PUCKIPUPPY Alaskan Electric Tricycle: Can It Really Go 55 Miles on One Charge?

The PUCKIPUPPY Alaskan electric tricycle is built for people who need to carry stuff and want to stay steady while riding. With a 500 pound weight limit and a big cargo basket, this is basically a pickup truck in bike form. The 960 watt motor is strong enough to climb hills even when you're loaded down with groceries or equipment. You also get a ton of free accessories worth $500 including everything from a bike cover to a pump, which makes the $1,350 price tag look pretty good.

This tricycle shines for older adults, people with balance concerns, or anyone who hauls cargo regularly. The three-wheel design with the special differential system means you won't tip over when turning corners, and the big comfy seat with a backrest lets you ride for hours without getting sore. The 55-mile range is plenty for running errands all week, and the fat tires soak up bumps on rough roads. It's perfect for grocery shopping, beach trips, farmer's market runs, or just cruising around the neighborhood. The folding frame is a nice touch even though this bike is still pretty bulky.

The biggest drawback is that it lacks UL certification, which means it hasn't been independently tested for safety. The 25 mph top speed is also on the slower side if you want to keep up with traffic. The three-wheel design makes it wider and less nimble than regular bikes, so forget about tight bike lanes or crowded paths. If you want something fast and sporty, or you need to carry your bike up stairs, this isn't the right choice. But if you value stability, cargo space, and comfort over speed and portability, the Alaskan delivers excellent value for the money.
