Electric Pedicab
Conversion Kit

Turn a traditional pedal pedicab into an electric-assist earner. The Xion Axle Motor Conversion Kit swaps in a direct-drive motor, axle, and controller — the same drivetrain we build into our commercial pedicabs.

Can you convert a regular pedicab to electric? Yes. The Xion Axle Motor Conversion Kit ($3,000) replaces a pedicab's rear axle with a direct-drive transaxle motor system — motor, axle assembly, controller, and all mounting hardware included. It adds throttle and pedal-assist power so one driver can pull a full passenger load up hills and across long shifts without burning out. The kit uses the same drivetrain Xion builds into its commercial electric pedicabs.

Kit vs. Buying New

A conversion kit makes sense if you already own a sound pedicab frame and want to electrify it. If you're starting from scratch or building a fleet, a new commercial electric pedicab ($13,500 for the 3-seat) arrives fully assembled, road-tested, and covered by a 2-year frame warranty — with the drivetrain already dialed in. Many operators run both: convert their older cabs and buy new ones as they scale. Compare full pedicab pricing to decide.
