The EVRYjourney Cargo E-Trike: A Full Specs and Measurements Walkthrough

A Family Cargo E-Trike, Built to Carry Your People

I have spent 20 years around bikes and e-bikes, and every so often a product lands in our showroom that changes the way I think about what a bike is for. The all-new EVRYjourney Cargo e-trike is one of those. This is not a two-wheeler with a child seat clamped on as an afterthought. It is a three-wheeled machine designed from the frame up to carry people and cargo, with a big open box up front where your kids, your gear, or both ride along right in front of you.

The layout is the whole point, so let me describe it before we get into numbers. Two wheels sit up front, one on each side of the box, and a single wheel carries the back. You sit behind the box and steer, and your passengers ride ahead of you rather than behind you. That one decision changes everything about the experience. You can see your kids the entire ride. You can talk to them without shouting over your shoulder, hand back a snack, and react the second someone needs you. On a trike where the passengers ride behind the rider, communication is basically a guessing game. Here they are part of the ride, and for younger kids especially that makes the whole thing feel calmer.

The reason I keep coming back to the front-box layout is that it flips the usual compromise of hauling kids on a bike. On a standard two-wheeler, a rear child seat puts the weight up high and behind you, so the bike feels tippy and your kid is out of sight the whole ride. Here the passengers sit low and forward, inside a rigid box, on a platform that already has three wheels holding it up. Nobody has to balance, nobody is perched over a rear wheel, and you never have that moment at a stop light where you are holding the whole loaded bike upright with your legs. You sit there, flat-footed, and wait for the light like it is nothing.

It also suits a wider range of riders than people expect. Parents are the obvious fit, but I have watched grandparents use a trike like this to bring the grandkids to the park, and I have seen folks who stopped riding two-wheelers years ago get back out on the road because a three-wheeler simply feels safe. When the balance problem disappears, riding stops being intimidating. That is a big part of what this machine is really selling: not just cargo space, but the confidence to get out and use it.

And the trips it replaces are exactly the ones that wear you down. Picture a typical short run with young kids in a car. You buckle everyone into car seats, back out of the driveway, sit at lights, circle for parking, unbuckle everyone, and by the time you arrive the outing already feels like work. Swap that for a trike and the trip becomes the fun part. The kids are outside, the air is moving, they can see everything, and you pull right up to the door. That is the quiet argument this trike makes every single time you choose it over the car.

I built this piece as a straight walkthrough, the same way I would talk you through it if you were standing next to me in the shop. I keep my own kids in mind the whole time, because this is genuinely how we use it. I have brought mine to soccer practice in it and taken them on a loop to the park, and it is a lot of fun. It also quietly replaces a category of car trips that nobody enjoys anyway, the short ones where you spend more time buckling kids into car seats, sitting in traffic, and hunting for parking than you spend actually getting anywhere.

What it is at a glance

Before we start pulling out the tape measure, here are the headline specs, all straight from the trike itself. It runs a 750-watt rear hub Bafang motor paired with a large 21 amp-hour battery built on Samsung cells. sixthreezero rates it at up to 50 miles on a single charge, and it will get you up to about 16 miles per hour. You can ride it two ways: pedal and let the motor add assistance, or skip pedaling entirely and just use the throttle. Braking is handled by hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, and it comes wired for the road with a front headlight, rear brake lights, and a horn.

On tires, it wears two 20-inch by 4-inch tires up front and a 24-inch by 4-inch tire in the rear. Those are fat, planted tires, which is exactly what you want under a vehicle that is carrying precious cargo. The whole thing weighs in around 120 pounds, so this is not a featherweight, but almost all of that mass lives low and forward in the box area, which is the right place for it on a machine like this.

Who is it for? Parents, first and foremost, who want a real alternative to the car for short-to-medium trips around the neighborhood. But I have also seen trikes like this earn their keep for anyone who needs to move stuff regularly and would rather not fire up an engine to do it. If the idea of a dedicated hauler appeals to you, this model lives in our lineup of cargo electric trikes, and it is worth seeing it next to the rest of the family to understand where it fits. In the sections below I am going to go through the powertrain, the ride, the box and seating, the fit and footprint measurements, and finally how to actually try one and buy with confidence.

Let me start with the motor, because on a loaded trike the motor is doing real work. This is a 750-watt rear hub Bafang unit. Bafang is a name I trust to hold up, and putting the drive in the rear hub keeps the power delivery smooth and predictable when you have weight sitting out over the front wheels. You are not fighting the motor to steer, and pulling away from a stop with kids aboard feels controlled rather than jumpy.

The battery and range

Feeding that motor is a 21 amp-hour battery packed with Samsung cells. That is a genuinely large battery for a trike, and it is why sixthreezero rates this one at up to 50 miles on a single charge. Real-world range always depends on how much you are carrying, how many hills you climb, and how hard you lean on the throttle, so treat 50 miles as the ceiling rather than a promise. The battery is removable and weighs about 11 pounds on its own. That matters for two reasons. First, you can pull it out and carry it inside to charge, which is far easier than wheeling a 120-pound trike up to an outlet. Second, dropping 11 pounds off the frame makes the trike a little easier to move and load when it is time to transport it.

Two ways to ride

You can use this trike in whichever mode suits the moment. Pedal, and the motor adds assistance to your effort, so you get a workout and extended range while the electronics take the sting out of the hills and the extra cargo weight. Or press the throttle and go without pedaling at all. That throttle mode is the one I reach for on a hot day with a full box, or any time I just want to cruise the neighborhood without breaking a sweat. If a true twist-and-go setup is high on your list, it is worth browsing our electric trikes with throttle control to see how the feature shows up across different models. On this Cargo, the assist rating tops out at around 16 miles per hour, which is a sensible pace for a heavy trike carrying passengers. I would rather have a machine that cruises comfortably and stops confidently than one that chases a big top-speed number it has no business hitting with kids on board.

In day-to-day use I bounce between the two modes without thinking about it. On the way out, fresh legs and a lighter load, I will pedal with a lower level of assist and get a little exercise in. On the way home, tired kids and a box full of whatever we picked up, I lean on a higher assist level or just thumb the throttle and coast us back. That flexibility is the whole appeal of an e-trike. The motor is there when you want it and out of the way when you do not, and you are never stranded pedaling a heavy machine up a hill under your own power alone.

Brakes, lights, and the horn

Stopping power on a cargo trike is not a place to cut corners, and this one does not. It runs hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and the rear. Hydraulics give you strong, progressive braking with light lever effort, which is exactly what you want when you are hauling extra weight. In my experience it stops very easily and quickly, and the lever feel stays consistent whether the box is empty or full. On a vehicle this heavy, brakes you can trust are not a luxury, they are the whole ballgame.

One practical note on hydraulic brakes: because they are sealed and largely self-adjusting, they mostly take care of themselves, but they reward the same basic attention any brake does. Keep the rotors clean, notice any change in how the lever feels, and if anything ever seems off, that is exactly what our support team and warranty are there for. On a 120-pound trike that carries your family, I would much rather you flag something early than ride around wondering about it.

For visibility, you get a front headlight and rear brake lights, so you are lit up front and back when the light gets low or when you are rolling through a parking lot at dusk. There is also a horn up on the bars for the moments a bell would not cut it. None of this is exotic, but it is the kind of built-in equipment that makes a trike genuinely usable for real errands instead of only fair-weather afternoons.

Tires and the way a front-box trike handles

The tire setup is two 20-inch by 4-inch tires up front and a single 24-inch by 4-inch tire in the rear. Those wide, four-inch tires do a lot of quiet work. They keep all three wheels firmly planted, they soak up bumps and driveway lips so your passengers are not rattled around, and the two-wheels-forward stance gives the trike a wide, stable base right where the weight is. A three-wheeler rides differently from any two-wheel bike you have been on, and it is worth saying plainly: you do not lean a trike into corners the way you lean a bicycle. You steer it, and you carry your speed thoughtfully into turns, especially with a loaded box. Give yourself a little time and a little open space when you first take one out, and within a ride or two the handling becomes second nature. The reward is a machine you can stand still on, at a stop light or in a driveway, without ever putting a foot down.

The box is the heart of this trike, so let me get specific about it. Inside dimensions come out to 23 and a half inches wide, 35 and a quarter inches long, and 20 and a quarter inches deep. That is a real, usable volume. It is deep enough that kids sit down inside it rather than perched on top of it, and long enough to seat more than one of them front to back. When the box is not full of passengers, that same space swallows a surprising amount of gear, which is what makes this trike so easy to justify for everyday trips. If a dedicated hauling space is what you are after, it is worth seeing how this compares across our electric trikes with cargo space, since the right box size really does depend on what you plan to carry.

It is worth dwelling on how versatile that box is when the kids are not in it. Take the passengers out of the equation and you have a deep, walled cargo hold that swallows a full grocery run, a couple of beach bags and a cooler, a bag of soil and some plants from the garden center, or a folded stroller and a diaper bag with room to spare. Because the load sits low and forward between the two front wheels, adding weight to the box does not make the trike feel top-heavy the way stacking bags on a rear rack can. If anything, a little weight up front settles the ride.

Getting little ones in and out

One of my favorite details is the door. On the side of the box there is a panel that slides open, and the opening measures 14 inches. That door is the difference between wrestling a squirming four-year-old up and over a wall and simply letting them step through. For kids who want to climb in themselves, the top of the tire sits 22 inches off the ground, and there is a railing they can stand on at 14 inches. So the sequence is natural: step up onto the railing, then into the box, then sit down. Little legs can manage it with a hand from you, and older kids can do it on their own.

The seats and harnesses

Inside the box you get proper seats with harnesses, not just a flat floor to sit on. I measured both seats because they are not identical. One seat is 22 and a half inches wide and the other is 22 and three quarters, so barely a difference in practice. The backrests differ a touch more: one stands about 9 inches tall and the other about 7 inches. The taller backrest gives a bit more support against the seat back, which you notice on a longer ride. Harnesses are built in to keep everyone secured while you roll, and being able to glance forward and confirm your passengers are buckled and happy is one of the real advantages of this front-box design.

My loading routine with the kids is simple, and it becomes a habit fast. I slide the door open, they step up onto the railing and into the box, they drop into a seat, and I clip the harness before we move an inch. Doing it in the same order every time means nobody is standing on a tire or reaching for the wrong thing, and the little ones learn the sequence quickly. Once everyone is buckled, I can see all of them from where I sit, which is the reassurance you simply do not get when kids ride behind you.

How many kids actually fit

Here is the honest answer, because capacity claims are worth being straight about. The box comfortably fits about four four- and five-year-olds. I have a nine-year-old, a seven-year-old, and a four-year-old, and we can fit all three of them in there. I will tell you the catch: my nine-year-old is on the tall side, so with her in the mix it gets a little precarious. That is not a knock on the trike, it is just physics. Three younger kids is a relaxed, roomy fit, and as your kids grow you will naturally shift toward two passengers with room to spare. If your crew is on the smaller side, you have a machine that genuinely carries the whole family. If they are older and taller, plan around two riders and use the extra space for gear.

The sliding door deserves a little extra credit here too. Fourteen inches does not sound like much on paper, but it is the difference between a kid climbing in on their own and you deadlifting them over a wall a dozen times a day. Small design choices like that are what separate a trike you use constantly from one that ends up parked in the garage.

Living with the box day to day

There is one more measurement that tells you a lot about the geometry: the opening from the box back to the seat post is 21 inches. That is the gap between the passenger area and where you sit, and it is a good reminder that on this trike you and your passengers occupy clearly separated spaces. They are up front in their own protected zone, and you are behind them with a full view. Whether you are running kids to practice or loading up for a grocery run, the box is the feature that turns short trips from a chore into something everyone actually looks forward to. Put a couple of kids in it once and you will understand why I am so high on the format.

Now the tape-measure section, because a trike this capable still has to fit you, your driveway, and your garage. Let me start with how it fits the rider. The step-over height, the point you swing your leg across to get on, is about 13 inches. That is low and friendly, which is a big deal on a trike meant for parents and riders who would rather not hoist a leg up to their waist every time they mount up. Getting on and off should be the easy part, and here it is.

Dialing in your riding position

The seat adjusts across a wide range. In its lowest position it sits 33 inches off the ground, and at its highest it reaches 43 and a half inches, with a line on the post marking the safe limit. That is a generous spread, so shorter and taller riders can both find a comfortable spot without much fuss. Reach is set by the distance from the nose of the seat to the handlebar, which is 16 inches, and the handlebars themselves are 21 and a quarter inches wide. From the ground up to the handlebar is 46 and a half inches. Those numbers add up to a relaxed, upright cockpit rather than a hunched-over stretch. If you want help matching the trike to your body before you commit, our get fitted tool is built exactly for that, and it takes the guesswork out of sizing.

What that adjustment range means in practice is that most households can share one trike. A shorter parent can bring the seat down toward that 33-inch mark, a taller partner can raise it toward 43 and a half inches, and both end up with a comfortable, upright position and a good reach to the bars. The upright cockpit is not an accident either. Sitting tall keeps your head up and your view of traffic, and of your passengers, clear, and it keeps the strain off your wrists, shoulders, and lower back on the longer outings where you would otherwise start to feel it.

A couple of clearance numbers round out the fit picture. The chain sits about 7 inches off the ground, and the lowest hard point, the bottom of the chain wheel, has around 8 and a half inches of clearance. That is enough to clear typical curbs and driveway transitions without scraping, as long as you are sensible about steep gutters.

The footprint: will it fit your space?

This is the question I get most, so here are the numbers. Front to back, the trike measures 87 inches. It is relatively lengthy, which is simply the cost of having a real passenger box up front. The width, measured to the outside of the tire guard, is 35 and a half inches. Axle to axle it runs 60 inches. To the top of the rear rack it stands 28 inches tall. Write those down and go measure the spot in your garage where you plan to park it, and the gate or door you plan to roll it through. An 87-inch length and a 35-and-a-half-inch width are very manageable for most garages and side yards, but you want to confirm rather than assume.

When you go measure your space, do not just check the parking spot. Check the tightest point on the way to it: the gate you wheel through, the turn from the side yard into the garage, the width of the shed door if that is where it will live. At 35 and a half inches wide and 87 inches long, this trike fits the vast majority of home setups, but a five-minute check with a tape measure now saves you a headache on delivery day. If you are tight on space, remember that you can pull the battery to lighten it, and that the trike parks flat and stable on its own three wheels, so it never needs to lean against anything.

One note on transport. People often ask whether turning the handlebars sideways shortens the trike for loading, the way it can on some bikes. On this one, turning the bars actually makes it longer once you measure out to the front, so it does not help. Keep the handlebars straight when you load or store it. Where you do save real effort is the battery: pull that 11-pound pack out before you lift or maneuver the trike, and you take a meaningful chunk of weight off in one move.

The rear rack and the canopy

Out back there is a rear rack that measures 7 and a half inches wide by 18 inches long, which is handy for strapping down an extra bag or two beyond whatever is riding in the front box. And up front, there is a canopy enclosure you can add over the box to keep your passengers shaded on a sunny day or dry if the weather turns. For a family trike that you actually want to use year-round, that canopy is the kind of accessory that quietly extends how many days a year the trike gets ridden. Because this is a heavier machine that is built to carry serious weight, it is also worth understanding where it sits among our high weight capacity electric trikes if hauling capability is one of your top priorities.

The canopy is one of those add-ons that quietly changes how often the trike gets used. A little shade turns a hot afternoon school run into something the kids do not complain about, and a bit of cover means a passing drizzle no longer cancels the trip. For a family that wants to lean on this trike instead of the car through more of the year, it is an easy thing to add and an easy thing to appreciate.

Specs and measurements tell you a lot, but a trike like this really clicks the moment you sit on it and roll a few feet, so let me close with how to actually try one and buy with confidence. My honest advice with any three-wheeler is the same: ride it before you decide. A trike steers and balances differently from a two-wheel bike, and the front-box layout is something you want to feel for yourself, ideally with your own kids in the box.

Take your time deciding

We back every e-trike with a 30-day test ride policy. Ride it at home, on your streets, with your family, and if it is not right for you in the first 30 days, send it back. You can read exactly how that works on our 30-day test ride page. On top of that, this trike carries a one-year warranty covering parts and labor, so if something goes wrong in that first year, we take care of it. I would rather point you to the full, current terms than paraphrase them, so check the details on our warranty page before you buy.

I push the test ride hard for a reason. A trike is not something you can fully judge from a spec sheet or a video, even a thorough one like this. The way it steers, the way it feels to sit flat-footed at a stop, the way your own kids settle into the box, those are things you learn in the first few minutes of actually riding. Thirty days is enough time to fold it into your real routine, take the trips you would actually take, and find out whether it earns its spot in your garage. If it does not, you send it back. That takes the pressure off the decision entirely.

Come see it in person

If you are anywhere near us, the best thing you can do is come test ride any of our e-bikes or e-trikes before you purchase, so you know you are making the right choice. You can find our hours, location, and everything you need to plan a trip on our visit our store page. And if you would rather ask a few questions first, whether about fit, accessories, or shipping, the fastest way to get real answers is to talk to us directly, so reach out through our team on the site and we will help you sort it out.

Where the Cargo sits among our other trikes

The Cargo is the right answer when carrying kids or gear up front is your priority, but it is one of several ways we help families and riders get around, and the best choice really depends on how you plan to ride. If you like the passenger-hauling idea but want your riders seated on a rear bench with direct eye contact and simpler steering, take a look at our e-bike rickshaws. Riders who mainly want stability and an easy, comfortable cruise should browse our electric trikes for seniors and our most comfortable electric trikes, both of which prioritize a relaxed, upright ride.

If your routes include soft sand, gravel, or rougher pavement, the fat, planted tires of our fat-tire electric trikes are worth a look, and for riders who want the most planted platform we make, our four-wheel e-bikes add an extra contact point for even more steadiness. To see the whole family in one place and compare layouts side by side, start with our full collection of electric tricycles and work backward to the one that matches your life.

The honest way to choose among these is to start from how you actually plan to ride, not from a feature list. If carrying kids or gear in front of you is the core job, the Cargo is built for exactly that. If your riders are older and you want them on a bench with a simpler footprint, a rickshaw makes more sense. If it is really about comfort and confidence for one rider, a senior-friendly or extra-comfortable trike will serve you better than a hauler you rarely load. There is no single best trike, only the one that matches your life, which is the whole point of seeing them side by side before you commit.

Whichever way you lean, do not skip the two steps that make the biggest difference: get your sizing sorted so the trike fits you, and take advantage of the test-ride window so you can buy with real confidence rather than a hunch. Do those two things and the odds are very high you end up with a trike you actually ride, which is the only kind worth owning.

That is the EVRYjourney Cargo e-trike, top to bottom and tape measure to throttle. It is a real, thoughtfully built alternative to the car for the short trips that make up most of a family's week, and the front box turns those trips into something your kids look forward to. If there is a measurement I did not cover or a question I did not answer, come see us and we will put a tape measure on it together. It is your journey, so enjoy the ride.
