This tadpole e-trike can protect you from the elements or can be configured to carry a passenger.
ENVO Drive Systems, a company based in British Columbia, has introduced a new recumbent e-trike that offers a very different take on what an e-bike can be. The Veemo is an e-trike that places two wheels in front, with the third wheel trailing, a configuration often referred to as a “tadpole.”
The ENVO Veemo comes in two versions: The Veemo SE is equipped with what the company calls its Epod partial enclosure and another—the Veemo LT—that dispenses with the enclosure, but incorporates a bench seat behind the rider plus running boards for their feet. All three wheels receive hydraulic disc brakes.
ENVO got its start with e-bike conversion kits before moving into offering its own e-bike designs.
The ENVO Veemo is a Class 2 e-bike (20 mph max speed, plus a throttle) that is legal on most bike paths and in bike lanes. The Epod enclosure includes LED lights, windshield wipers and a storage space behind the rider. The seat on the Veemo SE includes a large backrest that extends from the lumbar to the shoulders for an unsually high degree of support and comfort. Range for the ENVO Veemo SE is reported to be in the neighborhood of 43 mi., but it can be doubled by purchasing it with a dual battery setup.
For the rider who wants to commute regularly but doesn’t want to get soaked by a shower, the ENVO Veemo provides a solution to riding in wet conditions that doesn’t require a change of outfit.
The ENVO Veemo SE and LT are premium products and are priced accordingly. The Veemo LT goes for $5999, while the single battery Veemo SE goes for $7999 and the double-battery version comes in at $8943.
