Mooncool was one such brand that our audience was talking up before the company was on our radar. As you might imagine, we were curious to find out what the buzz was about!
The TK1 Folding Electric Trike got our attention with its budget-friendly price; at around $1500, it’s one of the most affordable electric trikes on the market.
It also caught our eye with its bright colors! It’s rare for entry-level e-bikes and e-trikes to offer a wide variety of color options, as more colors mean more inventory space (and space comes at a premium).
Most brands in this space play it safe with classics like black, white, or grey. We were pleased to see a whopping seven color options from Mooncool, including many uncommonly splashy and fun choices (like Serenity Blue and Twilight Mauve) in addition to the standards.
Budget-level pricing also brings with it some inherent uncertainty. We’ve tested models with high build quality and good performance, but also many that sacrificed in one or more areas to achieve affordability.
At a glance, the TK1 Folding trike appeared well-constructed, and we were encouraged by its tried-and-true design. Like many similar models we’ve tested, it features a mid-mounted hub motor with a differential axle, a single-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, a hinged step-thru frame, and a number of other expected features.
If you’re familiar with our approach, however, you know that we don’t stop at face value; we tested the TK1’s capabilities in a series of standardized performance tests. Continue reading our full review below to find out if this trike is as (moon) cool as it looks!
