PRODUCTION UPDATES

It is amazing how much work and detail there is when creating a new vehicle for the first time. The R&D going into the new Trucker Trike has been extensive, as this is a new vehicle class. It is an electrohuman hybrid that weighs over 200 lbs. but less than 300 lbs. What shall we call it?

The first Trucker Trike is expected to be on the road in about two weeks.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We present a new vision for Urban Transport with an expressed mission …
to reduce dependence on the automobile.

Stites Design is a small design and fabrication shop in Portland, Oregon. We specialize in electrohuman hybrids – bikes and trikes. The benefits of pedaling are maintained, with the added boost of electric power assist. Combining these two power sources nullify weight and hills.

Around the globe, it is clear that auto-based transport has grown to unmanageable proportions. Many governments are responding with legislative mandates to reduce vehicle-miles traveled [VMT's]. Highly efficient, small-scale vehicles provide a genuine opportunity to reduce VMT’s.

An obvious place to start is in the congested cities of the world. Within the urban context, we are focusing on reducing short car trips.
