Please note that we do not charge for assembly and actual shipping costs to you are subsidized by Utah Trikes. Optional items chosen through our Trike Configurator will be installed on the trike prior to shipping. Any price differences shown between items here and our standard parts catalog reflect the cost of installation and/or additional hardware needed to install the item. If you would like to install the item yourself please choose the options separately through our catalog. Also note, our trike customizer calculates the price difference between the stock component configuration and the many upgrades that we offer. When you choose upgraded parts through this customizer you will not get the stock parts as the Trike Configurator calculates the price difference between parts. If you want all of the stock parts in addition to the upgrades you must choose the stock trike from here and then choose the full-price replacement components from our catalog. We are adding new options all the time. If there is an option you want us to add let us know. Please contact us if you have any questions.

The name 5.5.9 is the metric measurement of the back wheel (26"). With its seat pad for additional comfort and neutral seating position/bottom bracket height, this trike is great for long touring, commuting, or path riding. The large wheel helps this trike cruise by the 20" folding trikes. That's right! It folds, too!

Catrike's Folding Frame

The 559 features the same folding hinge featured on the Catrike Trail and Catrike Dumont. Catrike's folding design allows the frame to fold in half, be able to stand straight up, and have the chain held out of the way with the help of its kickstand. On the back of the seat Catrike has placed two rolling wheels to be able to move the trike around while staying folded.

The Catrike 559 comes stock with the FSA Gossamer triple crank up front and Catrike's adjustable boom. We have many different gearing options available. Use our configurator above to see what options are currently available.

The 559 is a high performance touring trike without all the fluff, but still coming with everything you need to ride comfortably. Very similar to the Dumont, the 559 comes with all the same features, but without the suspension. You still have the folding hinge, the comfortable padded seat, and a 26 inch rear wheel which makes reaching high and consistent speeds a breeze.

Gearing options are virtually endless. We have great options for both your front and rear gearing. If you're looking to get rid of derailleurs and like the idea of being able to shift while stopped or coasting, maybe an internal gearing solution is the right choice for you!

We are building more and more electric trikes and the Catrike 559 is a great candidate for a motor. All of our motor kits allow you to choose the level of assist you want. That means that as you pedal the motor kicks in automatically providing additional power to your own pedaling efforts. We also provide a thumb-actuated throttle with our Bafang motor systems that act like the gas pedal in your car. Don't want to pedal? No worries, just push the throttle and go!

Boom-Mounted Bafang Middrive Motor

The Bafang Middrive comes in a 750 Watt, 1000 Watt, or Ultra (all with a top speed of 20 MPH). You'll want to choose the motor size based on your style of riding. We install the Bafang motor on your bottom bracket, which means it replaces the front crankset of your trike. The motor being mounted here means the motor can utilize the rear gearing ratios, making it the best for speed and climbing ability

Boom-Mounted Bosch Motor

The Bosch line of motors comes in two variants; The classic "eCat Active Line Plus Kit" (the Catrike factory motor option), or our new "UTcustom eCat Bosch Sport Upgrade." These are both pedal assist motor that do not feature a throttle, but make up for it with their built in torque sensor.

Unlike the Bafang motor systems which have a cadence pedal assist system the Bosch motors utilize a torque sensor which allows for a more natural feeling assist that adjusts to the amount of torque you apply to the pedals.

The Active Line Plus is a class 1 electric motor with a top speed of 20 mph, coming equipped with a 400 watt hour battery. The Performance Line Sport is a class 3 electric motor with a top speed of 28 mph, that comes equipped with a 500 watt hour battery.

Custom Mounting

We make our own custom battery mounts to keep the weight down low and near the rear axle. This keeps the weight of the battery from affecting handling and puts the battery in an easily accessible spot of the trike. All our battery systems come with an AC charger and a two-year pro-rated warranty. We make our own mounts to put the control console, throttle, and other buttons where you need them.

Motor options are available through the configurator above in the FRONT GEARING sections. Need something custom? Just let us know!
