Riding a bike is one of those life skills that I still have not been able to master. And because I’m naturally clumsy, I probably won’t be able to learn it easily. However, I do know how to ride one with a sidecar, since it’s much easier to balance. With the rise of three-wheeled electric rides, maybe soon I’ll be able to bike my way to certain destinations, as long as they’re not too far.
The Kettwiesel One Plus from Hase Bikes introduces a new level of fun and freedom to electric triking. Designed for adults, this e-trike blends ergonomic comfort, innovative engineering, and user-friendly features, making it a standout in the world of personal mobility. It uses Hase’s signature layout with two wheels at the back and one at the front, which gives the trike excellent stability and agile handling. The frame is made from aluminum, ensuring durability while keeping it relatively light for an e-trike, with a starting weight of 35 kg (77 lbs).

One of the highlights of this latest version is its broad adjustability. The Kettwiesel One Plus can be set up for riders from 1.10 meters (3’7”) to 2.00 meters (6’7”). Both the wheelbase and the seat, including backrest height and tilt, are easily adjustable with quick-release levers and the included onboard tool. This lets riders find their perfect fit, whether they prefer a laid-back sporty posture or upright comfort. Riders can choose between above-seat (One Up Plus) and under-seat (One Plus) steering. Both steering options are designed for easy mounting and dismounting: The above-seat handlebars fold up, while the under-seat version features a built-in standing aid.
The “Plus” version is powered by the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, which delivers a robust 100 Nm of torque and comes with a 545 Wh battery. This motor is known for its strong, smooth support, making it easy to tackle hills and longer rides. The suspension system uses a MacPherson strut design, a proven technology in automotive engineering. With 70 mm of travel, the suspension absorbs bumps and uneven surfaces for a comfortable ride. It can also be adjusted to suit the rider’s weight and cargo, supporting up to 140 kg (309 lbs). Gear choices include the stepless Enviolo Automatiq hub or a 5- or 14-speed system (Nexus, Enviolo, or Rohloff), catering to different riding preferences. The braking system combines a front mechanical disc brake with coupled hydraulic discs at the rear for reliable stopping power. The e-trike also features a lighting system powered by the motor battery, including a Busch & Müller IQ-X headlight and Toplight 2C Plus taillight.
For real-world convenience, the Kettwiesel One Plus can be parked upright to save space or folded down to a compact size, making it easy to fit into most car trunks or small storage areas. Both the seatback and handlebar unit fold with minimal effort. Hase offers a wide range of accessories, such as racks, bags, adaptive equipment for special needs, and safety features like turn signals and mirrors. This makes the Kettwiesel One Plus adaptable for daily use, errands, or recreational rides. With its stable design, high-end motor system, comfortable ride, and flexible adjustments, the Kettwiesel One Plus is a top-tier e-trike for adults seeking independence and fun on three wheels. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or simply enjoying the outdoors, this trike is ready to deliver.
