How Low, Long and Wide Is a Recumbent Electric Trike?

Manufacturer, retailer and public-agency sources · 2026-09-24 · no ratings, no road tests

Summary

TerraTrike's four e+ recumbents seat the rider 15 to 18 inches off the ground, measure 73 to 76.5 inches long and 33 to 34 inches wide, and weigh 58 to 61.5 pounds. Lectric's upright XP Trike2 has a seat that sits 30 to 42 inches up and measures 65 by 30 inches. The recumbents are lower, longer and wider, and they are rated for less: 260 to 300 pounds combined, against 415 pounds for the XP Trike2.

All four use a Bosch Performance Line motor rated at 75 Nm with a Bosch PowerPack 400Wh battery and four assist modes. TerraTrike fits riders by X-seam, a leg measurement, at 37 to 46 inches for most models and 35 to 45 inches for the Rebel e+. None of the product pages states an e-bike class or a top assisted speed.

The seat is what changes most

The Rebel e+ has the tallest seat of the four, and TerraTrike says its 18-inch height is there "for easier entry, exit." The Gran Tourismo e+ sits 3 inches lower at 15 inches. Both sit 12 to 15 inches below the XP Trike2's lowest saddle setting of 30 inches, so getting in and out of a recumbent is closer to lowering yourself into a low chair than stepping over a frame.

The seat also reclines. The All Terrain e+ has the widest range, from 40 to 70 degrees, and TerraTrike says its mesh "adds increased lateral support."

What the electric system adds

In its January 2026 announcement of the Gran Tourismo e+, TerraTrike explained that "if a trike carries the e+ name, it's the electrified version of its analog counterpart." The company's spec sheet for the non-electric versions makes the difference measurable. The analog Rebel is listed at 41 pounds against 58 for the Rebel e+, the All Terrain at 43.8 against 61, the Gran Tourismo at 40.8 against 58 and the Traveler at 44.4 against 61.5. Each e+ model is about 17 pounds heavier than its analog version.

The drivetrains also differ between models. The All Terrain e+ and Gran Tourismo e+ list 10 speeds, the Rebel e+ 8, and the Traveler e+ uses a continuously variable Enviolo hub that TerraTrike says allows "shifting while at a complete stop."

Which one folds

Only the Traveler e+ is built to fold, with a "quick release, flat fold design, and folding handlebars" and a front axle designed for quick wheel removal. Its e+ page gives no folded size. The spec sheet for the non-electric Traveler lists 36 x 32.5 x 22 inches and gives no folded size for the other three. Unfolded, the 76-inch All Terrain e+ and Gran Tourismo e+ are 6 feet 4 inches long.
