Summary
A reverse trike (2 wheels in front, 1 in back) that the community specifically recommends for seniors and stability-conscious riders. Significantly safer cornering than conventional delta trikes.
At $1,500, the Lectric Trike 2 is the go-to entry point for e-trikes, offering solid value for riders who don't want to spend Velotric money. A practical first trike for most buyers.

- Lectric brand has strong reputation for customer support and parts availability
- Good entry-level option for seniors or new e-trike riders
- Widely available and easy to purchase
Cons
- Higher price point than basic delta e-trikes

Our take
For seniors or anyone who's been scared off by tippy conventional trikes, the Spytan 2's reverse configuration is a genuine safety upgrade — the community is clear that tadpole/reverse designs are just more stable.
If $2,500 feels steep, the Lectric Trike 2 at $1,500 is the community's budget pick — not as refined, but it gets the job done and Lectric's support reputation is solid.
