Puckipuppy\u2019s latest release, the Rottweiler, looks like it was built to haul, climb, and cruise with equal confidence. And with full suspension as well as specs like these, it\u2019s hard not to take notice.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-431326\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the Rottweiler e-trike is a 960W peak motor (750W \u201cnominal\u201d) paired with a torque sensor. That means smooth starts, steady hill climbs, and pedal assistance that feels like it\u2019s working with you instead of for you. Of course, the included throttle allows riders to whip it around without pedaling if they prefer, but the torque sensor will hopefully remind owners that pedaling can be fun and a natural feeling too, especially when you\u2019ve got an extra 960 watts of power helping you out.<\/p>\n<p>The trike tops out at a modest 15 mph (25 km\/h), keeping it relatively muted to avoid those high-speed tippy turns that trikes are notorious for. But even with the capped speed, it looks like the Rottweiler has plenty of raw hauling power to keep things fun.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default

charge, depending on how much weight you\u2019re lugging around. And speaking of weight, this thing is no slouch. It\u2019s rated for a payload capacity of 500 pounds (226 kg). That\u2019s more than enough for hauling groceries, pets, or a load of gear down a bike path, all while keeping the SUV parked at home.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Safety and convenience features also find a spot on the spec sheet. Integrated rear turn signals, hydraulic disc brakes, and even a parking brake make it feel more like a small utility vehicle than just an oversized e-bike. The thumb-operated reverse gear is another rare but welcome addition, letting you back out of a tight spot without doing the awkward trike shuffle. It\u2019s rare to find an e-trike with a good (and easily accessible) reverse function, but it makes a big difference when trying to push the trike backwards on anything more than a tiny incline.<\/p>\n<p>Other nice touches include a big 4.7-inch color LCD display, wild-looking butterfly handlebars for multiple riding positions, dual-beam headlights, a cushioned seat with backrest, and fat 20\u00d74\u201d tires that can roll over just about anything. Between those fat tires and the dual suspension setup, the trike should feel pretty darn comfortable over varied terrain.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fearing how much this thing will weigh, if we ever get a chance to put one on a scale, but at least it\u2019s packed to the brim with features!<\/p>\n<p>Priced at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puckipuppy.com\/products\/rottweiler\">$2,399<\/a>, the Rottweiler is definitely not in the running for lowest-cost trike. There are plenty of others <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/07\/16\/buzz-tries-to-undercut-lectric-with-even-lower-priced-electric-trike\/\">competing on price<\/a>. This one looks like it\u2019s trying to offer a lot more power, comfort, and features as a way to win over riders.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-431335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/08\/image-7.jpg?resize=140,79 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electrek-s-take\">Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>While Puckipuppy isn\u2019t quite the first dual suspension e-trike like they claim to be, there are still <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2025\/06\/03\/meetone-tour-full-suspension-electric-trike-review-the-most-powerful-and-most-comfortable-e-trike-yet\/\">very few options<\/a> on the market in this category, so it\u2019s welcome news to see another full-suspension option.<\/p>\n<p>The Rottweiler is interesting to me because it isn\u2019t trying to be your fast-and-loose commuter; it\u2019s clearly designed as a heavy-duty hauler for riders who want e-bike utility with a whole lot more stability. The 15 mph limit will feel slow to some, but for families, older riders, or anyone prioritizing cargo over thrills, this makes a lot of sense. With thoughtful design details like reverse, turn signals, and a 500-pound payload, it seems less like a bike and more like a mini pickup truck on three wheels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\" readability=\"6.3518518518519\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The electric trike world just got a new heavyweight contender.
