Friends, do you still remember the “green monster” I posted on Facebook three months ago? It was the electric tricycle imported from China! At that time, many people left messages asking me: “Mike, you are an old cowboy from a big American countryside, what can you do with this thing?” – Now, it’s time to answer you with real experience. It’s no exaggeration to say that this tricycle has completely changed my lifestyle and even made me the coolest environmental pioneer in town!

The Electric Tricycle **Why choose it? A “revolution” caused by oil prices**
I live in southern Ohio and run a 15-acre family farm. Driving a pickup truck to and from the warehouse and the market every day, the fuel cost alone makes me heartbroken (you know, when the oil price rose to $5 per gallon last year, I almost switched to riding a horse carriage!). Until one day, I saw a review video of a Chinese electric tricycle on YouTube – it can carry 800 kg, travel 70 miles on a single charge, and the price is only 1/10 of a pickup truck! As a science and engineering man, I immediately did the math:
– **Fuel vs. electricity**: In the past three months, I have used it to travel 1,200 miles, and the electricity cost is only $37 (the same mileage for a pickup truck costs $240 for fuel).
– **Maintenance cost**: There is no trouble with engine oil and spark plugs, and the only expense is to inflate the tires.
– **Hidden benefits**: The local government subsidizes new energy vehicles, and I applied for a $500 tax rebate!

The Electric Tricycle **Extraordinary functions: It is simply a “Transformer”**
**1. Monday to Friday: It is my “farm warrior”**
– At 6 a.m., I carry 20 boxes of organic tomatoes and sweet corn to the farmer’s market (15 miles one way, and the battery only drops 20%).
– In the afternoon, I used the open cargo box to pull back feed and fertilizer. Is it a rainy day? The closed cargo box mode keeps the cargo from getting wet.
– Last week, my neighbor John’s tractor got stuck in the mud. I turned on the “climbing mode” and used the steel towing rope to pull the 5-ton “iron lump” out!
**2. Weekend: Turn it into a “family fun car” in seconds**
– Remove the cargo box and install the custom seats, and take my wife and two grandchildren to the lake to fish. The grandchildren love the USB port on the front of the car the most – charge the Switch while driving!
– The maximum speed is 28 miles per hour (about 45km/h), which is much faster than a golf cart, but it complies with local low-speed vehicle regulations. The police gave it a thumbs up.
**3. Community Star: From Being Laughed at to Being Admired**
– At first, someone always teased: “Mike, can your ‘three-wheeled toy’ compare to my Ford F-150?” Until the flood hit last month…
– When the roads in the town were flooded, my tricycle became the only accessible means of transportation with its high chassis and anti-skid tires. It helped the supermarket transport bottled water for three consecutive days and even made it to the local newspaper!

The Electric Tricycle **Those details that surprised me**
– **Mobile APP black technology**: Through Bluetooth connection, I can check the remaining power and locate the vehicle in real time (no longer have to worry about my grandson secretly driving for a ride).
– **Safety design saved me once**: Once when going down the mountain, the brakes suddenly failed, and the triple brake system intervened instantly. Later, it was found that the child lock was just accidentally touched – but the reaction speed made me feel at ease.
– **”Fool-style” maintenance**: The battery can be removed and charged. I put it under the solar panel in the barn and charged it in the sun on a sunny day!

The Electric Tricycle **Tips for those considering buying**
1. **Choose the right model**: I bought the cargo version (load capacity 800kg). If it is mainly used for carrying people, remember to choose the version with shock-absorbing seats.
2. **Pay attention to regulations**: Some states require low-speed vehicles to install rearview mirrors and turn signals. Consult dealers in advance.
3. **Winter endurance**: Low temperatures will reduce battery efficiency by about 15%. My solution is to wrap the battery compartment with insulation.

The Electric Tricycle **Now, it’s your turn to ask me questions! **
Since I shared the photos on my blog, the Facebook comment section has exploded:
– **Kevin (chicken farmer)**: “Can it hold 200 live chickens?” → Of course, the cargo box size is 2.8m×1.2m!
– **Lisa (primary school teacher)**: “Is it suitable for a 62-year-old man to travel?” → My 75-year-old father-in-law just got his tricycle driver’s license last week!
– **Amy from the Environmental Club**: “How much carbon emissions are reduced?” → Three months is equivalent to burning 84 gallons of gasoline less, which is equivalent to planting 15 trees!

The Electric Tricycle **Last Voice**
This Chinese-made tricycle made me understand: the real “coolness” is not the roar of the engine, but how it makes life more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and more full of possibilities. Now, even the most conservative old Hank in town has come to ask me for the purchase link – maybe next year, we should organize an “Electric Tricycle Cowboy Parade”?

** (P.S. The dealer said that mentioning my name can get a 10% discount, but please don’t tell them that I secretly told everyone!)**
