In recent times, electric scooters and other battery-powered two-wheelers have become popular in urban areas, especially cities where there is dense commuter traffic. However, they offer no form of protection against the elements making them unsuitable for use on rainy or snowy days. To solve this, there has been a proliferation of e-mopeds with their own canopies. Chinese manufacturer Tailing Electric Vehicle has just announced one.

The Tailing Q5 Electric Tricycle is actually a battery-powered three-wheeler designed for children. The tricycle adopts a compact design and can be deployed for door-to-door commutes or just as a plaything for kids within the hood. As such, the scooter doesn’t require a standard driver’s license but it can be registered.

The electric tricycle is indeed eye-catching and cool. It adopts a pair of panda lens headlights at the front. However, the biggest highlight of the new electric tricycle is that it comes with windshield sunshades that protect the user from sun or rain. Since it comes installed from the factory, you won’t have issues with law enforcement agents.

The driving mode of the vehicle is the same as that of ordinary electric vehicles. The accelerator handle controls the acceleration of the vehicle, and the brake pedal is on the right foot. The vehicle also has an LCD instrument panel, which can display information such as battery power and speed in kilometers per hour.

The e-tricycle is equipped with 110 large drum brakes at the front and 130 drum brakes at the rear. In addition, the vehicle has an ARS one-button repair function.

In terms of power, it is equipped with a 500W sine wave motor and Tailing’s cloud intelligent controller, which can prevent slipping. The battery specification is 72V 20AH, and the battery life is about 70 kilometers when fully charged.

There is no word yet on the pricing and availability but we expect this to be a China-exclusive product.
