Cargo Trike
enPorter - environmentally friendly and efficient cargo transport
The project enPorter (

) investigates the feasibility of an electric assist system with a tilting three wheeler (trike-tadpole). The
enPorter
solution allows for a much lower centre of gravity and high safety on slippery roads.
Compared to usual bicycles used for postal delivery, the mechanism for holding the unmanned bicycle in position is much lighter and less complex. A tilting prototype was motorized with an PSM (BLDC) motor and tested with a 36V 15Ah LiFePO4 battery. The driveability was excellent.
We are currently searching for an internally geared five gear cargo grade hub motor for the rear wheel to meet the needs of rough delivery practice in combination with European rules for PAC (Electrically power assisted cycles prEN 15194:2005).
