Mooncool TK1 debuts to electrify accessible transport with three wheels and up-to-750W motor

Mooncool is one of a growing number of companies that stand up and say trikes are definitely not just for kids any more - particularly as this one comes with 500W of power that can, furthermore, spike to 750W if necessary.

The TK1's "helical" motor is kept on with a Hailong Plus 48V/14.5Ah lithium battery rated to get 35 to 60 miles of range and up to 55 newton-meters (Nm) of torque. Then again, it comes locked to a relatively sedate 16 mile-per-hour (mph) limit.

Given that its dual rear wheels benefit from a differential mechanism and hydraulic disk brakes (which correspond to triple tail lights to go with the integrated head-light), the TK1 is indeed unlikely to tip over on the road any time soon.

It also comes with turn signals and even a parking brake for added safety. Accordingly, and unlike other examples such as the Cube Hybrid, the TK1 is mainly pitched as an intuitive source of accessible electrified transport to help enhance the user's current level of motility, especially given its "95% assembled", apparently easily foldable, practical design.

You might think the TK1's capacity for front and rear storage would make it a good alternative to a cargo e-bike instead; then again, it is rated to carry 350 pounds (lb) at the most, whereas Fiido asserts that its 2-wheeled T2 can handle 400lb.

Nevertheless, the Mooncool TK1 is available to those looking for a new dimension of e-mobility in lively colors such as Vibrant Orange and Cyan Green as well as Slate Gray for $1,599 right now.
