300–$500 range) often skip the differential — verify before buying.
Other considerations: cargo basket capacity (most trike use cases involve carrying groceries or supplies), electric motor adds 30–60 lb to overall weight, folding designs sacrifice rigidity for storage.
