The Hippo is no ordinary electric trike. Powered by dual motors—one in the rear and one in the front wheel—this is a super powerful electric three-wheel vehicle designed for commuting and for carrying goods or passengers. Unlike a normal e-trike, the Hippo has a differential in its axle, making it easy to maneuver in all kinds of riding conditions.
