A Detailed Comparison


Key Updates

Coil Spring Suspension
50mm front fork travel absorbs bumps for an improved ride quality.
Hydroformed Frame
A stronger, stiffer chassis designed for increased stability.
Upgraded Tech
A large color display, integrated turn signals, and thicker brakes enhance safety.

Frame & Suspension Analysis

The XP Trike 2 was re-engineered based on rider feedback. The two most significant physical upgrades are a stronger, more stable hydroformed frame and a comprehensive suspension system that improves ride comfort.

Original XP Trike

Rigid Steel Fork

Transmitted all road vibrations directly to the rider.

Standard Aluminum Frame

A functional, standard design.

XP Trike 2

Cloud 50 Suspension System

50mm front fork travel and included suspension seat post absorb bumps.

Hydroformed Frame

A stronger, stiffer chassis with a lower center of gravity for improved stability.

Powertrain and Range Comparison

The XP Trike 2 maintains the original's power output but has a slightly smaller battery capacity to accommodate the frame and suspension upgrades at the same price point.

Core Powertrain Comparison

Peak power and torque remain identical between the two 500W models.

Battery Capacity

The Trike 2's smaller battery is a trade-off for its upgrades, resulting in a 10-mile reduction in maximum claimed range.

Technology & Safety Upgrades

The XP Trike 2 platform enhances safety with a more powerful braking system and integrated turn signals, while the new digital display modernizes the user experience.

Key Tech Upgrades

  • Integrated Turn Signals

    Adds integrated rear turn signals to the existing brake light for enhanced communication on the road.

  • 3.5" Color TFT Display

    A bright, detachable screen with a USB-C port and intuitive menus.

  • Beginner Preset Mode

    Limits speed and acceleration for a safer, less intimidating learning curve.

Brake Rotor Thickness

Thicker rotors dissipate heat more effectively, reducing brake fade and ensuring consistent stopping power.
