Scout Electric Tricycle, Folding, 6 Gear, 250W, 12.8Ah Battery

Description

I’ve had this tricycle for a couple of years now, and honestly, it’s become my go-to for getting around. I used it twice – both times just for short trips around the local area, and I kept it in a shed the whole time so it’s never been exposed to the weather.

It’s a solid 3-wheel setup with a front hub motor (250W), which means it’s road legal in the UK and runs quietly. The 12.8Ah lithium battery (LG cells) is removable and weighs just under 2.2kg – easy to carry or store. I’ve tested it fully, and it holds charge well. On flat ground, I get around 45km per charge, though that drops a bit on hills or if I’m heavier. Top speed is about 25km/h, which is plenty for normal riding.

It’s got a 6-speed Shimano Tourney gear system – that’s good for varying terrain, whether it’s a flat road or a gentle incline. The pedal assist has 5 levels, and the LCD screen shows it clearly. The aluminium frame feels sturdy, and the 24-inch wheels give a smooth ride. There’s front and rear disc braking, which I’ve found really helpful for stopping safely. Plus, the front suspension makes it a bit more comfortable on bumpy surfaces.

I’ve used it only twice, and it’s been in as-new condition. No damage, no major wear. The step-through frame makes it super easy to get on and off – especially useful when you’re in a hurry or have a full load.

I’m moving to Enderby, Blaby, and it’s just sitting in the shed waiting to be put to good use. I’ve kept it clean and maintained it properly, so it’s ready to go. If you're looking for something reliable for daily commutes, shopping, or just enjoying a ride, this one’s been well loved and still works great.

Priced at £495 – not a lot of money for something that’s actually been used only a couple of times and still runs smoothly.
