EVO I or EVO II? How to Choose the Right Electric Cargo Tricycle for Your Business

If you have been looking at MOVE’s electric cargo tricycles and are not sure which model to go with, this guide will help you decide. There are three models in the EVO series, each built for a different kind of job. Here is a straightforward breakdown of what each one does and who it is built for.

The Three Models at a Glance

Most operators focus on the purchase price. The number that actually matters is what you spend over 3 years.

All three models run on Ningde Lithium-Ion batteries with a 2-year battery warranty and 1-year spare parts warranty, and all are assembled locally in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

EVO I (Lite) — RM 11,600

The EVO I is the entry point into the MOVE range. At 500KG payload and a 1,000W motor, it is built for businesses that need a reliable daily workhorse without the added weight capacity of the larger models.

Best for:

• Small farms and paddy fields
• Last-mile delivery in housing estates and shop lot
• Pasar and hawker supply runs
• Residential and gated community maintenance team

What makes it practical: The smaller cargo box (1,500 x 1,000 mm) makes it easier to navigate tighter paths and loading areas. At 50 KM/H top speed, it is also the quickest of the three for point-to-point runs.

If your daily loads stay under 500KG and you are working in tighter spaces, the EVO I gives you everything you need at the lowest entry price.

EVO II (Standard) — RM 12,600

The EVO II Standard steps up to 750KG payload with a 1,500W motor. The cargo box is larger at 1,800 x 1,300 mm, giving you more room for bulkier loads.

Best for:

• Medium-sized plantations and rubber estates
• Construction sites moving materials between zones
• Warehouses and logistics centres with internal transport needs
• Businesses that regularly carry loads between 500KG and 750KG

What makes it practical: For an extra RM 1,000 over the EVO I, you get 50% more payload capacity and a bigger cargo bed. If your loads are consistently pushing the limits of 500KG, this is the version that removes that concern entirely.

One thing to note: the EVO II Standard has a top speed of 40 KM/H compared to the EVO I’s 50 KM/H. This is a normal trade-off. A heavier vehicle carrying more payload requires more torque to move the load safely, which means the motor is calibrated for pulling power rather than top speed. For plantation and worksite use, this is rarely a concern.

EVO II (Pro) — RM 14,600

The EVO II Pro is the top of the range. With a 2,000W motor, a 72V / 130AH Ningde battery, and 1,000KG payload capacity, it is built for the most demanding jobs on Malaysian estates and worksites.

Best for:

• Large oil palm estates transporting fresh fruit bunches (FFB)
• Heavy construction material transport
• Operations on steep terrain or long daily distances
• Businesses that need the longest range between charges (up to 130 KM)

What makes it practical: The larger battery (130AH vs 80AH) gives the Pro a travel range of 80 to 130 KM per charge, which is significantly more than the Lite and Standard. If your operation covers large ground or runs long hours, the Pro handles a full day without needing a mid-shift charge.

The 1,000KG payload also means one trip instead of two for heavier loads, which adds up to real time and fuel savings across a week.

Which One Should You Get?

Here is a simple way to decide:

• Choose EVO I if your loads stay under 500KG, you are working in tighter spaces, and you want the most affordable entry point into electric transport.
• Choose EVO II Standard if your loads regularly hit 500KG or above, you need a bigger cargo bed, and you want more motor power without jumping to the full Pro spec.
• Choose EVO II Pro if you are running a large plantation or heavy-duty worksite, you need 1,000KG payload, you cover long distances daily, or you want the longest range and most powerful motor in the range.

All Three Share the Same Core Advantages

Whichever model you choose, you get the same fundamentals that make the EVO series different from diesel alternatives:

• Ningde Lithium-Ion battery with 2-year battery warranty and 1-year spare parts warranty
• Advanced hydraulic front suspension and heavy-duty rear suspension
• Digital LCD dashboard showing speed and battery level
• LED headlights for early morning and late evening operations
• Integrated rear axle motor for reliable torque on slopes
• Local assembly in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan with local after-sales support

See It Before You Decide

The best way to know which model fits your operation is to run it on your own terrain. MOVE offers test drives at your location so you can load it up, take it up a slope, and see exactly how it performs before you commit.
