Transport for People and Cargo

Welcome! For the past 15 years, Stites Design has been designing and crafting unique and innovative trike bicycles to reduce dependence on automobiles, as well as trucks.

While Stites Design still manufactures trikes of all types, we are now rolling out our latest creation – an electric cargo bike called the Truck Trike. This is not your typical electric tricycle. This is truly an industrial trike intended for business, with a universal flat-bed that can be customized for any use.

The Truck Trike is the only electric hybrid trike with human power to the front wheel, and electric power to the rear wheels. This system makes use of the patented StitesHub front wheel drive [FWD] system.

Benefits of the Truck Trike over traditional trikes:

• A lower floor for the cargo bay:
  • Increased load capacity – up to 600 lbs.
    
  • Improved visibility for driver
  • Lower center of gravity

• The StitesHub FWD system provides high drive power with neutral steering:
  • Improved traction [just like a FWD car in snow]
  • Improved control, as the front wheel pulls the vehicle rather than pushes [just like a horse pulling a cart]
  • Improved power efficiency because of a shorter chain
