ToysUAE stocks 18 electric trikes from Gambol and Kugoo, ranging from AED 2,039.99 for a basic adult stability trike to AED 6,400 for a premium roof-covered passenger model.
The range splits into three distinct products: personal electric trikes for stability-focused riders, roofed passenger trikes for 1 to 3 people, and hydraulic cargo tuk-tuks for business use. This guide breaks down which type suits which buyer, with real specs and prices for each.
Electric Trike vs Electric Scooter: Why Three Wheels Matter
The core reason someone chooses an electric trike over a two-wheel scooter is stability. A trike does not require balance at a stop, does not tip at low speed, and carries a passenger or cargo load without the rider having to manage weight distribution on two contact points. This makes the category genuinely useful for three types of riders that scooters and bikes do not serve well: older adults who want stability, people transporting a passenger, and small business owners moving cargo.
Personal Electric Trikes: Stability-First Riding
This segment is built for a single rider who wants the confidence of three wheels without a passenger cabin or cargo bed.
- Kugoo T1 Electric Tricycle (AED 2,820): Entry into the Kugoo trike range, built for stable daily riding.
- Kugoo T2 Electric Tricycle (AED 3,350): Larger frame and more capable build than the T1.
- Gambol 3-Wheel Electric Scooter for Adults (AED 2,039.99): The lowest-priced entry point in the entire electric trike range at ToysUAE.
- Gambol 600W 48V Electric Motorcycle 3 Wheel (AED 2,750): Motorcycle-styled frame with a stronger 600W motor for riders who want more power than a basic stability trike.
This category suits older riders who find balancing a two-wheel scooter uncomfortable, or anyone who wants a stop-and-go stable ride around a compound or neighbourhood without the learning curve of two wheels.
Roof-Covered Passenger Trikes: Weather Protection for 1 to 3 Riders
This is the most distinctive segment in the range, and one most UAE buyers do not know exists until they see it. These are enclosed, roof-covered electric trikes designed to carry a driver plus one or two passengers with weather protection built in.
- Gambol Urban Roof 48V Electric Tricycle (AED 3,789): Entry-level roof-covered model.
- Gambol Urban Roof 60V 20AH Electric Tricycle 3 Seater (AED 4,950): Higher voltage, three-seat configuration for a driver and two passengers.
- Gambol Premium 60V Roof Covered Electric Tricycle For 3 Passengers (AED 4,500): Premium build in the 3-passenger category.
- Gambol Urban Roof 60V20AH Electric Tricycle (AED 6,099): The highest-priced roof-covered model in the range.
These suit UAE compound and community use, moving between buildings, running short errands with a passenger, or providing shaded transport for someone who cannot walk long distances in summer heat. The enclosed roof is a genuine practical feature in the UAE, not a styling choice, since it means real protection from direct sun during a ride.
Cargo and Tuk Tuk Trikes: Business and Family Use
Two categories exist here, and they serve very different buyers.
For hydraulic cargo tuk tuks (the 1.6 metre and 1.8 metre Gambol models built for small business delivery, warehouse, and off-road cargo use), see our dedicated Tuk Tuk Cargo Guide, which covers load capacity, business use cases, and buying advice for those two specific models in full detail.
For passenger and family cargo trikes:
- Gambol Foldable Electric Cargo Scooter Tricycle For 3 Passengers (AED 2,529): Foldable design for storage, built to carry three passengers rather than cargo weight.
- Gambol Electric Three Wheel Motorcycle 48V 12AH with Kids Seat (AED 2,800): A stability trike with an integrated kids seat, designed for a parent riding with a young child.
- Gambol 48V 20Ah Electric Tricycle Tuk Tuk (AED 3,500): A lighter tuk tuk-style trike for general passenger and light cargo use, distinct from the dedicated hydraulic cargo models.
Which Electric Trike Should You Actually Buy?
- First electric trike, budget-conscious: The Gambol 3-Wheel Electric Scooter for Adults at AED 2,039.99 is the lowest entry point in the range.
- Established brand with known after-sales support: The Kugoo T1 (AED 2,820) or T2 (AED 3,350) offer a more recognized brand name in the UAE electric mobility market.
- Riding with a young child: The Electric Three Wheel Motorcycle with Kids Seat (AED 2,800) is purpose-built for this exact use case.
- Weather protection and passenger transport: Any of the roof-covered Urban series models, starting at AED 3,789.
- Business cargo use: The dedicated 1.6m or 1.8m hydraulic cargo tuk tuks, covered in the Tuk Tuk Cargo Guide.

What Every Buyer Should Check Before Purchasing
- Battery voltage: The range spans 48V and 60V systems. 60V models generally offer more range and power, but check the specific listing rather than assuming voltage alone determines quality.
- Seating capacity: Confirm whether the model is a single-rider trike or a passenger model rated for 2 or 3 people. This changes the frame, motor requirement, and practical use case significantly.
- Folding vs fixed frame: If storage space is limited, the foldable cargo scooter tricycle is the only folding option in the current range.
- Age rating: Listed age ratings across the range run from 10+ through to Adults. Confirm the specific product's age rating matches the intended rider, since power and frame size vary significantly between the youngest and adult-rated models.
Riding an Electric Trike in UAE Conditions
Three practical points that apply across the whole range:
- Shade matters more than most buyers expect. The roof-covered models exist specifically because riding exposed in UAE summer sun for more than a few minutes is genuinely uncomfortable. If daily use in summer is the plan, a roof-covered model is worth the price difference over an open trike.
- Battery care in heat. As with any UAE electric vehicle, park in shade where possible and avoid charging in direct heat. This extends battery service life across every model in the range.
- Turning radius in compounds. Three-wheel trikes have a wider turning circle than a two-wheel scooter. Test the turning space in your specific parking or garage area before assuming a larger passenger model will fit comfortably.

Are electric trikes good for older adults?
Yes, personal electric trikes are particularly well suited to older adults because the three-wheel design removes the need for balance at low speed or when stopped, which is the main difficulty riders face with two-wheel scooters and bikes.
Can I ride an electric trike with my child?
Yes, the Gambol Electric Three Wheel Motorcycle 48V 12AH comes with an integrated kids seat specifically designed for a parent to ride with a young child, priced at AED 2,800.
What is the difference between a Gambol and Kugoo electric trike?
Gambol dominates the range with 16 of the 18 available models, spanning personal, roof-covered, and cargo trikes, while Kugoo offers two personal stability trikes (T1 and T2) known for established brand recognition in the UAE electric mobility market.
Do electric trikes fold for storage?
One model in the current range, the Gambol Foldable Electric Cargo Scooter Tricycle For 3 Passengers, is designed to fold for compact storage. Most other models in the range have a fixed frame.
What voltage should I choose for an electric trike?
The range includes both 48V and 60V systems, with 60V generally offering more range and power for passenger and roof-covered models. Check the specific product listing for confirmed range and load capacity rather than assuming voltage alone determines performance.
Are electric trikes suitable for business cargo use?
Yes. The Gambol hydraulic cargo tuk tuk models (1.6 metre and 1.8 metre) are specifically built for business cargo use with load capacities of 400 to 600 kg, distinct from the passenger-focused trikes in the wider range. See the dedicated Tuk Tuk Cargo Guide for full specifications.
What age rating do electric trikes have in the UAE?
Electric trikes at ToysUAE carry age ratings from 10+ through to Adults, depending on the model. Power output and frame size increase significantly between the youngest-rated and adult-rated models, so confirming the specific product's age rating before purchase matters.
How many passengers can an electric trike carry?
Passenger capacity varies by model: personal stability trikes carry one rider, while roof-covered Urban series models are rated for up to three passengers including the driver. Always check the specific listing for confirmed seating capacity before buying for group or family use.
