Electric Rickshaw from sixthreezero | This E-BIKE Will Change Your Family's Life!!

There are a lot of ways to bring kids along on a bike ride. You’ve probably seen the usual setups: a child seat mounted behind the rider, a longtail cargo bike with a bench seat, or a trailer that keeps the kids a few feet behind you. All of those can work—but they also come with tradeoffs. Some feel wobbly when the bike is loaded. Some make it harder to talk to your kids. Some require you to balance the bike while you’re loading passengers, which can feel stressful in real life—especially when you’re doing it every day.

That’s exactly why the sixthreezero Electric Rickshaw exists.

This isn’t a “bike with a passenger seat attached.” It’s a purpose-built, three-wheel passenger e-bike designed for real families—school runs, park rides, neighborhood cruising, beach days, and those spur-of-the-moment “can we go for a ride?” moments when the kids are already halfway to the driveway.

In the raw video footage behind this article, you can feel what the product is really about. It starts with the simple stuff: kids climbing on, buckling up, laughing, asking where you’re going, wanting to take the “secret passage,” and not wanting to get off when the ride is over. That’s the heart of it—a family experience that feels easy.

But the Rickshaw is more than a fun ride. It’s a practical electric tricycle that’s engineered to carry passengers safely, handle meaningful weight, climb real hills with assist, and remain stable and comfortable for the rider. And because it’s built with everyday storage in mind—closer in footprint to a standard trike than the huge commercial rickshaws you see in big cities—it’s realistic for home use.

The simplest way to explain the Rickshaw is this:

It lets you bring passengers without the balancing stress.

When you’re carrying kids on a traditional two-wheel bike, you’re always managing the load in motion and at a stop. If you brake suddenly, the bike shifts. If a child squirms, the bike shifts. If you put a foot down awkwardly at a light, the bike can lean, and you feel that moment of “don’t tip, don’t tip.”

With a passenger trike like this, the experience changes. You don’t have to balance the bike while loading and unloading. You can stop without that tense foot-down maneuver. You can move slowly and steadily without wobbling. And your passengers aren’t perched on a narrow rack—they’re seated on a dedicated bench, with a backrest and a seat belt option.

That’s why a parent can casually get three kids seated, checking comfort, buckling them in, and then just…going. No drama. No “hold still while I balance this.” No stress.

For a lot of families, that alone is the difference between “we do this sometimes” and “we actually use it.”

The sixthreezero Electric Rickshaw is a three-wheel electric passenger tricycle built around three priorities:

1. Passenger safety and simplicity (bench seat, seat belt, stable platform, easy step-up)
2. Rider comfort and control (upright ergonomics, easy steering, predictable handling)
3. Real-world power and range (a motor and battery sized for meaningful loads)

It’s designed to carry:

• Up to three children, depending on their age/size
• Or up to two adults (small to average-sized adults comfortably; mixed adult/child combinations also work well)

And importantly, it’s designed so passengers are part of the ride—not an afterthought. You’re not towing them behind you where you can’t hear them. They’re close enough to talk to, check on, and keep engaged.

That “connected” feeling shows up repeatedly in the footage: the kids are right there—chatting, laughing, asking questions—while the rider stays comfortable and in control.

A big theme across the transcript is safety—specifically, why a rickshaw-style passenger bench can feel more secure than other common kid-carrying approaches.

1) A dedicated passenger seat with a backrest

Instead of a child seat clipped to a rack or a pad on a longtail, passengers sit on a bench designed for them to stay seated naturally. The backrest helps keep them supported without constant reminders to “sit back” or “hold on.”

2) Seat belt included

A standard seat belt is included to secure passengers. For many families, this is the difference between “this feels risky” and “this feels manageable.” You can strap in multiple kids or two adults, depending on how you configure seating.

3) Optional three-point harness upgrade

For younger children—especially toddlers—many parents want more than a lap belt. The video includes a full walkthrough of installing a three-point harness (purchased separately, commonly found online). This is one of those practical upgrades that parents appreciate because it adapts the Rickshaw to different ages and comfort levels.

4) Three wheels = no balancing while loading

One of the most overlooked safety advantages isn’t even about riding—it’s about loading. With a stable trike, kids can climb on and get situated without the rider struggling to keep the bike upright. That reduces the “chaos moment” that can happen when you’re trying to load children onto a two-wheel bike.

5) Fat tires and a lower rear end for stability

The Rickshaw uses fat tires and a wheel-size configuration intended to improve stability under load. Wider tires mean more rubber on the road, which contributes to grip and confidence. The rear setup sits lower than the front, lowering the center of gravity where the passenger load is—helping the trike feel planted.

Specs matter—but what matters more is what they mean in real use. Here’s how I break it down in practical terms.

Motor: 750W front hub motor

The Rickshaw uses a 750-watt front hub motor, which is common in passenger trikes for a few reasons:

• It provides a strong pull for getting moving from a stop, even with passengers.
• It keeps the drivetrain simple.
• If the motor ever needs service, it’s generally easier to swap a front hub motor wheel assembly than a mid-drive system.

The system is capable of delivering power beyond its nominal rating when operating under load, which is standard behavior for motors designed to provide higher peak output when needed.

Battery: 48V 21Ah (Samsung cells)

This is a large-capacity battery, specifically chosen because passenger loads drain batteries faster than solo riding. A high-capacity battery is what makes a passenger trike practical; otherwise, the range becomes frustratingly short.

Range: “Up to 50–60 miles” (with real-world variability)

Range is best understood as a variable rather than a fixed number, influenced by factors such as rider and passenger load, terrain, throttle usage, pedal assist level, and overall riding style.

Realistically:

• On flat ground with moderate assist and a reasonable load, you can cover a meaningful distance.
• With heavier loads and steep hills, you’ll drain the battery faster.
• Even then, the design goal is that you can ride without constantly thinking about the battery.

Speed: up to ~20 mph (throttle), but recommended slower with kids

The Rickshaw can reach higher speeds, but the transcript is careful about not recommending fast riding with little ones. The point isn’t speed—it’s safe, stable family transport.

Gearing: 7-speed drivetrain

This matters more than many people think. Even on an e-trike, gears help:

• Start more smoothly on inclines
• Pedal comfortably at different speeds
• Assist the motor on steep hills
• Reduce strain if you ever want to ride with minimal assist

Brakes: disc brakes on all three wheels

Passenger trikes need reliable braking. The Rickshaw includes disc brakes on each wheel, which helps with controlled stopping under load—especially when carrying adults.

The stated 500-pound capacity should be viewed as a guideline rather than an absolute figure, as real-world performance is influenced by terrain, riding conditions, and user expectations.

Here’s the practical takeaway:

• On flat ground, the trike can carry a significant combined weight and still feel manageable.
• On steep hills, heavy passenger loads require more pedal assist—and speed will naturally drop.
• The rider should always consider the combination of rider weight + passenger weight + any cargo.

The platform has been demonstrated across a range of real-world riding scenarios:

• Three children on the back (family ride scenario)
• One adult passenger with a roughly 330 lb combined load
• Two adult passengers with a combined load of nearly 490 lbs
• Two full-grown adults are riding as passengers while another rider drives

These demos are valuable because they move the Rickshaw from “spec sheet claims” to “here’s what it does.”

A lot of passenger trikes focus so heavily on the passenger space that the rider ends up in an awkward posture. That doesn’t work if you’re the one pedaling and steering the entire system.

The Rickshaw is designed around an upright ergonomic riding position, which means:

• Your back stays upright (less lower-back strain)
• Your arms are relaxed (less shoulder tension)
• The handlebars come toward you rather than forcing a forward lean
• The step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting easier

It also includes comfort details like:

• An oversized rider seat
• Adjustable fit points (seat height, handlebar position, etc.)
• A suspension seat post (helpful on a trike that can carry weight)
• A suspension fork with lockout—so you can choose a cushier ride or a firmer feel

That lockout feature is especially practical: if you want comfort for bumpy paths, you leave it open; if you want a slightly firmer ride feel for smooth pavement, you lock it out.

One feature that immediately stands out for many families is the available storage.

A passenger trike isn’t just about sitting people. It’s about carrying the stuff that comes with people—helmets, backpacks, pool gear, snacks, the charger, and all the “just in case” items.

Under-seat storage basket (production model)

The production version includes a latching storage compartment under the passenger area—useful for:

• Charger
• Tools
• Small bags
• Kids’ essentials

Front basket (on some demos)

A front basket gives quick access to a phone, keys, or small items.

Cell phone holder

Simple, but practical—especially if you’re using navigation, tracking rides, or filming.

Canopy option (discussed as a future/related component in other products)

While the Rickshaw portion focuses more on passenger and storage, the ecosystem is clearly designed to support family use in different conditions.

Some of the most revealing feedback comes not from spec sheets or test data, but from how children respond in real use.

From the moment the ride begins, the experience feels different from traditional kid-carrying setups. Helmets are on, seat belts are fastened, and the usual pre-ride chatter gives way to anticipation. Once moving, the focus shifts entirely to the ride itself—where it’s going, what comes next, and the simple enjoyment of being part of the journey.

What starts as transportation quickly turns into a small adventure.

That distinction matters. A family e-bike only becomes part of daily life if children genuinely enjoy riding it. When kids feel secure, comfortable, and included, they’re more likely to ask to ride again rather than resist it.

The Rickshaw’s passenger bench plays a key role in this. Instead of feeling like an add-on or an afterthought, the seating area gives children a defined space of their own. With a proper bench, back support, and belt options, passengers feel settled and confident—more like active participants in the ride than cargo being carried along.

That sense of ownership and comfort transforms short trips into experiences children look forward to, not just tolerate.

A particularly compelling aspect of the design is its ability to carry adult passengers while maintaining stability, power, and control—something that goes well beyond the demands of transporting children.

Two adult passengers + rider (near 490 lbs total)

In the demo, the Rickshaw:

• Launches using throttle
• Maintains stability and steering control
• Climbs an incline (slower, but steady)
• Benefits from pedal assist and gearing when needed

The key takeaway isn’t that it flies up hills at full speed. It’s that it does the job in a predictable, controlled way—without drama. That’s what you want from a passenger platform.

The riding experience is built around two primary operating modes, each designed to address different real-world riding situations.

Throttle

The thumb throttle works like a “gas pedal.” It’s especially helpful:

• Starting from a stop with passengers
• Getting rolling smoothly
• Managing slow cruising without constant pedaling

Pedal assist (levels 1–5)

Pedal assist reduces the work you need to do while still allowing you to pedal for:

• Longer range
• More control on hills
• A more “bike-like” feel

In real use, most riders naturally do a mix:

• Throttle for starts and quick bursts
• Pedal assist for cruising
• Higher assist on hills or heavy loads

This is one of the reasons the Rickshaw feels approachable: you’re not forced to “be strong” to use it. The bike meets you where you are.

This is one of the most common practical questions people ask about trikes.

The Rickshaw is sized to operate comfortably within standard bike lanes and can also navigate typical sidewalks when ridden responsibly and with awareness of surrounding obstacles.

A trike requires a slightly different approach than a two-wheel bike:

• You need a little more awareness of width
• You need a smoother line choice
• You don’t thread tight gaps as casually as a bicycle

But in normal neighborhood riding, it’s manageable—especially once you’ve ridden it a few times and understand your turning behavior.

If you’ve never ridden a trike, this part matters.

A bike leans into turns. A trike does not. That changes how it feels, especially at low speed.

Clear riding guidance helps set expectations and allows new riders to adapt quickly to the handling characteristics of a tricycle platform.

• Keep the wheel straight and deliberate while riding.
• Use your handlebars more intentionally than you would on a bicycle.
• Start slower, build confidence, and you’ll quickly adapt.

Most riders experience a short learning curve, and then it becomes second nature.

A standout portion of the transcript is the full harness installation walkthrough. Here’s the reader-friendly version of what that process looks like conceptually.

Why install a 3-point harness?

For toddlers and younger children, a lap belt may not feel like enough. A three-point harness:

• Keeps the upper body more secure
• Reduces leaning and slouching
• Helps parents feel confident during turns and stops

What you need

• A three-point harness kit (commonly available online)
• Basic tools (screwdriver/Allen keys, depending on the seat hardware)
• A few minutes of patience

Installation overview

1. Remove the back cushion by unscrewing the fasteners.
2. Route the center strap (between-the-legs strap) through the seat base area.
3. Route the shoulder straps through the appropriate points behind the backrest.
4. Wrap and secure straps around the frame structure so they anchor properly.
5. Adjust tension so it’s snug but comfortable.
6. Reinstall the cushion and confirm all screws are tight.
7. Tug-test all straps to confirm security before riding.

Placement options

Some owners place the harness:

• In the middle seat position for the youngest child
• On one side
• On both sides if installing two harnesses

Helmets are still strongly recommended for all passengers, regardless of whether seat belts or harnesses are used.

When you zoom out, this isn’t just a “fun ride.” It’s a solution for a long list of real family routines.

School drop-offs and pickups

You can bring kids without the car-seat routine, and they’re seated securely and close enough to communicate.

Park rides and neighborhood cruising

Kids treat it like an adventure. Parents treat it like a calm, controlled ride.

Beach rides and community transportation

Designed for confidence and ease, the platform delivers effortless cruising, controlled steering, and stable stops without balance-related concerns.

Family outings without the “trailer distance”

Many families try bike trailers and discover the main drawback: the kids are far behind you, and communication becomes yelling. With a rickshaw seat, the kids are right there.

A passenger trike is different from a bike. Here’s what a thoughtful buyer should consider.

It’s heavier than a standard e-bike

That’s normal for passenger trikes. The benefit is stability and capacity; the tradeoff is weight.

Hills require realistic expectations

It can climb hills with a load, but speed will drop on steep grades—especially near max capacity. Pedal assist and gearing matter.

Turning is different

You don’t lean into corners the same way. Start cautiously, learn your lines, and you’ll be fine.

You’ll want to think about your passengers

• Toddlers may benefit from a 3-point harness
• Kids should wear helmets
• Adults should buckle in and keep their feet on the foot platform

Storage matters

If you plan on carrying backpacks, gear, or supplies, the under-seat storage is a big advantage.

Important ownership assurances are in place to address common buyer questions around risk, support, and long-term use:

• 30-day test ride policy: If it isn’t the right fit, return it within the window.
• 1-year warranty: Coverage designed to give peace of mind on a larger purchase.
• Test ride availability (for local buyers): A chance to try before committing.
• Community support: A rider group where owners share setups, tips, and modifications.
• App for tracking rides: Useful for motivation and engagement, especially for riders using it frequently.

Those support elements matter because a passenger e-trike isn’t an impulse purchase. Most families want confidence that they’re choosing the right platform—and that help exists if they have questions.

Can you fit three kids on the back?

Yes, the rear seating area can accommodate up to three children, depending on their age, size, and overall seating configuration.

Can it carry adults?

Yes. The design supports carrying adult passengers, with capacity sufficient for two adults in addition to the rider, operating near the upper range of the platform’s total load rating.

Is it easy to start from a stop with passengers?

Yes—this is one of the reasons throttle is so helpful. It reduces the strain of getting a loaded trike rolling.

Do you have to pedal?

No. You can use throttle. But pedaling with assist helps range and hill performance.

Can it go on trails?

Light trails, packed paths, and mixed surfaces are realistic thanks to fat tires and stable geometry. It’s not built for aggressive off-road riding, but it can handle typical recreational terrain.

Is it practical for home storage?

That’s a major design goal: it’s more compact than commercial rickshaws and closer to a standard trike footprint, making garage storage realistic for many families.

The best products don’t just perform well. They remove friction from daily life.

The sixthreezero Electric Rickshaw removes a specific set of frictions that families feel all the time:

• The stress of balancing a bike while loading kids
• The worry that a child could slip or shift on a rear rack seat
• The disconnect of towing kids in a trailer, where you can’t talk easily
• The hassle of short car trips that shouldn’t feel like a production

And it replaces those frictions with something better:

• A stable platform you can stop and start confidently
• A dedicated passenger seat with belt options
• Power that handles real weight and real terrain
• A family ride experience that your kids actually look forward to

If you’re looking for a way to bring your children along safely—or even take another adult with you for a cruise—the Rickshaw is one of the most practical, purpose-built options available.

Because in the end, it’s not just about the bike.

It’s about what the bike enables: more rides, less stress, and better family moments.

Don’t forget: it’s your journey, your experience—enjoy the ride.
