NWOW ERV

The NWOW ERV's exterior is both charming and practical. It’s mounted on a compact yet sturdy steel frame (1,700mm length × 740mm width × 1,050 mm height) that ensures stability while navigating urban roads. The tricycle is available in maroon, orange, blue, and silver colors. The tri-wheel layout lends an old-school, amiable vibe, appealing to families, retired persons, and urban commuters alike. The adjustable headlight and the handlebar-mounted mirrors create a clean, approachable face. Functionality takes center-stage with built-in front and rear cargo baskets. These are ideal for errands, groceries, or personal items. The instrument panel is a crisp 48V LCD display. It shows speed, battery level, turn-signal and neutral indicators, parking brake status, low-voltage alerts, and a high-beam light. It’s much more than what’s expected from an ERV. This panel blends seamlessly into the simple handlebar setup, giving riders vital info at a glance without overwhelming them. The NWOW ERV's exterior design blends nostalgic charm and functional form. It’s just perfect for short-range utility rides. The NWOW ERV's thoughtful features, including the well-designed instrument panel and cargo readiness, elevate it beyond a simple tricycle.

The NWOW ERV offers ride comfort experience tailored more for city commuting than long-distance travel. The suspension system features a basic telescopic front fork and dual rear shock absorbers that are tuned to prioritize everyday practicality over plushness. On city roads, particularly at low to moderate speeds, the ERV handles potholes, speed bumps, and uneven pavement with decent composure. The suspension effectively absorbs minor shocks, ensuring that short intra-city rides remain relatively smooth for both the rider and passengers. However, the lightweight frame and limited suspension travel become apparent on poorly maintained roads or when carrying a full passenger load. Vibrations from rough surfaces can filter through, reducing overall comfort. On long roads, the NWOW ERV feels out of its element. The suspension struggles to deal with sustained high-speed undulations or abrupt surface changes, and the vehicle’s low top speed and limited stability further diminish highway ride quality. Overall, the NWOW ERV provides acceptable ride comfort in slow-paced city conditions, especially for short distances. Its suspension is functional but basic, and while sufficient for urban use, it’s not designed to handle the demands of high-speed or long-distance travel.

The NWOW ERV is equipped with a 350–900W brushless motor that’s powered by 48V, 20Ah lead-acid battery. The combination delivers a smooth yet modest thrust suited for urban commuting The belt-drive system efficiently channels the motor’s torque, aiding a top speed around 30–35kmph, with a real-world city range of 50–60 km. Handling is agile, courtesy the lightweight frame and compact dimensions. The tricycle has a kerb weight of less than 75kg. The NWOW ERV is ideal for tight city streets Overall, the vehicle strikes a reliable balance of motor capacity, battery power, and nimble handling, perfect for casual daily errands, though enthusiasts may crave more punch.

The NWOW ERV’s braking and safety system delivers solid performance. Both front and rear drum brakes offer reliable power, complemented by hydraulic suspension that enhances stability at a modest speed. A safety‐switch brake engages immediately in emergencies for quick deceleration Overall, the braking apparatus is simple, effective, and well-suited for leisurely, safe rides.

At a starting price of ₱36,000, the NWOW ERV is a fairly priced tricycle. It stands out as a practical and eco-friendly urban mobility solution. With its compact design, electric efficiency, and ease of use, the NWOW ERV is ideal for short commutes and city rides.
