What Stands Out
TK Pro: 750W rated motor, torque sensor and Shimano six-speed drivetrain.
TK2: 500W rated motor, cadence sensor and reverse function.
FT1: 20 × 4.0-inch tires, seven-speed drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes.
What to Check
Match doorway and vehicle dimensions to the model's published geometry.
Compare the 450 lb stated limits for TK Pro/TK2 versus 400 lb for FT1.
Confirm local rules, setup requirements and service availability.
Product Review
1. Mooncool TK Pro Electric Trike
Product overview
The TK Pro pairs a 48V 20Ah battery with a 750W rated motor (1,310W listed peak), torque-sensing pedal assistance, a six-speed Shimano drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes. Mooncool advertises up to 100 miles of range and a maximum load of 450 lb. The quoted range is a manufacturer claim, not a tested TrekReview result.
Key Specifications
- Battery: 48V 20Ah.
- Motor: 750W rated, 1,310W peak; stated torque 90 Nm.
- Pedal sensor: torque; drivetrain: Shimano six-speed.
- Brakes: hydraulic disc; tires: 20 × 3.0 in.
- Top safe speed: 15.5 mph; stated maximum load: 450 lb.
- Foldable frame; manufacturer-stated range: up to 100 miles.
Best For
Shoppers prioritizing torque-sensing assistance and a larger published battery capacity within the Mooncool lineup.
Trade-offs and Buying Checks
Do not infer 100 miles under typical real-world riding conditions. Check the precise folded footprint, weight, rider fit and availability of service in your area. TK Pro's specification does not list a reverse function.
2. Mooncool TK2 Folding Electric Trike
Product overview
TK2 is a folding electric trike using a 48V 15Ah battery, 500W rated motor (1,092W listed peak), cadence-sensing pedal assist and a single-speed drivetrain. The specification also lists reverse, hydraulic disc brakes, 20 × 3.0-inch tires and up to 75 miles of advertised range.
Key Specifications
- Battery: 48V 15Ah.
- Motor: 500W rated, 1,092W peak; stated torque 65 Nm.
- Pedal sensor: cadence; drivetrain: one speed.
- Brakes: hydraulic disc; tires: 20 × 3.0 in.
- Reverse function: listed as available.
- Top safe speed: 15.5 mph; stated maximum load: 450 lb.
- Foldable frame; manufacturer-stated range: up to 75 miles.
Best For
Buyers who prefer a simpler gear arrangement and want to compare reverse capability with folding storage.
Trade-offs and Buying Checks
The 15Ah battery capacity is below TK Pro's listed 20Ah. Check whether the single-speed configuration suits your routes and hills and confirm the current model's folded dimensions before buying.
3. Mooncool FT1 Fat Tire Electric Trike
Product overview
FT1 stands apart with 20 × 4.0-inch fat tires, seven-speed Shimano gearing and a foldable design. Its published specifications list a 48V 14.5Ah battery, 500W rated motor (1,092W peak), cadence sensor and mechanical disc brakes. Mooncool advertises up to 60 miles of range and a 400 lb load limit.
Key Specifications
- Battery: 48V 14.5Ah.
- Motor: 500W rated, 1,092W peak; stated torque 45 Nm.
- Pedal sensor: cadence; drivetrain: Shimano seven-speed.
- Brakes: mechanical disc; tires: 20 × 4.0 in.
- Top safe speed: 15.5 mph; stated maximum load: 400 lb.
- Foldable frame; manufacturer-stated range: up to 60 miles.
Best For
Riders comparing wider tires and mechanical gearing for mixed paved and uneven routes, subject to appropriate riding technique and local conditions.
Trade-offs and Buying Checks
FT1 lists a lower load limit than TK Pro and TK2 and mechanical rather than hydraulic brakes. Check clearance, vehicle-carrying arrangements and tire maintenance. The specification does not list reverse.
Buying Notes
Confirm the exact model/variant, current battery specification, shipping destination, warranty exclusions and whether the folded trike fits your storage or transport arrangement. Range claims are not a promise of distance on your route.
Confirm delivery eligibility at checkout.
Check product condition, return shipping and any fees before purchase.
Final Verdict
TK Pro leads on published battery capacity and torque-sensing assist; TK2 adds reverse with a simpler drivetrain; FT1 prioritizes 4-inch fat tires. Choose by riding and storage needs.
FAQ
What is the main difference between Mooncool TK Pro and TK2?
TK Pro lists a 48V 20Ah battery, a torque sensor, six-speed gearing and a 750W rated motor. TK2 lists 48V 15Ah, a cadence sensor, single-speed gearing and a 500W rated motor; it also lists a reverse function.
Does the Mooncool FT1 have wider tires?
Yes. The FT1 specification lists 20 × 4.0-inch tires; TK Pro and TK2 list 20 × 3.0-inch tires. Tire width alone cannot establish suitability for every road surface.
Is Mooncool's advertised range guaranteed?
No. The up-to range figures are published product estimates. Terrain, speed, load, assist mode, temperature and maintenance can change the distance achieved.
How We Researched
We compared Mooncool's published technical specification tables for TK Pro, TK2 and FT1 and reviewed its warranty and FAQ materials. We did not conduct physical testing or independently verify the manufacturer's range claims.
Which Mooncool Trike Is Best for Your Needs?
The most useful distinction is not the highest peak-wattage number. TK Pro pairs torque-sensing assist with a larger battery and six mechanical gears, which may appeal to riders who want motor support to follow pedal pressure. TK2 uses a cadence sensor with a single-speed drivetrain and offers a reverse function, making it a different kind of convenience choice. FT1 has 4-inch tires, seven mechanical speeds and a thumb throttle, but its stated 400 lb load limit is below the 450 lb figure listed for TK Pro and TK2.
All models still require the rider to learn three-wheel turning behavior, braking and weight distribution. Do not assume a three-wheeler eliminates tipping risks, and practice in a controlled area before regular road use.
Compare Options
| Model | Battery | Motor (rated / peak) | Advertised max range | Key decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TK Pro | 48V 20Ah | 750W / 1,310W | Up to 100 miles | Torque sensor, 6-speed, hydraulic disc brakes |
| TK2 | 48V 15Ah | 500W / 1,092W | Up to 75 miles | Cadence sensor, single-speed, reverse, hydraulic brakes |
| FT1 | 48V 14.5Ah | 500W / 1,092W | Up to 60 miles | 20 × 4.0-inch tires, 7-speed, mechanical brakes |
These are Mooncool's published specifications, not side-by-side test results. Range estimates should not be treated as directly comparable under every terrain and assist setting.
Motor, Brakes and Handling
TK Pro and TK2 list hydraulic disc brakes, whereas FT1 lists mechanical disc brakes. Actual stopping distance depends on setup, load, surface and rider technique; neither specification alone proves superior real-world braking. TK Pro lists a torque sensor, while TK2 and FT1 list cadence sensors. A torque sensor uses pedaling force as an assist input; a cadence sensor responds to pedaling rotation. Test-ride where possible to establish which feels more intuitive.
Mooncool publishes 15.5 mph as the top safe speed for these variants. Check local e-trike rules, intended paths and accessible parking before purchase.
Fit, Assembly and After-Sales Checks
Mooncool's product specifications show folding designs and published geometry tables; the models do not fold to identical dimensions. Check the exact product dimensions instead of relying on the word “foldable.” The company lists approximately 90% preassembly, which still leaves final setup and safety inspection to be completed.
Mooncool's published warranty policy describes lifetime frame coverage, two years for the battery and one year for listed accessories/parts, subject to ownership and exclusions. The seller's FAQ describes conditional trike returns within 30 days and shipping arrangements that depend on the destination. Read current policy terms and inspect the carton promptly after delivery.
