DWMEIGI MG708 Hera Urban Electric Tricycle Overview
The DWMEIGI MG708 Hera is the entry-level electric tricycle in DWMEIGI’s lineup – a 350W front brushless hub motor, 36V 13Ah removable lithium battery, Shimano 7-speed gearing, and 24-inch Kenda tyres in a step-through steel frame with a 15-inch step-over height. Up to 25 miles on pure electric and 35 miles on pedal assist, 15 mph top speed, and an oversized rear basket (19x15x10 inches) make it a practical, accessible choice for neighbourhood commuting, community errands, and grocery shopping. Available in Blue and Red at $1,499.
Who Is the Hera For?
The Hera is designed for older adults, seniors, and anyone who wants the stability of a three-wheel platform for daily errands and community riding. The 15-inch step-through height makes mounting and dismounting easy regardless of mobility limitations. The 300 lb load capacity accommodates most adult riders. The Shimano 7-speed provides sufficient gear range for flat to moderate urban terrain, and the 25 to 35 mile range covers the majority of daily errand and commuting needs. The oversized rear basket handles a full grocery load without additional accessories.

Why Electric Trikes Are the Right Choice for Many Riders
Electric trikes offer a fundamentally different riding proposition from two-wheel electric bikes. Three wheels provide self-standing stability that eliminates the balance demands of two-wheel alternatives – the trike stays upright at stops without the rider needing to put a foot down. This makes electric trikes particularly suited for older riders, riders with balance concerns, riders recovering from injuries, and anyone who finds the balance management of a two-wheel bike uncomfortable or tiring over extended periods.
Cargo carrying is another area where trikes substantially outperform two-wheel bikes. The stable, flat rear carrier and front basket can hold significant weight without the handling compromise that cargo creates on a two-wheel bike. DWMEIGI trikes include front and rear baskets from the factory – no aftermarket investment required for practical cargo use.
The step-through frame design on DWMEIGI trikes removes a second barrier. Conventional bike frames require the rider to swing a leg over the top tube, which requires hip flexibility and balance that not all riders have. DWMEIGI’s step-through frames allow riders to step into the trike from the side and lower onto the seat without any leg-lifting requirement – the ideal design for older riders, those with hip or knee concerns, and anyone who commutes in formal attire.
Electric Trike Safety and Riding Tips
Electric trikes handle differently from two-wheel bikes, and riders new to trikes benefit from understanding these differences before riding in traffic. The most important difference is cornering behaviour: trikes do not lean into turns the way two-wheelers do. Taking corners too fast on a trike can cause the outside rear wheel to lift – always slow before corners rather than through them, and keep speed appropriate for the turn radius until you have developed a feel for the trike’s handling. DWMEIGI recommends practicing S-shaped patterns in an open area before road use to build familiarity with trike handling.
Always wear a properly fitted, certified helmet on every ride. At the speeds these trikes are capable of, additional protective gear is recommended. Engage the parking brake whenever leaving the trike unattended on any slope. In wet conditions, allow additional stopping distance – disc brakes perform well in rain, but wet road surfaces reduce traction for the tyres.
Choosing the Right DWMEIGI Trike
The five DWMEIGI models serve different rider priorities. The MG708 Hera is the accessible entry-level trike for neighbourhood and community errands at $1,499, with a 350W motor and 24-inch wheels suited for flat to moderately hilly urban terrain. The MG1703 Zeus steps up to a 750W Bafang motor and fat tyres for more demanding terrain and longer range at $1,999. The MG2302 Silverado at $2,299 brings the premium specification of Bafang motor, Samsung battery, and hydraulic disc brakes in an urban-oriented 24-inch wheel platform. The MG2301 Silverado HD at $2,899 adds fat tyres and MOZO hydraulic suspension for the most demanding all-terrain capability. The MG2303 Blazer at $2,299 adds full suspension with MOZO hydraulic fork and rear shock for maximum ride comfort on varied terrain.

About DWMEIGI
DWMEIGI has been building electric transportation solutions since 2003, committed to quality, reliability, and continuous innovation. Their mission is straightforward: provide affordable light electric vehicles that combine the latest technology with genuine daily-use practicality. The DWMEIGI trike lineup – Hera, Zeus, Silverado HD, Silverado, and Blazer – reflects this mission across five distinct configurations that serve different rider needs, from the accessible Hera for neighbourhood errands to the full-suspension Blazer for maximum comfort on varied terrain.
DWMEIGI components reflect their quality commitment: Bafang motors on the premium models, Samsung battery cells across the lineup, Shimano 7-speed drivetrains, Kenda tyres, and ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes on the Silverado and Blazer models. These are not generic off-the-shelf components – they are the same brands found in premium electric bikes at significantly higher price points, applied to DWMEIGI’s value-positioned trike lineup.
DWMEIGI History and Mission
DWMEIGI has been building electric transportation since 2003. Their stated mission is to provide affordable light electric transportation solutions combined with the latest innovation achievements – and their trike lineup delivers on that promise by specifying Bafang motors, Samsung batteries, Shimano drivetrains, Kenda tyres, and ZOOM hydraulic brakes across a range of models that make premium components genuinely accessible.
Since 2003 DWMEIGI has refined their understanding of what everyday riders actually need from an electric trike: stability without compromise, range sufficient for real daily use, cargo capacity for practical errands, and a design that makes it easy to get on and off regardless of physical limitations. The step-through frame with low step-over height is standard across the DWMEIGI lineup – a design choice that reflects their target audience of adults and seniors who want convenient, stable, comfortable transportation rather than a performance vehicle.
Battery Maintenance and Care
All DWMEIGI trikes use lithium-ion batteries that perform best with consistent care. Charge after each outing rather than waiting for full depletion – lithium cells degrade faster when repeatedly discharged to near-zero. For storage periods of more than a few weeks, charge to approximately 60 to 80 percent capacity before storing. The removable batteries on all DWMEIGI models allow indoor charging without bringing the entire trike inside, which is a significant practical advantage for riders without convenient outdoor charging points.
Store batteries at moderate temperatures – extreme heat and extreme cold both affect lithium cell performance and longevity. In cold weather (below 40°F/5°C), expect reduced range and power delivery; this is normal lithium cell behaviour and performance returns when the battery warms to operating temperature. The smart chargers supplied with all DWMEIGI trikes manage charging voltage and current automatically – simply connect and charge without monitoring the process.
Assembly and Setup
DWMEIGI trikes arrive partially assembled with detailed instructions and all required tools included. DWMEIGI recommends professional assembly; however, the partial pre-assembly and clear instructions make self-assembly straightforward for mechanically capable riders. Common assembly steps include attaching the handlebars, front basket, and mudguards, and checking brake cable tension before the first ride. Our team at Electric Bikes Paradise is available at +1 (307) 429-0021 to walk you through any assembly questions if needed.

The DWMEIGI Hera MG708 ships with full-wrap fenders on both the front and rear wheels, keeping mud and water away from the rider in wet conditions. The fenders are metal rather than plastic, adding durability for long-term daily use in varied weather.
