The holiday season is upon us (yay!).
It’s a time for eggnog, awkward family photos, and the annual scramble to find gifts that won’t end up in next year’s garage sale.
If you, too, are tired of giving sweaters and scented candles to your loved ones, why not go big this year with something that says, “I care about you and your carbon footprint”?
Electric trikes and bikes are all the rage nowadays, and no, they’re not just for hipsters or tech geeks. Whether it’s your uncle who’s secretly a speed demon or your grandma who prefers her leisurely strolls, there’s an electric ride to suit every quirky personality in the family.
Let’s discuss why electric bikes and trikes make the ideal holiday gifts for people of all ages and interests.
Electric Bikes for University Students: Why?
University life is all about attending lectures and social events, working part-time, and going on spontaneous weekend adventures. There’s nothing that university students will appreciate more than a reliable mode of transportation that saves their time, reduces commuting costs, and adds a fun factor to their daily routine.
As such, the MaxZ Cruiser Electric Bikes are the perfect companions for students on the go. These Maxfoot bikes come in 20-inch and 24-inch versions. Both models are equipped with a 750W brushless geared hub motor for swift acceleration. This allows them to conquer hills and long distances without any problem.
The 48V 20Ah lithium battery is long-lasting. It enables students to ride to and from or around the campus all day without worrying about recharging. Thanks to the ergonomic riding position, the rider’s comfort isn’t compromised, even during longer rides. They can also choose the most suitable handlebar angle for optimal comfort.
Both the 20" and 24" cruiser bikes are built with high-quality materials to withstand daily use and various weather conditions. The one-piece molding frame adds to the overall sleek look of the e-bikes.
Moreover, the 4-inch-wide tires on both models provide extra grip and traction on various surfaces to make the ride as smooth as possible. The 80-100mm travel front fork suspension also absorbs jolts and vibrations from bumpy roads to minimize strain and discomfort.
The MaxZ Cruiser Electric Bikes also have an integrated headlight and rear light, a 5-inch LCD with a USB port, and a sturdy rear rack. Both models have a maximum payload capacity of 300 lbs.
MaxZ 20" vs. 24": The Differences
MaxZ 20" Cruiser Electric Bike is compact and highly maneuverable, making it ideal for navigating crowded city streets and tight campus pathways. Its smaller frame is perfect for riders who prefer agility and ease of storage in smaller living spaces like dorm rooms or apartment hallways.
On the other hand, the MaxZ 24" Cruiser Electric Bike offers a bit more comfort and stability with its larger frame and wheels. The 24-inch wheels provide better shock absorption and a more balanced ride. Additionally, this model is a great choice for taller riders who may feel cramped on smaller bikes.
E-Trikes for Homemakers: Why?
Homemakers juggle numerous responsibilities, from grocery shopping to picking up kids and managing household errands. An efficient and practical mode of transportation can significantly ease their daily workload.
Enter electric trikes.
These 3-wheel electric bikes promise extra stability and can be used to haul groceries, kids’ supplies, or pet essentials without needing a car. To make things even more convenient, Maxfoot introduced the MF-30 Rear Drive Electric Trike. Unlike other models, this trike is pushed forward by the rear tires. This makes the ride smoother and reduces the risk of the front tire slipping on challenging terrain or when carrying a full load.
The MF-30 also has a 750W motor that produces 85Nm of torque. The 48V 20Ah battery promises a range of over 85 miles per charge, which is more than enough for running errands and managing school pickups.
Its step-through design ensures that anyone, regardless of height or mobility, can easily hop on and off the trike without discomfort. This design feature is particularly beneficial for those who may struggle with traditional bikes due to back or knee issues.
Speaking of back issues, the backrest of this rear drive electric trike has a unique design to minimize strain. This, combined with a thick-padded saddle, prevents overall ride fatigue. Safety isn’t a concern, either. The MF-30 comes with 180mm dual disc brakes for precise stopping power. It also has a rear differential to keep the trike steady and balanced during sharp turns or while riding on bumpy roads.
Extra features include an aluminum alloy front fender and a 5-inch LCD with a USB port. The best thing about this rear drive electric trike is, of course, its storage capacity. There’s a spacious rear rack with a 48L waterproof basket bag to keep items safe from rain and external damage. The trike also has a small basket in the front for smaller stuff. The total payload capacity is 350 lbs.
Any homemaker will appreciate how this electric trike transforms daily chores into enjoyable activities.
E-Trikes for Senior Relatives: Why?
Our senior family members deserve gifts that enhance mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Electric trikes offer a safe and enjoyable way for them to stay active, socialize, and run errands without relying on others. Among the best options are passenger electric trikes and step-through electric trikes, which cater specifically to the needs of older adults.
Passenger Electric Trike for Seniors
A passenger electric trike is an excellent gift for seniors who enjoy socializing and want the ability to ride with a loved one. The Maxfoot MF-33, in particular, is a steal for the following reasons:
Spacious Passenger Seat: The trike can accommodate up to two passengers, allowing seniors to share rides with their grandchildren or friends. The passenger seat has a backrest along with two armrests and footrests to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
Step-Through Frame: The low step-through frame makes it easy for the rider as well as the passengers to get on and off the trike.
Extended Range: Seniors can enjoy short or long rides, depending on their mood, without running out of juice because the MF-33 can go up to 85+ miles on a single charge.
Easy Controls: Simple throttle and braking systems make it easy to operate, even for seniors who are unfamiliar with electric vehicles.
Safety Features: The MF-33 is equipped with dual disc brakes on all wheels, a rear differential, a strong headlight, a taillight with turn signals, and a sturdy frame for safe riding in various conditions.
Step-Through Electric Trike for Seniors
For those who like to ride alone, a step-through electric trike like the MaxZ 24" Step-Thru Trike is an excellent option. Here’s what it offers:
Sleek Design: This trike has a classic, rugged charm that seniors love. The one-piece molding frame adds to the clean look and exudes strength.
Low Step-Through Frame: It makes mounting and dismounting hassle-free, which is particularly important for those with limited mobility.
Adjustable Components: The seat and handlebars can be adjusted for optimal comfort.
Enhanced Safety Features: In addition to an integrated headlight, brake light, and 180mm disc brakes, this step-through electric trike comes with an integrated horn and a parking brake system.
Integrated Controls: The handlebar has all control buttons, so seniors can easily access all main functions. There’s also an LCD that shows speed, battery level, etc., to keep riders updated on critical details. The LCD comes with a USB port for seniors to charge their devices on the go.
