Addmotor Arisetan II M-360 Review: 750 W Semi-Recumbent

Semi-recumbent trike · 750 W rear-drive motor, torque sensor, half-twist throttle · 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack, 960 Wh · differential and parking brake · a disc brake on every wheel · a 380 lb payload ("280+100 LBS") · 20 mph · Standard and Mini · $2,799 and $2,699 · verified September 29, 2026

Quick Answer — Addmotor's Arisetan II M-360 is a $2,799 semi-recumbent trike: pedals in front, a backrest behind you, a 750 W rear-drive motor, a differential and a 380 lb payload. On level pavement at 12 mph on the throttle, a charge computes to about 67 miles for a 180 lb rider and 49 with 380 lb aboard.

The Mini, at $2,699, swaps the 20-inch wheels for 16-inch ones, which drops the step to 21.7 inches and starts Addmotor's rider window at 5'6" instead of 5'7". Before you order, find where your saddle needs to sit in the fit tables, since this seat moves fore and aft, and check your state's words for a 750 W trike in the class section.

How we verified this Addmotor Arisetan II M-360 review

The specification comes from Addmotor's Arisetan II M-360 page, its Mini page, the size drawing and Addmotor's question board for the trike, read on September 28, 2026; prices, colorways, stock and payment plans on Addmotor's pages and our listing were read again on September 29.

Range and fit are computed, and each formula shows its inputs. The review is specification-verified: every figure traces to Addmotor, a statute, our store or arithmetic printed here. We sell the Arisetan, so weigh the red flags as carefully as the green.

Addmotor's Arisetan II M-360 specification

The two versions share the motor, pack, brakes and payload; the wheels and the frame's height set them apart. Addmotor's Size & Fit table prints both:

Addmotor's Size & Fit and Technical tabs, read September 28, 2026; our prices read September 29, 2026.

What a semi-recumbent trike is

A semi-recumbent puts the pedals out ahead of you and a backrest behind you, so you sit on the trike more than over it. On the Arisetan the crank sits well forward of the saddle, and the tall handlebar sweeps back toward the seat: in Addmotor's photograph the grips sit a little behind the crank.

Addmotor's feature copy makes the case for the shape: the frame, "with a low center of gravity prioritizes rider comfort by promoting a relaxed, natural posture that reduces strain on the back and shoulders." Its product FAQ sets it against an upright trike, which "offers a traditional riding position, better visibility in traffic, and easier access", while the semi-recumbent "provides a more comfortable reclined position, excellent stability, and is better suited for longer rides".

From Addmotor's own gallery: the backrest takes the rider's weight and her feet reach forward to the pedals.

Those are Addmotor's words, and comfort is personal; if a back, hip or knee condition is the reason you are looking, your clinician is the one to ask about riding position. What this review can do is measure the geometry, and the fit section turns it into a lean angle and a hand load for bodies of every height.

The M-360 name is older than this trike. On February 22, 2023, Addmotor answered that the M-360's motor was "in the front wheel". The Arisetan II drives the rear wheels, and Addmotor's product FAQ explains the switch: rear-mounted motor trikes "offer better traction, stability, handling, and performance."

If you are shopping used, that history matters: board answers and videos from before the Arisetan II can describe the earlier machine, and Addmotor's spare-battery listing fits the "ARISETAN II (M-360 & M-360 M)" while listing the "Arisetan 360" among the models it does not fit.

Standard or Mini: what the 16-inch wheels change

The Mini is the same trike set lower. Addmotor's answer in its product FAQ: "Compared to Arisetan M-360 Standard with 20" * 4.0" tires, the Arisetan M-360 Mini features 16" * 4.0" tires. The 4" smaller tires make the mini a trike with lower entry."

In Addmotor's Size & Fit table, the smaller wheels bring the saddle, the handlebar and the standover each down 4 or 5 inches, shorten the trike by 8 inches and take 2 lb off it. The reach, the width, the pack, the motor and the 380 lb payload stay the same, and the window moves down one inch at each end, to 5'6" through 6'5".

Choose the Mini for the lower step; choose the Standard if you are taller than 6'5". The Mini's 21.7-inch standover is 5 inches lower to swing a leg across, and its 72.7-inch length parks in a shorter space. Addmotor's Standard window runs to 6'6", an inch past the Mini's.

On range, the two land within a mile of each other in every table below: the saved model of the Mini, 2 lb lighter on smaller wheels, returns the Standard's figures or one mile more. Addmotor publishes one size drawing and one set of photographs for both versions, so every picture on this page shows the Standard.

Where does your saddle sit? Fit on a sliding seat

The Arisetan's saddle does not ride up and down on a post; it sits about 32 inches off the floor and is set fore and aft. At the setting in Addmotor's own photograph, the 109% saddle formula fits the median 5'10" rider; the median 5'7" rider needs the saddle about 2.1 inches farther forward, and the median 6'4" rider 5.0 inches farther back.

Addmotor recommends 5'7" to 6'6" for the Standard and 5'6" to 6'5" for the Mini. Asked about a shorter rider, it answered on October 21, 2025 that the range is meant "to ensure that most riders can safely reach the ground and operate the trike with confidence. However, this is a general guideline, and individual fit can vary."

Three steps find your setting:

1. Measure your inseam barefoot. Stand against a wall, press a hardcover book up between your legs as a saddle would sit, and measure from the floor to the book's top edge.
2. Find your height below and read how far forward or back of Addmotor's photographed setting your saddle needs to go.
3. Send us the figure before you order, and settle the last half inch at home with the knee and heel checks.

Addmotor's size drawing of the Standard, printed over its studio photograph. Three of its lengths agree with the photograph within 3.5 percent; its saddle, standover and reach labels do not, and the controls table prints both figures for each.

How far forward or back does my saddle go?

Forward of Addmotor's photograph if you are under about 5'10", behind it if you are taller. In Addmotor's photographs the saddle rides a short arm clamped into the frame tube, with no seatpost, so its height stays near 32.0 inches and the setting you change is how far forward it sits.

The table puts the 6,068 bodies of the US Army's anthropometric survey on that geometry, with the saddle top 109% of inseam from the pedal at the far end of its stroke (Peveler et al., 2005).

Typical inseam spans the middle 90 of every 100 bodies at each height. The middle columns are the median rider's saddle distance from the crank axle at 109% of inseam, and how far the saddle must move from its setting in Addmotor's photograph to reach it; the last column counts the riders of that height whose 109% setting sits behind the photographed one. Men and women pooled.

The photographed setting matches a 33.8-inch inseam at 109%, or a 34.7-inch one at 106%, the low end of the range Ferrer-Roca and colleagues accept. A shorter leg wants the saddle forward of the photograph, a longer one wants it back, and the arm's travel either way is the figure to confirm with us for your inseam.

The seat in Addmotor's photograph: a short stub under the saddle, an arm clamped into the frame, and the backrest on its own bar.

Addmotor's drawing labels the saddle height 28.3 inches, while the saddle's top in the photograph, measured at the drawing's 45.2-inch handlebar scale, stands 32.0 inches off the floor. The tables use the photograph, and the controls table prints both.

Can I step across it at a stop?

Yes at every height in the table, and the Mini gives you 5 more inches. Of every 100 riders, 95 clear the Standard's 26.7-inch standover by 2.4 inches or more at 5'4" and by 4.0 or more at 5'7"; the Mini's 21.7 inches adds 5 inches to every row.

Barefoot inseam less Addmotor's standover, the Standard's 26.7 inches and the Mini's 21.7. Typical inseam is the median at each height; each clearance is the one at least 95 of every 100 riders of that height reach.

On a semi-recumbent your leg swings across the low frame in front of the seat, and you then sit back into the backrest. Addmotor's table prints one standover per version and does not name the point it is measured at, so both figures are taken as printed.

Will I lean forward to reach the bars?

No: the median rider at every height from 5'4" to 6'3" reaches the grips sitting straight up, against the backrest. The grips sit 1.2 to 7.1 inches behind the crank axle and 29.1 to 30.7 inches above it, swept back from the pedals toward the seat, and only at 6'4" does the median rider lean, by 2 degrees.

In Priego Quesada and colleagues' 2017 comparison, twenty recreational cyclists rated the most upright of three trunk positions the most comfortable.

The lean is the smallest trunk angle at which a straight arm meets the grip from the seat, with the saddle where each rider's 109% setting puts it; the middle column counts the riders who reach sitting straight up, and the last gives the median elbow bend among them, left blank at 6'4", where the median rider leans.

Taller riders sit farther back, so the bars come to them less. A 6'2" rider's saddle sits about 3.0 inches behind the photographed setting, and at 6'4" only 17 of every 100 reach the grips from the backrest without leaning forward a little. Shorter riders sit forward and keep a deeper bend at the elbow.

How much weight goes through my hands?

Very little: about 5 to 6 percent of your body weight with the back relaxed, a few pounds on each hand, as the table's last column shows. Ten road racers on their brake hoods in Carahalios's 2015 laboratory study put 15% of body weight on the bars; sitting upright, the Arisetan rider carries well under half of that.

From each survey body's segment weights (Clauser et al., 1969), with the arms' weight carried forward to the grips and no credit given to the backrest, so each figure is a ceiling. The bracket runs across the measured grip positions; the weights are the survey medians.

Slane and colleagues found hand pressure over the ulnar nerve highest in the most stretched of the hand positions they measured across 36 riders. On the Arisetan the grips come back toward you, and padded gloves, which cut palm pressure by 10 to 28% in the same study, cost little.

How do I set the saddle at home?

Set it so your knee still bends 25 to 35 degrees with the pedal at the point farthest from the seat (Peveler et al., 2007). On this trike that point is forward and low in the pedal's circle, along the line from the saddle through the crank axle.

For a first setting, sit back against the backrest, put your heel on the pedal at that far point, and slide the saddle until the leg just straightens. Peveler and colleagues found the heel method put 70% of 19 cyclists inside the target range, more than either inseam formula they compared.

The fit arithmetic, step by step

Three rules make every figure in this section: the saddle top 1.09 × inseam from the pedal, the lean as the smallest trunk angle at which a straight arm meets the grip, and the hand load as the upper body's weight carried forward over the reach.

For a 5'8" rider on the median 32.6-inch inseam, the formula gives 35.6 inches from the pedal, which is 29.0 inches from the crank axle once the 6.6-inch crank comes off. The photographed setting is 30.2 inches from the crank axle, so this rider's saddle moves 1.5 inches forward.

The slide is longer than the change it makes. The saddle sits 24.6 inches behind the crank axle and 17.6 inches above it, a line about 36 degrees off the horizontal, so a 1.5-inch slide shortens the distance to the pedal by about 1.2 inches.

LeMond's rule, 88.3% of inseam from the crank axle, comes to 28.8 inches for the same rider; with the crank added back it averages 108.7% of inseam from the pedal across the survey's bodies, inside the 109.2 ± 0.9% Peveler and colleagues report.

Addmotor's size drawing is its studio photograph with the dimensions printed over it, so every point above is read on the 1,500-pixel photograph, scaled by the published 45.2-inch handlebar height. The camera stands close enough that the near rear wheel looks larger than the front, and each point off the trike's centerline is carried back onto it before it is measured:

The wheelbase, the total length and the front tire agree with Addmotor's figures within 3.5 percent, which sets the scale. The saddle, standover and reach labels disagree with the picture they are printed on; the fit tables use the photograph for the saddle and Addmotor's printed standover, and both are shown here.

A 750 W rear-drive motor, a torque sensor and a throttle

Addmotor rates the motor at 750 W and puts it at the rear. The Technical tab prints "750W Rear-Drive Motor", and the feature copy adds "(90Nm High Torque & 1,400W Peak Motor)", describing the rear placement as one that gives "improved traction and stability, allowing for better control and handling during acceleration and deceleration."

The torque sensor answers to how hard you press the pedals, across seven assist levels. For days you would rather not pedal, the throttle drives the trike on its own: the Technical tab lists "Variable Speed Control - 1/2 Twist Throttle", and asked what kind of throttle it has, Addmotor answered on January 15, 2024 "1/2 twist throttle".

The 5-inch display in Addmotor's image, with the battery gauge, the speed and the assist level.

Top speed is 20 mph, in Addmotor's words "Up to 20 MPH". Its answer of October 17, 2025 gives the same figure: "The maximum speed is 20 mph." How your state reads a 750 W machine at that speed is in the class section.

Seven Shimano gears and a stainless KMC chain, in Addmotor's Performance tab, carry your pedaling. In the range model the motor drives the rear axle apart from your chain, so the gear you choose sets your cadence; use the low gears to start and climb with a load in the basket.

The 960 Wh Samsung battery and how to charge it

Forty-eight volts at twenty amp-hours stores 960 watt-hours, from a pack Addmotor lists as "48V*20 Ah Samsung UL-certified Battery", and its comparison image adds the standard: "48V 20Ah Samsung Battery (UL2271)". The feature copy names the range at "up to 85 miles".

A charge from low takes eight to ten hours. Addmotor's October 16, 2025 answer: "If the battery is mostly depleted, charging takes approximately 8-10 hours." The arithmetic sits inside that: 20 amp-hours at the charger's 2 amps is ten hours from empty, and a top-up from 20 to 80%, 12 amp-hours, about six.

A second pack is the way to go farther in a day. For a rider planning long touring days, Addmotor suggested carrying "2-3 batteries, with each battery providing a range of approximately 80 miles" in the same answer, and on January 8, 2025 it named the pack that fits: "The Arisetan M-360 trike is compatible with our 20Ah Kirin battery". Ask us for a second pack and we will quote it with your order.

Addmotor's battery care comes down to three numbers. Its battery-health post advises recharging "when it has a 10%-15% charge left"; its maintenance guide asks you to "keep your battery charge between 20% and 80% for the best lifespan" and to charge "at room temperature (between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius)", which is 50 to 77 °F.

Range: how far a charge takes the Arisetan

Level pavement, throttle only: a full pack carries a 180 lb rider about 67 miles at 12 mph and about 39 at 20 mph, and a full 380 lb load about 49 miles at 12 mph. Easy pedaling at 12 mph doubles the 180 lb figure to 134 miles; a steady 8% climb at 10 mph on the throttle cuts it to about 11.

Three steps turn your ride into miles:

1. Find your speed and the effort you add in the first two tables.
2. Add each 1,000 feet of climbing at 10 mph on 4 to 10% grades: 157 to 201 Wh on the throttle, 142 to 182 with easy pedaling (the hills table).
3. Adjust for your load and the air temperature, and plan on 85% of the pack.

Every row is one steady ride, built from Addmotor's figures, a comparable motor's published data, drum measurements of ten fat tires and a cycling-power model validated on an open road. The formula subsection walks one ride through it.

On level pavement the Arisetan and the Grandtan M-340 compute to the same miles. Addmotor gives both a 750 W rear motor, the same 960 Wh pack, a 20 mph top speed, 110 lb and a 20 × 4.0 rear tire, so the model treats them alike. The Arisetan's riding position is its own, and no drag measurement for a semi-recumbent rider was found (Limitations item 6); the Grandtan M-340 review is the upright alternative.

How many miles does each speed give, and how much do your legs add?

Speed decides the throttle-only figure: 84 miles at 8 mph, 67 at 12 and 39 at 20. The air's share of the work climbs with the cube of speed, so between 12 and 20 mph the power spent pushing air rises about 4.6 times.

All six rows assume a 180 lb rider using only the throttle over level pavement in 77 °F air. The right-hand column keeps back the 15% Addmotor names as the point to recharge, the upper end of its "10%-15%" advice.

Adding your legs stretches every row. Easy pedaling here is 75 W and steady pedaling 150 W; with the motor off, those efforts alone would move a 180 lb rider on this trike at about 8.6 and 12.7 mph on the flat, which is a quick way to judge which column you could hold.

180 lb aboard, level pavement, a full pack. "Legs alone" is a ride your 150 W holds without the motor. In the 134-mile and 157-mile cells your legs do more than half the work, where the model leans on the motor's losses at light load, its least-checked part (Limitations item 5).

Pick the row for your speed and the column for your legs; the assist level decides only how the work is shared. Addmotor's trike-range post makes the same point about pace: "Riding a little slower can lessen the wind drag, allowing increased range."

Does shifting gears save battery?

Only through your legs. The motor turns the rear axle apart from your chain, so the gear you choose sets your cadence; at a fixed speed and grade, the pack's draw falls only as your own effort rises:

Pack watt-hours per mile, 180 lb aboard, 77 °F air. At 12 mph on the flat, 150 W of your own holds the speed and the motor draws nothing.

A comfortable cadence is the reason to shift. Addmotor's range post singles out the start from a stop: "When you accelerate after coming to a stop, it uses a lot of energy." A low gear for that first push lets your legs share it.

What does a climb cost the pack?

Each 1,000 feet of climbing at 10 mph on 4 to 10% grades costs 157 to 201 Wh on the throttle beyond the same distance on the flat, or 142 to 182 with easy pedaling. Lifting you and the trike is 54 to 69% of the throttle figure; the motor and pack lose the rest as heat.

A 180 lb rider on the 110 lb Arisetan is 290 lb to raise, and lifting that 1,000 feet takes 109 Wh at the wheels. At 8% and 10 mph on the throttle the pack pays 184 Wh for each 1,000 feet, so all 960 Wh would climb about 5,200 feet with nothing left for the flat; the model recovers nothing on the way down, which keeps the budget cautious.

10 mph, 180 lb aboard, throttle only except in the last column, which adds 75 W of easy pedaling. Beyond 10%, holding 10 mph on the throttle alone asks more than the motor's rated 750 W in the model: at 12% your easy pedaling brings it back inside, at about 7 miles to the charge, and at 15% neither does, so slow down or shift down.

Budget a hilly day in two parts, the flat and the climbing. Twenty level miles at 12 mph on the throttle take about 287 Wh; add 1,000 feet of 8% climbing at about 184 Wh and the day comes to about 471 Wh, a little over half of the 816 Wh in 85% of the pack. Wind and stops come on top.

How far does a full 380 lb load go?

On the flat a heavy load costs you some range; on a climb it costs you a lot. Weight adds to the tires' and the grade's share of the work and nothing to the air's, so the gap between light and heavy loads widens as the road tilts.

The rider plus everything carried, with the trike's own 110 lb added by the model; throttle only. The bottom row is the 380 lb Addmotor rates the Arisetan to carry, "280+100 LBS"; up 8% at 10 mph that load needs more than the rated 750 W in the model, so pedal or slow down.

A full payload costs about a quarter of the level range. From 180 lb to 380 lb aboard, the 12 mph ride drops from 67 miles to 49 and the 15 mph ride from 55 to 42. Addmotor's range post lists "the rider's weight or the weight of their luggage" among the reasons range is "a difficult question to answer".

How much range does cold weather take away?

Count on about a fifth less at freezing. The 12 mph throttle ride that runs 67 miles at 77 °F comes to about 53 miles at 32 °F and about 48 at 14 °F.

Level ground, 180 lb aboard, the cells at air temperature. The central figures rest on McMaster University's measured LG HG2 cell at a 0.5C discharge, from its 77, 50, 32 and 14 °F runs with the rows between interpolated; Addmotor names Samsung cells without a model number.

The brackets span published cell data: the low end is the least capacity a Samsung data sheet gives at that temperature for a discharge of one to four times capacity per hour (25R and 30Q at 32 °F, 35E at 14 °F), the high end the most energy Casado and colleagues recorded in 2025 at a gentler rate.

Three losses stack in the cold. The cells return about 89% of their 77 °F energy at freezing, 80 to 93% across sources, and the air is about 9% denser under the U.S. Standard Atmosphere's gas law.

The tires stiffen as well: the model adds 0.5% to their rolling resistance for each °F below 77 °F (0.9% per °C), between Rothhämel's fit for a 42 mm tire and Bicycle Rolling Resistance's road-tire average, held at its 41 °F value below that.

Bring the pack inside to charge it. Addmotor's cold-weather post says to "Always charge your battery indoors at room temperature because cold weather can harm the battery cell if you charge it at lower temperatures", and to wear gloves because "the accelerator and brakes are both operated by hand".

Does the tire or the riding position change the range?

The tire matters more on level ground. Ten 26 × 4.00 fat tires on Bicycle Rolling Resistance's drum at 12 psi, 18 mph and a 94 lb load drew 23.2 to 42.1 W. With no drum figure for the Arisetan's own tires, the model uses the median of the ten, a coefficient of 0.0105, and brackets it with the lowest and highest.

Miles on a full charge, 180 lb aboard, level ground. Kenda's Juggernaut Pro sets the high end; its own test page reports 0.01262.

The drum runs on pavement, so gravel, grass and sand are outside these figures; send us your route and we will price its paved miles and climbs. For the air, Tengattini and Bigazzi measured a drag area of 0.640 m² across 37 upright cruiser riders, the value used here, and 0.603 m² across 90 mountain-bike riders; the smaller of the two would lift the 15 mph throttle ride from 55 miles to 57.

Addmotor's 85, 80 and 40 to 45 miles, as steady rides

Each of Addmotor's range figures matches a steady speed in the model. Addmotor's page prints "85 Miles (PAS1)"; its October 16, 2025 answer gives "approximately 80 miles" per battery; and asked how far the trike goes without pedaling, it answered on January 22, 2025: "about 40 - 45 miles".

The level-ground speed at which the model spends all 960 Wh over Addmotor's distance with 180 lb aboard, 11.3, 12.0, 21.3 and 24.0 Wh a mile down the rows. Easy pedaling is 75 W and steady pedaling 150 W; Addmotor's two no-pedaling figures describe the throttle alone, so their pedaling cells are blank.

Read that way, Addmotor's 85 miles is an easy-going ride with your legs working, about 15 mph with 75 W from you, and its 40 to 45 miles without pedaling is the throttle held near the top speed, 18.1 to 19.9 mph. Slow the throttle ride to 12 mph and the model's 67 miles sits between the two.

Plan on 85% of the row that matches your ride, since Addmotor advises recharging "when it has a 10%-15% charge left": at 12 mph on the throttle, 57 of the 67 miles.

If you ride for the pack's long life, plan on the 20–80% band. Addmotor's maintenance guide asks you to "keep your battery charge between 20% and 80% for the best lifespan", 60% of the pack or 576 Wh:

Miles inside the band, 180 lb aboard, level ground. The 8 mph easy-pedaling cell reads "legs alone" because 75 W by itself moves this rider at about 8.6 mph on the flat.

The formula behind the range tables

A steady speed needs a steady flow of power at the rear wheels, and the model Martin and colleagues validated on an open road in 1998 gives it for constant speed in still air:

P = v × [ m × g × (Crr × cos θ + sin θ) + ½ × ρ × CdA × v² ]

P is the power at the wheels, v the road speed, m the mass of rider, load and trike, g gravity, θ the slope's angle, Crr the tires' rolling resistance, ρ the air's density and CdA the rider's drag area. The first bracketed term is the tires and the grade; the second is the air. Three stages stand between the wheels and the pack:

1. Your pedaling reaches the wheels through the chain at 97.7% efficiency, the chain figure Martin and colleagues measured, and the motor makes up the rest.
2. The motor follows a comparable motor with published figures: Bafang's 2021 OEM workbook gives its RM G0H0 a no-load speed of 510 rpm and a rated speed of 426 rpm at 48 V, and "≥ 80" percent efficiency. Addmotor publishes a 20 mph top speed and no motor speeds, so the model keeps Bafang's curve at Addmotor's 48 V and 750 W and sets the unloaded speed, 21.8 mph, where a 180 lb rider on the throttle just reaches 20 mph on the flat.
3. The pack loses a small share as internal heat, at the efficiency Arango, Lopez and Ceren measured on a 48 V pack.

Dividing battery watts by mph gives watt-hours per mile, and miles = 960 Wh × the usable share of pack energy at that temperature ÷ watt-hours per mile.

One ride, worked from the wheels back to the pack: 180 lb aboard, 12 mph on the throttle, level pavement. The wheels need 131.4 W, of which 72.9 W goes to rolling resistance and 58.5 W to the air.

The 24-inch rear wheels turn 168 times a minute. From Bafang's published figures at the fitted speed, the motor model carries 1.50 N·m of torque per amp, a 0.405 Ω winding and a 0.83 A no-load current, so this ride asks 7.5 N·m on 5.8 A at 79% efficiency, below the rated 80% at so light a load, and 166.8 W.

With the pack's own losses, the battery supplies 172.0 W, which at 12 mph is 14.34 Wh a mile: 960 ÷ 14.34 is about 67.0 miles, or 56.9 with 15% kept back.

Two published benchmarks, reproduced before any figure was computed:

The self-test reproduces Appendix I of Martin and colleagues (8.36 m/s, a 90 kg system, a 0.3% grade) and the RM G0H0's rated point in Bafang's workbook. Were the motor 82% efficient rather than Bafang's 80% floor, the 12 mph throttle figure would be 73 miles, not 67 (Limitations item 4).

No measured ride on the Arisetan with the rider's weight and speed stated was found to set beside the model. The 148 questions on Addmotor's M-360 board and the 4 on its Mini board, the captions of 30 owner and reviewer videos and the 4 Reddit posts that name the trike were read on September 29, 2026; the owners' mileages state no speed or rider weight.

Carrying: a rear rack and 380 lb in all

The Arisetan carries at the back. Addmotor's table sizes the rear rack at 21.6 × 16.5 × 10.2 inches, and its product FAQ says the trike "comes with a battery and the rear basket. But the front basket is not included." Asked on February 19, 2025 whether a front basket could be added, Addmotor answered: "the front basket cannot be installed on the 360".

The 380 lb limit covers you and everything aboard. Addmotor's October 16, 2025 answer: "The total payload capacity for the Arisetan 360 is 380 lbs (280 lbs + 100 lbs). This weight limit includes the weight of the rider, any passengers, and all cargo carried on the trike." Plan with yourself counted inside the 380 lb.

Two small things are sold separately. The basket liner is not in the box, Addmotor said on August 10, 2026, and since 2025 its trikes ship without a storage bag, per the product FAQ. Asked the same day about the two bolts on the top frame rail, Addmotor answered that they "are for mounting a water bottle cage".

Towing needs a hitch. Addmotor's June 24, 2024 answer says "an additional attached hitch is required" for its trailer on the Arisetan, and on January 15, 2024 it put the trailer load at "150lbs". Budget for the hitch if a trailer is part of the plan.

Stopping, parking and cornering: brakes, differential, lights

A disc brake on each wheel and a differential between the rear two. The Performance tab lists "Mechanical Disc Brakes On Each Wheel"; Addmotor's comparison image sums up the set as "Triple Mechanical Disc + Parking Brake" and the differential as "Equipped—Smooth, Stable Cornering". Its Speed Differential tab gives the purpose in Addmotor's words: "Enhance etrike's performance and maneuverability, ensuring safe turning and cornering."

The three disc brakes in Addmotor's image, one rotor and caliper for each wheel.

Take your first turns slowly. Addmotor's post for new trike riders suggests learning the power settings first, practicing somewhere safe, and choosing a first route with "no obstacles or tight turns". If a brake feels soft or rubs, email us the symptom and we will walk you through the adjustment.

The parking brake holds the trike on a slope. Addmotor's page lists it in the Performance tab and its comparison image; set it before you load the rear basket or sit down on a trike parked on a grade.

The brake lever and its parking-lock button, in Addmotor's close-up.

The lights run from the main battery. The Performance tab lists a headlight and a taillight "with Brake Light Function", and Addmotor's comparison image calls the electrics "EB 2.0—Horn, Turn Signals, 7-Speed Settings, Smart Control".

The EB 2.0 lights: the headlight over its reflector, and the red taillight with amber sections at each corner.

Fork, tires and weather

The suspension is at the front: an "Oil Spring Fork with 25mm of Travel". The 20 × 4.0 fat tires do the rest of the cushioning, and on October 17, 2025 Addmotor gave the tube size for a spare: "The inner tube size for M-360 eTrike is 20 x 4.0." For longer travel on three wheels, our Grandtan M-340 review covers an 80 mm fork, and the Grandtan X adds a rear shock.

Rain on a ride is fine; a habit of heavy rain is not. Addmotor's October 27, 2025 answer: "The M-360 is designed with water-resistant features, but we still recommend avoiding frequent rides in heavy rain whenever possible." Its maintenance guide adds "Never submerge the battery in water or use high-pressure sprays."

110 pounds, 31 inches wide: parking and transport

The Standard weighs 110 lb and the Mini 108, and both are 31 inches wide at the rear wheels, 80.7 and 72.7 inches long, so plan a ground-level spot you can roll either into.

Measure the door before the delivery. At 31 inches wide, the Arisetan needs a doorway of at least that; a narrower one means a garage, a shed or a room with a wider opening, and at 110 lb it is not a trike to carry up stairs.

For a car or an RV, a trike hitch rack is the route. Asked what carrier works, Addmotor answered on January 15, 2024 with a link to a page of trike racks; choose one rated for the trike's 110 lb and its 31-inch width, and take the battery off for the drive.

The Mercer fit test

Every review we publish measures one seven-person household against the machine, the Mercers, so the fit answers compare from bike to bike. Each verdict reads a figure Addmotor publishes, the rider windows, standovers and payload, or the fit tables built on them.

Frank, Jack and Dana are inside Addmotor's windows, Maya fits the Mini's, and Ruth is the one to route elsewhere. Asked about riders below the window, Addmotor recommended on October 18, 2023 its CITYTRI E-310, "which totally fits your height"; our Citytri E-310 review covers it.

Has it been recalled?

No. On September 28, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall data held no recall naming Addmotor, the Arisetan or the M-360. The search covered the title, product-name and manufacturer fields for Addmotor, ADDMOTOR, Add Motor, Addmotor Tech, Motan and Addrider and 19 Addmotor model families, Arisetan among them, and read every field of a 623-record corpus of bicycle, e-bike, battery and scooter recalls for the brand and its model codes.

Before its silence counted, the same search was run on makers with known recalls: Ancheer returned 1, Specialized 54 and Trek 24.

Class and road rules: where a 750 W trike lands

Read your state's words before you order. Addmotor's page publishes 750 W, a throttle and a 20 mph top speed, the very figures the federal definition draws its lines at.

15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) defines a low-speed electric bicycle as "a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)", whose top speed on motor power alone is "less than 20 mph" on a paved level surface with a 170-pound rider.

§ 2085(b) and Addmotor's M-360 page, read September 28, 2026.

The statute asks for less than 750 W and less than 20 mph, and Addmotor's figures sit on both lines. A published top speed is the maker's figure rather than the statute's motor-only test with a 170-pound rider, and a specification table cannot settle how the trike measures on that test.

California's line is inclusive. Read on September 28, 2026, California Vehicle Code § 312.5(a) defines an electric bicycle with "an electric motor that does not exceed 750 watts of power", its class 2 motor stops helping "when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour", and § 231 gives a bicycle "one or more wheels" and says "An electric bicycle is a bicycle."

Across the 50 states and DC, each state's own wording decides. Screened against each definition's watt wording, throttle rule, top speed and wheel count, Addmotor's published figures sit inside 26 jurisdictions' e-bike definitions and outside 23 through September 30, 2026; Alaska and Kentucky publish no e-bike definition.

Each state's definition as recorded in our state law atlas, screened September 29, 2026. Twenty of the 23 set the motor limit at "less than" or "fewer than" 750 watts, which a 750 W motor does not meet; New Jersey's turns on its throttle rule, and Montana and Rhode Island define an e-bike on two wheels, as Alabama and New Jersey also do.

Connecticut is the row that moves on a known date. From October 1, 2026, Public Act 26-24 § 26 changes Connecticut's definition to a motor of "not more than seven hundred fifty watts". Connecticut's definitions section, § 14-1, gives no definition of "bicycle", so the wheel count stays open there: from that date 22 jurisdictions remain outside, and for Connecticut, email us and we will confirm how it treats a three-wheeler.

A state that leaves the Arisetan outside its e-bike definition still decides how the trike is treated on its roads, whether as a moped, a motor vehicle or something else, and what that asks of the rider. Our 50-state e-bike law atlas has each state's answer, and our California e-bike law page goes further for that state.

Trails and public land: whose rule applies

Off the street, the land manager decides where the Arisetan may go. The Bureau of Land Management defines an e-bike with a 750 W line of its own, and the Forest Service decides district by district.

On BLM ground, 43 CFR 8340.0-5 defines an e-bike as "a two- or three-wheeled cycle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of not more than 750 watts (1 h.p.)", words a 750 W trike fits. The off-road vehicle rules are lifted only where the field office has decided e-bikes ride as bicycles, and only while "the motor is not exclusively propelling the e-bike for an extended period of time".

That condition reaches a throttle ride. A long stretch on the throttle with your feet resting is the motor propelling the trike alone, and where the exception does not apply, 43 CFR 8341.1 keeps an off-road vehicle to land designated "open to off-road vehicle use".

In National Forests, the Forest Service directives of March 31, 2022 handle e-bikes by "managing all classes of e-bikes as motor vehicles", as the notice at 87 FR 41278 records, and where a Ranger District has published a motor vehicle use map, 36 CFR 261.13 bars riding "other than in accordance with those designations".

Each row is settled by that land manager's own document.

For BLM land, 43 CFR 8340.0-7 sets "a fine of not more than $1,000" or imprisonment "for not longer than 12 months", or both, for a violation. Our public-land e-bike guide sets out each agency's rules.

Green flags / Red flags

Green flags

• A semi-recumbent seat with a backrest: the median rider at every height to 6'3" reaches the grips sitting straight up, with about 5% of body weight on the hands.
• A differential, a disc brake on each wheel and a parking brake for cornering, stopping and loading on a slope.
• A 960 Wh Samsung pack: about 67 miles at 12 mph on the throttle for a 180 lb rider on level pavement, and 49 with the full 380 lb aboard.
• A torque sensor, seven assist levels and a half-twist throttle behind a 750 W rear-drive motor.
• Two versions: the Mini's 21.7-inch standover and 72.7-inch length for a lower step and a shorter parking spot.
• A 21.6 × 16.5-inch rear rack and basket in the box.
• Six colorways in the Standard and four in the Mini, all orderable on our store on September 29, 2026.
• UL 2849 certification of the whole trike in Addmotor's feature copy, and a UL 2271 pack in its comparison image.

Red flags

Each one is about fit: who the Arisetan is wrong for, and what to do instead.

• Wrong if you are under 5'6". Both of Addmotor's windows start above you; the Grandtan M-340 starts at 5'2", and Addmotor points shorter riders to the Citytri E-310.
• Wrong if you want a basket up front as well as behind. The rear rack is the carrying space; the Grandtan M-340, $2,399 on our store, has a basket at each end and a 450 lb payload.
• Wrong if you and your load come to more than 380 lb. The Grandtan M-340 is rated "350+100 LBS"; send us the total and we will match it to a trike.
• Wrong if it must fold, climb stairs or pass a door under 31 inches. It weighs 110 lb; the Citytri E-310 folds, at $1,699 on our store.
• Wrong if you want more suspension than a 25 mm fork. The Grandtan X adds a rear shock, at $2,899 on our store.
• Wrong if two adults want to ride together. One seat; the M-380 tandem seats two, from $4,099.
• Wrong if your rides climb past 10% and you want the throttle to do it alone. At 10 mph the model needs your legs there; our Grandtan Turbo review computes a 1,000 W mid-drive for steep ground.
• Wrong if your trail admits only bicycles without motors. Where e-bikes are allowed, BLM still asks that the motor not propel you alone for long; our public-land guide lists who manages what.

Buy it if / Buy something else if

Buy it if you want to sit back rather than lean over the bars: a backrest behind you, the pedals out in front, a torque sensor for easy pedaling and a throttle for the days you would rather not, with about 67 miles at 12 mph on the throttle for a 180 lb rider and 49 with the full 380 lb aboard.

It asks for a rider inside Addmotor's windows, 5'7" to 6'6" on the Standard and 5'6" to 6'5" on the Mini, a ground-level space behind a door at least 31 inches wide, and somewhere indoors to charge.

For $2,799 you get a 750 W rear-drive motor, 90 N·m in Addmotor's figures and a 960 Wh Samsung pack, a differential, a disc on each wheel, a parking brake, seven Shimano gears and a rear basket. Through Shop Pay on our listing the 12-month plan came to $252.63 a month at 15% APR, $3,031.56 in all; the Mini is $243.61 a month.

Buy something else if you want to sit upright over a footrest deck with a basket at both ends, where the Grandtan M-340 is $2,399; if it must fold, where the Citytri E-310 is $1,699; or if two of you ride together, where the M-380 tandem starts at $4,099.

If you would rather sit upright and step through a low frame, our Triketan M-330 review computes where the saddle goes and how far a charge takes you.

Our Addmotor brand profile lines the Arisetan up with every other Addmotor on our shelf, and our e-bike reviews hub gathers our reviews of other makers' trikes and bikes.

Before you buy: the checklist

Ten checks before you spend $2,799; the first three decide who can ride it and where.

1. Find your state in the class table and open its page in our law atlas.
2. Look up each trail or park you will ride, since its land manager decides.
3. Choose the version: the Standard for 5'7" to 6'6", the Mini for 5'6" to 6'5" and a 21.7-inch step.
4. Measure your inseam and find how far forward or back your saddle goes in the saddle table.
5. Measure the door and the parking spot for 31 inches of width and 80.7 inches of length (72.7 on the Mini).
6. Add up yourself and the load and keep the total at or under 380 lb.
7. Plan the transport: a trike hitch rack rated for 110 lb and 31 inches.
8. Find your ride's row in the range tables, price the climbing on top, and hold 15% of the pack in reserve.
9. Choose where it will charge: indoors, at 50 to 77 °F, with eight to ten hours from low.
10. Learn the turns in an empty parking lot first, the way Addmotor's post for new trike riders suggests.

Buying it from us

Why buy the Arisetan from Redtail

Our listing priced the Standard at $2,799 in six colorways on September 29, 2026, with $3,299 shown as the regular price, and the Mini's listing priced it at $2,699 in four, against $3,199. Our part starts when you order.

Orange, on black-wall tires with a black saddle and backrest.

Every colorway has its own button. Addmotor's Mini page lists four colors, so for a Mini in Gulf Blue or Mint Green, email us and we will confirm it with Addmotor before you order.

Each button adds that colorway and version to your cart at our store's price on September 29, 2026.

Pearl White, with black tires, saddle and backrest.

Gulf Blue, on orange rims with a brown saddle and backrest.

A change of mind works differently under our refund policy: a trike still in its sealed factory packaging can come back if you ask within 72 hours of delivery, less a 15% restocking fee and return shipping, and canceling an order carries a 3% transaction fee. We would much rather settle your fit, load and route questions first.

Frequently asked questions

How far can the Addmotor Arisetan II M-360 go on one charge?

Addmotor's figure is 85 miles on assist level 1. Computed for level pavement on the throttle, your pack covers about 67 miles at 12 mph for a 180 lb rider, 39 at 20 mph and about 49 at 12 mph with 380 lb aboard; each 1,000 feet of climbing at 10 mph costs 157 to 201 Wh (the range tables).

How far will the M-360 go without pedaling?

Addmotor answered this one directly on January 22, 2025: "about 40 - 45 miles". In the model that is the throttle held at 18.1 to 19.9 mph with 180 lb aboard on level ground; slow to 12 mph and your throttle-only ride stretches to about 67 miles (Addmotor's figures as rides).

What height do you need to ride the Arisetan II?

Addmotor recommends 5'7" to 6'6" for the Standard and 5'6" to 6'5" for the Mini. The saddle sits about 32 inches up and is set fore and aft: at the setting in Addmotor's photograph it suits a 33.8-inch inseam at the 109% formula, the median at 5'10", while the median 5'7" rider's inseam wants it about 2.1 inches farther forward. Your inseam finds your row in the saddle table.

What is the weight limit on the Arisetan 360?

380 lb in all, written "280+100 LBS", and Addmotor counts "the weight of the rider, any passengers, and all cargo" in it. With the full 380 lb aboard, you still get about 49 miles at 12 mph on the throttle over level pavement (the weight table).

What's the difference between the M-360 Standard and the Mini?

Wheel size, and everything it lowers. The Mini rides on 16 × 4.0 tires where the Standard has 20 × 4.0, so its step is 21.7 inches instead of 26.7 and it is 8 inches shorter; motor, pack and payload match, and our store prices the Mini $100 lower (Standard or Mini).

What is a semi-recumbent trike?

A trike you sit back in, with a backrest behind you and the pedals ahead of you. In Addmotor's studio photograph of the Arisetan the saddle sits 24.6 inches behind the crank axle and the grips sweep back toward it, so you reach the bars sitting upright (what a semi-recumbent is).

How fast does the Arisetan II M-360 go?

Addmotor publishes "Up to 20 MPH", and its October 17, 2025 answer gives the same: "The maximum speed is 20 mph." How your state treats a 750 W machine at that speed is in the class section.

Is the Arisetan II street legal, and what class is it?

Your state's words decide. Addmotor's 750 W and 20 mph sit inside the e-bike definitions of 26 jurisdictions, California's "does not exceed 750 watts" among them, and outside 23 through September 30, 2026; from October 1, when Connecticut's new wording takes effect, 22 remain outside (the class table). Tell us your state and we will send you its rule.

Is the M-360 easier on the knees than the M-340?

Addmotor's own answer was that it "can really vary from person to person", and your clinician is the person to ask about your knees. What differs is the geometry: on the Arisetan your legs reach forward from a backrest, on the Grandtan M-340 they push down from an upright seat, and our M-340 review computes that fit.

How long does the battery take to charge?

About eight to ten hours from low: "If the battery is mostly depleted, charging takes approximately 8-10 hours," Addmotor answered on October 16, 2025. A top-up from 20 to 80% is about 6 hours on the 2 A charger. Charge indoors at room temperature (the battery section).

Can I buy a second battery for my Arisetan II?

Yes. Addmotor names "our 20Ah Kirin battery" as the one that fits, and its spare-battery listing covers the "ARISETAN II (M-360 & M-360 M)". Ask us for a second pack when you order and we will quote it, or email us afterward.

Does the Arisetan come with baskets?

A rear basket, yes; a front basket, no. Addmotor's product FAQ says it "comes with a battery and the rear basket", and on February 19, 2025 it answered that "the front basket cannot be installed on the 360" (carrying).

Can I ride the Arisetan in the rain?

A shower on a ride, yes; frequent heavy rain, no. Addmotor's October 27, 2025 answer: "The M-360 is designed with water-resistant features, but we still recommend avoiding frequent rides in heavy rain whenever possible." Dry it off afterward and keep the battery out of standing water (fork, tires and weather).

Does the M-360 have a parking brake and a differential?

Yes to both. The Performance tab lists a parking brake and a differential, and Addmotor's comparison image sums them up as "Triple Mechanical Disc + Parking Brake" and "Equipped—Smooth, Stable Cornering". Set the parking brake before you load the rear basket on a slope (brakes).

How wide is the Arisetan for doorways?

31 inches at the rear wheels, in Addmotor's table, for the Standard and the Mini alike. Your door needs at least that, and at 110 lb and 80.7 inches long (72.7 on the Mini) the trike is best kept at ground level (parking and transport).

How do I transport the Arisetan II M-360?

On a trike hitch rack: asked which carrier works, Addmotor answered on January 15, 2024 with a link to a page of trike racks. Choose one rated for 110 lb and a 31-inch width, and take the battery off for the drive.

Can the Arisetan tow a trailer?

With a hitch. Addmotor answered on June 24, 2024 that "an additional attached hitch is required" for its trailer on the Arisetan, and put the trailer load at "150lbs" on January 15, 2024. Count the trailer's load toward what the trike pulls, not toward its 380 lb payload (carrying).

What if my Arisetan won't turn on?

Photograph the display with any error code showing and send it to us with your order number; from there it is our job. Our refund policy names a bike that "won't power on, won't charge, shows an error code, or has a faulty component" and says "we coordinate repair or replacement remotely."

What warranty does the Arisetan II have?

When you order from us, a fault comes to us first: we file the claim with Addmotor and stay on it until the trike is fixed, and our Arisetan listing puts the repair or replacement "at no cost to the customer". For Addmotor's own written terms on your order, email us before checkout and we will get them confirmed.

Limitations of this review

Twenty-four points this review cannot settle, listed so you can weigh them.

1. We sell this trike. Read the red flags with the same care as the green.
2. This review is specification-verified. Its figures come from Addmotor's published documents, statutes, our own store record, the published research the range and fit sections cite, or arithmetic on this page.
3. Each range figure is one steady ride: one speed, one grade, no wind and no stops. Stops, starts, headwind and soft ground cost more.
4. Bafang's figures stand in for Addmotor's motor. Addmotor gives its rating, peak and torque but not its motor speeds or how it is geared to the differential. With the motor at 82% efficiency, above Bafang's 80% floor, that 12 mph throttle ride would stretch from 67 miles to 73.
5. At light motor load the model has no measured check. Where your legs do most of the work, as in the steady-pedaling column at 15 mph, the answer rests on motor losses we could not check against a published motor map.
6. The drag area is an upright rider's. No measurement of a semi-recumbent rider's drag area was found, so the model uses the 0.640 m² of 37 upright cruiser riders; the 0.603 m² of mountain-bike riders would lift the 15 mph throttle ride from 55 miles to 57.
7. The motor's unloaded speed is fitted to Addmotor's top speed, where a 180 lb rider on the throttle just reaches 20 mph; a motor with a higher unloaded speed and a speed limiter would draw a little differently near 20 mph.
8. Addmotor's earlier M-360 weighed less. Its answers of 2023 give "99.21lbs" for the front-drive M-360; the tables use the 110 lb of the Arisetan II's Technical tab.
9. No measured range day on the Arisetan was found. The routes read are listed at the end of the formula section; the owners' mileages on Addmotor's board state no speed or rider weight.
10. Every figure assumes all 960 Wh are usable. The documents read here do not say how much of the pack the battery management releases; on one measured pedelec, researchers at KIT found 75% in use during a standard range test.
11. The tire coefficient is the median of ten 26 × 4.00 fat tires at 12 psi, a different tire from the Arisetan's, and the tire table brackets it.
12. The cold figures rest on one cell's laboratory data. Addmotor names Samsung cells without a model number, so the central line uses McMaster University's measured LG HG2 cell, bracketed by Samsung and other published cell data.
13. The Mini's range figures come from its own saved model, 108 lb on 16-inch wheels, and land within one mile of the Standard's in every cell; the page prints the Standard's.
14. The saddle's fore-and-aft arrangement is read from Addmotor's photographs. They show the saddle on an arm clamped into the frame; the table gives the distance each rider's setting sits from the photographed one, and the arm's travel for a given inseam is the figure to settle before ordering.
15. The saddle formula comes from upright bicycles. Here it is applied along the line from the saddle through the crank axle, to the pedal at the far end of its stroke; no study of the formula on a semi-recumbent was found, so the knee and heel checks settle your saddle.
16. The fit figures use the US Army's ANSUR II bodies: 6,068 soldiers aged 17 to 58, measured in 2010 to 2012, who are not the US public, so your own inseam decides your row.
17. The geometry is measured on Addmotor's studio photograph, scaled by the 45.2-inch handlebar and corrected for the camera's distance, with three published lengths agreeing within 3.5%; Addmotor's saddle, standover and reach labels disagree with the picture, and both are printed.
18. The Mini's geometry is not measured. Its size drawing and gallery repeat the Standard's photographs, so the Mini appears in the fit section through Addmotor's printed figures, its window and its 21.7-inch standover, and no picture here is of the Mini.
19. The hand figure is a ceiling with a relaxed back, with no credit given to the backrest; we found no study that measures hand load on a semi-recumbent.
20. The certification is as Addmotor describes it: "UL 2849 certification" of the whole vehicle and a "UL2271" battery. No certificate number was read; where a building or an insurer asks for one, email us and we will request Addmotor's documents in writing.
21. Several of Addmotor's answers quoted here date from 2023 to 2025, and those before the Arisetan II describe the earlier M-360; each is quoted with its date, and the specification rows are the current page's.
22. The class table reads each state's definition as our law atlas records it, screened September 29, 2026; a state can change its words, as Connecticut does on October 1, 2026, and three-wheeler wording outside the definition section was not read for every state.
23. Colorways, prices and stock were read on September 29, 2026, and each can change, as can the Shop Pay terms and Addmotor's New York City shipping pause.
24. What ships with the trike is from Addmotor's product FAQ: the battery, the rear basket and a charger. Addmotor's box list names further accessories that our listing does not list, so email us before you order and we will confirm in writing what ships with an order placed here.

The bottom line

At $2,799, the Arisetan II M-360 sets a 750 W rear-drive motor, a torque sensor and a 960 Wh Samsung pack under a semi-recumbent seat with a backrest, with a differential, a disc on each wheel, a parking brake and a 380 lb payload; the Mini, at $2,699, is the same trike on 16-inch wheels with a 21.7-inch step.

For a 180 lb rider on level pavement, the model gives about 67 miles at 12 mph on the throttle, 134 with easy pedaling, and about 49 with the full 380 lb aboard; each 1,000 feet of climbing at 10 mph costs 157 to 201 Wh on the throttle.

The right owner wants to sit back against a backrest with the pedals out front, stands inside Addmotor's 5'7" to 6'6" window for the Standard or 5'6" to 6'5" for the Mini, keeps the trike at ground level behind a door of 31 inches or more, and rides where their state's words take in a 750 W machine.

On Shop Pay, the Standard costs $252.63 a month for 12 months at 15% APR.

Before you order, settle two things with us: where your saddle sits for your inseam, and your state's rule for a 750 W trike. Send us your height, your roads and your trails, and our reply will name the version, the setting and the rule for each.

Mint Green, on orange rims with a brown saddle and backrest.

What each document behind this review supports.

T1 is the record itself, read from whoever issued it: a statute, a federal regulation or notice, the maker's own product pages, drawing, question board and posts, and our own store record.

T2 is a party's own publication about its product or its measurements: the motor maker's workbook and research groups' and laboratories' published measurements.

Expiry conditions

Re-read this page if Addmotor changes the Arisetan II M-360's or the Mini's price, specification, motor, battery, range figure, top speed, weight, payload, size drawing, product FAQ or question-board answers; if Addmotor lifts or changes its New York City shipping pause; or if the colorways, prices, stock or Shop Pay terms change on our store.

Re-read it too if a state changes its e-bike definition, after Connecticut's October 1, 2026 change is read into our atlas, or if a recall is published naming Addmotor, the Arisetan or the M-360. Verified September 29, 2026.
