Ecological transport systems must be provided with efficient vibration damping systems for the comfort and safety of the user. This paper analyses a shock absorption system that can be used in an individual three-wheeled transport vehicle. The vehicle has a complex structure, with an equal size of the front and rear wheels. This uniformity of dimensions between the rear and front wheels makes it easier to travel on rough terrain and manoeuvre in a folded shape. The tricycle allows aggregation with different agricultural equipment and can be used in small farms, greenhouses, solariums, meadows, orchards, etc. In this paper we simulate several models of absorption systems with different construction parameters. The strength of the system and the efficiency of shock absorption were taken into account. The best result of the simulation test for absorption systems will be the comparison with the actual physical model used by the electric vehicle.
