What are the Electric Tricycles From Viribus?
Viribus has at least four electric tricycle models, and all of them are currently on sale. This variability reflects the brand's commitment to meeting the riding needs of every single rider.

Why Choose a Tricycle From Viribus?
Viribus Electric Tricycles are Unrivalled in Terms of Quality
Every electric tricycle from Viribus is well-built and durable. They are made from high-quality components that ensure enhanced performance and longevity and provide reliable transportation. If you are going to buy a Viribus electric tricycle, here are some features that you can expect to have right from the jump:
i. A Formidable Motor.
All Viribus electric tricycles come with a motor of at least 250W of power. Given that tricycles are made for balance, safety, and stability, they are generally not optimized for speed and power. So, 250W is perfect and sufficient for an electric tricycle.
However, Viribus recognizes that priorities differ among riders, and some riders generally want a bit of a challenge. If you want a little more power, you still have many options to choose from.

The variability of motor power amongst different Trigo Electric tricycles makes them ideal for the riding needs of different groups of riders with varying riding preferences.
- The Trigo Electric Tricycle is perfect for elderly riders who prefer comfort and stability over speed.
- For younger adults who want a little adventure, the Trigo Plus and Trigo Pro provide just that extra power needed to get that thrill.
- The SC5 is for strong and agile adults who want outdoor adventure. It is perfect for riding both as a mountain tricycle and in the winter.
ii. A Long-Lasting Battery.
No matter which model of Viribus electric tricycle you get, you will surely have a strong, durable, and long-lasting battery. All models are powered by removable lithium-ion batteries that provide sufficient range: between 30–40 miles per charge.
Even in difficult riding conditions or on tough terrain, you can count on a Viribus lithium-ion battery to perform admirably, irrespective of which pedal assist mode you choose.

Main Features of Viribus Batteries
- They are all lithium-ion batteries, meaning they have higher energy density and can store charge for longer.
- They are lightweight and removable. Not adding any extra weight to your tricycle
- They have a longer battery life expectancy
- The power output is consistent
- They charge quickly: typically, it takes about four hours to charge fully
- They are friendly for the environment
iii. 5 Pedal Assist Options
While other tricycles generally offer 3 levels of pedal assist, Viribus electric tricycles offer five. Pedal assist is one of the factors that makes electric tricycles attractive to elderly riders. It reduces the amount of effort required to propel the tricycle, so people who may struggle with physical exertion, those with joint pain, or individuals with limited physical strength can ride for longer.
So, why up to five levels of Pedal Assist?
- First, the more pedal assist levels, the better for the rider. This variety suits different fitness levels, preferences, and riding goals because you can choose the level that best matches your riding needs.
- Five levels of pedal assist also mean your tricycle is adaptable to different terrains, from flat surfaces to steep hills and rough paths. The Fat tire, for example, can take on a slope up to 15 degrees in incline.
- More levels of pedal assist mean you can optimize battery usage.
- Having more levels of pedal assist smooths and makes the transition from pedaling to motor-powered riding more comfortable.
iv. Solid Dependable Frame.
Four out of the five Viribus electric tricycles are made of solid carbon steel, which makes them durable and long-lasting. When it comes to withstanding stress and impact, carbon steel is the best frame for an electric tricycle.
A carbon steel frame means your electric tricycle can easily and comfortably support your weight, as well as the weight of cargo and the motor system itself.
- Carbon steel is also relatively affordable. Viribus makes its electric tricycles more affordable by using carbon steel frames.
- The carbon steel frame also makes your ride more comfortable. It absorbs some of the shock from the road, especially on rough terrain.
- It is also relativel easier to repair in case of damage.
Why is the SC5 Fat Tire Made of Aluminum?
The SC5 Fat Tire Electric Tricycle is Viribus's only electric tricycle with an aluminum frame. Aluminum is not inherently inferior or superior to carbon steel: the use of the aluminum frame reflects the fact that the SC5 is made to cater to riders with different riding needs and preferences.
Being a bigger bike designed for outfield use, the alluminum frame is ideal because it keeps the bike lightweight, without sacrificing its structural integrity. This is especially important if you are going to be riding on challenging paths in the mountains.
v. Quality Display
Viribus tricycles come with an LED display screen that is at least 1.5 inches wide. If you need to check any information concerning your ride such as the distance covered, battery level, or the pedal assist level you’re currently riding on, all you need do is look to the screen. It is conveniently placed, so you can have a look without putting yourself in danger.
Here’s a table of the display screens on each tricycle and what it displays

Designed For Comfort
Every Viribus electric tricycle has an ergonomic design that prioritizes the rider’s comfort. This is evident in the structure of the frame and the position of the components, such as handles and frames. Here are some common ergonomic features on Viribus tricycles.
- A low step-through frame makes it easy for riders of all ages and physical abilities to get on and off the tricycle.
- The handlebars can be adjusted in height or angle, allowing riders to find a comfortable grip. This reduces strain on the back and shoulders during rides.
- Viribus electric tricycles have wide, cushioned seats that provide ample support for longer rides and are adjustable to accommodate different rider heights.

Sufficient Cargo Space
Viribus electric bikes are not only made for leisure and relaxation. You can also use them practically to make your daily tasks easier. That is because each model comes with at least one built-in rear basket.
If you are running errands, grocery shopping, or carrying personal items during rides, any of Viribus’ electric bikes will serve you perfectly.
The SC1 Fat Tire has an even bigger rear rack, with extended rails to carry larger items that will usually not fit in the back of an ordinary tricycle.
