Michigan-based startup Grounded has introduced an exciting innovation that reimagines mobile living. The Grounded T1. This all-electric, standing-room trailer is powered entirely by an electric tricycle, developed in partnership with Civilized Cycles. Combining sustainability, smart technology, and convenience, the Grounded T1 is a game-changer for eco-conscious travelers.
Built on the Semi-Trike Platform
At the core of the Grounded T1โs functionality is Civilized Cyclesโ Semi-Trike platform. This revolutionary platform offers a self-adjusting air suspension system, ensuring a smooth and stable ride even when carrying heavy loads. With a payload capacity of 1,460 pounds, the Semi-Trike provides the carrying capability of a van with the environmental benefits of an e-bike.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
Inside, it features a versatile lounge area that quickly converts into a full bed for two, perfect for overnight stays. A kitchenette allows for meal preparation on the go, while optional add-ons, including a dry-flush toilet and exterior shower, provide additional convenience. Ample storage ensures thereโs room for all your essentials, making the T1 suitable for both short trips and extended adventures.
Powered by Clean Energy
Both the Semi-Trike and the T1โs living systems run entirely on electricity. A built-in 500-Watt solar capacity supplements the energy needs, enabling off-grid functionality. With a range of over 150 miles on a full charge, the T1 offers sustainable travel without compromising efficiency. The max charging rate of 30A ensures a quick recharge, keeping you on the move.
Smart Technology Integration
The Grounded T1 is equipped with the Grounded+ app, a comprehensive tool that allows users to monitor their energy consumption, control appliances, and view real-time battery and water levels. The app also provides diagnostics for potential issues. For those who need internet access, Starlink connectivity keeps you online wherever your adventures take you.
Compact and Sustainable Design
Measuring just 280 cubic feet, the T1 offers a surprisingly spacious interior in a compact footprint. Itโs perfect for urban travel, with a top speed of 15 mph and a design optimized for navigating city streets. Starting at $30,000, the Grounded T1 is an affordable, sustainable option for modern travelers.
A Glimpse Into the Future
The Grounded T1 combines innovation, comfort, and sustainability, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an eco-friendly way to explore. With production set to begin in Spring 2025, this smart trailer is poised to redefine the future of mobile living.
