Catrike Expedition Recumbent Trike

Lots of Gearing

The Catrike Expedition comes stock with the FSA Gossamer triple crank up front and Catrike's adjustable boom. We have many different gearing options available. Use our configurator above to see what options are currently available.

Gearing options are virtually endless. We have a lot of options for both your front and rear gearing. If you're looking to get rid of derailleurs and like the idea of being able to shift while stopped or coasting, maybe an internal gearing solution is the right choice for you!

We are building more and more electric trikes and the Catrike Expedition is a great candidate for a motor. All of our motor kits allow you to choose the level of assist you want. That means that as you pedal the motor kicks in automatically providing additional power to your own pedaling efforts. We also provide a thumb-actuated throttle with our motor systems that act like the gas pedal in your car. Don't want to pedal? No worries, just push the throttle and go! Currently we offer two different options here at Utah Trikes: the Bafang Middrive and our UTCustom 1000 watt hub motor.

Boom-Mounted Bafang Middrive Motor
The Bafang Middrive comes in a 500 Watt, 750 Watt, or 1000 Watt option. You'll want to choose the motor size based on your style of riding. We install the Bafang motor on your bottom bracket, which means it replaces the front crankset of your trike. The motor works like the transmission on a car and allows you to still use your rear gearing.

UTCustom 1000 Watt Hub Motor
Unlike the Bafang motor which is installed on the front end of your trike, the hub motor will replace the hub of your rear wheel. It is only available in the 1000 Watt option and applies power directly to the rear wheel.

Custom Mounting
We make our own custom battery mounts to keep the weight down low and near the rear axle. This keeps the weight of the battery from affecting handling and puts the battery in an easily accessible spot of the trike. All our battery systems come with an AC charger and a two-year pro-rated warranty. We make our own mounts to put the control console, throttle, and other buttons where you need them.
