About Us

About Unicornrus

We are a US-based retailer of electric tricycles for adults. We do not manufacture our products. We source them, test them, and stand behind them — so you don't have to figure out which ones are actually worth buying.

Our catalog is small on purpose. Every model we carry has been reviewed for safety documentation, real-world usability, and supplier reliability. If we wouldn't recommend it to a family member, it doesn't go on the site.

Why We Started Unicornrus

It started with a simple observation: a lot of people genuinely needed a stable, easy-to-ride electric trike — and couldn't find one they could trust.

Adults in their 60s and 70s who had given up cycling because balancing got harder. People recovering from knee or hip surgery who still wanted to get outside on their own. Retired couples who wanted to explore a campground without borrowing someone's golf cart. Parents who needed a practical way to run errands without starting the car for every short trip.

The trikes existed. But the market was full of listings with vague specs, no safety documentation, and no real support if something went wrong after delivery.

That gap is what Unicornrus was built to fill.

Who We Serve

Most of our customers are not competitive cyclists. They are people who want to stay active, stay independent, and stay connected to the places and routines that matter to them.

Here is who we hear from most often:

Adults Over 60

Adults over 60 who love being outdoors but find a two-wheel bike too risky. Three wheels stay upright on their own — no balancing at stops, no putting a foot down. For many riders, this is the difference between getting outside and staying home.

Riders with Mobility Limitations

People with mobility limitations looking for something more flexible than a scooter and more stable than a standard ebike. Riders managing joint pain, recovering from surgery, or dealing with balance conditions have found that a low step-through electric trike gives them back a kind of freedom they thought they had lost.

RV and Camping Travelers

RV and camping travelers who park the rig and want a practical way to explore. A folding trike fits in a truck bed or large cargo van, handles campground roads comfortably, and makes trips to the camp store or lake far more enjoyable than walking.

Neighborhood Errand Riders

Neighborhood errand riders who want to cover short distances — pharmacy, post office, farmers market — without burning gas or fighting for parking. A rear basket handles a full grocery run. The trike handles the rest.

How We Choose What We Carry

We are a retailer, not a manufacturer. That means our job is selection and accountability — making sure what we put in front of you is actually worth your money and your trust.

Before any model goes live on our site, we require from our suppliers:

Safety certification documentation — UL 2849 for e-bike electrical systems and UL 2272 where applicable
Complete product specifications — motor output, battery capacity, range estimates, weight limits, and max speed clearly stated
Verifiable warranty support — so that if something fails, we can actually back it up

If a supplier cannot provide that documentation, the product does not go on the site. That is the whole policy.

What Riding a Trike Actually Feels Like

If you have not ridden a trike before, the first thing most people notice is the stillness. You stop pedaling, and the trike just sits there. No wobble. No reaching for the ground with your foot. It stays put.

The second thing people notice is how quickly they relax.

That is what we hear from customers again and again — in emails, reviews, and rider stories. Not that the motor is powerful or the range is impressive. That they felt calm. That they went further than they expected. That they came home and told someone about it.

One rider told us she had not been on anything with wheels in four years after a fall. She rode three miles on her first day out. That kind of story is why we do this.

What We Are Honest About

Electric trikes are not the right choice for everyone, and we would rather tell you that upfront than have you return a product that was never right for your situation.

Our trikes are built for flat to moderately hilly terrain
Steep climbs may reduce battery range faster
Most models weigh between 65 and 90 lbs
Loading into vehicles may require two people or a ramp
Range estimates vary depending on terrain, rider weight, weather, and throttle use
Most models are designed for bike paths, campground roads, and neighborhood streets

We think being clear about limitations is part of what good retail looks like. You should know exactly what you are buying before it arrives at your door.
