You Can Fit Anything in this Electric Trike! Bring Passengers & Cargo on This ETrike

How the EvryJourney Rickshaw Transforms Passenger Riding Into a True Cargo-Carrying Experience

Electric trikes are often associated with comfort, stability, and accessibility—but very few truly blur the line between passenger transport and serious cargo hauling. That’s where the EvryJourney Rickshaw stands apart.

Designed as a front-passenger electric trike, the EvryJourney Rickshaw already offers something rare: the ability to bring people along for the ride in a stable, social, face-to-face setup. Add the rear cargo basket and subframe system, and the trike evolves into something far more versatile—a vehicle capable of carrying passengers, sports equipment, beach gear, camping supplies, pets, and everyday cargo, all at the same time.

This article breaks down how the EvryJourney Rickshaw cargo basket works, how it installs, what it can carry, and why it dramatically expands what an electric trike can realistically replace in everyday life.

The EvryJourney Rickshaw was never meant to be a novelty e-trike. From the start, it was designed to solve a real-world problem: how do you comfortably bring another person along without sacrificing stability or usability?

That same design philosophy extends to its cargo system.

With the addition of the rear cargo basket, the Rickshaw becomes a true multi-role electric vehicle. You can configure it in several different ways depending on how you plan to use it:

• Passenger seating in the front + cargo in the rear
• Passenger seating removed + full rear cargo setup
• Subframe-mounted basket for heavier loads
• Seat-replacement basket for maximum open storage

This modular approach means riders aren’t locked into a single use case. The trike adapts to your day—not the other way around.

The rear cargo basket is designed specifically for the EvryJourney Rickshaw platform and can be installed in two primary ways:

1. Subframe-Mounted Cargo Basket (Recommended for Heavier Loads)

The preferred setup uses the rear subframe, which is engineered to handle additional weight. When mounted this way, the basket bolts directly onto four reinforced mounting points using heavy-duty hardware.

This configuration is ideal if you plan to carry:

• Camping equipment
• Sports gear
• Beach supplies
• Multiple bulky items
• Pets (with optional padding)

Because the basket slightly overhangs the rear, weight distribution matters. Heavier items should always be positioned closer to the subframe, keeping the load balanced and stable during riding.

2. Seat-Replacement Cargo Basket

For riders who don’t need rear passenger seating, the basket can also replace the first row of rear seats. This opens up additional storage space while maintaining a clean, integrated look.

This option works well for:

• Solo riders
• Utility-focused riding
• Pet transport
• Grocery runs
• Equipment hauling

Both setups are secure, but the subframe mount is the better choice for frequent or heavier cargo use.

The basket is generously sized without feeling oversized or awkward on the trike.

Cargo Basket Measurements:

• Depth: 10 inches
• Length: 37 inches
• Width: 21 inches

This footprint allows you to carry long items (like golf bags or folding chairs) while still leaving room for bulkier gear.

Heavy-Duty Construction

The basket is bolted down using four reinforced mounting bolts, ensuring it stays solidly in place even when fully loaded. Once installed, it feels like a permanent part of the trike—not an add-on accessory.

Installation typically takes 10–15 minutes, even for first-time users.

One of the most underrated features of the cargo basket is the fold-down rear gate.

Instead of lifting items over the side, riders can simply unlatch the rear gate and slide cargo in and out—much like a pickup truck tailgate. This is especially useful for:

• Long items
• Heavier gear
• Awkwardly shaped cargo
• Pets stepping in and out

Once closed, the gate locks securely, keeping items contained during the ride.

An optional padded insert is available for the cargo basket and serves multiple purposes:

• Adds comfort for dogs or pets
• Prevents smaller items from slipping through the basket floor
• Protects delicate gear from vibration
• Makes the basket quieter during riding

The pad can be removed or installed in seconds, depending on how you’re using the basket that day.

Short answer: a lot more than most people expect.

Sports Gear

The basket easily accommodates:

• Full golf bags
• Tennis rackets and ball baskets
• Scooters
• Skateboards
• Folding bicycles

Even long items can fit by angling them slightly or letting them extend past the rear gate (secured with straps).

Camping Equipment

For campers and outdoor enthusiasts, the basket can carry:

• Folding camping chairs
• Coolers
• Tents
• Sleeping bags
• Portable grills

With proper strapping, the trike remains stable even when loaded for a day outdoors.

Beach Gear

Beach days are where the Rickshaw truly shines. Riders can load:

• Boogie boards or surfboards
• Beach chairs
• Towels
• Sand toys
• Coolers

Long boards may extend beyond the basket, but with bungee cords or straps, they’re easy to secure.

Family Gear

Parents can toss in:

• Kids’ scooters
• Balance bikes
• Helmets
• Backpacks
• Picnic supplies

This makes trips to parks or trails far more manageable—especially when kids are too young to ride the whole way themselves.

A common concern with loaded trikes is handling. Intuitively, many riders assume steering will feel heavy or unpredictable with both a passenger and cargo onboard.

In practice, the opposite is true.

The EvryJourney Rickshaw’s geometry and hitch design keep the trike surprisingly nimble, even when fully loaded. Weight over the rear subframe actually adds stability, particularly on flat terrain and gentle turns.

Turning and Handling

• Wider turns are recommended when cargo extends beyond the basket
• Approaching turns from the outside helps maintain smooth steering
• Slow, controlled inputs keep the ride comfortable for passengers

With practice, maneuvering feels natural—even in tighter pathways.

No cargo-loaded electric trike should be treated like a lightweight commuter bike on steep hills.

When carrying passengers and gear:

• Downshift early
• Use lower assist levels
• Maintain steady throttle or pedal input

Some steep inclines may be challenging or impractical when fully loaded—and that’s normal. On moderate grades, the Rickshaw performs predictably and safely when ridden within its limits.

While the basket itself is secure, cargo management matters.

Recommended best practices:

• Use bungee cords or ratchet straps
• Keep heavy items low and centered
• Avoid loose or top-heavy stacking
• Check straps before riding

A few simple precautions go a long way toward keeping every ride smooth and stress-free.

The EvryJourney Rickshaw with cargo basket is ideal for:

• Couples who ride together
• Parents transporting kids and gear
• Pet owners
• Golfers and recreational athletes
