Addmotor Electric Trikes: The Vehicles for Boosting Efficiency and Health in Your Daily Routine

Introduction

One of the best things about electric trikes is their versatility. Unlike two-wheelers, anybody can ride them easily. They can carry more stuff and ride longer distances without tiring or worrying about battery life. 

Ideally, they are the perfect middle ground in performance, capability, speed, and accessibility. So regardless of your lifestyle, you can always make room for an eTrike and let it improve your day-to-day activities.

Whether that’s a quick run to the grocery store, weekday commutes, or long-distance touring, an electric trike can definitely handle it.

At Addmotor, two of the latest and greatest electric trike models: the GRANDTAN X E-Trike and ARISETAN M-360 E-Trike have been hailed as one of the best options for daily riding. Let’s talk about these two and what makes them the best option for the everyday rider. 

The Best Addmotor Trikes for Health, Safety and Fun

Addmotor has several lineups of electric trikes to suit various use cases and rider preferences. However, two of the most standout models are the GRANDTAN X and ARISETAN M-360. 

These provide an unprecedented level of comfort and accessibility without compromising on other factors such as speed, performance, and ease of use. They are the best and the most comfortable all-rounders for boosting health and efficiency in your day-to-day life. 

#1 GRANDTAN X: Supercharging Comfort For All-Terrain Adventures

The GRANDTAN X dual suspension e trike is one of Addmotor’s latest iterations on the GRANDTAN lineup. What makes it so special over its predecessors is that it’s the first GRANDTAN Series model to come with full suspension. 

GRANDTAN models are all about comfort and accessibility and the GRANDTAN X takes things to the next level. The full suspension setup includes shock absorbers not just for the front fork, but for the two rear wheels as well. 

This can be a game-changer for all-terrain riding as it keeps the trike low to the ground and prevents it from falling over. 

This is especially true when riding through uneven terrain. The rear suspension flexes and helps keep the trike level as much as possible. 

On top of that, it absorbs the brunt of impacts and vibrations, minimizing injuries and keeping you comfortable. Say goodbye to back pain, sore knees, and that unnerving feeling of being jostled around when riding through rocky terrain. 

#2 ARISETAN II M-360: Pioneering Ergonomics, and Care-Free Riding

Recumbent trikes have many advantages. They are easy to get in and out, easy to ride, and minimize injury. 

However, they also pose certain risks. They’re too low to the ground, heavier, bulkier, and have low visibility. Besides, they look out of place in cities and populated areas. 

This is where the ARISETAN M-360 comes in. It’s the world’s first semi-recumbent electric tricycle to find the perfect balance between uprights and recumbents. 

The ARISETAN essentially has the “lean-back” riding posture of a recumbent while maintaining the benefits of an upright tricycle. It doesn’t sit as low to the ground but still gives you the option to sit back and enjoy the ride. 

The Best Features of the GRANDTAN X Electric Trike

Apart from the full suspension setup, the GRANDTAN X also boasts some impressive improvements and modifications. From subtle changes to absolute game-changers, here’s a list of the best things that the GRANDTAN X has in store:

#1 Padded Upright Backrest and Extra Wide Saddle

Learning from previous models of the GRANDTAN series, the GRANDTAN X features a more adjustable and ergonomic saddle. 

It’s got thick padding on the seat and equal amounts of cushioning on the backrest itself. What’s more, the seat height is fully adjustable along with the backrest height. 

You can freely adjust these using the built-in screws and find the most ergonomic and comfortable fit. 

Also, the extra wide saddle improves accessibility and minimizes the risk of injury. It’s a great option for seniors and people with limited mobility as they have more seating space. They won’t slip or fall over and the saddle holds them securely, even through the bumpiest of rides. 

#2 Rotatable U-Shaped Handlebars

Another feature that adds to the ergonomics and flexibility is the rotatable handlebars. These are fully adjustable and will help you find the perfect reach to suit your arms. 

No more stiffness or cramps as you can bring the handlebars closer or farther. This will help you find a comfortable fit where you don’t feel cramped or overexerted. 

It’s a subtle change that can make a ton of difference, especially if you’re on either extreme of the recommended height range. 

#3 5’2″-6 ‘4″ Supportive Height Range

Speaking of height range, the GRANDTAN X is perfectly designed to accommodate most adults. Since the 5’2” – 6’4” height range covers almost 90% of adults, you can be certain it will fit you, most of your friends and loved ones. 

So if you’re looking for an eTrike that you can share with other adults, don’t worry; the GRANDTAN X will suit you all. 

#4 Wooden Footrest With Step-Through Frame

Another set of subtle features in the GRANDTAN X are the wooden footrest and step-through frame. These significantly improve accessibility and are a favorite among seniors and people with mobility issues. 

For most beginner riders, keeping their feet on the pedals or on the ground can be difficult or uncomfortable. 

This is why the footrest is important. It gives you a place to rest your feet comfortably without worrying about falling off the trike. 

So when you’re sitting at a stop sign or riding the throttle, you can easily keep your feet on this wooden footrest and take it easy. You don’t have to lean on the bike frame or balance uncomfortably on the pedals. 

Also, the step-through frame makes it convenient to mount and dismount the eTrike. It has a low standover height of 17.5” so you don’t have to be an Olympic gymnast to get your foot over the top tube.  

#5 Off-The-Charts Payload Capacity

Finally, the GRANDTAN X is one of the best options if you’re a heavy rider or carrying hundreds of pounds of cargo and supplies. 

This is because the full suspension setup coupled with the frame has a maximum payload capacity of 450 lbs. 

So whether that’s an exceptionally heavy rider pounds and pounds of cargo, you can definitely haul it all up with the GRANDTAN X. 

Also, you can hitch a trailer to the etrike and carry even more cargo. So whether that’s camping, hunting, or groceries for an entire month, the GRANDTAN X will handle it. 

All The Good Things About The ARISETAN M-360 E Trike

The ARISETAN II M-360 is a one-of-a-kind electric trike thanks to its semi-recumbent design. This makes it ideal for taller riders and adults who want a more “laid-back” riding experience. 

However, apart from this special design, it’s also got several other features that will satisfy fans of both upright and recumbent counterparts. 

#1 5’7″-6’6″ Height Range

The ARISETAN II M-360 is one of the few electric trikes that are accessible for tall riders and people with longer arm reach. So while other electric trikes cater mostly to the 5’2”-6′ 4” range, the ARISETAN supports taller riders that fall under the 5 ‘7”-6’ 6” height range. 

This is thanks to the semi-recumbent design that spaces out the distance between the handlebars and the saddle. So if you have an unusually longer reach you can stick with the ARISETAN II M-360. 

Also, the ARISETAN has a “mini” variation. So if you’re between the average 5’6″-6′ 5″ height range, you can opt for this one instead. 

#2 Foldable Stem

Because of its unconventional design, the ARISETAN II M-360 can be somewhat longer and taller than other eTrikes. This can make storage and transportation difficult because unlike foldable trikes or more compact models, it can take up a lot more space. 

Thankfully this isn’t actually the case thanks to the foldable stem. This allows you to lower the height of the ARISETAN during transport, making it easy to stow in the back of a truck or SUV. 

So with the stem folded, you can keep the trike’s height limit under 45.2”. 

#3 Max Payload Capacity: 380 Pound 

With a maximum load capacity of 380 lbs, the ARISETAN can support larger riders with relative ease. 

However, if you’re not that heavy, you can still make use of this to carry extra gear and supplies on your adventures.   

So believe it or not, the ARISETAN II also makes for a great long-distance touring eTrike. It’s got a decent range of 85+ miles (PAS Level 1), front and rear cargo racks with a free waterproof bag. 

Common Features in Both Models

But that’s not all. Both the GRANDTAN X, ARISETAN, and a slew of other Addmotor electric trikes come with several impressive features. These are:

• 750W rear-mounted hub motor with 90 Nm of torque
• An IPX6-rated UL-2271-certified 960Wh battery pack
• Rear differential to improve rear wheel performance and handling
• Parking brake mechanism for added safety
• Strong trailer tube for hitching a kid’s trailer or cargo trailer
• Mid-axis torque sensors for more responsive and intuitive electrical assist
• The EB 2.0 electrical system found in UL2849-certified Addmotor cargo eBikes

The Verdict

Electric trikes can be the best alternative option for anybody hoping to boost efficiency and live a more active lifestyle. And for most beginners, Addmotor, recommends the GRANDTAN X or the ARISETAN II for daily use. 

Here, the GRANDTAN X is a full-suspension eTrike that’s well-rounded in terms of performance, accessibility, and comfort. Meanwhile, the ARISETAN II takes on a more novel and innovative approach as the world’s first semi-recumbent electric tricycle. 

Both models share a lot of similarities and common features. This makes them useful in various situations. Whether that’s commuting, touring or even delivering food or packages, these eTrikes won’t fail you.
