Teko EV Trophy
By The Smith Family, reviewed by Brad · Independent, no paid placement · Last verified Nov 5, 2026
The Teko Trophy is the four-seat, all-forward-facing Teko, below the six-seat Trophy Plus. Teko gives it a 5 kW AC motor and a 51.2V lithium pack rated for a 40-mile range, with a 10.1-inch touchscreen; dealers list four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes and independent front suspension. It ships at 19 mph, and the 25 mph street-legal LSV is a dealer configuration, so buy the LSV setup. Teko's warranty is 2 years on parts, 8 years full replacement on the lithium battery (personal use) and lifetime on the chassis. Teko publishes no battery size, dimensions or weight for the Trophy, so we list none. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). Dealer-quoted MSRP range: $10,995 (read Nov 5, 2026).

Factory-certified LSV — NHTSA vPIC lists TEKO, INC. as a Low Speed Vehicle manufacturer. Ships ~19 mph; the 25 mph street-legal LSV is a dealer configuration — confirm the LSV setup at purchase.

Our figures, from verified specs + the cart's sourced price — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate. Cost per kWh is what the price actually buys you in battery — the single figure that separates a cheap cart from an under-batteried one, and almost nobody publishes it. Pack energy is the maker's published kWh where they give one, otherwise volts × amp-hours.

Factory-certified LSV — NHTSA vPIC lists TEKO, INC. as a Low Speed Vehicle manufacturer. Ships ~19 mph; the 25 mph street-legal LSV is a dealer configuration — confirm the LSV setup at purchase. The DOT equipment and VIN come from the factory, but this one ships at 19 mph and the 25 mph street-legal setup is a paid factory configuration. Below 20 mph it is not a Low-Speed Vehicle and cannot be titled as one, so confirm in writing that the LSV configuration is fitted before you buy it to register.
