Raptor Trike Electrical Kit (Latest Update – August 2025)

When we first developed the Raptor Rickshaw, we envisioned a future electric version—and today, that vision is reality. Introducing the Raptor Trike Electrical Kit: a complete solution that transforms your existing Raptor Rickshaw into an electric-powered vehicle.

This blog will walk you through its design, assembly, and operation—making your transition to electric simple and effective.

From Design to Simple Operation

The Raptor Trike Electrical Kit is designed with flexibility, comfort, and ease of use in mind. Whether you’re a filmmaker, rental house, or even an actor operating on set, this kit simplifies training and reduces the risk of misoperation during high-pressure shoots.

What’s included in the Raptor Trike Electrical Kit?
See the image below for a full overview.

Basic Operation Guide:

  • Power ON/OFF: Use the main switch to power the Trike on or off.
  • Reverse Mode (R): Activate reverse mode by pressing the dedicated button.
  • Throttle:
    • To accelerate, twist the grip towards you.
    • To decelerate, roll it away from you.
  • Brake: Engage the brake to stop the Trike.
  • Battery Monitor: Keep track of the remaining battery percentage for optimal usage.

How to Install the Raptor Trike Electrical Kit

The Raptor Trike Electrical Kit mounts directly onto the Rickshaw’s Mitchell Cheese Plate using four M10x25 screws. You can center it or shift it to the left/right depending on your payload setup for better balance.

With this design, you can mount the Electrical Kit on Mini Cheese Plate (of Raptor Rickshaw Mini also). Like this way:

The kit also includes an adjustable-length body, a footrest, and a compact seat—ensuring comfortable operation tailored to the user’s size.

At the front, you can install a Front Mitchell Mount, which allows cinematographers to rig a camera setup or scaffold to work seamlessly with a shock-absorbing arm.

Speed and Payload Capacity

The Raptor Trike supports payloads up to 200 kg, making it perfect for carrying a Steadicam operator, camera setups, or even compact crane systems. Whether you’re mounting a camera rig, shock absorbing arm, or a gimbal system, the Trike offers reliable support and smooth operation.

Speed limit: 25 km/h (Drive mode) and 8 km/h (Reverse mode)

Battery Compatibility

One key feature: the Raptor Trike Electrical Kit does not include built-in batteries. Instead, it offers the flexibility to use third-party batteries—allowing you to charge externally, enhance safety, and simplify transportation.

The most popular and default choice is the Dewalt Flexvolt series, widely used by our global customers:

  • U.S. Market: Compatible with DEWALT DCB615 FLEXVOLT® 20V/60V Max 15.0Ah battery.

  • International Market: Compatible with DeWalt 18V/54V XR FLEXVOLT 15.0Ah DCB549-XJ.

The kit includes a built-in Dewalt battery dock—just plug in and you’re ready to roll.

In regions where high-performance batteries like Dewalt Flexvolt are restricted (e.g., Japan), users can opt for 60V lithium batteries in the 12–15Ah range. The battery tray fits packs up to 400 x 100 x 70mm and connects via XT60 port.

⚠️ Before ordering, please contact us if you plan to use non-Dewalt batteries—we’ll help open the power port and remove the Dewalt lock if needed.
