The model was initially developed to facilitate mobility for the elderly, but soon attracted consumers of all ages.
Affordable Price and High Demand
One of the main attractions of the tricycle is its low cost. On AliExpress, it is sold for US$ 1,700 (about R$ 10,000), making it a viable option for those seeking savings without sacrificing comfort.
Alternative to Motorcycles and Conventional Cars? Yes! The vehicle has attracted urban drivers looking to reduce fuel and maintenance costs.
Barriers to Regulation
Despite its success, some cities face challenges in regulating the use of the tricycle. In São Paulo, for example, the city government prohibited an electric tuk-tuk service via app, citing similarities to mototaxi – a practice that is illegal in the area.
Additionally, there are discussions about IPI exemption for the elderly when purchasing the vehicle, which could further boost its popularity.
