E-trike fans come in all sizes — short, tall, and everything in between. The same is true about the weight of e-trike riders — slight, muscle-bound, light, heavy and everything in between. For heavier riders, or riders needing to carry heavy cargo, finding the right e-trike can be a challenging search. If a rider weighs, for example, 275 pounds, then an e-trike with a 250 pound payload is a real problem. Even an electric tricycle with a 300 pound payload has very little leeway for accessories or cargo with a heavy rider.
A weighty rider may come very close to maxing out the e-trikes payload rating with nothing more than body weight. This places added stress on the trike when it is carrying close to the maximum payload nearly 100% of the riding time. Payload limits vary widely among the available e-trike brands and styles. Be sure to check the official payload rating before purchasing any e-trike.
Overloading is Risky
There is no legal requirement for e-trikes to have a particular payload capacity. The responsibility lies with the rider to be aware of a trike’s payload rating. Overloading an e-trike can expose the rider to devastating consequences. As you might suspect, exceeding the payload rating is very hard on the frame, tires, and braking system. This puts the rider at great risk.
Overloading is also hard on other components of the e-trike, including the motor and gears. You can easily see how important it is to insist that an e-trike has an adequate payload rating for your body weight plus any gear or accessories that you may want to carry with you.
The Mooncool TK1 Fat Tire Payload Rating
There’s good news for riders wanting an especially strong e-trike with an exceptional payload capacity. The Mooncool TK1 Fat Tire e-trike has a payload of an amazing 400 pounds! The Mooncool Design Team is providing consumers with an e-trike that has the frame strength, motor power, torque, and braking system to handle a heavy load.

Give Yourself the Benefits of E-trike Riding
Riding any type of trike can improve your health. It benefits you in many ways, making you stronger and more flexible, as well as improving your mood. The physical effort of pedaling is great exercise that gets you out in the sunshine and fresh air.
A comfortable and powerful electric trike simply makes it easier to stick with a good exercise schedule. If exercise is not fun, most people tend to neglect it…and the Mooncool TK1 definitely make it fun! Remember, it’s not all about the legs. Yes, your legs are the primary power-providers, but your arms, back, and core also benefit from riding. Even mounting, dismounting, and steering are helpful exercise!
Along with the improvement in fitness, riders also notice their flexibility is better. On the mental side, brain clarity improves and mood is elevated. The more consistently you spend time riding, the more benefits you will experience.
There’s More to Life than Traffic
Tired of cars whizzing by you at high speeds? Sick of breathing fumes from gas and diesel engines? Weary of all the road noise? It might be time for you to get a quality fat tire e-trike and head off-road for some peace and quiet.
Sometimes you just need to “get away from it all” and enjoy a little quietness along with calming scenic beauty. A good electric trike like the TK1 can be just what you need. There are endless possibilities…maybe just you riding alone, or maybe riding with a friend or your family.
Comfort and Power

Those steep climbs where you catch the best views are no fun at all without a powerful high-torque motor that gets you to the top.
