Indeed, Lectric CEO Levi Conlow posted a photo of the prototype electric trike in the Lectric XP Ebike Owners Group on Facebook. In the post he states: &#8220;Hey guys! Been working on a trike, and it&#8217;s finally at a point where I can give you a sneak preview! The Lectric team will have more specs to share on Friday, 1\/13.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22630695%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Ford%20F-150%20Lightning%20and%20Kia%20EV6%20Win%202%20Out%20Of%203%20NACTOY%20Awards%20in%202023%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22ford-lightning-kia-ev6-win-north-american-truck-suv-awards%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FW89wA3%2Fs5%2Fford-f-150-lightning-and-kia-ev6-win-2-out-of-3-nactoy-awards-in-2023.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22630674%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Suzuki%20Previews%202025%20Production%20EV%20With%20Crossover%20Concept%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22suzuki-evx-concept-electric-crossover%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FZnKev3%2Fs5%2Fsuzuki-evx-concept.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, the new electric trike is set to make its debut on Friday the 13th\u2014stereotypically unlucky, but Lectric seems to think otherwise. Additionally, Conlow&#8217;s post gave away a few juicy details about the electric trike, too. It makes use of a unique powertrain which consists of a mid-mounted hub motor connected via chain to an axle that drives both rear wheels. Said axle is also equipped with a differential, allowing it to take corners with stability.<\/p>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"image\" data-border=\"\" data-id=\"7036399\"><picture loading=\"lazy\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s1\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s3\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.webp 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s2\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.webp 2x\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s1\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 1025px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s3\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.jpg\" alt=\"Lectric To Debut Shiny New Electric Trike At Surprisingly Low Price \" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s3\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.jpg 1x, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/mMxmlq\/s1\/lectric-to-debut-shiny-new-electric-trike-at-surprisingly-low-price.jpg 2x\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/picture><\/section>\n<p>It also sports a rather hefty battery pack, which Conlow says has a 14-amp-hour capacity. Other features include a foldable frame, and hydraulic disc brakes, with the rear brake positioned on the axle beside the drive gear. Now, all these features are impressive to say the least, but the biggest shocker has to be its price.
