Recumbent Electric Trikes (Delta & Tadpole) – Exercise, Stability & Comfort

Recumbent electric trikes (recumbent tricycles) place you in a reclined, back-supported position with a low center of gravity for confident handling. Available in delta (1F/2R) and tadpole (2F/1R) layouts, they offer greater stability than upright trikes and a super fun, secure ride.

Ideal for riders seeking low-impact exercise, better leg extension, and reduced pressure on knees, back, wrists, and neck. Many riders—especially seniors or those doing rehab/physical therapy—prefer the ergonomic seating and smooth, balanced feel of a recumbent e-trike.
If you’re comparing options or deciding what’s right for your needs, see our Electric Recumbent Trike Buying Guide.

All models are expert-built and ready to ride. Use the filters on the left to choose by layout (delta/tadpole), seat type, wheel size, range, and brand. See our X-Seam sizing guide and Shipping/Warranty info below.

FAQs

What is an electric recumbent trike?


An electric recumbent trike is a three-wheeled cycle with a reclined, back-supported seat and pedal-assist motor. The rider sits low with legs positioned forward, reducing strain on the back, knees, wrists, and neck while providing stable, confidence-inspiring handling.
What is the difference between a delta and a tadpole recumbent trike?

A delta recumbent trike has one wheel in front and two in back, often sitting slightly higher and making entry easier. A tadpole recumbent trike has two wheels in front and one in back, offering a lower center of gravity and a more planted feel when cornering.
Are recumbent trikes good for seniors or people with knee problems?

Yes. Recumbent trikes are popular with seniors and riders with joint concerns because the reclined seat supports the back and allows smooth leg extension. The electric assist further reduces strain, making starts, hills, and longer rides easier and more comfortable.
Are recumbent electric trikes safe and easy to ride?

Recumbent electric trikes are very stable due to their three-wheel design and low center of gravity. There is no need to balance at stops, and most riders become comfortable after a short adjustment period focused mainly on steering and visibility.
How are recumbent trikes serviced if something goes wrong?

All recumbent models sold by ElectricTrike.com are modular and easy to service. Local bike shops can handle mechanical work, while most electrical issues can be diagnosed using our Rescue Pack system with support from our U.S.-based team.
