Is the sixthreezero EZ Transit worth buying?
The EZ Transit is the lightest full-size folding trike in our ranking: 80 lb with its battery, 72 lb without. sixthreezero says two of them fit side by side in the back of an SUV. The step-over is 13.5 inches, the frame is aluminum, and it comes 90% assembled with baskets at both ends. At $1,499.99 on November 13, 2026 it costs the same as a Lectric XP Trike2, and that is its problem: the Lectric has hydraulic brakes, a stated differential and a bigger battery.
Buy it if
- You load the trike into a car or RV every week
- You are tall: 6'5" is the highest stated limit among the folding trikes
- You prefer small 16-inch wheels and a low, compact feel
Skip it if
- You want the most safety hardware for $1,500: that is the Lectric XP Trike2
- You ride far: 499 Wh is the third-smallest battery in the ranking
How much does 8 lb less really help?
More than it sounds. The Lectric XP Trike2 weighs 86 lb with its battery, the Mokwheel Granite 101 lb, the Viribus FC1 129 lb. The EZ Transit weighs 80 lb, and 72 lb once you slide the battery out. That is still a two-person lift for most people, but it is the difference between an awkward lift and one you dread.
The 16-inch wheels help in another way: the folded trike is short and low. sixthreezero says it folds smaller than any other trike on the market and that two fit side by side in the back of an SUV. We could not find folded dimensions in inches on the page, so measure your cargo area and ask.
What is the trade-off against the Lectric?
Same price on the day we checked, different priorities. The Lectric gives you hydraulic brakes, parking brakes, a rear differential and 624 Wh. The EZ Transit gives you seven gears, baskets in the price, less weight and a wider rider height range, with mechanical brakes and a front-hub motor.
A front motor pulls the trike. On dry pavement that is fine. On a wet or loose climb the front wheel has less weight on it and can slip, which is why most of the trikes we rank higher drive the rear axle. If your rides are flat and paved, you may never notice.
What's in the box?
The trike, the 48 V 10.4 Ah battery, a 2 A charger, front and rear baskets, tools and the manual. sixthreezero says it ships 90% assembled.
How do you set it up, and what should the first ride be?
With 90% done, you unfold the frame, fit the handlebar, pedals and baskets, and charge. Set the saddle so your feet are flat at a stop. The twist throttle is on the grip: roll it on gently the first few times, because the motor pulls from the front wheel.
What does it really cost?
$1,499.99 was the sale price on November 13, 2026 (list: $2,299). The backrest saddle is $149. sixthreezero's product page also lists an extended warranty and a "fulfillment and inspection fee" among the options: read the cart line by line before you pay.
Per watt-hour of battery, that is $3.01: the figure our tie-break uses.
What do we like, and what should you know?
- 80 lb with the battery, 72 lb without: the easiest to lift here
- 13.5-inch step-over; fits riders from 4'10" to 6'5", says sixthreezero
- Front and rear baskets included
- Shimano 7-speed gears and a 750 W motor
- Ships 90% assembled, with a "30 Day Test Ride" shown on the page
The catch: The 750 W motor sits in the front wheel, the brakes are mechanical, and the page mentions neither a differential nor a parking brake. The battery is small (499 Wh). The page also gives two speed figures, "up to 16 mph" in one place and 28 mph with pedal assist in another: ask which one applies to the trike you receive. A backrest is a $149 option.
Where can you ride it, and how do you ride it safely?
sixthreezero's figure: "Up to 16 mph" in the page headline; the description also says 15 mph fully electric and 28 mph with pedal assist, so ask which applies. Federal product law (15 U.S.C. 2085) describes a low-speed electric bicycle as a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with working pedals, a motor of less than 750 watts and under 20 mph on motor power alone. Where you may ride is set by your state and city (see the PeopleForBikes summaries): check yours. This isn't legal advice.
A trike doesn't lean, so slow down before every corner. Hold a brake lever while you get on or off. The CPSC says to stay present while the battery charges, use the maker's charger and wear a helmet on every ride.
