Johanson3 scooters are made of a range of 5 light electric stable (trikes)with 4Kw maximum that have high payload capacity and the natural extension of the pedestrian due to its high sitting position.[1] The frame has emerged from an ergonomic posture optimization allowing 3 adults and 2 kids to be positioned in its strongest version and can carry up to 660 lbs of flesh and cargo.

Range of Johanson3 trikes consists of 5 vehicles.[5] The design is a stable three-wheeler, with the driver leaning back rather than sitting (though sitting is an option). Feet rest on a plate, and pressing down on that plate creates a lean on the front wheel, turning the vehicle while the rear wheels remain solidly on the ground.[6] Various models accommodate single riders with their payload.[7] The commuter models are not much wider than the elbows of a rider hunched over a pair of mountain bike handlebars, and can slip through a standard doorway. The overall mobility concept is allowing the latest technology in terms of propulsion. The frame allows also the fitting of different tires such as: off-road tires, spike tires, or balloon tires for soft surfaces.[8]
