Twelve pedal tricycles on one sourcing platform: 2-5 years, 50 kg rated, carbon steel frame, rubber wheels. From 50 pieces per model, FOB Tianjin, with carton data you can check against the container yourself.
Four buying decisions cover most tricycle orders: whether the handlebar carries a music board, whether the shell is motorcycle-styled, which character sits on the front, and whether there is a front basket.
Same 2-5 year platform, same 50 kg rating, same 50 pcs MOQ. What separates them is the front figure, the seat trim and the carton — five carton sizes from 0.179 to 0.230 CBM, which is why one model loads 1,665 pieces and another loads 2,178.
A tricycle is the step before a scooter. The same buyer who lists 3-wheel scooters gets asked for a pedal tricycle for the two- and three-year-old, and if you cannot quote one, that order leaves for someone who can. Adding twelve shells is cheaper than losing the shelf.
We source tricycles from partner factories in Pingxiang County, the same cluster our scooter line comes from. Tricycle frames are welded steel rather than folded aluminium, so the factories that build them are not the ones that build scooters — but they sit inside the same 20-minute drive, and the loading, inspection and paperwork run through the same process.
We are a sourcing partner, not a tricycle factory. We do not own the welding jigs or the paint line. What we own is the order: the carton data you see below is measured, the pre-shipment check is done by us, and the photographs of your cartons at loading are taken by us.
Cartons staged for loading — counted by model and photographed before the container closes.
These are the numbers we quote from, not estimates. Five cartons, twelve models, and the pieces per 40HQ that follow from them.
| Carton | CBM | Models | Pcs / carton | Cartons per 40HQ | Pieces per 40HQ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 76 x 57 x 53 cm | 0.230 | V131, V133, V273 | 6 | 295 | 1,770 |
| 76 x 56 x 51 cm | 0.217 | V777, V6950, V1063, V880 | 6 | 313 | 1,878 |
| 76 x 56 x 48 cm | 0.204 | V888, V980 | 6 | 333 | 1,998 |
| 76 x 56 x 48 cm | 0.204 | VF9 | 5 | 333 | 1,665 |
| 76 x 56 x 44 cm | 0.187 | V1099 | 6 | 363 | 2,178 |
| 76 x 56 x 42 cm | 0.179 | V654 | 5 | 379 | 1,895 |
Container loads are calculated against 68 CBM of usable space in a 40HQ. VF9 shares the V888 carton but packs 5 instead of 6, which is why it loads fewer pieces into the same 333 cartons.
Five steps. The one most suppliers skip is number four.
You pick the shell, colour way and any logo. We confirm carton size, CBM and gross weight in writing before any deposit. The eight checks to run on a tricycle supplier are on a separate page.
A production sample ships by express in about a week. The sample cost is refunded against the bulk order.
We confirm the schedule per order, because a custom colour box adds a print run in front of assembly.
We open cartons, check steering, pedals, seat fixings and paint, and send photos and video before loading.
FOB Tianjin, with packing list, invoice and B/L. We photograph the container as it closes.
The four things buyers ask about before a first order — and the honest answer to each.
Per model, not per order. Mixed containers are normal, so you can test three shells in one shipment.
Logo, colour box and decals. Logos need no tooling; a colour box starts at 500 pcs per model.
Quoted FOB Tianjin, 30% deposit, balance before loading. You nominate the forwarder or we quote one.
Invoice, packing list, B/L, and a certificate of origin where your broker asks for one.
The same destinations as our scooter line, because it is largely the same buyers.
Our largest market. Nhava Sheva and Chennai, price-led, with character fronts selling best in tier-2 cities.
Chile, Peru and Colombia. Bright colour ways and music boards for retail chains; the duck and robot fronts move fastest.
UAE and Saudi Arabia, Jebel Ali. Decals and seats need to survive higher storage temperatures.
Nigeria, Kenya, Philippines, Vietnam. Simpler shells, price-first, and spare pedals requested with the first order.
If yours is not here, send it — we answer spec questions in writing, not on a call.
50 pieces per model. Because we load mixed containers from several Pingxiang factories, a small order does not need to fill a whole container with one model.
Between 1,665 and 2,178 pieces, depending on the carton. Cartons run from 0.179 to 0.230 CBM and hold 5 or 6 pieces, so the 40HQ takes 295 to 379 cartons. The model-by-model table above has the exact numbers.
Five cartons: 76 x 57 x 53 cm (0.230 CBM), 76 x 56 x 51 cm (0.217), 76 x 56 x 48 cm (0.204), 76 x 56 x 44 cm (0.187) and 76 x 56 x 42 cm (0.179). Gross weight runs 21 to 24.5 kg per carton.
2-5 years, with a 50 kg load rating. The frame is carbon steel with PP mouldings and the wheels are rubber on all twelve models.
Rubber, on every model in the range. That matters on rough pavement and on tiled shop floors, where plastic wheels skate and squeal.
Yes. Mixed loading is the reason our MOQ is 50 pcs. You can combine two to five models in one container as long as the total volume works out, and we photograph the cartons at loading.
Send the models and quantity you have in mind. You get carton size, CBM, gross weight and FOB Tianjin price in writing, usually within one working day.
