Kit - T3

Convert your SunSeeker T3 into a high-performance electric tadpole trike using the E-BikeKit 500–1000w geared conversion system, as configured on ElectricTrike.com.

• Special parts and configuration specifically for the SunSeeker T3
• Top speed up to 26 mph
• Typical range: 15–30 miles (rider, terrain, and usage dependent)
• Pedal-assist plus throttle-on-demand
• Geared hub motor with internal clutch for zero-drag when pedaling unpowered
• Lighter, more efficient, and more powerful off-the-line than an equivalent direct-drive motor

Who is it for? This premium conversion is ideal for T3 riders who want maximum performance, efficiency, stealth, and speed in a recumbent tadpole platform. There is a 300 lb total load limit; for heavier loads, consider a heavy-duty system.

T3-specific extras: This kit includes locking parking brake levers and a configuration tailored for the SunSeeker T3.

Battery mount note: The universal battery mount is not offered as an add-on for this specialty conversion. If you need the battery mount, please visit the Battery Mount product page and add it to your cart separately.

This specialty kit is configured specifically for the SunSeeker T3 recumbent tadpole trike. It uses a performance geared hub motor and add-on parts that are chosen for this frame and brake setup.

Load capacity: There is a 300 lb total load limit (rider + cargo + trike). For loads above this, consider a heavy-duty system.

Battery mount: The universal battery mount is not included as part of this kit. For T3 installations, the battery location and mounting hardware may vary. If you need the universal battery mount, please order it separately from the Battery Mount product page.

General fitment note: Kits include parts to fit a wide variety of bikes and trikes, but not every frame will be a perfect fit without modification or extra parts. Our representatives can help with compatibility questions and recommend any additional components you might need.

• Front vs Rear Wheel
• Compatibility Guide

The T3 configuration installs similarly to a standard E-BikeKit conversion, with additional attention to cable routing, brake setup, and battery placement specific to the SunSeeker T3 recumbent frame.

• Install the hand-built motor wheel and verify brake and axle fitment
• Mount the controller and LCD display within easy reach of the rider
• Install the PAS sensor and thumb throttle at the handlebars
• Run the motor and accessory cables neatly along the frame
• Mount and secure the battery in a stable location appropriate for the T3 (universal mount sold separately)
