Utility Trikes

Utility Trikes
Delivery, Farm, Taxis, Custom, ZEV has a model for ever task
These are just some examples of the kind of trike solutions ZEV can provide for you. 

ZEV offers special chassis work trikes - or electric vehicles built to your specifications for your particular work mission. We offer a wide variety of three wheeled work trike. These chassis are available to carry up to 2 tons in the largest versions. 

Why use a trike compared to a UTV, NEV, ATV, golf cart, or utility vehicle, or a far more expensive 4 wheel vehicle--Consider that ZEV trikes offer:

Only ZEV utility trikes have the ability to be driven on the road legally in all states as opposed to UTV, ATV, golf carts, and other utility vehicles. Generally, with few state exceptions, these other vehicles may not be driven on the road. ZEV's have the ability to be driven as a licensed motorcycle in all states, or with a car license in many states.  In many states, if the speed and or power is restricted, they can operate as a moped.  On a state specific basis, this can allow driving with no license, no insurance, no tags, or no registration.  

ZEV's have far more reliability and greater speed and range than a golf cart, at a lower cost. Speeds up to 3 times that of many golf carts. Range up to 3 times as much as a golf cart. More load carrying ability than a golf cart or a UTV vehicle with 4 X 8 ft beds and loads to 1600 lbs in the standard models and to 2 tons in truck models. Less cost and maintenance than a 4 wheel vehicle, and never needs a front end alignment.  Compared to brands like Deere, GEM, Polaris, they are radically less expensive.

Available in box truck rear cargo containment, flat beds, dump beds

PERSONAL VEHICLE / TAXI

We offer a broad range of vehicles all based around a small 3 person, 3 wheel trike chassis. The power, speed, range, and load carrying are tailored to the customer specifications.  

Compared to a Golf Cart or a NEV, the ZEV is a minimum of 30% faster, and less expensive, while being able to carry radically larger loads.

Power can be as great as 32 kw with battery capacity to 7.68 kwh in lead battery, and far more in lithium. Options include larger battery packs, more power, bigger brakes, more load carrying ability, ability to tow a trailer, serial hybrid booster generators, quick change battery packs, dual rear wheels, heavy load chassis.

There are two chassis versions of the taxi. The larger T3-3 taxi is the strongest (built on the truck chassis) and can provide the greatest range of power, speed, range options, with seating for 5.

         RANGE EXTENDER SERIAL HYBRID OPTIONS

ZEV can also fit range extender generators to many vehicles turning them into a series Hybrid.  Using the highly efficient electric motor drive, the range extender charges the battery as the vehicle is driven.  The vehicles start out as pure electric and can run as much as 200 miles on pure battery, before the range extender is engaged.  Range then depends on the size of the gas tank with 4-12 liters being the usual.  Using the range extender, vehicle weight can be reduced by using less than the maximum size battery while still having high range.  In our large trucks, which use battery capacity at a high rate when loaded, the 8 hp/6000 watt range extender will maintain the battery levels.

 Due to the nature of all of these vehicles, please contact ZEV sales to discuss you particular needs.
