Let’s go!
Pros of the Bison Pro E-Trike
Powerful Performance
The Emojo Bison Pro is powered by a 750W Bafang brushless motor and 90 Newton meters of torque! During test rides, this front hub motor delivered a seamless and energetic ride. With a rated voltage of 48V, this e-trike started smoothly and reached speeds of up to 20 mph, which was quite a thrill on three wheels! The motor’s performance remained steady with fast but smooth acceleration.
Long-lasting Dual Battery
One of the standout features of the Bison Pro is its impressive battery range. Equipped with a 48V/23.2Ah Lithium-Ion Dual battery, this trike can cover 45-65 miles on a single charge. Each battery has a test button to tell you whether it’s full. After charging one, the other was already charged. Even though I tested the throttle quite a bit during my first 8-mile ride, there wasn’t a noticeable drop in battery life.
The battery charges fully within 6 hours, making it convenient to recharge in the evening or during a workday.
Comfort and Accessibility
The Bison Pro’s design prioritizes rider comfort and accessibility. The foldable frame’s low step-through height of 15 inches made it easy to get on and off the trike without any hassle and will be especially helpful for riders with less mobility. The added front suspension smoothed out the bumps and dips so I wasn’t uncomfortable.
Robust Build and Weight Capacity
Constructed from durable aluminum alloy, the Bison Pro’s frame feels sturdy. The trike supports riders up to 300 lbs (or rider + cargo), making it suitable for most. Despite its SUV-like build, it was easy to handle and maneuver, thanks to its well-balanced design.
Fat Tire Design
The Emojo Bison Pro Electric Trike features different-sized tires: a 24 x 4.0″ tire at the front and two 20 x 4.0″ tires at the rear. This design choice offers several distinct advantages including greater stability, maneuverability, comfort, and safety. The larger front tire gave me good control and balance, while the smaller rear tires enhanced maneuverability and handling. The three fat tires improved traction on a variety of terrain.
Superior Safety
Safety is paramount for an electric trike, and the Bison Pro excels in this regard with its hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels. These brakes offered excellent stopping power and responsiveness, giving me confidence during my ride. I stopped easily and smoothly every time.
Further, this e-trike offers an easy-to-use parking brake with an unexpected benefit. When I set the brake, the power was cut off. So when you accidentally hit the throttle or pedal, the trike won’t take off without you. Just get in the habit of setting the brake. This error on the easy-to-read LCD will remind you to remove the parking brake when ready to ride.
Convenient Features
The Emojo Bison Pro is packed with thoughtful features that enhanced my test ride experience. Comfortable ergonomic grips and a thumb throttle allowed effortless acceleration. The Shimano 7-speed transmission offered additional control when climbing hills and preserved battery life.
Ample storage baskets added a practical touch and were perfect for carrying groceries, personal items, or even your pet (show pet holder on the site). While the front basket was easily accessible, the large rear basket (21 x 17.5 x 7.5 inches) provided ample storage space. I carried home groceries with no problem!
High Performance and Certification
The upgraded high-performance controller ensures smooth and efficient operation, while the trike’s certification to UL2849 standards underscores its safety and reliability. These features and benefits collectively contributed to a high-quality, dependable ride.

Cons of the Bison Pro E-Trike
The Saddle
I’ll admit, a full saddle with a backrest is desirable on a long ride. However, it seems the backrest leans back a little too far for some riders. Perhaps this design was necessary to fit the front basket when the trike was folded. As you can see, I rode it like any other bike, by sitting up on the saddle. So even though you can move the backrest up or down, it may not be useful for a small rider.
Price
Although the Emojo Bison Pro high-performance e-trike offers lots of value, the $2999 price may be more than you’d like. So you’ll have to decide if the lifestyle flexibility and adventure it offers are worth it.

What To Know Before You Buy
Size & Fit
I appreciate that the Emojo Bison Pro Etrike can fit everyone from 4’10” to 6’10”. But it’s important to note that Emojo states it fits best for riders 5’4” to 6’10”. So, what does that mean exactly? Being 5’1”, I felt very comfortable on it, with one exception… the backrest. I couldn’t even come close to using the backrest and the nose of the seat was a little wide. Thus, I’d say that the Bison Pro does fit almost everyone. If you’re a small rider, you may decide to switch out the seat. Fortunately, many good, inexpensive saddles with backrests (or comfortable seats) are on Amazon.
Assembly Service
Unassembled, the Bison Pro comes in multiple boxes and lots of pieces. However, I’m happy to tell you that Emojo offers assembly service… and I highly recommend you take my advice. You’ll pay $200 for a professionally assembled 3-wheel e-trike, giving you total peace of mind and reduced stress. And, it’ll ship for free and be delivered ready to ride in as little as 1-2 days, depending on your location.
Accessories
Check to see if Emojo is giving away free accessories with your purchase. Then, other special items go with Emojo’s electric trikes, including a rear child seat passenger bench (Amazon) for adult trikes and a tricycle carrier (hitch rack).
E-Trike Carrier
The Emojo trike hitch rack is designed specifically for electric trikes and can carry all 123 lbs (with battery) of the Bison Pro e-trike. This rack offers an incredible opportunity to take your trike to a beautiful bike path or exciting beach boardwalk. Watch this video for details on assembly, hitch attachment, and loading the e-trike. Plus, find out what tools you need to make assembly easy.

Who Should Ride This Trike
What I love about this e-trike is that almost anyone can ride it! The Bison Pro (on Amazon) is perfect for riders with injuries or disabilities or those who have difficulty riding a two-wheel bicycle.
But it also suits riders who want an easy ride to the store or work. And, yes, it’s a wonderful option for 50+ riders and seniors who want to stay active outdoors but not worry about balance or riding too far from home.
And, finally, the Bison Pro is designed with urban dwellers in mind. Its foldable frame lets you store in tight spaces yet it’s easy to ride through the city to pick up dinner or run errands.
Conclusion
After extensive testing, I can confidently say that the Emojo Bison Pro Electric Trike is a top option for anyone seeking a reliable, powerful, and comfortable e-trike. Its combination of performance, range, and thoughtful design makes it an excellent choice for daily commuting and leisurely rides. Whether you’re new to electric trikes or a seasoned rider, the Bison Pro promises a riding experience that’s both fun and functional. So, hop on this amazing adult trike and… enjoy your ride!
