PUCKIPUPPY Alaskan

The PUCKIPUPPY Alaskan is a three-wheeled e-trike for errands and cargo runs, rated by the brand for a 227 kg total load. The brand says its rear differential keeps the trike steady through turns and on slopes, while 20 x 4.0 in fat tires give it a wide footprint.

Highlights

• Motor and controls: 750 W with a 960 W peak, a hand throttle and cadence-sensor pedal assist with five levels; top speed is 24 km/h by the brand's figure.
• 720 Wh battery: 48V 15Ah and IPX7-rated, good for 56–88 km per charge by the brand's figure.
• Brakes on every wheel: a hydraulic disc at each of the three wheels, all on 160 mm rotors.
• Low, sturdy frame: 6061 aluminum alloy with a 13.7 in standover; the trike weighs 46.6 kg and is rated for a 227 kg maximum load.
• Ride and gears: an 80 mm front suspension fork (not adjustable) and Shimano 7-speed gearing.

Who it suits

Riders who want three-wheel stability for grocery runs, neighbourhood trips and short commutes, and who need to carry more than a two-wheeler handles comfortably. Fat tires also help on gravel and snowy side streets.
