Qingdao Tune Technology Co., Ltd. builds Electric Food Bikes at its 4,500-square-meter production site in Shandong, China. This is a pedal-assisted vending tricycle for mobile coffee, gelato, cold drinks, and light snacks. It is used in pedestrian zones, park paths, campus walkways, and indoor venues where exhaust fumes are restricted. The electric drivetrain runs on a 48V battery with a pedal-assist sensor, and the cargo box is built from food-grade 304 stainless steel. A pedal-only version without the electric motor is listed under Food Bike, and where more floor area is needed, the towable Food Trailer is the alternative.
The drivetrain uses a 48V 500W to 750W brushless rear hub or mid-drive motor with 65 Nm to 85 Nm of torque. The battery is a 48V 20Ah to 40Ah LiFePO4 pack managed by a smart BMS. Pedal-assisted range is 50 to 80 km on a 4-hour charge. A cadence sensor adjusts motor assistance based on pedal input, which helps on slopes when the bike is loaded. The battery is removable for charging and can be swapped for a second pack to extend daily operation.
The Electric Cargo Street Snack Food Bike uses a 2,400 mm chassis and a 950 mm width, with a front cargo box volume up to 1.2 cubic meters. Total load capacity is 220 kg. Wheels are 20-inch front and 24-inch rear double-wall aluminum rims with puncture-resistant street tires. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels provide stopping power under load. The box can be configured for a griddle, beverage containers, or ice chests.
The main frame is TIG-welded 4130 chromoly steel tubing with a 2.5 mm wall thickness. Chromoly has higher tensile strength and fatigue resistance than standard carbon steel or aluminum, which matters when the bike is used daily over cobblestones, curb drops, and unpaved paths. After welding, the frame goes through multi-stage electrophoretic immersion priming and a baked enamel powder coat. This protects against rain, road salt, and food acid spills.
The front compartment can be built with dual-zone insulation using 35 mm high-density polyurethane foam. For ice cream or cold brew, a 12V DC eutectic cold-plate cell holds dairy between 2°C and 6°C for over 8 hours without grid power. The hygiene station includes twin 15L HDPE fresh and greywater tanks, a 12V diaphragm pump, and a stainless steel handwashing sink. These features are intended to help operators meet local health codes.
Specialty coffee roasters use the bike at transit stations and office courtyards. Gelato and frozen dessert vendors use it inside malls, botanical gardens, and private event grounds where combustion vehicles are not allowed. Event caterers use fleets for marathons, music festivals, and holiday markets. Because the motor is quiet and produces no tailpipe emissions, it can operate indoors and in low-emission zones.
Before crating, each bike completes a 30 km road test under a 200 kg load to check motor thermal stability, differential function, and braking distance. Battery packs undergo dielectric insulation tests, overcharge protection verification, and UN38.3 transport certification. Stainless food-contact surfaces are inspected for sanitation. The bike is partially disassembled, wrapped in protective foam, and packed in export-grade wooden crates. TUNE provides a 12-month structural factory warranty and wiring schematics.
Electric Food Bikes can be supplied with CE, ISO 9001, DOT, EPR, COC, and NSF-aligned documents where required. TUNE is listed as an Alibaba Gold Supplier and has undergone regular third-party inspections by SGS and Intertek. Certificate numbers, scope, and validity can be provided before ordering.
Q: What is the range on a full charge?
A: Pedal-assisted range is 50 to 80 km, depending on load, terrain, and assist level. A 4-hour charge brings the battery to full.
Q: Can the battery be removed for charging?
A: Yes. The pack is removable and can be charged indoors. A second pack can be swapped in to extend daily operation.
Q: Is the bike allowed indoors?
A: The electric motor produces no exhaust, so it is often allowed in malls, exhibition halls, and covered venues. Check local rules for food service and battery charging.
Q: What load can it carry?
A: The chassis and cargo box are rated for a total load of 220 kg, including the operator, equipment, and stock.
Q: What after-sales support is available?
A: TUNE offers a 12-month structural warranty, remote technical support, and shipment of common spare parts such as battery packs, brake pads, pumps, and controllers. Terms are stated in the contract.
