A tiltable electric tricycle as in the present invention comprises: (a) a frame, (b) a front fork mounted to the frame, (c) a front wheel with hub motor mounted to the front fork, (d) a seat, (e) a steering handle bar, (f) a pair of laterally spaced rear wheels on a common axle, (g) a support base with two quick release clamps for securing the axle of the rear wheels and the base has a shaft tube fitted into the bottom tube of the frame to connect to the frame rotatably, (h) a pair of footrests, (i) a battery to power the hub motor; furthermore the bottom tube points to the ground contact point of the front wheel; furthermore the frame has a horizontal oriented metal plate at the rear end of the bottom tube positioned above the support base of the rear wheels; and when the frame is tilted relative to the rear wheel support base to a certain extent, an end of the metal plate touches the rear wheel support base and thereby restricts the extent the frame can tilt; furthermore the axle of the rear wheels is secured to its support base using two quick release clamps and can be released quickly from the quick lease clamps so that the axle with two rear wheels can be separated from the rest of the tricycle for easy transportation; furthermore the two footrests are rotatably connected to the base and can swing toward the rear of the tricycle to reduce the width of the tricycle. In operation, the rider of the tricycle seats on the seat with two feet stepping on the footrests of the rear frame to keep balance and can tilt the front part of the tricycle around the axis line to maintain balance in response to road condition, speed, or turning while the rear part with two rear wheels remain stable.
