Two notes on reading it. The planning range is ours, not Eskute’s: capacity divided by the 20 watt-hours per mile we use across this site, which is deliberately less flattering than the 65 and 80 mile claims and far more likely to survive a loaded basket and a throttle. And neither trike publishes a rated motor figure — only a 1200 W peak. A peak number tells you almost nothing about sustained climbing, which is why the 7-speed drivetrain on the Pro is the more useful hill spec than any wattage on either page.
The fit question, which decides it for most people
This is the part a spec comparison usually skips and the part that actually sends trikes back.
Eskute states a 28.4-inch minimum seat height on the T300 and a lower rider limit of 4 foot 9. On the Pro those become 31.9 inches and 5 foot 2. That three-and-a-half inch difference is the single biggest practical gap between the two machines, because on a trike you cannot compensate by leaning the frame over at a stop — the thing stands up on its own and your legs have to reach the pedals from a fixed seat. If you are at or near 5 foot, the Pro is not a bike you should buy and the T300 is the only one of the pair worth your money. Published rider-height ranges are rare in this bracket, which is why we trust the ones Eskute gives.
In the other direction, a taller rider on the T300 will have the seat near the top of its range with their knees high on 18-inch wheels. That is where the Pro’s higher seat and 20-inch wheels earn their keep.
The weight question, which decides it for the rest
93 lb and 110.2 lb are both a lot. Folding helps less than you would hope: a folded trike is a shorter, more awkward 93 or 110 lb object, not a light one, and the Pro folds to 36.6 inches against the T300’s 31.5.
In plain terms: neither of these is a one-person lift into a car trunk. If the trike has to travel, plan a hitch rack with a published per-bike rating and a ramp — our e-bike car rack picks cover the ones that publish real numbers, and our transport guidecovers the rest. If it lives in a garage and never travels, the weight difference matters far less and the Pro’s capacity advantage is free.
The certification gap, stated plainly
Both trikes share the same weakness, and it is the reason a third pick is on this page. Eskute publishes a TUV-certified battery and no UL 2849 listing for the complete e-bike. UL 2849 covers the whole electrical system — charger, controller, motor and pack as one — and it is the certification the CPSC points consumers at. Two of the trikes in our electric trike rounduppublish both UL 2849 and UL 2271 with the testing house named, and one of them, the Vivi FatGo1, sits in the same price band as the T300 Pro. If certification is your first filter rather than fit or price, buy that instead — we wrote it up in full in our Vivi FatGo1 review, including the three places Vivi’s own spec sheet contradicts itself.
Whichever you buy, follow the CPSC charging guidance: the supplied charger only, a location you can see and that does not block your exit, and no overnight charging in a bedroom or hallway. Our battery-care guide has the habits that actually extend pack life, and how long an e-bike battery takes to charge explains why both of these trikes claim the same 4–6 hours despite one pack being half again the size of the other.
Who should buy which
Buy the T300 ifyou are shorter than about 5 foot 4, your rides are under roughly 30 miles, you want the lowest price onto three wheels, or the trike has to be stored and shuffled in a tight space. It is the cheaper, lighter, better-fitting trike and for most buyers it is simply the right one.
Buy the T300 Pro ifyou are over 5 foot 2 and at least one of these is true: you ride further than a 624 Wh pack goes, you carry loads that make a 450 lb published payload matter, or your route has real gradients where the 7-speed and the fatter tires are worth 17 extra pounds.
Buy neither ifa published UL 2849 listing for the complete bike is non-negotiable for you. That is a reasonable position, it rules out both of these, and the trike roundup names the two that satisfy it.
