Quick Answer — The DWMEIGI MG2302 Silverado Urban is a $2,299 electric tricycle for seniors and other riders who want three wheels: a 14-inch step-through, reverse gear, discs on all three wheels and a 624 Wh battery. With 300 lb aboard, trike included, the throttle alone computes to 50 miles at 12 mph on level pavement; DWMEIGI's figure on pure electric is 30.
It fits riders of about 5'2" to 5'8" best: at those heights 74 to 100 of 100 reach the formula saddle height (the fit tables). Above that the saddle runs out, so taller riders should read their row first. The youngest rider DWMEIGI's manual allows is 18 (the law).
Our Silverado Urban listing sells at $2,299 in blue or green; DWMEIGI's own US store showed that price and the same $2,599 list on November 6, 2026, and both colors were open to order with us that day. This button checks out the blue one; green is the same trike in a darker paint. Shipping is free within the contiguous United States.

How we verified this DWMEIGI Silverado Urban review
Each Silverado Urban figure starts in DWMEIGI's paperwork and is recomputed: its product page and product record, read November 6, 2026, the manual that page links, its warranty policy and its size photograph. The range and fit tables are our arithmetic on those documents, and each caption states its assumptions.
This is a seller's review of a trike on our own shelf, so read the red flags before the green ones. Part of our e-bike reviews.

Quotation marks hold DWMEIGI's own words and spellings. 48 V × 13 Ah = 624 Wh. DWMEIGI does not say whether 750 W is a rated or a peak figure. The manual is the one DWMEIGI's page links as "MG2302 USER MANUAL"; DWMEIGI uses the same file for its MG2301.
An electric tricycle for seniors, with a 14-inch step
Step over 14 inches, sit against a backrest, and three wheels hold you up at every stop; when you pull in nose-first, a rocker at your left hand backs the trike out under power. If a balance scare or a stiff knee has you doubting a two-wheeler, the Silverado Urban answers both, and the decision here is whether your height, your hills and your state agree.
The step is the part to look at first. DWMEIGI puts it at 14 inches off the floor and calls it "friendly for women, the elderly and people with knee problems for ride" (product page). Behind the backrest saddle rides a rear basket with a bag, and a front basket sits ahead of the bars.

DWMEIGI's Blue: a lighter aqua than the name suggests, on 24-inch wheels with the hub in the front one.
Three owners have rated the MG2302 on DWMEIGI's page, all five stars, and one verified owner on Coronado says why it was bought:
Unfortunately, I’m 66, have inner ear issues and problems with my vision so therefore no can do balance on two wheels.
That owner credits it with "hours and miles of joy and elation" (product page reviews, posted September 27, 2023). One review describes one rider's experience; the tables below are what to plan on.

Getting on in DWMEIGI's photograph: the frame dips low enough to walk a leg across it.
The motor sits in the front wheel, a Shimano 7-speed chain drives the rear axle, and a differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in a bend. You can lock the pack into the front frame or lift it out and charge it at a table (product page, manual).
Who it is built for: a rider of about 5'2" to 5'8" who wants a low step, an upright seat and reverse on paved streets and paths. Check your height in the fit tables before you order the Silverado Urban, and look up your steepest street in the hill table.
Silverado Urban or Silverado HD: what the $600 buys
The two Silverados share a 14-inch step, a reverse gear, DWMEIGI's manual and much of a name, and they part on tires, seat height and price: the Urban rolls on 24 × 2.4 inch tires with its seat two inches higher, for $600 less. Listings mix them up, and an AI search for "dwmeigi silverado" on November 6, 2026, answered with Chevrolet pickups, so search by the code, MG2302.

Choose the Urban for pavement and a taller seat. Our Silverado HD review covers the 4-inch tires, and its seat starts two inches lower, which helps a rider under about 5'2". Our Blazer review covers the same $2,299 with a bigger pack and springs at three points.
Will the Silverado Urban fit you?
At 5'4", all 100 of 100 riders in the Army's ANSUR II survey reach 109% of inseam on the Silverado Urban's 34 to 40 inch seat; at 6'0", 7 of 100 do. The seat is the limit here, because the trike stands by itself at a stop and the 14-inch step sits far below every inseam in the table.

DWMEIGI's size photograph, the source of this section's frame measurements: letter C marks the seat height and D the step.
Find your fit in three steps:
- To get your inseam, take off your shoes, stand straight against a wall and measure from the floor up to your crotch.
- Look up your height in the saddle table; it counts how many of 100 riders reach their formula height.
- Once the trike is built, the heel check sets the saddle for your own legs.
Will the saddle go high enough (or low enough) for me?
The post suits riders of 5'2" to 5'7" best, 87 to 100 of 100 at the 109% formula, and it runs short above that: a median 5'10" rider needs 40.5 inches and the post stops at 40. At 106% of inseam, the low end of the published band, 70 of 100 riders at 5'10" still fit.
| Your height | Typical inseam | Saddle height, median rider | At 109% | At 106% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5'0" | 27.1–29.7 in | 35.1 in | 85 of 100 | 62 of 100 |
| 5'2" | 28.0–31.1 in | 36.2 in | 99 of 100 | 93 of 100 |
| 5'4" | 29.1–32.2 in | 37.2 in | 100 of 100 | 100 of 100 |
| 5'5" | 29.7–32.6 in | 37.7 in | 99 of 100 | 100 of 100 |
| 5'6" | 30.2–33.5 in | 38.3 in | 94 of 100 | 99 of 100 |
| 5'7" | 30.7–33.9 in | 38.9 in | 87 of 100 | 97 of 100 |
| 5'8" | 31.1–34.3 in | 39.3 in | 74 of 100 | 94 of 100 |
| 5'10" | 32.2–35.5 in | 40.5 in | 28 of 100 | 70 of 100 |
| 5'11" | 32.9–36.1 in | 41.1 in | 12 of 100 | 44 of 100 |
| 6'0" | 33.2–36.7 in | 41.7 in | 7 of 100 | 23 of 100 |
| 6'1" | 33.9–37.2 in | 42.4 in | 2 of 100 | 7 of 100 |
| 6'2" | 34.3–37.5 in | 42.8 in | 0 of 100 | 3 of 100 |
Typical inseam: 90 of every 100 bodies at that height in ANSUR II, the US Army's survey of 6,068 people aged 17 to 58, measured 2010 to 2012. Saddle height is above the ground, DWMEIGI's own measure, for the median body at 109% of inseam on the frame as measured; the last two columns count riders the 34 to 40 inch post reaches at each setting.
At 5'10" the riders beyond its reach fall short by a median of about 0.8 inches; at 5'11", 1.2; at 6'0", 1.8; at 6'1", 2.4; at 6'2", 2.8.
Can I put a foot down at a stop?
Yes, and you rarely need to: at 5'0", 95 of 100 riders clear the 14-inch step by 13.1 inches or more, and on three wheels the trike holds itself up. The clearance decides how easily you walk a leg across the frame.
| Your height | Typical inseam | Clearance over the frame |
|---|---|---|
| 5'0" | 28.4 in | 13.1 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'2" | 29.5 in | 14.0 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'4" | 30.5 in | 15.1 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'5" | 31.0 in | 15.7 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'6" | 31.7 in | 16.2 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'7" | 32.2 in | 16.7 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'8" | 32.6 in | 17.1 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'10" | 33.8 in | 18.2 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 5'11" | 34.3 in | 18.9 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 6'0" | 34.9 in | 19.2 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 6'1" | 35.6 in | 19.9 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
| 6'2" | 36.0 in | 20.3 in or more for 95 of 100 riders |
Typical inseam is the median body of that height in ANSUR II; the clearance is barefoot inseam minus DWMEIGI's 14-inch stand height, at the fifth percentile of inseam for that height.
Will I feel cramped, or stretched?
Neither: the median rider leans 1 degree from upright at 5'0" and no more than 8 degrees at any height, with the bars where DWMEIGI photographed them. That is close to sitting in a chair, and the backrest stays within reach. Few riders reach the grips with no lean at all, so expect a slight forward tilt.
| Your height | Lean from upright, median rider | Riders who reach the grips sitting upright, of 100 | Elbow bend sitting upright, median rider |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5'0" | 1° | 33 | — |
| 5'2" | 3° | 14 | — |
| 5'4" | 5° | 7 | — |
| 5'5" | 5° | 4 | — |
| 5'6" | 6° | 3 | — |
| 5'7" | 7° | 1 | — |
| 5'8" | 8° | 1 | — |
| 5'10" | 8° | 1 | — |
| 5'11" | 8° | 3 | — |
| 6'0" | 8° | 3 | — |
| 6'1" | 7° | 6 | — |
| 6'2" | 6° | 4 | — |
The cockpit as photographed, seat at each rider's formula height or the post's limit, arms straight to the grip centers. A dash means the median rider leans at that height, so an upright elbow figure would not describe them. The bars adjust from 42 to 45 inches, and raising them cuts the lean.
How much weight goes through my wrists?
Little: with your back relaxed, the median rider puts 6% to 12% of body weight on the grips, about 4 to 11 lb a hand, under the 15% ten road racers carried on their hoods (Carahalios, 2015). These are ceilings, since your back muscles and the backrest can carry part of the load.
| Your height | Share of your weight, back relaxed | Median rider's weight | On each hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5'0" | 6% (5–10%) | 126 lb | about 4 lb |
| 5'2" | 7% (5–11%) | 139 lb | about 5 lb |
| 5'4" | 8% (5–13%) | 147 lb | about 6 lb |
| 5'5" | 9% (5–13%) | 157 lb | about 7 lb |
| 5'6" | 10% (5–14%) | 166 lb | about 8 lb |
| 5'7" | 11% (6–14%) | 172 lb | about 9 lb |
| 5'8" | 11% (6–15%) | 179 lb | about 10 lb |
| 5'10" | 12% (7–15%) | 192 lb | about 11 lb |
| 5'11" | 12% (7–15%) | 196 lb | about 11 lb |
| 6'0" | 11% (7–15%) | 204 lb | about 11 lb |
| 6'1" | 11% (6–15%) | 206 lb | about 11 lb |
| 6'2" | 10% (5–14%) | 216 lb | about 11 lb |
The share of body weight the hands carry with the back relaxed, the median rider of that height in ANSUR II, with the range across saddle and grip positions; the same photographed cockpit.
How do I set the saddle when it arrives?
Your target is a 25 to 35 degree knee bend at the bottom of the stroke, and the heel check finds that in a minute. Sit on the saddle, put a heel on the low pedal and back-pedal: your leg should go straight with the heel down, which leaves that bend once the ball of your foot is on the pedal.
| Check | What you want |
|---|---|
| Knee at the bottom of the stroke | A 25 to 35 degree bend |
| Heel on the low pedal | Leg straight, hips level |
| Seat post | Above its minimum insert line |
The knee range and heel method from Peveler and colleagues (2005).
The post has a floor as well as a ceiling. DWMEIGI's manual says "There’s min insert line on the seat post, it must keep in the frame tube", so stop raising it at that line (manual).
Send us your height and inseam, and the reply gives the saddle height this page's model sets for you on a Silverado Urban.
Send us your inseamHow we computed fit
We aim the saddle at 109% of inseam from the pedal axle (Hamley and Thomas 1967, via Peveler and colleagues, 2005), the knee at a 25 to 35 degree bend, and we draw the bodies from the US Army's ANSUR II survey. DWMEIGI prints no crank or bracket height, so those, the post angle and the grips were measured on its size photograph.
In Peveler and colleagues' test of 19 trained cyclists, the 109% formula put 55% inside that knee range, LeMond's 88.3% from the crank axle 65%, and the heel-toe method 70% (Peveler et al., 2005). The 106% to 110.4% band spans two ranges Ferrer-Roca and colleagues report (Ferrer-Roca et al., 2012).
| Input | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Seat height | 34 to 40 in | DWMEIGI's SIZE & FIT table |
| Stand height | 14 in | The same table; "stepover to floor height is 14”" |
| Bracket height | 12.2 in | Measured on DWMEIGI's size photograph |
| Crank | 6.8 in (169 to 178 mm) | Measured on the same photograph |
| Post angle | 68.6° | Measured on the same photograph |
| Grip centers | 11.4 to 13.5 in ahead of the bracket | Measured on the same photograph |
| Bodies | 6,068 | ANSUR II, US Army, 2010 to 2012 |
| Saddle formula | 109% of inseam from the pedal axle | Hamley and Thomas (1967), via Peveler and colleagues (2005) |
| Hand load | Moment balance about the sit point | Segment weights from Clauser, McConville and Young (1969) |
Measuring a photograph is only as good as its scale, so we checked it. The camera stood about ten feet from the trike, by the perspective in the frame: the near rear wheel is drawn 455 pixels wide, the far one 352.5, and the front wheel, on the frame's own plane, 396.5 against their harmonic mean of 397.2.
At the 16.54 pixels an inch that the published 51-inch wheelbase gives on that plane, three other published figures come back within 3.5%:
| Dimension | DWMEIGI lists | Measured on its studio photograph with DWMEIGI's dimension lines drawn on it | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tire size, front tire width | 24.0 in | 24.0 in | −0.1% |
| Total length, rear tire to front tire | 76.0 in | 74.2 in | −2.4% |
| Reach, DWMEIGI's own line | 24.0 in | 23.9 in | −0.6% |
Measured on DWMEIGI's photograph on the frame's center plane, at the scale the 51-inch wheelbase gives. The photographed saddle reads 35.0 inches and the grips 43.1, both inside DWMEIGI's published ranges. The fit tables use DWMEIGI's 14-inch step.
Worked rider: the median 5'8" body in ANSUR II has a 32.64-inch inseam, and 109% of it puts the saddle top 35.58 inches from the pedal axle. On this frame that is 39.3 inches above the ground, inside the post and near its top. LeMond's 88.3% gives 28.8 inches from the crank axle against the model's 28.7, the two formulas agreeing as they should.
A 750 W front hub, a thumb throttle and five assist levels
A 750 W brushless hub in the front wheel does the pulling, with 80 N·m of torque by DWMEIGI's rating and a 48 V, 22 A controller behind it. DWMEIGI lists three ways to ride, "Walking Mode, Pedal Assistant & Thumb Throttle": a walking push at 6 km/h, pedal assist on levels 1 to 5, and a thumb throttle that moves the trike with your feet at rest.

The hub's casing reads "48V750W". DWMEIGI shows the same close-up on its Blazer page.
DWMEIGI's page says the motor gives "up to 25MPH speed", and that is the one figure it prints for this model. A speed limit is among the display's settings in its manual, which sends you to a separate guide for the steps. Ask us what top speed your trike is set to when it ships, and read the class section before your first ride.
Assist in the manual runs "from 0 to 5": 0 takes the motor out, 5 gives the most, and the display wakes on level 1. The brake cuts the motor: "If either of the brake levers are pulled, the power will be cut off automatically and the motor will not work."

The display shows speed, trip and battery bars; DWMEIGI's page gives it a USB port.
All the motor's pull goes through the front tire, so on a wet or loose climb that one contact patch decides how far you get. The hill table prices paved grades only. For steep gravel, start with our Addmotor Grandtan Turbo review, a mid-drive trike.
A 48 V, 13 Ah pack: 624 Wh you carry indoors
The battery is 48 V and 13 Ah, 624 Wh, built from what DWMEIGI's page calls "Samsung cells", and it locks into the front frame with a key. To take it out, "Turn the key to unlock position, and then remove the battery", then charge it on the trike or at a table (manual).

The pack rides in the front frame, the long section the MEIGI lettering runs along.
Give it six hours: the 3 A charger takes "4-5 hrs" on DWMEIGI's page and "about 4-6 hours" in the manual. A trike left idle still needs a charge "at least one time per month".
Filling all 624 Wh costs about 11 cents at the US residential average of 18.16 cents a kilowatt-hour for August 2026 (US Energy Information Administration), before charging losses. At the model's 12.4 Wh a mile, 1,000 miles on the throttle at 12 mph each year cost about $2.26 in electricity.
For a second pack, our listing sells DWMEIGI's "48V 14AH Battery for MG2301/MG2302" at $598.80 on November 6, 2026. It is rated 14 Ah where the Urban's page prints 13; ask us about fit before you buy one.
Range: 50 miles at 12 mph for 300 lb in all, computed
You get 50 computed miles from the 624 Wh pack at 12 mph on level pavement, throttle only, with 300 lb of rider, cargo and trike, or 38 if a quarter of the pack stays in reserve. The tables below run on total weight, the trike included, and end at 20 mph, where the federal definition stops a motor.
Find your ride in three steps: pick your pace and pedaling in the speed table; trim that figure for hills, weight and cold; then book the trip against the 25% reserve column.
How far does a full charge take you?
Speed is the big lever: 58 miles at 10 mph, 40 at 15 mph and 27 at 20 mph, throttle only, at 300 lb in all on level pavement. Add 75 watts of easy pedaling and 15 mph stretches to 66 miles; at 10 mph your legs do most of the work.
| Speed | Throttle only | 75 W from your legs | 150 W from your legs | Throttle, 25% kept |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 mph | 66 mi | your legs alone | your legs alone | 50 mi |
| 10 mph | 58 mi | 321 mi | your legs alone | 44 mi |
| 12 mph | 50 mi | 126 mi | your legs alone | 38 mi |
| 15 mph | 40 mi | 66 mi | 161 mi | 30 mi |
| 18 mph | 31 mi | 43 mi | 66 mi | 24 mi |
| 20 mph | 27 mi | 34 mi | 46 mi | 20 mi |
Conditions: 300 lb with the trike counted, flat pavement at 77 °F, no wind, an upright rider holding one speed, and the 24 x 2.4 Kendas at the commuter-tire figure. "Your legs alone" marks a speed your pedaling can hold with the pack untouched: 75 W moves 300 lb at 9.7 mph, and 150 W moves it at 13.7 mph.
Which gear saves battery on a front hub?
None does directly: the motor turns with the front wheel, so your seven gears change how fast your legs spin and leave the battery's draw to speed, grade and pedaling. Pick the gear that lets you turn the pedals easily, because your own watts are what stretch the pack, as the table shows.
| Speed and grade | Throttle only | 75 W from your legs | 150 W from your legs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 mph, level | 66 mi | your legs alone | your legs alone |
| 8 mph, 4% grade | 12 mi | 19 mi | 36 mi |
| 8 mph, 8% grade | 5 mi | 7 mi | 9 mi |
| 12 mph, level | 50 mi | 126 mi | your legs alone |
| 12 mph, 4% grade | 12 mi | 15 mi | 21 mi |
| 12 mph, 8% grade | 5 mi | 6 mi | 8 mi |
| 15 mph, level | 40 mi | 66 mi | 161 mi |
| 15 mph, 4% grade | 11 mi | 14 mi | 17 mi |
| 15 mph, 8% grade | beyond the motor | beyond the motor | 7 mi |
| 20 mph, level | 27 mi | 34 mi | 46 mi |
| 20 mph, 4% grade | beyond the motor | beyond the motor | 12 mi |
| 20 mph, 8% grade | beyond the motor | beyond the motor | beyond the motor |
Conditions: 300 lb, 77 °F, the tires and riding position of the speed table, one speed held on one grade for the whole pack. "Beyond the motor" marks a speed and grade the 750 W hub cannot sustain with that much pedaling.
Does going uphill drain it faster?
Yes, and quickly: with 300 lb in all on the throttle you hold 15.5 mph up a 6% grade and 11.0 mph on 10%, and 1,000 feet of climbing at 6 mph on a 4% grade takes about 228 Wh, over a third of the pack. Each row below is the fastest steady speed the hub holds on that grade, with the miles the pack lasts there.

Conditions: 300 lb on one unbroken paved grade at 77 °F; the miles assume you spend the entire charge climbing it.
| Grade | Battery per 1,000 ft climbed at 6 mph, throttle | With 75 W from your legs |
|---|---|---|
| 4% | 228 Wh | 133 Wh |
| 6% | 268 Wh | 176 Wh |
| 8% | 316 Wh | 218 Wh |
| 10% | 378 Wh | 266 Wh |
300 lb total at a steady 6 mph. Gravity alone asks 113 Wh at the wheel to lift 300 lb by 1,000 feet; the rest goes to rolling, air and a motor pulling slowly and hard.
Does a heavier load cut the range?
Yes, only slightly on level ground and far more uphill: level at 12 mph, 250 lb in all computes to 54 miles and 450 lb to 41. Pick your row by adding the trike, whose weight is not in DWMEIGI's documents, to yourself and your cargo.
| Rider, cargo and trike | 12 mph, level | 12 mph, level, 25% kept | Fastest level speed, throttle | 8 mph, 4% grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 lb | 54 mi | 41 mi | 20.0 mph | 15 mi |
| 300 lb | 50 mi | 38 mi | 20.0 mph | 12 mi |
| 350 lb | 47 mi | 35 mi | 20.0 mph | 10 mi |
| 400 lb | 43 mi | 33 mi | 20.0 mph | 8 mi |
| 450 lb | 41 mi | 30 mi | 20.0 mph | 7 mi |
Throttle only, 77 °F. The manual's limit, "Maximum load capacity = 330lbs.", covers you and your cargo; these rows add the trike's own weight on top of that.
Does cold weather drain it?
Yes: 50 miles at 77 °F becomes about 40 at freezing and 36 at 14 °F on the same 12 mph throttle ride, since the cells hold back energy in the cold and denser air resists the trike more. Keep the pack inside between rides in winter; DWMEIGI's manual already has you charging in a dry, ventilated place.
| Air temperature | Miles at 12 mph, throttle | Cell-data bracket |
|---|---|---|
| 95 °F | 53 mi | — |
| 77 °F | 50 mi | — |
| 68 °F | 48 mi | — |
| 50 °F | 43 mi | — |
| 41 °F | 41 mi | — |
| 32 °F | 40 mi | 35–41 mi |
| 14 °F | 36 mi | 17–36 mi |
300 lb total, level, the cells at air temperature. DWMEIGI says Samsung and gives no cell model, so the middle figure stands on a representative 18650 cell, and the bracket shows how far published cell data spreads at that temperature.
Do the 24 x 2.4 tires cut range?
Not by much if the tire rolls well: at 12 mph the range spans 51 miles on a slick to 41 on a tire one standard deviation harder to roll than the commuter average. DWMEIGI's manual wants the sidewall pressure set before every ride, so make that part of leaving the house.
| Tire case | Rolling resistance | 12 mph, throttle | 15 mph, throttle |
|---|---|---|---|
| slick tires, 137 everyday riders | 0.0070 | 51 mi | 41 mi |
| commuter tires, 273 everyday riders (used) | 0.0074 | 50 mi | 40 mi |
| commuter tires, one standard deviation up | 0.0107 | 41 mi | 34 mi |
300 lb total, level, 77 °F, throttle only. Rolling resistance from Tengattini and Bigazzi (2018), field measurements of everyday riders' tires; DWMEIGI names Kenda and no tread.
| Riding position | Drag area | 12 mph, throttle | 15 mph, throttle |
|---|---|---|---|
| upright cruiser riders (used) | 0.640 m² | 50 mi | 40 mi |
| everyday mountain-bike riders | 0.603 m² | 52 mi | 41 mi |
This is the same ride at a more forward rider's drag area; the measured figures leave out the frontal area of this trike's two rear wheels and baskets.
What ride do DWMEIGI's 30 and 50 miles describe?
DWMEIGI's 30 miles on pure electric is a brisk ride in our model: at 300 lb in all on level pavement, the same energy per mile, 20.8 Wh, is a steady 18.6 mph on the throttle. At 12 mph the same pack computes to 50 miles, so DWMEIGI's figure leaves room for a slower rider.
DWMEIGI's 50 miles in pedal-assisted mode (product page) fits an easy ride: the throttle alone reaches about 50 at 12 mph, and at 15 mph about 38 watts from your legs bring the pack to 50 miles. DWMEIGI gives each figure a mode; your speed and weight come from the tables above.
Send sales@redtailebikes.com your weight, your pace and your usual route, and we will model that ride for you before you order. Or order the green Silverado Urban here at $2,299; blue carries the same 624 Wh pack.
Buy the green Urban, 624 WhHow the range figures are computed
We take the road power formula of Martin and colleagues (1998), divide by the motor's and battery's efficiency to get the energy a steady mile draws, and divide that into the 624 Wh pack. Wheel power is speed multiplied by the rolling, gravity and air forces together: P = v·[m·g·(Crr·cos θ + sin θ) + ½·ρ·CdA·v²].

Worked ride, in metric: 136.1 kg (300 lb) at 5.36 m/s (12 mph) spends 53.0 W on rolling and 58.5 W on air, 111.5 W in all at the wheel.
At 163 rpm and 6.5 N·m the hub runs at 77% efficiency, so it pulls 144.6 W from the pack, and at 97% battery efficiency the cells supply 149.3 W. Spread over 12 mph that is 12.4 Wh a mile, and 624 Wh at that rate is 50 level throttle miles at 300 lb in all, or 38 with a quarter held back.
The model reproduces the 45.7 W of rolling and gravity power in Martin and colleagues' worked ride, their 23.6 W plus 22.1 W, and the motor's efficiency at its rated point equals the 80% floor the comparable's maker publishes (Bafang OEM workbook, 2021).
The number to plan on: 38 miles at 12 mph on level pavement for 300 lb in all, on the throttle, with 25% of the pack kept in reserve. Climbing 1,000 feet on a 4% grade at 6 mph takes about 228 Wh of the 624 Wh, so check the hill table if your route is not flat.
Reverse, a rear differential and two parking brakes
The reverse gear is a rocker marked R and D at your left thumb, and it backs the trike up under power, so a 76-inch machine leaves a tight spot without you pushing it. The manual's parts list calls the pod the "Reverse&Turning Signal&Horn Button" (manual), and DWMEIGI's page lists "The riding/reverse gear".

The left grip in DWMEIGI's close-up: the R and D rocker sits inside the grip, the display remote beside it, the signal switch below.
Is reverse worth having? If you park nose-in, yes: DWMEIGI's size table makes this trike 76 inches long and 31 across, and backing it out by hand means walking all of that around you. Our Addmotor Citytri E-310 review covers a folding trike that goes without one. If you ride straight in and straight out, you can live without it; if you do not, the Silverado Urban's listing has both colors.

The right grip: the Shimano shifter above, the thumb throttle below, the brake lever ahead of both.
DWMEIGI's page also lists "The clever rear differential", which it says gives "superior stability and confidence in the corners": in a bend the outside wheel covers more ground than the inside one, and the differential allows for that. A trike stays flat in a corner, so slow before the turn; DWMEIGI's rear wheels stand 31 inches apart.
The parking brake is a lever, and DWMEIGI's page counts "two parking brakes". Set one before you step on or off, since a trike with no rider and no brake can roll on a slope.
Discs on all three wheels and a fork with a lock
DWMEIGI's card says "TEBOKA Disc Brakes with Three-wheel Dics & Parking Brake", and its page gives "180mm front and rear brakes": three disc brakes, one on every wheel, with two parking brakes beside them. The manual has both levers cutting the motor as they are pulled (product page, manual).

The front fork in DWMEIGI's photograph; DWMEIGI's parts card calls it a MOZO hydraulic fork with a lock switch.
The fork is the only suspension DWMEIGI's page names on this model, "MOZO Hydraulic Front Suspension with Lock Switch". The saddle below your hips is a wide one with a backrest, and DWMEIGI's photographs show a spring under it. For springs at both ends, our Blazer review covers the same price.

The saddle and backrest: DWMEIGI's manual calls the backrest adjustable.
Lights and signals come with it: "front and rear lights with turn signals" on DWMEIGI's page, a horn, and the signal switch at your left hand.
Does it fold, and will it fit your space?
DWMEIGI calls this a "step-through and folding frame", and the part its manual shows moving is the stem: "Push the stem safety clasp and open the quick-release lever". Plan your space on the unfolded numbers, 76 inches long and 31 inches across the rear wheels, and send us your narrowest gate or garage door before you order.
If your plan is a car trunk or an RV bay, start with a trike whose maker prints a folded size. Our Addmotor Triketan M-330F review covers one at 46 × 33 × 30 inches without its saddle, and our Citytri E-310 review a Standard frame at 45.3 × 33.9 × 28.7 inches. Ask us and we will request DWMEIGI's folding steps for the Urban before you order.
Keep it indoors where you can and take the key with you. The manual says "Shut the power “OFF” and pull out the key of the battery case while parking", and warns against leaving it in sun or rain "for a long time".
Baskets: a front rack and a bagged rear basket
The size table lists a front basket of 12 × 11 × 5 inches and a rear basket of 19 × 15 × 10, about 58 liters together by our arithmetic, and whatever you load counts with your own weight against DWMEIGI's 330 lb. DWMEIGI's MG2301 page prints the same two sizes and calls them "58L big storage space".

DWMEIGI's Green, a dark teal, in its studio photograph: the rear bag sits inside the basket frame.
If your loads run past that, the cargo trike in our Addmotor Greattan D review is rated to 500 lb.
Assembly: what comes out of the box
Plan on building it, or on paying a shop to: the manual's parts list has the wheels, three fenders, the frame, the battery, the baskets, the backrest saddle and a hardware bag, and its steps run from the rear fenders to the battery. DWMEIGI's video, How to Assemble DWMEIGI SILVERADO&SILVERADO HD Electric Tricycle?, walks through it.
DWMEIGI's warranty policy recommends professional assembly and leaves out damage from improper assembly, so a mechanic on delivery day is money well spent if tools are not your thing. Our shop directory lists shops by state.
The Mercer fit test
The Mercers, our editorial cast, are seven people of fixed heights and ages, and this is how the Silverado Urban fits each of them. Each verdict here reads DWMEIGI's printed numbers or a row from this page's fit and range models.
| Member | Verdict | The number behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Frank Kowalski, 63, 5'10" | Steps on easily; the saddle runs short | 18.2 inches or more of clearance for 95 of 100 riders; 28 of 100 at 5'10" reach 109% of inseam and 70 of 100 reach 106% |
| Ruth Kowalski, 61, 5'5" | A close fit | 99 of 100 riders at 5'5" reach 109%, with 15.7 inches or more of clearance for 95 of 100 |
| Jack Mercer, 48, 6'1" | Too tall for this seat | 2 of 100 riders at 6'1" reach 109% and 7 of 100 reach 106%; the rest sit a median of about 2.4 inches low |
| Dana Mercer, 45, 5'7" | Fits the errand run | 87 of 100 riders at 5'7" reach 109%; she and her shopping share the 330 lb limit |
| Maya Torres, 32, 5'6" | Fits | 94 of 100 riders at 5'6" reach 109%; the throttle holds 15.5 mph up a 6% grade at 300 lb in all |
| Cole Mercer, 16, 5'11" | Not yet | DWMEIGI's manual: "Don't let children under the age of 18 ride the bike." |
| Ivy Mercer, 12, height not used | No | The same manual line; she is six years short of it |
Ages follow the Mercers' family profile, and heights are the ones those members are cast at. Fit rows come from this page's model at each height, on ANSUR II bodies, and the age line from DWMEIGI's manual.
The sharpest contrast sits in one household: Ruth at 5'5" has the post's range to spare, while her husband Frank at 5'10" is at its last inch. Jack at 6'1" is past it, and the sliding seat in our Arisetan II M-360 review is the one to read.
Is the DWMEIGI Silverado Urban UL certified?
If a landlord, a building manager or a city wants certification papers, tell us before you order, and we will ask DWMEIGI in writing. The charger carries the UL mention on DWMEIGI's page: "3A AC 100V-240V UL Charger,US".
UL 2849 is what UL Solutions calls "the Standard for Electrical Systems for eBikes", a certification reached "by examining the electrical drive train, battery, and charger system combinations in e-bikes". For the whole trike, the paper worth asking for names the MG2302 by model.
Has the DWMEIGI Silverado Urban been recalled?
No. On November 6, 2026, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall and warning records had no entry naming DWMEIGI, MEIGI or the MG2302. That read covered all 10,082 recall records, 382 public safety warnings and the recall feed, for those three names.
| Check | Result, November 6, 2026 |
|---|---|
| CPSC recalls, all 10,082, for DWMEIGI, MEIGI or MG2302 | None found |
| CPSC public safety warnings, all 382, for the same names | None found |
| CPSC recall feed, October 8 to November 5, 2026 | None found |
Source: the CPSC's recall service and files; the latest recall there carried November 5, 2026. The same search does return the Ancheer and Specialized recalls on record, so the empty result here means what it says.
Is the Silverado Urban street legal? 750 W, 25 mph, three wheels
At the 25 mph DWMEIGI prints, the Silverado Urban sits outside the e-bike definition in 48 states and DC; under 20 mph it would sit inside in 24 states and DC. Ask us what top speed your trike is set to when it ships, then open your state's page from our state-by-state guide.
| Verdict | At DWMEIGI's 25 mph | Under 20 mph |
|---|---|---|
| Inside the definition | None | 24 states and DC: CA, CO, DC, DE, GA, HI, IA, IN, MA, MD, MI, MN, NC, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SC, SD, UT, VA, WA, WI |
| Outside the definition | 48 states and DC | 22 states: AL, AR, AZ, FL, ID, IL, KS, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NH, NJ, NY, OH, RI, TN, TX, VT, WV, WY |
| Not settled | None | CT, PA |
| No statutory definition | AK, KY | AK, KY |
Screened November 6, 2026, against each jurisdiction's definition: DWMEIGI's 750 W, a thumb throttle, three wheels. 25 mph is DWMEIGI's figure; "under 20 mph" is the law's line, a figure DWMEIGI does not print for this model. This is a summary and not legal advice, and each state's page links the statute itself.
The 750 W label matters: 19 of the 22 states outside under 20 mph limit the motor to "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts, and a 750 W rating misses that at any speed.
The rule applies to every e-bike labeled 750 W, and it puts Texas, Florida, New York and Ohio on that list (Tex. Transp. Code § 664.001, Fla. Stat. § 316.003, N.Y. VTL § 102-c, Ohio R.C. 4511.01).
Three more turn on other words. Montana's definition reads "two tandem wheels" (MCA § 61-8-102(7)), Rhode Island's "a two-wheel (2) vehicle" (R.I. Gen. Laws § 31-1-3), and New Jersey counts a bike whose throttle moves it on the motor alone as a motorized bicycle under P.L.2025, c.285.
Two stay open. Connecticut's text leaves a three-wheeler unsettled (C.G.S. § 14-1), and Pennsylvania's pedalcycle stops at a "vehicle weighing not more than 100 pounds" (75 Pa.C.S. § 102), a line no published weight lets us test.
Federal law calls a low-speed electric bicycle "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)", with a motor-only top speed under 20 mph (15 U.S.C. § 2085(b)). Alaska's motor vehicle definitions (AS 28.90.990) and Kentucky's traffic definitions (KRS 189.010) define no e-bike, and our state-by-state guide walks the rest.
On federal land the managing agency decides where this trike may go, and riding off its designated routes carries a criminal penalty. National Forest System rules count "Any vehicle which is self-propelled" as a motor vehicle, rail vehicles and mobility devices aside (36 CFR § 212.1).
| Federal land | Where it may go | The penalty |
|---|---|---|
| National Forest System | Routes on the forest's motor vehicle use map: "it is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle ... other than in accordance with those designations" (36 CFR § 261.13) | "imprisonment of not more than six months or a fine in accordance with the applicable provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3571 or both" (36 CFR § 261.1b) |
| Bureau of Land Management | Areas and trails "designated as open to off-road vehicle use" (43 CFR § 8341.1), unless it counts as a bicycle there | "a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not longer than 12 months, or both" (43 CFR § 8340.0-7) |
Read through the eCFR, current text. Federal ground has its own maps, so find your route on the motor vehicle use map for that forest, or in the BLM field office's designations, before you go.
On BLM land an e-bike is treated as a bicycle only on routes "upon which mechanized, non-motorized use is allowed", and only where the authorized officer "has expressly determined" it (43 CFR § 8340.0-5(a)(5)).
DWMEIGI's manual puts the rider's minimum age at 18, whatever your state allows.
Before your first ride: know your trike's set top speed, find your state in the table above, and check a federal route's designation before you ride it.
Green flags / Red flags
Green flags rest on DWMEIGI's documents and this page's models; a red flag says who this trike does not suit and which of our pages to read next.
Green flags
- A 14-inch step with a backrest saddle above it, in DWMEIGI's words "friendly for women, the elderly and people with knee problems".
- Reverse on a thumb rocker, with a rear differential and two parking brakes.
- A disc on every wheel, 180 mm by DWMEIGI's page.
- A near-upright seat: 1 to 8 degrees of lean for the median rider, and about 4 to 11 lb on each hand.
- 50 computed miles on level pavement: 12 mph, throttle only, 300 lb in all.
- A two-year frame warranty under DWMEIGI's warranty policy.
- The same $2,299 at both stores, read November 6, 2026.
Red flags (who should read another of ours)
- Riders of 5'10" and up: the post stops at 40 inches. At 5'10", our Grandtan M-340 review reads 43 of 100 at the formula height; above 6'0", our Arisetan II M-360 review covers a seat that slides.
- Riders under about 5'2": the seat starts at 34 inches; our Silverado HD review and our MG708 Hera review start at 32.
- A trike that lives in a car trunk: our Citytri E-310 review gives folded dimensions to measure your trunk against.
- Steep loose climbs: all the motor's pull is on the front tire, so our Grandtan Turbo review is the better read, a mid-drive trike.
- Sand and soft ground: its tires are 2.4 inches wide; our Silverado HD review covers 4-inch tires.
- Riders under 18: DWMEIGI's manual rules them out, whatever your state allows; our state-by-state guide has your state's own age line.
Buy it if / Buy something else if
Buy the Silverado Urban if your height falls between about 5'2" and 5'8", you want one low step, an upright seat, reverse and a disc on every wheel for paved streets and paths, and you like the idea of three wheels at every stop; 1,000 miles a year at 12 mph adds about $2.26 to your power bill.
Buy something else if you stand 6'0" or taller (the Addmotor Arisetan II M-360), you need it in a car trunk (the Addmotor Citytri E-310), or $800 matters more on short, flat errands (the DWMEIGI MG708 Hera). Line it up against its siblings in DWMEIGI's collection on our store or against the electric trikes we carry.
The green Silverado Urban checks out here; blue has the same step, seat and pack. Shipping is free within the contiguous United States, and sales@redtailebikes.com typically replies within one business day.
Buy it in green, $2,299Before you buy: the checklist
Run these seven checks first, from your inseam and heaviest load to your steepest street, your state's rule and the door the trike must pass.
- ☐ Your inseam taken and checked against the saddle table.
- ☐ You and your heaviest cargo weighed together, at 330 lb or under.
- ☐ Your steepest climb found in the hill table.
- ☐ Your state's row read in the class section, and your trike's top speed confirmed with us.
- ☐ Your narrowest gate or garage door measured against 31 inches across and 76 long.
- ☐ A dry place to charge, since the manual wants the charger and battery "in a dry and ventilated condition".
- ☐ A shop lined up for the build if you would rather not do it yourself; our shop directory lists them by state.

Ask us before you orderFrequently asked questions
Is the DWMEIGI Silverado Urban good for seniors?
For a senior of about 5'2" to 5'8", yes on the numbers: a 14-inch step, a backrest, a near-upright seat and three wheels at every stop. One verified owner, 66, with inner-ear and vision problems, rates it five stars on DWMEIGI's page. Taller seniors should read the saddle table first.
What size rider fits the Silverado Urban?
Riders of about 5'2" to 5'8" fit best. A median 5'4" rider in ANSUR II has a 30.5-inch inseam and needs the saddle 37.2 inches above the ground, inside the 34 to 40 inch post. At 5'10", 28 of 100 riders reach 109% of inseam. The fit tables give every height.
How far can the Silverado Urban go on one charge?
The 624 Wh pack computes to 50 miles, or 38 with a quarter in reserve, at 12 mph on the throttle over level pavement with 300 lb of rider, cargo and trike. At 15 mph it is 40 miles. DWMEIGI's own ratings are 30 miles on pure electric and 50 in pedal-assisted mode.
Does the Silverado Urban have a reverse gear?
Yes. "The riding/reverse gear" is on DWMEIGI's product page, and its photographs show a rocker marked R and D at the left grip. It backs the trike up under power, which saves pushing a 76-inch machine out of a tight spot. Our Citytri E-310 review covers a folding trike that has none.
Is reverse worth having on an electric trike?
If you park nose-in in a garage or a driveway, yes: at 76 inches long and 31 across, this trike is a lot to walk backward by hand. If your route lets you ride straight in and straight out, reverse matters less. See the controls section.
What is the difference between the Silverado Urban and the Silverado HD?
The Urban (MG2302) rolls on 24 × 2.4 inch tires with a 34 to 40 inch seat at $2,299. The Silverado HD (MG2301) has 20 × 4.0 inch fat tires and a 32 to 38 inch seat at $2,899. They share the 14-inch step and reverse gear. The comparison table lists the rest.
Does the Silverado Urban fold?
DWMEIGI's page calls it a "step-through and folding frame", and its manual shows the stem dropping on a quick-release lever. Plan on 76 inches long and 31 across the rear wheels; the folding section names two trikes with a printed folded size.
Will it fit in a car, an RV or a trailer?
Measure first: DWMEIGI's size table gives 76 inches long and 31 inches across the rear wheels, drawn with the stem up. For a car trunk, our Triketan M-330F review covers a trike with a printed folded size of 46 × 33 × 30 inches without its saddle.
How much does the Silverado Urban weigh?
DWMEIGI's page, record, card and manual print no weight for this trike, so we print none. That is why the range tables run on the total on the road. If you need to lift it, say so when you write, and we will put the question to DWMEIGI.
What is the Silverado Urban's weight limit?
DWMEIGI's manual says "Maximum load capacity = 330lbs.", which covers you and your cargo together. At 250 lb, that leaves you 80 lb of cargo. For more, our Greattan D review covers a cargo trike rated higher.
How fast does the Silverado Urban go?
DWMEIGI's page says "up to 25MPH", and it prints no lower default for this model. At 25 mph on a thumb throttle it sits outside the e-bike definition in 48 states and DC, so ask us what top speed your trike is set to when it ships. The class section lists each state.
Is a 750 W electric tricycle street legal?
It depends on your state's words: held under 20 mph, this trike falls inside the definition in 24 states and DC and outside it in 22 states, 19 of them because their limit is "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts. The class section names each one. Not legal advice.
Can the Silverado Urban climb hills?
Yes on paved grades: carrying 300 lb in all, it holds 15.5 mph up a 6% grade, 11.0 mph on 10% and 7.8 mph on 15% on the throttle. Climbing eats the pack, about 228 Wh per 1,000 feet on a 4% grade at 6 mph. The hill table has every grade.
How long does the Silverado Urban's battery take to charge?
DWMEIGI's page says "4-5 hrs" and its manual "about 4-6 hours" on the 3 A charger, so plan on six. Charge the pack on the trike or off it; each full charge runs about 11 cents at the US average residential price.
Can you replace the Silverado Urban's battery?
Yes. It unlocks with the key and lifts out of the front frame. Our listing sells DWMEIGI's 48 V 14 Ah pack for the MG2301 and MG2302 at $598.80 on November 6, 2026; the Urban's page prints 13 Ah, so ask us about fit first.
How hard is the Silverado Urban to assemble?
It takes tools: wheels, fenders, stem, baskets, saddle and pedals all go on, and DWMEIGI's video walks through them. DWMEIGI's warranty policy recommends professional assembly, so book a mechanic if you would rather not.
Are electric trikes more stable than regular bikes?
At a stop and at walking pace, yes: three wheels hold a trike up with no balancing from you. In a corner a trike stays flat where a bike leans, so slow before the turn. The Silverado Urban's rear wheels stand 31 inches apart, and a differential lets them turn at different speeds.
Limitations of this review
Two computed models and DWMEIGI's documents carry this review, and each item below says where that basis stops, so you can judge the figures for yourself.
- This page sells the trike it reviews, so read the red flags above with that in mind.
- The range figures assume steady riding with no stops, no wind and no loose ground, and the model has no measured ride of this trike to be checked against.
- The range tables run on total weight because no document read on November 6, 2026, prints a weight for the Silverado Urban, so the trike's own share stays unknown until one is weighed.
- DWMEIGI's page names no motor maker for this model, so our model runs a comparable hub's published efficiency curve with the 750 W and 48 V DWMEIGI prints.
- DWMEIGI names Kenda and no tread, so the tire rows use measured averages for commuter tires.
- DWMEIGI names no cell model, so the cold rows take a representative 18650 cell and assume it sits at air temperature.
- A measured pedelec supplies the 25% reserve, because DWMEIGI's manual sets no percentage and says to pedal on when the battery runs low.
- The bracket height, crank, post angle and grips are measured on DWMEIGI's size photograph, not published; the crank reads 169 to 178 mm depending on where the pedal sits in the frame's depth.
- The fit bodies were measured from 2010 to 2012 among US Army personnel of 17 to 58, so no rider over 58 is among them; take the saddle formula as a starting point.
- The hand figures are ceilings with the back relaxed, and the cockpit is the one DWMEIGI photographed, with the sit point bracketed from the saddle's shape.
- Two charging times appear in DWMEIGI's documents, 4 to 5 hours and about 4 to 6, and this page prints both. Its manual is shared with the MG2301, and its photographs show the fat-tire model.
- DWMEIGI prints no folded size or folding sequence for the MG2302 in the page, record or manual read on November 6, 2026, and it prints 13 Ah for the trike's pack and 14 Ah for the spare it lists for the MG2302.
- We screened each state's definition on November 6, 2026; laws move, so check your state's page for the current text. "Under 20 mph" is the law's line, and DWMEIGI prints no setting below 25 mph for this model.
- Three owner reviews are few, and one owner's experience is one owner's.
The bottom line
The DWMEIGI MG2302 Silverado Urban is a $2,299 electric tricycle with a 14-inch step, reverse on a thumb rocker, a disc on every wheel and a 624 Wh pack. At 12 mph on level pavement, throttle only and 300 lb in all, it computes to 50 miles, and 1,000 such miles cost about $2.26 of electricity.
Buy it to keep riding on three wheels at your own pace, if your height falls between about 5'2" and 5'8" and your streets are paved; riders of 5'10" and up, or anyone who needs a trike that fits a car, will do better with another of ours, and the age line in DWMEIGI's manual is 18. Take your time, and measure your inseam first.
The $2,299 blue Silverado Urban ships free within the contiguous United States; green is the same price. Questions first? sales@redtailebikes.com answers before you pay.
