This 1.1-meter flat-panel electric tricycle is a freight-type vehicle that focuses on "heavy-duty loading + flexible passenger carrying." Its core advantage is a well-organized cargo box size, flexible switching between passenger and cargo carrying, making it particularly suitable for short-distance cargo transportation for small businesses and individual practitioners. It can also meet the needs of a small number of passengers, as detailed below:
1.1-meter flatbed cargo box with dual mode for passenger/cargo carrying
1. Cargo Mode (Core Form):
◦ Standard equipped with an 1.1-meter-long open-plan flatbed trailer, the trailer body is made of gray-blue metal material, which is robust and durable with strong bearing capacity, suitable for transporting construction materials, fruits and vegetables, express deliveries, and small goods, etc.
◦ The cargo area is surrounded by red metal guardrails, which not only prevent the fall of goods but also can be disassembled or raised as needed (adapted to different volume of goods), making the flat-plate design easier for loading and unloading, which can be adapted to forklifts and handcarts.
The bottom of the cargo compartment is a flat metal surface with no unnecessary partitions, making it easier to use the space when transporting large or long items.
2. Crewed mode (flexible switching):
The front of the cargo compartment can be equipped with/folded down seats (which can also be removed directly), with plastic protection film, a one-piece design of backrest + cushion, capable of seating at least 2 people, meeting the occasional passenger needs (such as bringing workers, family members);
◦ There are red guardrails next to the seat, with a special small door on the side of the driver's seat, making it safe and convenient to get in and out of the vehicle. The stability when carrying people is not inferior to that of a standard three-wheeled scooter.
The switch operation is simple, no complex tools are needed. The seat can be quickly converted back to a pure cargo state by closing or removing it, without occupying the effective space of the cargo compartment.
Second, Basic Configuration: Practical and Durable, Adapts to Heavy-Duty Scenarios
1. Body and Chassis:
The overall color scheme is 'red + gray blue', with thickened and reinforced metal frames. The ground clearance of the chassis is moderate, suitable for complex road conditions such as rural roads, market auxiliary roads, etc., without hitting the bottom.
The rear wheels are equipped with large-size load-bearing rims and thickened tires, which provide strong traction and reduce the risk of slipping when carrying heavy loads. The front wheels are equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers to alleviate the bumpy feeling during cargo transportation.
2. Control and Safety:
Classic handlebar control with a dashboard that displays battery and speed levels, with an operation logic similar to that of a standard electric vehicle, making it easy for beginners to quickly get the hang of it.
◦ The side of the driver's seat has an independent opening design, not an open-style pedal, which makes getting in and out of the car safer and prevents slippage of the feet while driving.
The cargo compartment guardrail and seat guardrail are both welded and clamped for dual fixation, ensuring a stable structure for both carrying people or cargo, making it less likely to loosen.
3. Power (Default Lead-Acid Battery):
This type of heavy-duty three-wheel vehicle is equipped with a standard 60V/72V large capacity lead-acid battery (common capacity of 20Ah-50Ah), which can match the weight-carrying needs of a 1.1-meter cargo box in terms of range and power, allowing it to drive normally even when fully loaded.
Lead-acid batteries have low cost, easy maintenance and replacement, and can be adapted by offline service points, making them suitable for high-frequency cargo transportation scenarios. The subsequent operating costs are controllable.
III. Applicable Scenarios and Core Advantages
Core Highlights:
• The precise size of the cargo compartment: 1.1 meters in length is considered the 'golden size,' which allows for the transportation of common goods such as cardboard boxes, buckets, and small household appliances, without the inconvenience of long vehicle bodies causing difficulties in turning and parking;
• Flexible switching: The seat can be folded and disassembled, without additional modification, it can be used for both cargo/passenger transportation, one vehicle can be used as two, high cost performance;
• Durable and robust: Metal cargo box with thickened guardrails, designed for heavy-duty scenarios, resistant to daily cargo impacts and wear and tear.
Overall, this 1.1-meter flat-bed tricycle is a 'utility-oriented' heavy-duty utility vehicle that retains the cargo-carrying capacity of a freight tricycle while also accommodating passenger needs with its detachable seats. Whether for street vending, delivery services, or daily cargo hauling, it can be precisely adapted.
