Price of tricycles in Nigeria
Tricycles in Nigeria fall into three groups: passenger kekes, cargo tricycles for goods, and electric versions of both. New petrol passenger kekes cost about ₦3.9m to ₦4.5m in late 2026, and electric passenger models are listed at about ₦4m to ₦4.8m. Cargo tricycles vary more, depending on load size and box type.

Which tricycle suits your business?
| Type | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger keke | Carrying passengers on short routes | State permits and route restrictions |
| Open cargo tricycle | Market goods, building materials | Overloading damages the frame |
| Box cargo tricycle | Deliveries, FMCG distribution | Box size versus load weight |
| Electric tricycle | Low running costs on fixed routes | Charging access and battery life |
A box cargo tricycle is one of the cheapest ways to run an FMCG delivery round in busy cities. It fits through traffic and narrow streets where vans can’t go. See our guide to FMCG distributorship.
Will an electric tricycle pay off?
For a fixed daily route with somewhere to charge, an electric tricycle can cost about a third as much to run as petrol, based on September 2026 fuel and electricity prices. The trade-off is the battery: ask about warranty, replacement cost and who repairs it.
