Mokwheel Granite

What the Mokwheel Granite is built for

The Mokwheel Granite is an electric trike whose three wheels keep it upright at a standstill, for riders who want stability and a basket.

It has a 500 W (860 W peak) mid-drive motor, 70 Nm of torque and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a 720 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 55 miles (88 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Mokwheel Granite weighs 101 lb (45.8 kg), carries up to 351 lb (159 kg) including the rider, has front suspension and is rated IPX7 against water.

In the United States the Mokwheel Granite sells for $2,100, close to the median of $1,999 across 7 electric trikes with a US price. That is $3 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Mokwheel Granite may be ridden

Mokwheel Granite is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 500 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Mokwheel Granite safety certification

The brand states that the Mokwheel Granite is certified to UL 2849.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
