Can Jackery Power an Electric Tricycle? Which Model & How Long Can It Run

Yes, Jackery can power electric tricycles in different capacities and motor sizes. The Jackery Solar Generators act as reliable companions to charge the riders' electric tricycles wherever they go. If you plan to spend time outdoors and connect with nature, the solar battery chargers can help you explore the unexplored by charging the electric tricycles.

However, the exact size of the solar power generator needed for the electric tricycle will depend on the amount of electricity the device uses or how long you want to run it. In this guide, we will reveal which Jackery model is compatible with the electric tricycle and how long each power station can charge the appliance.

How Much Electricity Does an Electric Tricycle Use?

On average, the electric tricycles consume anywhere between 250W and 500W of electricity per hour. Some high-performance electric tricycles use 1000 watts or more. However, the exact amount of electricity needed will depend on the speed, load, and terrain.

Can Jackery Power an Electric Tricycle?

Yes, Jackery can power electric tricycles featuring different motor sizes. You can carry the battery power stations with the help of their sturdy handles and power electric tricycles in remote locations where access to electricity is not available. Here, we will reveal the working hours of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge a 250W electric tricycle:

Note: The estimated wattage of the electric tricycle is considered 250W. The values in the table are just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.

Let's now help you understand how to calculate the exact size of the portable power station needed for electric tricycles:

Step 1: Note the Starting and Running Wattage of the Electric Tricycle

To get started, you need to look at the starting and running wattage of electric tricycles. You can find the wattage consumption of an electric tricycle on the display panel. The display panel may also show other information, such as speed, battery life, etc. Refer to the appliance wattage chart for a quick estimate of the electric tricycle wattage consumption. You can also find the wattage consumption by multiplying the amps and volts of the electric tricycles.

Step 2: Check the Rated and Surge Peak Output of Jackery

You need to match the electric tricycle's wattage consumption with the Jackery Portable Power Station's rated output. Ideally, the portable power station's rated output should be higher than the tricycle's wattage consumption.

A trick to check the rated output is to check the model number (only if it is not a plus series). For example, the rated output of the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 would be 1000W. The surge peak wattage is typically twice the rated output, equal to 2000W.

Example:

Suppose you own an electric tricycle drawing 250W of electricity per hour. If you are charging the electric tricycle with the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus, the running time will be equal to:

Working Hours = Battery Capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ Operating Wattage of the Electric Tricycle = 1264Wh × 0.85 ÷ 250W = 4.2H

Note: Some power loss occurs when charging the appliances, which is why we have multiplied the battery capacity by 0.85.

Jackery Solar Generators for Different Electric Tricycles 

Based on different electric tricycle models and their contexts of use, we will recommend the three best Jackery Solar Generators. The solar-powered generator can charge electric tricycles during home backup emergencies and outdoor adventures like camping.

Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus — Recommended for Small Electric Tricycles 

The Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus is one of the smaller yet powerful solar battery chargers that can charge most types of electric tricycles, so you are prepared for the next adventure trip. It weighs only 16.1 lbs and has high-level outdoor durability, making it ideal for outdoor adventures.

Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus — Recommended for Extended Road Trips

The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus would be a great option if you want more power in a small size. It supports up to 99% of essential appliances, including different types of electric tricycles. Those planning to charge appliances during the next road trip can choose this solar generator.

Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus — Recommend for Off-Road Travel

The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus is a large-capacity generator ideal for extended outdoor trips with friends and family members. Its safe and stable power output ensures the appliance remains protected when charging. The battery capacity can be extended from 2kWh to 24kWh, so you always remain powered.

Note: The running times mentioned in the table are calculated when the solar generator is fully charged.

How to Choose

You can select between the Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station depending on where you want to charge the appliances and for how long. For example, the Jackery Portable Power Station is ideal for camping, RV living, and other outdoor adventures in an area with access to electrical outlets. The portable power stations can be quickly recharged with the wall outlets to continue charging of the appliances.

On the other hand, the efficient Jackery Solar Generator would be more suitable if you plan an outdoor adventure to a remote area with no electricity or if you live in an area with frequent power cuts. The available solar panels can be placed under direct sunlight to collect solar radiation and convert the sun's energy into electricity. The direct current is then converted to AC, which can be stored in the power station and supplied to the appliances.

Conclusion

Check the wattage drawn of the electric tricycle model you have, and then choose the suitable Jackery Solar Generator model. For example, a 250W electric tricycle can be charged with the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus, so you can enjoy a long outdoor trip in remote locations. On the other hand, the small Jackery Solar Generator 600 Plus is a suitable choice if you plan short trips.
