960 Wh · 500 W · 20 mph · $2,499 · 60–100 mi · 440 lb load · 85.9 lb · 32.7" wide · hydraulic discs · verified August 28, 2026
Quick Answer — The Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 is a $2,499 folding electric trike with a 48V 500W front hub motor, a 48V 20Ah Samsung pack, hydraulic disc brakes and a 440 lb load capacity. It replaces a trike Electric Bike Review tested in a 160mm-rotor version, and we found no published test of this generation. Against its own predecessor's archived spec it carries 60% more battery, better brakes, and 2.2 lb less weight, at the same price. One thing to settle before you order: Eunorau publishes a 4–6 hour charge time and a 2.0A charger on the same spec sheet, and those two numbers cannot both describe a 960 Wh pack.

Takeaway
- 60% more battery than the 1.0 — 960 Wh against 600 Wh — with the same motor, at the same price. Measured against Eunorau's own archived 1.0 spec instead of its marketing copy.
- It is 2.2 lb lighter than the trike it replaces, at 85.9 lb, while carrying 360 Wh more. On a machine you manoeuvre in a garage, that is the number you will feel.
- The brakes became hydraulic. The 2.0's spec says "Hydraulic Oil Brake" on 180mm rotors; the archived 1.0 lists a "Promax Disc Lever" on 160mm rotors and never uses the word hydraulic. On 85.9 lb carrying up to 440 lb, that is the upgrade we would have asked for first.
- The published charge time does not match the published charger. Eunorau lists "BATTERY CHARGING TIME: 4 - 6 hours" and "US standard 2.0 A smart charger" in the same block. A 2.0A charger delivers 96 W, which fills 960 Wh in 10.0 hours. Ask which is right before you order.
- 32.7 inches wide. The number that decides whether it fits through your side gate, and it sits in a geometry diagram rather than the spec list.

Who the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 is for

The NEW-TRIKE 2.0 in Deep Crimson. The pack behind the seatpost is the 960 Wh unit that replaced the 1.0's 600 Wh.
Someone who wants to keep riding and has stopped enjoying the part where a two-wheeler has to be balanced at a stop.
That is not a small audience and it is badly served. Across the eight machines reviewed on this site, the two oldest members of our test family have been given four yeses between them — and every one of those yeses was a step-through frame they still have to balance at a stop.
A trike changes the answer, because what it removes is not effort. It is the moment of instability when you put a foot down on gravel with a bag of shopping on the front.

Eunorau's own riding photograph. Note the saddle: no backrest fitted on this machine, where every studio frame on this page has one. The backrest is new on the 2.0 and it is the part that changes how you sit — worth confirming yours ships with it.
It suits you if you want three wheels, a 440 lb load capacity, a folding frame you can get into a truck bed, and a battery big enough that range stops being something you think about.
It is the wrong machine if you need to lift it — 85.9 lb is a trike's weight; a bicycle it is not. It is also wrong if you have no ground-floor storage and a narrow doorway, though at 32.7 inches wide it clears more doorways than most of this category.
How we verified this review
What we did. We archived Eunorau's own NEW-TRIKE 2.0 product page on 28 August 2026 and read every published specification from that deposit copy. We then downloaded and opened every image the page links rather than only its gallery, which is where the geometry figures below come from — the width, the weight and nine frame measurements are published in a diagram rather than in the spec list.
How we got the predecessor's numbers. The comparison in this review is the reason to read it, and it nearly could not be written: Eunorau has retired the 1.0 product page and it returns HTTP 404. So we recovered the Internet Archive's snapshot of that page from 20 March 2025, archived it alongside our own deposit copies, and read the 1.0's specification from there. Every 1.0 figure below comes from that dated document rather than from Eunorau's description of its own old product.
What we computed. Pack energy, the generation deltas, the charge times and the range bands. Script and dataset saved and re-runnable.
Sole publisher. Almost every specification here exists only in Eunorau's own publication. The one independent review we could retrieve — Electric Bike Review's, updated December 2024 — covers the earlier 160mm-rotor generation. We found no published test of the 2.0 on 28 August 2026, and we grade that as a search result rather than a fact, because there is no denominator for every review ever published.
What we have put to Eunorau, and what is still open. Five questions decide things this page cannot: the charger's actual rated output, the step-through height, the folded dimensions, whether the 440 lb capacity includes the machine, and the UL certificate with its standard number. As of 28 August 2026 those questions are outstanding and we have had no reply. We will publish each answer here as it arrives, and we will obtain any one of them on request before you buy.
What we did not do. We have not ridden it. No handling, comfort or stability verdict appears below — which counts for more than usual on a trike, because ride feel is most of what a trike is bought for.
Neutrality. Redtail sells this machine. The honest ledger carries what does not flatter it. Corrections: corrections@redtailebikes.com.

Side on, the shape of the thing is obvious: the top tube drops away entirely between the saddle and the head tube. Eunorau does not publish how low.

See the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 — $2,4991.0 to 2.0: what actually changed
The reviews of this trike are reviews of the older one.
Electric Bike Review's NEW-TRIKE review, last updated 23 December 2024, lists the brakes as "Z.Star Mechanic Disc with 160mm Rotors" — the earlier generation, since the 2.0 runs hydraulics on 180mm.
We searched for a test of this generation on 28 August 2026 and did not find one; that is the result of our searching rather than a certainty, and our source register grades it as such. A buyer comparing the two is likely reading about a different trike.
Here is the comparison, from two dated primary documents — Eunorau's live 2.0 page, and the Internet Archive's copy of the 1.0 page from 20 March 2025.
| NEW-TRIKE 1.0 (archived Mar 2025) | NEW-TRIKE 2.0 (Aug 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 48V 12.5Ah — 600 Wh | 48V 20Ah Samsung — 960 Wh |
| Claimed range | 30–40 miles | 60–100 miles |
| Brakes | "Promax Disc Lever"; EUNORAU 160mm rotors | "Hydraulic Oil Brake"; hydraulic 180mm rotors |
| Weight | 88.1 lb | 85.9 lb |
| Tires | CST 20 × 3.0 | INNOVA 20 × 3.0 |
| Motor | 48V 500W, 80 N·m | 48V 500W, 80 N·m — unchanged |
| Charger | 2.0A | 2.0A — unchanged |
| Published charge time | none published | 4–6 hours — see below |
| Sensor | none listed | Cadence sensor |
| Shipping box | 122 × 89 × 76.2 cm | 106 × 62 × 73 cm |
| Saddle height to ground | 32.7"–40.2" | 32.7"–40.2" — unchanged |
| Also new | — | Adjustable backrest, parking brake |
Three things fall out of that table.
The battery grew 60%, not the 54% the marketing implies. Eunorau's 2.0 copy describes the upgrade as coming from "the initial 13Ah." Its own archived 1.0 page says 48V/12.5Ah. The real gain is larger than the claim — 600 Wh to 960 Wh — and we mention the discrepancy only because we would rather show you where every number came from than round one quietly, and both documents are linked here.
It got lighter while getting a bigger battery. 88.1 lb down to 85.9 lb, carrying 360 Wh more. Two pounds is not much in the abstract, and it is a great deal when you are walking an 86 lb trike backwards up a garage ramp.
The brakes went hydraulic. The archived 1.0 lists a "Promax Disc Lever" and "EUNORAU Design 160MM Disc Brakes" and never uses the word hydraulic; the 2.0 says "Hydraulic Oil Brake with Motor Cut-Off Sensor & Parking Brake" on 180mm rotors. On a machine that weighs 85.9 lb before you add a rider and up to 440 lb of load, that is the single change we would have asked for first, and it arrived at the same price.
The generation the reviews missed. 60% more battery, hydraulic brakes, two pounds lighter, same price as the 1.0. Ask us if you want the standover measured before you order — we will get it in writing.
Order the 2.0 — $2,499The charge time that does not add up
Before you order, ask Eunorau which of its own two numbers is right. The spec block lists, four lines apart:
Charger: US standard 2.0 A smart charger · BATTERY CHARGING TIME: 4 - 6 hours
Those cannot both describe a 960 Wh pack. A 48V charger drawing 2.0A delivers 96 watts, and 960 Wh at 96 W is 10.0 hours. To fill the same pack in 4 to 6 hours you need 160 to 240 watts — a 3.3A to 5.0A charger at 48 volts, well above a 2.0A one.
| Pack | Charger as published | Hours | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEW-TRIKE 1.0 | 600 Wh | 48V 2.0A = 96 W | 6.3 (our arithmetic; the 1.0 page publishes no charge time) |
| NEW-TRIKE 2.0 | 960 Wh | 48V 2.0A = 96 W | 10.0 (our arithmetic) |
| NEW-TRIKE 2.0 | 960 Wh | implied by Eunorau's 4–6 hours | 4–6 — needs a 3.3–5.0A charger |
The arithmetic is a floor either way, because lithium charging tapers as a pack fills and the last stretch is the slowest.

The 48V 20Ah pack sits behind the seatpost, under the adjustable backrest, instead of in the down tube. It lifts out for charging, which helps if the trike lives in a garage and the outlet does not.
One of two things is true, and both are worth knowing. Either the trike ships with a faster charger than the spec line says — good news, and the number to have in writing — or it ships with the 2.0A unit the spec names and a full charge is an overnight job. Ask us and we will get the charger's actual output from Eunorau before you pay.
Neither answer is a reason to avoid the machine. Almost nobody runs a 960 Wh pack flat in a day; on the range figures below, a typical outing puts back two or three hours even at 96 W. The difference shows up if your habit is to ride, top up over lunch and set off again — that works at 5A and does not at 2A.
The archived 1.0 published the same 2.0A charger and no charge time at all. The figure is new on the 2.0, and so is the discrepancy.
The upgrade, in one line. Sixty percent more battery, hydraulic brakes on 180mm rotors in place of a Promax lever on 160mm ones, a backrest and a parking brake, two pounds lighter, at the price the 1.0 sold for. The open question is the charger: Eunorau publishes 4–6 hours and a 2.0A unit, and only one of those can be true of a 960 Wh pack.
What $2,499 buys against the field
When we ran an AI-search panel on folding trikes for seniors on 28 August 2026, the machines it named were Addmotor's Citytri E-310, the Lectric XP Trike 2, the Di Blasi R34, SixThreeZero's Easy Transit and the VICTRIP T1.
We have not opened those makers' spec sheets, and we will not compare specifications we have not verified. The panel's figures are an AI engine's, graded T3, and this page uses them as evidence of what the category gets asked about, and not as evidence about any competitor.
What we can put beside them is this machine's own published number. 960 watt-hours is a large pack for a folding trike, and it is the figure that separates a $2,499 machine from a cheaper one more reliably than any other line on a spec sheet: it is what turns range from something you plan around into something you stop thinking about. The 1.0 sold at the same price with 600 Wh.
If a cheaper trike does what you need on your routes, buy the cheaper trike. The reason to pay $2,499 here is the pack, the hydraulic brakes and the 440 lb capacity, and if none of those three is the thing standing between you and riding, they are not worth the difference.
Range: what to plan on
Eunorau publishes 60–100 miles, which is a wide band and an honest shape for a trike, because consumption on three wheels varies more with load and terrain than it does on two.
The arithmetic below is ours. Nominal pack energy is voltage times amp-hours, and nominal energy is not usable energy, so these are the most generous readings the claim supports.
| How you ride | Wh per mile | Range from 960 Wh |
|---|---|---|
| Light rider, flat ground, low assist | 9.6 | 100 miles — Eunorau's top figure |
| Mixed riding with some load | 16 | 60 miles — Eunorau's bottom figure |
| Heavy load, hills, throttle | 24 | 40 miles |
| Near the 440 lb limit, throttle, headwind | 32 | 30 miles |
Eunorau's published band maps to 9.6–16 Wh per mile, which is a light-to-moderate use case. Load this trike near its 440 lb capacity and ride it on the throttle and the honest planning figure is the bottom two rows.
Plan on 40 to 60 miles for ordinary use with shopping aboard. That is still double what the 1.0 offered, which is the point.
Brakes, and why the change matters here
Eunorau publishes "Hydraulic Oil Brake with Motor Cut-Off Sensor & Parking Brake" on 180mm rotors. The archived 1.0 lists a "Promax Disc Lever with motor cutoff switch" and "EUNORAU Design 160MM Disc Brakes".
The difference is not subtle here, and the reason is mass and not speed. A trike at 85.9 lb carrying a rider and up to 440 lb total asks a great deal of a brake.
A caution about the comparison. The 1.0's page never says whether its Promax lever was cable-actuated or hydraulic; it says only "Promax Disc Lever." A Promax disc lever at that price is usually a cable unit and we would expect it to be one, but Eunorau does not publish it and we have not had both machines side by side, so treat that half as our inference. What is published is that the 2.0 says "Hydraulic Oil Brake" and the 1.0 does not.
A hydraulic system also stays consistent as the pads wear, because there is no cable to stretch. We have not measured lever force on either generation and no published measurement exists, so treat the hand-effort advantage as the reason the change is worth having rather than as a figure we can give you.
We have not measured this trike's braking and no published measurement exists from anyone — though the federal floor at 16 CFR § 1512.5 tells you what a compliant machine has to manage.

The front wheel does the driving and the stopping: hub motor inboard, 180mm rotor behind it. The 1.0 carried a 160mm rotor in the same place.
What we can say is what is fitted, and that the change went in the right direction.
Folding, width and storage
Check the width before anything else. Folding is what people search hardest about this category — a US autocomplete harvest we ran on 28 August 2026 returned 158 of 1,392 completions on folding, foldability and how to fold a trike — and the numbers Eunorau publishes answer only part of it.
The frame is 6061 aluminum with a folding main tube, and the machine is 83 cm / 32.7 inches wide and 68.1 inches long unfolded. The width figure comes from Eunorau's geometry diagram, which is linked from the product page and, as far as we can tell, has not appeared in any review.
Measure your own opening against 32.7 inches. We are not going to quote you a standard door width, because the door in question is yours and house-to-house variation is the whole problem. Take a tape to the opening the trike has to clear — the garage side door, the gate, the shed — before you order.
Eunorau does not publish folded dimensions, which is the figure you would want for a truck bed or a storage cupboard. Ask us and we will put the question to Eunorau and publish the answer here. Until then, treat the folding claim as real but unquantified.
It does publish the shipping box: 42 × 25 × 29 inches (106 × 62 × 73 cm). That is not the folded size — a crate is packed around a partly disassembled machine — but it is the box that arrives at your door, and it is worth knowing before delivery day. It is also smaller than the 1.0's 122 × 89 × 76.2 cm carton on every axis.

Fit: what Eunorau publishes and what it does not
Eunorau publishes a saddle height to ground of 32.7" to 40.2" (83–107 cm), a recommended rider height of 5'1" to 6'1" and a full geometry table: seat tube 450mm (17.7in), reach 441mm (17.4in), stack 477mm (18.8in), bracket height 270mm (10.6in).
The saddle drops to 32.7 inches at its lowest, which is the figure to measure your inseam against — and it is published in the components list rather than in the geometry table, which is an easy place to miss it.
What Eunorau does not publish is a standover or step-through measurement, and on this category that is the number that decides everything. The product page calls the frame a step-through and files the trike under a Step-Through tag; the geometry table runs eleven rows — seat tube, reach, head tube, chain stay, bracket height, wheelbase, top tube, total length, stack, weight, width — and none of them is a standover. When we ran an AI-search panel on folding trikes for seniors, every machine the engine named was justified on that figure — "a remarkably low 13.8in standover", "one of the lowest of any electric trike tested". It is the axis this category competes on and it is the one figure missing here.
We are not going to estimate it from the silhouette. Ask us before you order and we will get the measurement from Eunorau in writing. If you have limited hip mobility, that number decides the purchase and it is worth waiting a day for.
Keep two figures straight, because both are 83 cm in the source: 32.7 inches is the trike's width and also its lowest saddle height. Different measurements, same number.

The frame opening that decides the purchase for a lot of buyers — and the one dimension the geometry table does not give a number to. Eyeballing it from a photograph is exactly what we will not do.
If you are new to how these machines are specified, our electric bike buying guide covers what each number on a spec sheet is actually telling you.
The 440 lb load capacity is the other figure worth reading, and it is generous — that is rider plus shopping plus whatever is in both baskets.
The Mercer fit test
The Mercers are our editorial cast — a fixed group of American riders of different ages, heights and lives that every machine on this site is measured against. You can meet them here. Every verdict reads a published number; we have not ridden this trike, so none of them is a ride impression.
The figures doing the work: the published 5'1"–6'1" rider range, the 32.7"–40.2" saddle height to ground, 85.9 lb, 440 lb load capacity, 32.7in width, and three wheels instead of two.
| Member | Verdict | The number behind it |
|---|---|---|
| Frank Kowalski, 63, 5'10" | Yes, and for a reason no previous yes has given him. | 5'10" sits mid-range in the published 5'1"–6'1". Four earlier machines have fitted him and all four were step-throughs — a frame he walks through, then balances at every stop. Three wheels remove the second half. |
| Ruth Kowalski, 61, 5'5" | Yes, with the standover settled first. | 5'5" is comfortably inside the range and the load capacity is no constraint for her. The saddle drops to 32.7in, which she can reach. Her three previous yeses each carried a standover caveat and this page cannot close it either: Eunorau publishes no step-through height. At her mobility that is the deciding number. |
| Jack Mercer, 48, 6'1" | Fits, but it is not his machine. | 6'1" is at the top of the published range. He rides off-road and wants suspension travel; this is a 20 mph utility trike with none. Right size, wrong purpose. |
| Dana Mercer, 45, 5'7" | Strong fit, and the best cargo answer on this site. | 5'7" is mid-range. The 440 lb capacity plus front and rear baskets carry a shop, and three wheels mean she can stop, load and set off without balancing. |
| Maya Torres, 32, 5'6" | Fits, and it depends on her route. | 5'6" is mid-range and Class 2 as delivered is accepted on most bike infrastructure. But at 32.7 inches wide she should check the bike lanes and path bollards on her commute — width is the constraint a two-wheeler never has. |
| Cole Mercer, 16, 5'11" | Fits the frame; check your state. | 5'11" is inside the range, and at 20 mph in Class 2 this is a far more ordinary machine than the dirt bikes elsewhere on this site. Minimum-age rules for throttle e-bikes vary by state — our state guides are the place to start. |
| Ivy Mercer, 12 | No. | Adult sizing and an 85.9 lb machine put it off the table at twelve, whatever her state allows. We publish no height for Ivy, so this row is decided on age and mass. |
Read Frank's row twice, because of what it says about the other eight. Four machines have fitted him and every one was a step-through or low-entry frame, built so he does not swing a leg over a tube. Four said no: two dirt bikes, a 97 lb off-road platform and a 123 lb machine you load by ramp.
What none of the four yeses removed is the balancing, and the published geometry is why: a step-through changes the mount and leaves the stop. A step-through solves the mount; you still hold the machine up at every stop, and that is the part that stops people riding. Three wheels remove it. The machine most likely to keep a 63-year-old riding is the one with the least impressive specification on this site.

Flowers going into a basket on the rear bed while the front basket already holds the groceries. On two wheels this is the moment you need a wall, a kickstand and a free hand.

Check the fit — $2,499"Class 2 speed limited unlockable"
Eunorau's own hero strip for this trike reads: "CLASS: Class 2 Speed limited Unlockable."
Read it in two halves, and the first half is the good news.
As delivered it is a Class 2 electric bike: throttle-assisted, with assistance ending at 20 mph. Most states now sort e-bikes into the same three classes — our 50-state atlas counts forty of them, and forty-one once North Carolina's law starts on 1 December 2026, built on the model definitions PeopleForBikes authored. Adopting the classes is not the same as granting Class 2 the same path access as a bicycle, and that second question is answered state by state, and it is the setting the trike arrives in. Nothing is asked of you.
The second half is the part to think about. "Speed limited unlockable" says the limit can be removed. We have not tested the unlocked speed and Eunorau does not publish it, so we will not guess at a number.
The consequence is what matters: a machine that exceeds 20 mph on throttle falls outside the Class 2 definition in the states that use the three-class system, and outside that definition it stops being treated as a bicycle for access purposes.
On this machine that matters more than it would elsewhere. A trike is bought for stability, it is 32.7 inches wide, it weighs 85.9 lb, and its buyers are disproportionately people who chose three wheels for a reason.
Where you may ride it comes down to your state. California, Texas and Florida each write the three-class rule slightly differently. Speed is not what it is for.
Our advice is plain: leave it as it ships. Our state e-bike law guides set out the three classes and cite each state's statute if you want to read the rule yourself.
Three wheels and federal law
A trike buyer asks a question a two-wheel buyer never has to: is this thing even an e-bike in the eyes of the law?
It is, and the wording is unusually clear. 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) defines a low-speed electric bicycle as "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph."
Three wheels are named in the statute itself. We retrieved that text twice on 28 August 2026, from Cornell's Legal Information Institute and from GovInfo's official U.S. Code print, and the two agree word for word.

Two wheels at the back and pedals you can actually turn. The federal definition names three-wheeled machines expressly, which is not true of every category a trike gets sorted into.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission's own regulation repeats it in full. 16 CFR § 1512.2(a)(2) defines "bicycle" to include "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph."
Three wheels are inside that definition. The other two elements are about this machine, and neither is settled here: Eunorau publishes 500 W continuous with peak output it describes as "over 750," and it publishes 20 mph "under speed limited/locked" instead of as a fixed ceiling. The right statement is that the federal definition reaches three-wheeled machines and that this one is built to sit inside it as delivered — not that we have verified it does.
The route from the statute to the regulation is § 2085(a), which makes low-speed electric bicycles "subject to the Commission regulations published at section 1500.18(a)(12) and part 1512 of title 16."
That has one consequence worth knowing about, and it is about your hands.
The federal rule on brake force
16 CFR § 1512.5 sets requirements a bicycle's braking system has to meet, and three of them read like an accessibility specification:
| The rule | What it says | Pinpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes fitted | "Bicycles shall be equipped with front- and rear-wheel brakes or rear-wheel brakes only" | § 1512.5(a) |
| Hand force | "A force of less than 44.5 N (10 lbf) shall cause the brake pads to contact the braking surface of the wheel when applied to the handlever at a point 25 mm (1.0 in) from the open end of the handlever" | § 1512.5(b)(5) |
| Lever reach | Grip dimension "shall not exceed 89 mm (3 1/2 in)" between pivot and lever midpoint | § 1512.5(b)(3) |
| Stopping distance | "no greater than 4.57 m (15 ft)" from the test speed, with a rider of at least 150 lb | § 1512.5(b)(1) |
Ten pounds of force, and a lever your hand can reach around. If arthritis or grip strength is part of why you are looking at a trike, that is the federal floor a compliant machine is built to. It is a floor and not a promise: it is measured at the point the pads touch, and not at the point the machine stops.
We have not tested this trike against § 1512.5 and no published test exists. What the section explains is why the move to hydraulics is the upgrade we would have picked first on a machine bought for accessibility: hydraulics reach a given clamping force with less hand effort, and the federal rule tells you the regulator considers hand effort a safety characteristic and not a comfort one. Our guide to e-bike motors covers the other half of that system.
Peak watts, continuous watts, and what the statute actually counts
One wrinkle, and it belongs to the whole category and not to this machine. Eunorau's feature copy says the motor "can crank out a continuous 500 watts of power with the ability to ratchet things up to over 750 peak watts of power for hill climbs and quicker acceleration."
The federal definition says "an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)" — and the words "peak," "continuous," "nominal" and "rated" appear nowhere in § 2085 or in the 16 CFR § 1512.2 definition. We read both in full on 28 August 2026 to check.
The industry reads the figure as the continuous rating, which for this trike is 500 W — the number on the spec sheet, well inside the limit.
A hub motor draws above its continuous rating under load; that is what a peak figure describes, and publishing one alongside a lower continuous rating is a common way to write a spec sheet. We flag the wording because the statute's silence about which figure it counts is real, and it is a question for the category and not for this machine.
The practical answer is unchanged: ride it as delivered. In its shipped configuration it is throttle-limited to 20 mph on 500 W continuous, which is the definition it was built to meet.
Is the battery UL certified?
Eunorau's page states "UL CERTIFIED: Yes." It does not name a standard.
Plenty of makers print "UL certified" without saying which standard, so the habit belongs to the category and not to this brand. Only the certificate settles it either way. UL 2849 covers the complete electrical system; UL 2271 covers the battery pack alone. A machine can hold one and not the other.
We found no published certificate, file number or listing reference for this model. Eunorau's UL page, at https://www.eunorau-ebike.com/pages/ul-certification, returned HTTP 404 on 28 August 2026. That URL is printed as plain text and not linked, because a path that does not resolve is evidence and not a citation.
So: Eunorau asserts certification and we could not establish which standard is meant. That is not a claim the assertion is false, nor that the pack is uncertified. If a named standard is required by your insurer or your building — and on a 960 Wh pack charged indoors overnight, that is a fair thing to want — ask us and we will request the certificate before you pay.
There is one question here a federal database can close outright. We queried the CPSC SaferProducts database on 28 August 2026 on two separate fields, with a control query for "bicycle" returning 431 records on the same call. Eunorau returned zero on both. No Eunorau product appears in the federal recall database.
Warranty
Eunorau publishes 10 years on the frame and 24 months each on battery, motor and electrical components, covering manufacturing defects and excluding wear items and labor.
Two conditions are easy to miss, and both can cost you the cover. The policy runs to "the original purchaser" and states that the "Warranty does not transfer to another owner" — a second-hand machine carries none of it. And requirement 3 asks for an "E-bike check-up by a Eunorau specialist or dealer after the first year of use."
Book that check-up. Put the date in your calendar the week the trike arrives, because a year is long enough to forget a condition you never read.
A third clause matters only if you are buying through a business. Requirement 6 says products "sold at wholesale or purchased by a business for commercial use (e.g., rental fleets, delivery services, sharing programs) are subject to a 50% reduction of the standard Warranty period."
It reads on the purchase, not on what an owner later does with the machine. Note the singular — "the standard Warranty period" — so whether it also halves the separately-stated ten-year frame cover is not something the clause settles. Buy as an individual and none of it reaches you.
Ordering, shipping and support
| Question | What we can tell you today |
|---|---|
| How does it ship? | Free to the contiguous US. An 85.9 lb folding trike ships crated. Confirm carrier, lead time and whether delivery is curbside or liftgate before you order. Ask us and we will put it in writing |
| How much is assembled? | Eunorau publishes no assembly state for this model, so we will not invent one. Trikes of this type normally arrive largely built with the handlebar, front wheel, pedals, baskets and seat to finish, and the box is 42 × 25 × 29 in. Email us before you order and we will confirm exactly what is left to do on the unit that ships to you — and if you would rather not do it, tell us and we will talk through local assembly before you buy instead of after |
| Folded dimensions | Not published. The shipping box is 42 × 25 × 29 in; ask and we will put the folded size to Eunorau |
| Step-through height | Not published, and it is the number this category is judged on. We will get it in writing on request |
| Which charger ships? | Eunorau publishes a 2.0A charger and a 4–6 hour charge time, and those do not agree on a 960 Wh pack. Ask us and we will get the charger's actual output in writing |
| Can I pay monthly? | Yes — Shop Pay instalments are available at checkout on this machine, so a $2,499 purchase does not have to be a single payment |
| Returns | Our refund policy takes change-of-mind returns only while the crate is unopened and factory-sealed, with a restocking fee and return freight on you. Assembled or ridden ends it. Transit damage has a 48-hour photographic window |
The honest ledger
What we could not verify, stated plainly. Eunorau publishes no step-through height — the figure this whole category is judged on — and no folded dimensions. It publishes a 2.0A charger and a 4–6 hour charge time, which cannot both be true of a 960 Wh pack. It asserts UL certification without naming a standard, and its own UL page 404s. It does not publish what speed the machine reaches unlocked. Every one of those is answerable before you pay and none of them afterwards — this machine stops being returnable the moment it is ridden.
Green flags
- A genuine generational upgrade at the same price — 60% more battery, hydraulic brakes on larger rotors, an adjustable backrest and a parking brake.
- Lighter than the trike it replaces while carrying 360 Wh more.
- 440 lb load capacity with front and rear baskets — see the live listing for current stock by colorway.
- Samsung cells named in a 960 Wh pack.
- Hydraulic 180mm discs and a parking brake, where the 1.0 listed a "Promax Disc Lever" on 160mm rotors.
- Ships in Class 2, the configuration most states accept on ordinary bike infrastructure.
- A published geometry table — seat tube, reach, stack, width, length — plus a saddle height range, which is more than most of this category offers.
- 10-year frame warranty, plus 24 months on battery, motor and electrics.
- Zero CPSC recalls for Eunorau, confirmed against the federal database with a positive control.
Red flags
- Two published charge figures that do not agree. A 2.0A charger and a 4–6 hour time cannot both be true of 960 Wh; at 2.0A it is a ten-hour job.
- No published step-through height, on the one measurement this category is bought on. Saddle height is published, at 32.7"–40.2".
- No published folded dimensions, which is the other half of the folding claim. The shipping box is published, at 42 × 25 × 29 in.
- "Speed limited unlockable" on a machine whose whole purpose is stability.
- "UL CERTIFIED: Yes" names no standard, and Eunorau's UL page returns a 404.
- 32.7 inches wide — it will not pass a standard interior doorway upright.
- 85.9 lb, which is fine to ride and awkward to move when it is switched off.
- The motor did not change. 500W and 80 N·m carrying up to 440 lb is adequate on hills without being generous.

The rear bed has a solid wooden base instead of a mesh floor, which is the difference between carrying a crate and carrying a crate that stays put.
Who should buy it
Buy the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 if you want to keep riding without balancing a machine at every stop; if you carry things; if you have ground-floor or garage storage and a doorway wider than 32.7 inches; and if an overnight charge fits how you actually ride — or you have asked us which charger ships.
Buy the 1.0 instead if you find one discounted and your rides are short — but check what you are being sold, because most listings and every review describe the older machine.
Do not buy it if you need to lift it, if you want suspension and off-road capability, or if the step-through height is the deciding factor and you cannot wait for us to get it.
Ask first if mobility is the reason you are buying a trike. The step-through measurement is not published and it is the number that decides whether this works for you.
And ask us properly. Email sales@redtailebikes.com with the rider's height, the opening it has to clear and how the charging will actually happen, and we will answer within one business day — including when the answer is that a different bike suits you better, or that you should wait for a figure we cannot get.
Three wheels, 960 Wh and a 440 lb load, in three colorways. Free contiguous-US shipping, ten years on the frame, warranty claims handled by us — and if you want the step-through height or the charger's real output first, ask us and we will get them in writing before you pay.
Order the NEW-TRIKE 2.0 — $2,499Before you buy: the checklist
- [ ] Measure your doorway and gate against the 32.7 inches on the listing.
- [ ] Ask us for the step-through height if mobility is the reason for the purchase.
- [ ] Ask for the folded dimensions if it has to fit a truck bed or a cupboard — the published 42 × 25 × 29 in figure is the shipping box rather than the folded machine.
- [ ] Ask which charger ships — 2.0A means ten hours, and Eunorau's own page claims four to six.
- [ ] Confirm ground-floor or garage storage — 85.9 lb does not go up stairs.
- [ ] Check your state's rules if a rider under 18 will use it.
- [ ] Leave it in the Class 2 setting it ships in.
- [ ] Photograph the crate at delivery; damage has a 48-hour window.
- [ ] Note that an assembled or ridden machine is not returnable.
Limitations of this review
- We have not ridden it. No handling, comfort or stability verdict appears — which is a real limitation on a trike, because ride feel is much of what a trike is bought for.
- The 1.0 figures come from an Internet Archive snapshot dated 20 March 2025, because Eunorau has retired that product page and it now returns a 404. That snapshot is archived alongside our deposit copies, but it is a point-in-time capture and not a live source.
- The range bands below Eunorau's published figures are typical consumption envelopes and are not measurements of this machine. No measured range exists from us or anyone.
- Eunorau publishes no step-through height and no folded dimensions. We decline to estimate either. Saddle height (32.7"–40.2") and the shipping-box size (42 × 25 × 29 in) are published and are quoted instead.
- The charge time is unresolved on Eunorau's own page, which publishes both a 2.0A charger and a 4–6 hour time. We report both and the arithmetic that separates them; we have not tested a charge and we do not assert which figure is correct.
- Whether the 1.0's Promax lever was cable-actuated is our inference, and no source states it. The archived page names the lever and the rotor and never states the actuation type.
- We do not know what speed the machine reaches unlocked, and we have not tested the unlock.
- The UL question is unresolved. We report the claim and the 404 and assert nothing either way.
- Competitor standover figures referred to in the fit section come from an AI-search panel, graded T3. We have not opened those manufacturers' spec sheets.
- No search-volume figures appear here. We do not publish numbers we cannot source.
- We have not tested this machine against 16 CFR § 1512.5. The braking requirements are quoted because they apply, not because we measured compliance; no published test of either generation exists.
- Expiry: re-verify if Eunorau publishes a step-through height, folded dimensions or a UL certificate, or if the price moves.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 1.0 and 2.0?
The 2.0 carries a 48V 20Ah battery against the 1.0's 12.5Ah — 960 Wh against 600 Wh, a 60% increase — with hydraulic 180mm disc brakes in place of a "Promax Disc Lever" on 160mm rotors, an adjustable backrest and a parking brake. It is also 2.2 lb lighter at 85.9 lb, and the motor and charger are unchanged. Eunorau sells it at the same price as the 1.0.
How long does the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 take to charge?
Eunorau publishes two answers that do not agree: a 4–6 hour charge time, and a 2.0A charger that cannot deliver it. A 48V 2.0A unit delivers 96 watts and the pack holds 960 Wh, so 960 ÷ 96 = 10.0 hours. Four to six hours would need a 3.3–5.0A charger. Ask us which one ships before you order.
What is the real range of the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0?
Eunorau publishes 60–100 miles, which maps to 9.6–16 watt-hours per mile — a light-to-moderate use case. Loaded near the 440 lb capacity and ridden on the throttle, plan on 30–40 miles. For ordinary use with shopping aboard, 40–60 miles is the honest figure.
How wide is the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0?
83 cm, or 32.7 inches, from Eunorau's geometry diagram. That is narrower than most of this category but still wider than a standard interior door, so measure the opening you need it to clear.
How much does the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 weigh?
85.9 lb (39 kg) — 2.2 lb lighter than the 1.0 despite carrying a 60% larger battery.
What size rider does the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 fit?
Eunorau publishes a rider height range of 5'1" to 6'1", a saddle height to ground of 32.7"–40.2" and a full geometry table, but no step-through height — which is the figure this category is actually judged on. Ask us and we will get it from Eunorau in writing before you order.
Is the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 good for seniors?
It is the best answer on this site for a rider who wants to keep going without balancing a machine at every stop. Four earlier machines fitted our 63-year-old test rider and all four were step-throughs, which solve the mount and leave the balancing.
Federal law is on its side too: 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) names three-wheeled vehicles in the low-speed electric bicycle definition. The open question is the step-through height, which Eunorau does not publish and we will obtain on request.
What does "Class 2 speed limited unlockable" mean?
It means the trike arrives configured as a Class 2 electric bike — throttle, assistance ending at 20 mph — and that the limit can be removed. We have not tested the unlocked speed and Eunorau does not publish it. Leave it as it ships: above 20 mph on throttle a machine generally falls outside the Class 2 definition in the states that have adopted the three-class system.
Are electric trikes street legal?
Federally, three wheels are named in the definition. 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) covers "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts," under 20 mph on throttle alone, and 16 CFR § 1512.2 repeats that wording. Where you may ride is a separate, state-level question that turns on the three-class system — our state guides cite each statute.
Does the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 fold?
Yes — the main frame tube folds and the frame is 6061 aluminum. Eunorau does not publish folded dimensions, which is the figure you would want for a truck bed or a cupboard, and we will request it on your behalf. It does publish the shipping box: 42 × 25 × 29 inches.
Does the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 have a UL-certified battery?
Eunorau states "UL CERTIFIED: Yes" without naming a standard, and its own UL page returned a 404 on 28 August 2026. We could not determine whether UL 2849 or UL 2271 is meant. Ask us to request the certificate before you order.
Has the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 been recalled?
No. We queried the CPSC SaferProducts database on 28 August 2026 on two fields and found no recalls for any Eunorau product, with a control query confirming the search worked.
How much can the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 carry?
Eunorau publishes a 440 lb / 200 kg load capacity, with front and rear baskets.
What is the warranty on the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0?
Ten years on the frame and 24 months each on battery, motor and electrical components, covering manufacturing defects only. It runs to the original purchaser and does not transfer, it asks for a dealer check-up after the first year, and a wholesale or business purchase halves the standard warranty period.
The bottom line
The NEW-TRIKE 2.0 is a better machine than the one the reviews describe, and that sentence is the whole reason this page exists.
Against its own predecessor's archived specification it carries 60% more battery, moved to hydraulic 180mm discs, gained a backrest and a parking brake, and did all of it while getting two pounds lighter and staying at the same price. Electric Bike Review tested the 160mm generation; we found no published test of this one.
Two numbers to settle before you order. The charge time is unresolved on Eunorau's own page — a 2.0A charger means ten hours, and Eunorau also prints four to six; ask us and we will get the charger's output in writing. And it is 32.7 inches wide, which clears most gates and no standard interior door.
The gap we would most like closed is the step-through height. Eunorau publishes a full geometry table without it, and it is the single figure this category is judged on. If mobility is why you are buying a trike, ask us and we will get it before you pay.
Buy it if you want three wheels, real range and a machine that carries a shop — and if the answer to "can I still ride?" has started to depend on not having to balance.
