The production line for electric cargo tricycles

The production line for electric cargo tricycles mainly includes three key processes: stamping and welding, painting, and final assembly and testing:

1. Stamping and Welding: Initially, steel or aluminum materials are stamped into shape to form the tricycle's frame and main structural components. These parts are then connected through welding processes to ensure the rigidity and stability of the frame.

2. Painting: The welded frames proceed to the painting workshop where they undergo surface treatment, such as degreasing and rust removal, followed by electrophoretic coating for a corrosion-resistant base layer, and finally, topcoat spraying and baking to give the frame an attractive appearance and durable protective layer.

3. Final Assembly and Testing: After painting, the frames are assembled on the final assembly line with core components such as motors, batteries, control systems, as well as other accessories like wheels and seats. Once assembled, each electric cargo tricycle undergoes rigorous performance tests and safety inspections, including electrical system checks, braking performance tests, and stability inspections, to ensure that all performance indicators meet standards and the vehicle is safe and reliable.

Electric cargo tricycles come in a variety of types, based on their design and purpose, which can be categorized as follows:

1. Utility: Utility electric cargo tricycles typically have a standard bicycle wheelbase, with a reinforced frame to allow for carrying more weight. The cargo area is usually in a metal basket at the front or a short rack at the back, integrated into the frame.

2. Cycle Trucks: Cycle trucks have a frame similar to a standard bicycle or tricycle but feature a smaller front wheel to accommodate a rack over it. Cycle trucks are not as common as some other styles.

3. Longtails: Longtails are by far the most common type of cargo bike on the market. They have an extra-long wheelbase to accommodate a cargo area at the back. The space might be a deck for a basket or a seat to carry passengers. Some longtails even have trunks for storage, similar to an enclosed truck bed.

4. Long: Long cargo bikes are similar to longtails but with cargo space in the front. The space sits between the front wheel and the bike seat. It can accommodate a bin, basket, or passenger seat.

5. Rickshaws: Rickshaw cargo bikes have one primary purpose: to carry people or pets. Therefore, they typically come with features that enable that purpose. For example, there may be a seat at the back behind the driver. They may also have a seat at the front.

6. Three-Wheel Cargo Bikes: These types of electric cargo tricycles typically have a basket or cargo space between two wheels. The wheels are at the back behind the rider in a basic tricycle. Some cargo tricycles might have two wheels at the front, though.

7. Electric-Assist: Adding a motor and a rechargeable battery to your cargo tricycle means you can go further with less effort. It's the bike-riding equivalent of working smarter, not harder. The motor allows you to:

   • Build physical strength
   • Ride uphill with ease
   • Perfect for windy days
   • Ride further

8. Electric Cargo Tricycles: These vehicles are designed specifically for people who need to transport heavy loads or perform delivery services. They usually come equipped with powerful motors, large-capacity batteries, and front or rear racks for carrying goods.

These types reflect the diversity and adaptability of electric cargo tricycles to different uses. Each type is designed with specific usage scenarios and needs in mind, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
