500 miles (800 KM) per charge … that is the claim of this product of Denmark. It’s a fully suspended e-trike with *fat tires for $6013 US (€5,340). HERE is their website. And HERE is their FAQ webpage.
*They call these fat tires, but they are only 2 inch wide tires … not hardly “fat”.
I would think it would be likely and tempting to take this trike off road, but that battery looks mighty vulnerable and it certainly is not a bash plate.
The battery provides power for motor, lights, mobile, and automatic gear shift system. The battery box is removable, shock and water-resistant.
Assisted range up to 500 miles (800 km). Designed for 37 mph (60 km/h), restricted to 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
It has a TIG welded 4130 Chrome Moly steel frame.

Mounting the battery down low under the seat certainly helps to lower the center of gravity and greatly improve the trike’s handling making it more stable. I just think it ought to have a bash plate to protect it from damage. It looks like a fun trike, but I am sure I would be working at doing something about being limited to 15.5 mph. That is ridiculous. When people ride bicycles 25 mph and faster it makes no sense to limit an e-bike/trike to such a low speed. I tell ya … idiots are in charge!
