Description The Sobowo Polar Bear – Australia’s Ultimate Passenger & Utility Electric Tricycle The Sobowo Polar Bear has rapidly become one of the most sought-after electric tricycles in Australia. Designed to carry passengers, transport cargo and tackle challenging terrain, the Polar Bear combines exceptional power with remarkable versatility. Unlike conventional electric tricycles, the Polar Bear is built around a heavy-duty platform featuring dual electric motors, hydraulic disc brakes and a robust frame capable of handling demanding recreational, commercial and rural applications. Whether you are transporting family members, carrying equipment around a large property, operating on a vineyard or simply seeking a stable and comfortable electric tricycle, the Polar Bear delivers outstanding performance and practicality. Dual Motor Performance At the heart of the Polar Bear are two powerful 750W electric motors providing a combined output of 1,500W. This dual-motor system delivers exceptional traction, improved climbing ability and confident performance on gravel roads, steep driveways, grassed areas and rural properties.

Designed For Passenger Transport The Polar Bear is one of the few electric tricycles available in Australia specifically designed to transport passengers safely and comfortably. Customers can choose from two passenger seating configurations depending on their intended use. Dual Front-Facing Passenger Seat The optional dual front-facing passenger seat allows two children or passengers to travel comfortably while maintaining excellent visibility and interaction with the rider. Single Rear-Facing Passenger Seat The optional rear-facing passenger seat provides an alternative configuration suited to carers, family outings and recreational use. These passenger options make the Polar Bear an excellent choice for: Families with young children Holiday parks and resorts Tourism operators Community organisations Large private properties Mobility and recreational applications Commercial & Rural Applications The Polar Bear has proven extremely popular with Australian businesses seeking a practical and environmentally friendly transport solution.

This capability has made the Polar Bear particularly attractive to rural property owners who require a practical alternative to larger petrol-powered utility vehicles. When combined with the rear cargo platform, the Polar Bear becomes a remarkably versatile work vehicle capable of carrying substantial loads while remaining economical to operate. Exceptional Cargo Capacity Beyond passenger transport, the Polar Bear offers substantial carrying capacity for shopping, picnic equipment, tools, supplies and everyday cargo.
