The VOOK E-Trike’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign has kicked off. The new electric three-wheeler comes with some exquisite performance features including an ultra-long range and decent top speed. With the opening of the Indiegogo campaign for the VOOK E-Trike, interested buyers will have to fork out $2,300 for a unit.

The VOOK e-trike has received rave reviews on the build-up to the Indiegogo campaign. Its long-range capabilities and power packed in a compact design. The e-trike is being propped as the next big thing in personal electric vehicle mobility with its robust and classic design. It has a top speed of about 64km/h and a range between 129km and 177km. The performance specs are simply outstanding for the VOOK e-trike and expectation is high for the EV.

The VOOK e-trike is equipped with a pair of electric motors at the rear. The battery options for the e-trike are 30Ah and 50Ah translating to the range of 129km and 177km, respectively. VOOK says the trike’s battery can be fully recharged in about 2.5 hours. There are four riding modes in the e-trike namely Safe, Eco, Sport, and Boost/Extreme. The top speeds achieved in the specified modes are 17km/h, 24km/h, 32km/h, and 64km/h respectively.

The VOOK e-trike’s frame is made from 6061 aluminum, while puncture-proof tires and hydraulic disc brakes help to keep the e-trike under control. The VOOK e-trike’s seat is fiberglass while the battery storage sits underneath the seat. A little space for luggage is available under the seat. The VOOK can be started through a fingerprint sensor or buyers can use the companion smartphone app. The trike has a waterproof LCD while two cameras operate to keep the user aware of the surroundings.

The VOOK e-trike omits a suspension in its design and this could make rides to be a bit more bumpier. This becomes more important with the high-speed motor available for the e-trike. The e-trike may be difficult to use for persons with a bigger body build. The price of the VOOK e-trike is $2,300 for the smaller-battery model, while the 50Ah model costs $2,500. The VOOK e-trike will ship by December if the Indiegogo campaign is a success.
