When UK-based company [Boxer Cycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puckipuppy) launched its Rocket trike about a year go, the response was phenomenal. This has prompted the company to introduce a brand new flagship version of the trike dubbed the Rocket Saturn. This particular trike takes the same essence as the Rocket trike while adding more luxury and performance add-oons.

The Rocket trike's successor now comes equipped with a high-tech Go SwissDrive electric powertrain and a [rear motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus) that offers 250 to 500 watts. It also comes equipped with a great torque sensor for smooth [electric pedal-assist performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle). The setup also comes with a customizable color LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity as a high-capacity 36 Volt battery.

Ultimately, the Rocket Saturn blends style and engineering technology in seamless fashion in a manner that more trikes should look to adopt.
