  • Speed

    The Granite is the first class 2 eTrike that I've reviewed.  A class 2 rating means this eTrike has a top speed of 20mph and is the fastest eTrike I've reviewed.   Yes it's fast but it's also feels like it is the most stable.   The Granite sticks to the ground but keep in mine it's still better to play it safe and slow down in the turns.  Most trikes do have a tendency to tip over in turns at high speed so stay safe and keep your turns to around 12-15mph.

  • Rider Height

    The Granite will be great for people from 5' to 6'2" And if you're curious, the standover height is 15.6" with a minimum saddle height of 29.9”.

  • Technical

    The Granite is powered by a nicely hidden 48V 15Ah battery Has a rear basket that can handle a max load of 220 lbs Weighs 100 lbs Has a payload capacity of 350 lbs The Granite has a 48V 500W brushes rear hub motor The range for the Granite is 45~55 miles The range will vary depending on things like payload, style of riding and terrain

  • Performance

    The granite comes with 20x3” road tires Suspension it has an adjustable 90-110mm front fork Mokwheel seems to use the same LED display for all their bike It’s a good looking display and works well for both day or night time riding (show day and night shot) For brakes, most eTrikes only have one mechanical brake on the front wheel but Mokwheel stepped up their braking system with not one, not two but threes hydraulic brakes. One on each wheel and that’s something that makes me feel safe on this trike. The Granite has a 44T Crankset with a 7 speed Shimano rear derailleur It uses a thumb throttle and has 5 power assist modes It’s rated a class 2 with a top speed of 20mph

The Good

Build Quality
The Mokwheel Granite is a well built eTrike with high quality parts. It has a lot of power with a top speed of 20mph making it a Class 2 eTrike and the fasted eTrike I’ve ridden so far.

Stability
The stability of this eTrike is much better than other eTrikes I’ve ridden however I would say to keep the speed under 15mph when taking turns.  Taking a turn too fast with any trike could cause it to tip over.  Ride safe and smart.

Power
For power the Granite has a powerful but quiet 48v, 500w brushless rear hub motor and like other Mokwheel eBikes this motor has a lot of pickup and go.

Braking
The Granite is equipped with a multi three point hydraulic braking system. This is another feature that up to now I’ve only seen on this eTrike.  Braking is important and Mokwheel has you covered.

Assembly
Unlike most eTrikes the Granite arrives almost fully assembled. This is a time saver and will have you enjoying your new eTrike right away.

Battery
The battery range will vary between 45-55 miles. Note: range will depend on payload, terrain, type of riding and how much you throttle.

Weight
The Granite has a large rear basket can handle up to 220 lbs and unlike other baskets this one is really well put together.  The eTrike itself can carry a payload up to 350 lbs

 

The Bad
As far as eTrikes go I can’t find anything to complain about.

 

Overall
The Granite eTrike is the best eTrike I’ve had the pleasure to review. Mokwheel’s detail to design and choice in parts used to build this awesome eTrike is second to none. It’s also has a class 2 rating which means it has a top speed of 20mph. The triple hydraulic braking system is another first for me to see on an eTrike. The Granite was a pleasure to assemble and ride.

If you’re looking for an eTrike I think might be hard to find a better eTrike than Mokwheel’s Granite.
