Partnership Facilitates Development of US Market-Ready Tilting Suspension Cargo Trike

PORTLAND, Ore. – October 31, 2024 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Vvolt, a leader in electric mobility solutions, today announces a collaboration with Envision Incorporated to bring a new version of the groundbreaking STREEK cargo trike to the US market. Known for its innovative design and compact urban utility, the STREEK trike was originally developed by Envision for the Japanese market. Under the new partnership, the system will be adapted for American consumers, combining Vvolt’s ebike expertise with STREEK’s modular cargo system and cutting-edge suspension technology.

The STREEK cargo trike features a distinctive tilting front suspension system made from lightweight carbon fiber, delivering stable and smooth rides at all speeds, even under heavy loads. Its modular design is user-customizable for one or two-tier cargo storage, balancing large load capacity with compact dimensions, making it ideal for city dwellers and businesses requiring agile transportation. The electric pedal assist enables easy cargo handling up to 130 lbs while maintaining excellent maneuverability even on tight urban streets​.

“We’re thrilled to work with Envision Incorporated to adapt their innovative STREEK design for the US market. Its tilting suspension and multi-level cargo storage make it perfect for the growing demand for sustainable and efficient urban mobility, and it’s an incredibly unique design with huge potential,” said Vvolt CEO and Founder, Kyle Ranson.

The original STREEK gained recognition for delivering a smooth, versatile experience for personal cargo, family outings, and deliveries. Its slim, nimble frame, developed to comply with Japan’s strict traffic laws, will be adapted by Vvolt to serve a wide range of American users​.

“STREEK’s unique design, with features that make it ideal for use in Japan’s cities and for adventures outside, has attracted attention all over the world. This partnership with Vvolt is an exciting opportunity to bring STREEK to e-mobility fans in North America,” said Harry Uden, president of Envision Incorporated.

In addition to the electric cargo trike, Vvolt plans to incorporate elements of the STREEK modular cargo system into its upcoming cargo bikes. This further expands Vvolt’s product lineup, offering a range of electric cargo solutions for diverse needs and riders. The mid-drive cargo bikes will be ideal for riders looking for a compact yet capable vehicle. STREEK’s modular mounting system offers a clear advantage for riders seeking a sturdy and stable platform for bicycle cargo carry.

Prototypes are currently in development at Vvolt’s Portland, Oregon headquarters, and the crowdfunding consumer announcement is expected in Spring, 2025.
