Addmotor eBikes & Trikes (2026): 28 Models, 0 Recalls

A verified brand profile of Addmotor ebikes and trikes: all 28 machines on our shelf, priced against the maker's own storefront on September 24, 2026, every specification read from the maker's own pages, and the brand screened against three federal safety registers.

By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014), Redtail eBikes. Every figure on this page was verified against the manufacturer's published specification and recomputed; the safety screen was run against three federal registers. Verified September 24, 2026.

Who is behind Addmotor, and how long it has traded

You are weighing a $1,199 to $4,699 trike, and the question buyers type most about Addmotor is whether it is any good (61 of 702 Google and Bing suggestions on September 22, 2026).

The costly mistakes are a trike sized for someone else and a version that does not fit your state's wording. Who is behind the name is a matter of public record, and the cards further down match each machine to a rider.

Addmotor's own About page, read September 24, 2026, tells the company's story: "Addmotors story began in 2011 in El Monte, California. Born with the mission of designing and manufacturing the top-quality electric bikes for everyone." The same page dates its first semi-recumbent trike to September 2017, its first tricycle range to 2018, and its California warehouse and showroom to 2021, at 4188 Arden Drive, El Monte, CA 91731.

The maker's warranty page names the company behind the warranty as Addmotor Tech Inc. The ADDMOTOR mark is United States trademark registration 5226479, filed July 24, 2016 and registered June 20, 2017, with first use in commerce recorded as July 24, 2016. The registrant is an individual, Chen Qiang, at a Guangzhou, China address, and the register shows the Section 8 declaration of continued use accepted July 12, 2023.

The same registrant holds 21 live registrations, among them the brand name, MOTAN (5099186, registered December 13, 2016, a name the maker still uses on its newest model), and twelve of the model names on this page: GRANDTAN, TRIKETAN, ARISETAN, CITYTRI, GREATTAN, LANDTAN, SPYTAN, FOLDTAN, SOLETAN, SOLETRI, HEROTRI and GAROOTAN.

The two-word mark ADD MOTOR (4278618), registered January 22, 2013 to a Guangzhou trading company and assigned to the current registrant in 2018, records first use in US commerce on December 27, 2011; the one-word ADDMOTOR registration above has carried the name since 2017.

The brand is trading today: its blog carries a post dated September 14, 2026 announcing a new Motan M-650X, and all 28 models on our shelf had a live maker page with a price on September 24, 2026.

Addmotor ebikes and trikes: all 28 models, specification by specification

Addmotor's line on our shelf is 20 electric trikes and 8 two-wheel e-bikes, all in our Addmotor collection, and each listing's base version carries the maker's own price for that version, matched on 28 of 28 on September 24, 2026. The maker's list, the higher struck figure on its own page, is published for 25 of them and printed in the table.

Every cell below is the maker's own published figure, read from the specification tabs on its product pages on September 24, 2026. Where the maker publishes a Standard and a Plus or Mini version, both are printed with their names. The maker splits payload into rider and cargo on most trikes, and that split is kept. 3 models were sold out on our shelf that day and are marked.

† From the maker's own blog, because the product page gives no figure; the posts and their dates are in Limitations, item 2.

Which Addmotor trike fits you

The rider decides the trike. Three published numbers settle the fit: the height window, the payload split and the machine's weight. Each card leads with the one that matters for that trike and says who should look at another, and the eight picks cover folding frames, two front wheels, a cargo rack, a backrest, fat tires, a torque sensor, a second rider and the lowest price. If none fits you, the honest ledger names the guide to read.

A trike stands on its own at a stop, and the step-through frames and backrest seats here suit a rider who wants to keep riding without the balance a two-wheeler asks for; our e-bike guide for seniors compares trikes and step-throughs across the brands we sell. 6 of the eight picks share one platform, a 750 W rear motor and a 48 V 20 Ah battery, so those cards lead with what sets each trike apart.

The Citytri E-310 Standard publishes a 13.8-inch standover, the frame height you step over to get on.

The SpytanX publishes an 11.2-inch standover, the lowest of the eight picks on this page.

The Arisetan II M-360 carries its rider in a backrest seat; the maker gives the Mini a 21.7-inch standover against the Standard's 26.7.

The M-380 Tandem publishes a 17.3-inch standover and a 96-inch overall length.

Citytri E-310 or Triketan M-330: the pair buyers compare

Search suggestions on September 22, 2026 paired these two by name, and the choice is cleaner than the price gap suggests. Both are upright trikes with a 750 W rear motor and a 48 V 20 Ah battery, per the maker's specification tabs (E-310 specification, M-330 specification). The $700 between them buys a torque sensor, a bigger payload split and a wider height window; the E-310 keeps the fold and the lower price.

Choose the E-310 if the trike has to travel in a vehicle or live in a small space, or if you are under 5'9" on the Standard. Choose the M-330 if you weigh more than the E-310's 280 lb rider figure, if you are over 6'1", or if you want the motor to respond to pedal pressure.

Every cell in both columns is Addmotor's, read from those two specification tabs on September 24, 2026.

Addmotor or Lectric

The other trike buyers type beside Addmotor is Lectric's XP Trike2, which Redtail does not sell; our Lectric brand profile covers that maker. Read September 24, 2026 from Lectric's own product page: $1,499, with a struck $1,954 on its own page, for a 500 W motor (1,092 W peak, 65 Nm) and a 48 V 13 Ah (624 Wh) battery rated for up to 50 miles.

Lectric's spec strip gives a 14 mph top speed and a 415 lb payload with a 330 lb rider limit, and its size guide a 4'10" to 6'2" height window. It folds and carries hydraulic brakes, front and rear parking brakes, a rear differential axle and a one-year warranty; a 750 W version with a torque sensor and an 840 Wh battery is $1,799.

Against that, the Citytri E-310 at $1,699 publishes a 750 W motor, a 48 V 20 Ah battery, a 20 mph top speed and a 280 lb rider figure plus 80 lb of cargo, with mechanical discs, per its specification at the maker. Both fold and both carry a parking brake and a rear differential.

At 48 V and 20 Ah, the E-310's pack works out to 960 Wh, against the 840 Wh of Lectric's $1,799 750 W version, so the E-310 carries 120 Wh more for $100 less.

If price decides it, the Citytan M-315 folds for $1,199 and carries a rider up to 230 lb; if hydraulic brakes decide it, the SpytanX publishes them; and if the weight you carry decides it, the Triketan M-330 publishes 350 lb of rider plus 100 lb of cargo.

Warranty, returns and shipping

If a trike will not switch on, will not charge, shows an error code or has a faulty part, our refund policy says it "is covered under manufacturer warranty — we coordinate repair or replacement remotely." Our Terms of Service carry the rest of the detail.

What Addmotor's own warranty page publishes for a new machine, read September 24, 2026:

The maker gives five days to report transit damage; we give 48 hours, and ours is the window to meet, because we file the carrier claim for you.

The battery term follows the pack: on the maker's warranty page a 20 Ah battery carries two years, while the 13.5 Ah and 15 Ah packs, on five models here, the Citypro E-43, Citytan M-315, Foldtan M-120 and Landtan among them, carry 18 months.

An order placed with us follows our shipping policy:

• Delivery costs nothing anywhere in the lower 48. An order bound for Alaska, Hawaii, a US territory, a PO box or a remote address can carry a charge or be declined, so email us before ordering.
• New York City is paused for now. All 28 of our Addmotor listings say Addmotor has suspended shipments to New York City's five boroughs, so we cannot deliver an Addmotor there today; email us and we will check the status before you order.
• Your order leaves within 1–3 business days, and most e-bikes arrive within another 5–10 business days, depending on your location, tracked, by parcel or LTL freight. Freight deliveries can require a signature.
• A sealed box can come back for a change of mind if you ask within 72 hours of delivery, less a 15% restocking fee and the cost of return shipping. After the box is opened or the trike ridden, a change-of-mind return is off the table, so check the order before you start assembly.
• Canceling costs a 3% fee, which covers card-processing charges we cannot get back.
• You have 48 hours to report damage. Point it out to the driver, email us photographs, and we file the claim with the carrier.

Every Addmotor we sell costs more than $1,000, and at that price Shop Pay Installments offers monthly installments over 3, 6 or 12 months, read from each listing on September 24, 2026, with an eligibility check before you commit.* With Shop Pay, a $1,199 purchase could be split into 12 monthly payments of $108.22 at 15% APR.

*Rates from 0-36% APR. Payment options through Shop Pay Installments are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required. State notices to consumers: affirm.com/licenses.

What the law says about a 750 W trike

A trike fits the federal definition's wheel count, and for 26 of the 28 Addmotor models the question is the word before 750: 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) says "less than 750 watts," so a 750 W motor sits on that line rather than under it, while California and Virginia write "does not exceed" and "no more than." The 500 W Citytan clears both wordings, and your state's own words decide the rest.

The federal product definition is one sentence long. 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) provides:

For the purpose of this section, the term "low-speed electric bicycle" means a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph.

Subsection (a) says what the definition does: such vehicles "are consumer products" and "shall be subject to the Commission regulations published at section 1500.18(a)(12) and part 1512 of title 16, Code of Federal Regulations." The CPSC's own bicycle regulation repeats the definition word for word at 16 C.F.R. § 1512.2(a)(2), so it can be checked in two places.

A trike is inside it on its face; what decides each model is the motor's wattage, which the maker publishes, and a motor-only speed measured on a paved level surface with a 170 lb rider.

The wattage limb turns on the words before 750. The federal text says "less than 750 watts," and the line falls in the same place whichever brand builds the motor. Illinois copies the federal words: 625 ILCS 5/1-140.10 says "an electric motor of less than 750 watts." Texas writes "fewer than 750 watts" at Transportation Code § 664.001.

Other states' definitions take in 750 W itself. California's § 312.5(a) says "an electric motor that does not exceed 750 watts of power," and Virginia's § 46.2-100 covers a vehicle on "not more than three wheels" with "an electric motor with an input of no more than 750 watts." Our California e-bike laws page and Virginia e-bike laws page read both in full.

National parks and BLM land

Federal land managers write the wattage line the inclusive way too, and add a class test. The National Park Service's definition at 36 C.F.R. § 1.4 covers "a two- or three-wheeled cycle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of not more than 750 watts that meets the requirements of one of the following three classes."

The Bureau of Land Management's, at 43 C.F.R. § 8340.0-5(j), uses the same "not more than 750 watts (1 h.p.)" and the same three classes.

A definition does not open a trail. In a national park, e-bike use "is prohibited in locations not designated by the Superintendent" (36 C.F.R. § 4.30(i)(2)), and a person convicted of violating the park rules in parts 1 through 7 "shall be subject to the criminal penalties provided under 18 U.S.C. 1865" (§ 1.3(a)).

The Bureau of Land Management treats an e-bike as an off-road vehicle unless, among other conditions, "the authorized officer has expressly determined" that "e-bikes should be treated the same as non-motorized bicycles" (§ 8340.0-5(a)(5)(iii)).

A breach of its off-road-vehicle rules in subparts 8341 and 8343 "is subject to arrest, conviction, and punishment pursuant to appropriate laws and regulations," and that punishment "may be a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not longer than 12 months, or both" (§ 8340.0-7).

Check the park's or field office's own designations before you ride there; our state-by-state e-bike law guide links each state's own wording.

Where Addmotor's published figures sit

On this shelf, 26 of the 28 models publish a 750 W motor. The Citytan M-315 is sold in a 500 W version and a 750 W version, the Citypro E-43 publishes 500 W, and the Grandtan Turbo publishes a 1,000 W Bafang mid-drive, above the 750 W figure in every definition quoted on this page, per the maker's own specification tables.

Where your state says "less than" or "fewer than," the 500 W Citytan is the Addmotor on our shelf that clears the wattage limb on the maker's own figure today (buy the M-315, 500 W), and the Citypro E-43 does the same if it returns to stock.

The speed limb is a measurement, and its words are "less than 20 mph." The statute measures it on motor power alone, on a paved level surface, with a 170 lb rider; a specification table reports the maker's own figure.

The maker's tables publish 15 mph on two models, the SpytanX among them, and 20 mph on 21. A published 20 mph lands on the federal figure; whether that machine would pass a measured, motor-only test is a question no specification table settles.

Texas writes its Class 1 and Class 2 lines as a top assisted speed of "20 miles per hour or less" at § 664.001, and your state's own wording decides the rest.

What Texas attaches to the wattage line

Texas draws the line on the wattage figure, for every brand alike. § 551.107(a) says "Subtitles A, B, and D and Chapter 551A do not apply to the operation of an electric bicycle."

For those rules of the road, § 541.201(24) gives the term "the meaning assigned by Section 664.001," which requires "an electric motor of fewer than 750 watts" (§ 664.001).

Subtitle A is certificates of title and registration, Subtitle B driver's licenses, and Subtitle D motor vehicle safety responsibility. A machine outside § 664.001 does not carry that exemption.

Each subtitle's own definition reaches it: registration counts "a vehicle that is self-propelled" as a motor vehicle (§ 502.001(25)), the licensing chapter takes its terms from the rules of the road (§ 521.001(b), reading § 541.201(11)), and financial responsibility covers "a self-propelled vehicle designed for use on a highway" (§ 601.002(5)).

Our Texas e-bike laws page walks the whole chapter, and our Illinois e-bike laws page does the same for that state's "less than."

Before you choose a model, hold its published motor and speed figures against your state's own wording; the table shows which of the maker's numbers each test reads.

Rider fit: height, payload and the weight of the machine

The maker publishes a rider height window on 25 of the 28 models' product pages, a payload on 27 and a machine weight on 26, and those three numbers settle the fit before a test ride. They are all in the lineup table.

Height. The windows run from the SpytanX's 4'9" floor to the Freetan M-368X's 6'7" ceiling, and 5 trikes publish a Standard and a Plus or Mini version with its own window, so pick your version before the color. If you are over 6'4" and would rather ride two wheels, read our guide for tall riders.

The Arisetan II M-360 has the highest floor, 5'7" on the Standard and 5'6" on the Mini; the Citytan M-315, Citytri E-310, Freetan M-368X, Landtan, U-Trike U-710 and U-Trike U-750 start at 5'1".

Standover. All 20 trikes publish a standover height on their Size & Fit tabs, the frame height you step over to get on. Across the eight picks it runs from the SpytanX's 11.2 inches to the Arisetan II M-360 Standard's 26.7, with the Citytri E-310 Standard at 13.8 and the Citytan M-315 at 14.1.

Payload. Addmotor writes most trike payloads as two numbers, rider plus cargo: 280 + 80 on the Citytri, 350 + 100 on the Triketan and Grandtan, and 350 + 150 on the Greattan pair, the largest split published, as the Greattan D's Size & Fit tab shows. Measure yourself against the rider figure, jacket and full basket in mind; the cargo figure belongs to the baskets and rack.

The weight of the machine. The two-wheelers here publish 66 to 99 lb (the Soletan's 99 lb is without its battery); the trikes run from 88 lb (Citytri E-310) to 198 lb. Plan your doorway, your step and a vehicle ramp before delivery day.

Six trikes on the shelf fold, among them the Citytan M-315, Citytri E-310, SpytanX, Triketan M-330F and U-Trike U-710; the maker publishes each one's folded size on its specification tab, as the E-310 specification shows, and our folding e-bike guide covers the folding two-wheelers.

The Greattan D publishes a 15.7-inch standover, lower than the Grandtan M-340 Standard's 17.5.

Addmotor's safety record across three CPSC registers

Addmotor carries zero CPSC recalls, zero CPSC safety warnings and zero CPSC news releases, screened September 24, 2026 under the brand name, the company name, the Motan and Addrider names, 19 model-family names and every model code in the lineup table. Each search was run first on brands that do have entries, Ancheer, Ridstar and Rad Power Bikes among them, and found them.

Within the recall web service, 37 recalls carry "e-bike," "electric bicycle" or "electric bike" in their title or product name, from September 18, 2001 to March 19, 2026; none names this brand or any of its models.

On its UL Certification page, the maker says many of its models are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified, and its product pages state the standard model by model, read September 24, 2026: "UL 2271 & 2849" on the Citytri E-310, Triketan M-330, Grandtan M-340 and Arisetan II M-360 (both versions), and "UL 2271" on 13 more of the models here.

Those are the maker's statements; if your building or city needs the certificate itself, email us before you order and we will request it from the maker.

The CPSC adds notices weekly, so run the recall check again on the day you buy.

Parts, batteries, manuals and the app

After whether Addmotor is any good, the Addmotor searches buyers type most ask where to get batteries, chargers and parts, then where to find manuals, error codes and the app (Google and Bing suggestions, September 22, 2026).

Batteries and parts. We sell Addmotor's complete machines; batteries, chargers, baskets, racks and spare parts come from Addmotor's own accessories store, with its batteries and chargers on pages of their own.

If you bought your trike from us and it needs warranty work, email our support desk first and we open the claim with the maker. Addmotor's own customer line, from its contact page, is +1 888-660-0868, open 8:30 to 5:30 Pacific time on weekdays and 10:00 to 4:30 on Saturdays, read September 24, 2026.

Manuals and error codes. The maker publishes an error-code guide and answers the assembly, charging and serial-number questions on its FAQ: the trikes arrive part-assembled, the battery is removable, and the serial number and battery label are what the maker asks for on any parts request. The app has a download page on the maker's site, and for a manual for a machine bought from us, our support desk will send the model's copy.

Dealers and test rides. The maker's store locator listed 128 US locations on September 24, 2026, 127 retailers and its own El Monte flagship, across 36 states and Puerto Rico, 72 of them labeled as offering test rides. Its showroom at 4188 Arden Drive, El Monte, opens six days a week with test rides from age 16. Once a ride settles your size, the same model ships free from us, its base version at the maker's own price.

Our directory of e-bike stores covers the shops we have verified city by city.

The honest ledger

Each of Addmotor's strengths below sits beside the rider it does not suit, with the page that rider should read instead, so a trike that is wrong for you costs you a click here and never a return.

Every row on the right is a matter of fit: a trike sized for a 5'1" rider will disappoint a 6'4" one however well it is built.

The questions buyers type about Addmotor

What other buyers ask about Addmotor, from 702 distinct Google and Bing suggestions on September 22, 2026: reviews and whether it is any good (61 suggestions), batteries, chargers and parts (45), manuals and the app (28), cargo trikes and trailers (26), the two-front-wheel trikes (22), folding (20), dealers and stores (17), price and deals (19), and who owns it and where it is made (14).

Among the Google searches that already land on our store, two more themes show up: "for sale" searches, and the reverse trikes by name.

Addmotor among US e-bike and trike brands

Addmotor's corner of our verified list of every e-bike brand sold in the USA is three wheels: 20 of the 28 models we carry are trikes, and its About page dates the tricycle range to 2018 and its first semi-recumbent trike to 2017.

Three facts describe it, each read from a published source: a rider height window on 25 of its 28 product pages, no entry in three CPSC registers, and 128 US locations on the maker's own store locator, in 36 states and Puerto Rico. If you want a two-wheel commuter, you will find one in our buying guide, and Addmotor's own 8 two-wheelers are in the lineup table.

Our electric trikes guide matches 23 trikes from across the brands we sell to a rider; our 750 W e-bike guide sets 48 of our 750 W bikes on one rider grid; our guide to the best e-bike brands, 189 models verified, sets the brands side by side; and our reviews hub gathers our full reviews across brands.

Five checks to run before you buy an Addmotor

Before you spend $1,199 to $4,699, you can confirm the main facts on this page yourself, free, in five steps, each on a public page that needs no account, and each worth repeating on the day you order.

Who holds the ADDMOTOR trademark

Open registration 5226479 on the USPTO's status page, or type ADDMOTOR into the trademark search. The status record lists the owner, the owner's address, the filing date and the first-use date, and an accepted Section 8 declaration in its history means the mark is being kept up.

The recall and warning record

Type Addmotor, then the model you want, into the CPSC recall search, and repeat both in the warnings listing. The CPSC keeps warnings apart from recalls, so a clean recall search says nothing about warnings.

Which version's specification you are reading

Open the model's page at the maker and click the Size & Fit tab. On pages that publish versions, the first row is Version, and every row under it carries one value per version: on the Grandtan the Standard fits 5'2" to 6'4" and the Plus 5'5" to 6'5". Read the column for the version you are buying.

What the wattage words in your state's law mean

Read the one-sentence federal definition at 15 U.S.C. § 2085(b), then your state's, and find the words just before 750: "less than" and "fewer than" exclude a 750 W motor; "no more than" and "does not exceed" include it. Our state-by-state law guide links the wording for each state.

Which figures are current

Read the model's product page for today's figures. A blog post describes the machine on the day it was written, and Addmotor's blog runs back to 2020.

Re-check three things on the day you order, because each can change after September 24, 2026: the price and the stock on our listing, the delivery note for your address, and the CPSC registers, which add notices weekly.

Frequently asked questions

Is Addmotor a good brand?

Yes. On September 24, 2026, no CPSC recall, warning or safety news release named it; the maker's warranty page gives the frame and motor two years; 25 of 28 product pages publish a rider height window, so you can choose the version that fits you; and we have reviewed two of its trikes, the Citytri E-310 and the M-380 Tandem. Buy it from us and our US desk opens any warranty claim for you.

Who owns Addmotor?

The ADDMOTOR trademark, registration 5226479, is held by an individual registrant, Chen Qiang, at a Guangzhou, China address, per the USPTO record read September 24, 2026, with first use in commerce recorded as July 24, 2016. The company behind the warranty is Addmotor Tech Inc., which dates its story to 2011 in El Monte, California, on its About page, where it runs a warehouse and showroom.

Where are Addmotor trikes made?

Addmotor's About page says the company "has its own factory for designing and manufacturing products" and places its warehouse and showroom in El Monte, California; the ADDMOTOR trademark's registrant gives a Guangzhou, China address. For the factory behind a specific model, email us and we will ask the maker.

Is Addmotor legit, and is it still in business?

Yes on both counts on the record: Addmotor Tech Inc. is the company named on its warranty page, the ADDMOTOR mark has been a live US registration since 2017, and its El Monte showroom at 4188 Arden Drive opens six days a week. On September 24, 2026 the maker's site served a live, priced page for all 28 models on our shelf, and its blog carried a post dated September 14, 2026 announcing a new model.

How fast does an Addmotor trike go?

The maker's specification tables publish 20 mph on 21 of the 28 models and 15 mph on two, the SpytanX among them. The federal product definition asks for a motor-only speed "less than 20 mph" on a paved level surface with a 170 lb rider, which a specification table does not report.

Texas sets its Class 1 and Class 2 limit at "a top assisted speed of 20 miles per hour or less." Read your own state's wording in our law guide.

How much weight can an Addmotor trike carry?

Most trikes publish it as rider plus cargo: 230 + 80 lb on the Citytan M-315, 280 + 80 on the Citytri E-310, 280 + 100 on the Arisetan II M-360, 350 + 100 on the Triketan M-330 and Grandtan M-340, and 350 + 150 on the Greattan D and L. Measure yourself against the rider figure.

For the M-380 Tandem, the product page gives 550 lb and a maker blog post 350 + 150; plan on the 350 + 150, and we will confirm the rating with the maker before you order.

How much does an Addmotor trike weigh?

The maker's figures, in pounds: Citytri E-310 88, Landtan 90, Citytan M-315 96, SpytanX 105, Arisetan II M-360 110, Grandtan M-340 110, Triketan M-330 112, M-380 Tandem 147, Greattan D 148 and Greattan L 154. Of these, the Citytri E-310, Citytan M-315, SpytanX and Triketan M-330 figures include the battery. Plan on a ramp to get one into a vehicle.

What warranty comes with an Addmotor bought from Redtail?

Our refund policy states that a defective machine bought from us "is covered under manufacturer warranty — we coordinate repair or replacement remotely," so the claim starts with one email to our support desk. Addmotor's own warranty page publishes two years on the frame, the motor and a 20 Ah battery, 18 months on a 13.5 Ah or 15 Ah battery, and one year on listed parts, with wear items excluded.

Can I return an Addmotor trike if I change my mind?

Bought from Redtail, yes, if the box is still sealed: ask within 72 hours of delivery and a change-of-mind return is accepted, less a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping. An opened box or a ridden trike cannot come back for a change of mind. A damaged, faulty or wrong trike is a different matter: send photographs within 48 hours and we put it right at no cost to you.

Has Addmotor ever had a recall?

No. Screened September 24, 2026, the CPSC's recall file (10,041 recall numbers), its warnings listing (371 notices) and its newsroom (2,266 releases) carry no entry for Addmotor, the Motan name, or any model family or model code on this page, battery recalls included. The CPSC adds notices weekly, so repeat the check on the day you buy.

Where do I get Addmotor parts and a replacement battery?

From Addmotor's own accessories store, batteries, chargers, baskets, racks and replacement parts among them. Have the serial number and the battery label ready; the maker's FAQ says where to find both. For anything under warranty on a machine bought from us, email our support desk first and we open the claim.

Where is the Addmotor manual, and is there an app?

The maker's support pages carry an error-code guide and a FAQ covering assembly, charging and serial numbers, and its app has a download page on the maker's site. For a manual for a machine bought from us, email our support desk and we will send the model's copy.

Addmotor or Lectric: which trike?

Choose on speed, range, load and brakes; both fold and both carry a parking brake and a rear differential. For $200 more, the Citytri E-310 publishes 20 mph against the XP Trike2's 14 mph, and a 48 V 20 Ah battery, 960 Wh, with a range of 90 miles on pedal-assist level 1, against 624 Wh and up to 50 miles.

Lectric's XP Trike2 publishes hydraulic brakes and a 330 lb maximum rider weight at $1,499, against the E-310's mechanical disc brakes on each wheel and 280 lb rider figure at $1,699.

Where can I buy an Addmotor, and is there a dealer near me?

From us: every model we carry, each base version at the maker's own price, shipped free within the contiguous United States, New York City excepted for now (our Addmotor collection). In person, the maker's store locator listed 128 US locations on September 24, 2026, 23 of them in Florida and 14 in California, and its El Monte showroom offers test rides from age 16.

How much does an Addmotor trike cost?

On our shelf on September 24, 2026, Addmotor trikes ran from $1,199 (the Citytan M-315) to $4,699 (the M-380 Tandem with two batteries), and the two-wheelers from $1,099 (the Citypro E-43, sold out that day) to $2,599. Each base version is at the maker's own price and ships free.

Can I finance an Addmotor trike?

Yes. Choose Shop Pay Installments at checkout: every Addmotor we sell costs more than $1,000, and at that price Shop Pay offers monthly payment plans, subject to an eligibility check, with the options for your order shown before you commit. Read from the listings on September 24, 2026.

The bottom line

Addmotor is a trike maker first: 20 of the 28 models we sell have three wheels, none carries a CPSC recall, and 25 publish the rider heights they fit on their product pages. They cost $1,099 to $4,699 here, each base version at the maker's own price, delivered free.

Choose Addmotor for three wheels sized to your height and your load. The range is trike-led and published in detail, with versions that fit riders from 4'9" to 6'7" and a torque sensor on 17 of the 28 models.

Start with the Citytri E-310 at $1,699 if the trike must fold or travel: 750 W, a parking brake, a rear differential and our own ridden review behind it (buy the E-310 Standard). The Grandtan M-340 at $2,399 suits a taller rider on rough ground (buy the M-340 Standard), and the Arisetan II M-360 a rider who wants a backrest (buy the M-360 Standard).

If your state writes "less than" 750 watts, the Citytan M-315 in its 500 W version is the one trike here with a published motor under 750 W (buy the 500 W Citytan).

For a rider up to 350 lb, the Triketan M-330 publishes 350 lb of rider plus 100 lb of cargo (buy the M-330 Standard); for cargo, the Greattan D (buy the Greattan D); for two riders, the M-380 Tandem (buy the M-380, one battery).

For the shortest riders, the SpytanX, whose window starts at 4'9", puts two wheels in front on hydraulic brakes (buy the SpytanX). If you want two wheels, Addmotor's 8 two-wheelers are in the lineup table, and our step-thru e-bike guide sets every step-through we sell side by side.

Limitations

Ten limits on what this page could read on September 24, 2026, each with the figures it touches and, where a figure could decide your order, the way to confirm it with us before you buy.

1. Every specification has one publisher, the manufacturer. The maker's product pages, catalog cards, FAQ and blog were all read. Where a blog post gives a different figure from today's product page for the same model and attribute, both are printed in item 3.
2. Cells from the maker's blog, and the one dash. 10 table cells come from the maker's blog because the product page gives no figure, each marked †: the Soletri II M-366X's weight (September 5, 2025); the Greattan L's top speed (January 30, 2026, January 7, 2026); the Foldtan M-140's top speed (April 21, 2025, June 8, 2026) and rider height (January 23, 2025); the Foldtan M-160's top speed (May 30, 2025, April 21, 2025) and weight (April 21, 2025, July 10, 2026) and rider height (May 30, 2025, June 8, 2026, July 10, 2026) and payload (September 6, 2023, June 8, 2026, April 21, 2025, May 30, 2025, July 10, 2026); the Graoopro's rider height (October 13, 2023); the Soletan M-66X's top speed (April 24, 2025, April 25, 2025). The Foldtan M-160's payload is 280 lb in two of those posts and 300 lb in three, and the Soletan M-66X's top speed is 20 mph in one post and 25 mph in the other; both figures are printed. The Kunlun's top speed is printed as a dash: we did not find it on its product page or in the maker's blog on September 24, 2026. The Kunlun's page states its motor, height window and load in its description and its weight in a geometry block, and those are the figures printed. On pages that publish versions, the specification tabs carry a Version row and one value per version.
3. Where a maker blog post gives a different figure. Today's product page is the figure printed; a post describes the machine on the day it was written. The Citytri E-310's weight is 88 lb on its product page and 86 lb in a July 10, 2026 post; the Foldtan M-140's is 81 lb and 73 lb in an April 21, 2025 post; the M-380 Tandem's load is a single 550 lb and its weight 147 lb on its product page, and "Payload: 350 + 150 lb" and about 135 lb in a September 5, 2025 post; the Greattan L's product page gives 154 lb, and four posts, among them January 7, 2026, give 152.1 lb for the single-battery version; and the Arisetan II M-360's top speed is 20 mph on its product page and 22 mph in a November 29, 2024 post. If one of these figures decides your order, email us and we will confirm it with the maker.
4. The Citytri E-310's motor is published at two figures on two maker pages. The maker's current US page publishes 750 W; an export page quoting kilometers publishes 500 W. Our E-310 review records both, and the US page's figure is printed here.
5. The California business register could not be read. Its search service answered two direct requests with an access error and a browser with an empty page shell on September 24, 2026, so the company name is printed only as the maker prints it, Addmotor Tech Inc.
6. The CPSC newsroom is counted from its live listing. All 233 pages were read on September 24, 2026; the newsroom's download file is not used.
7. No UL certificate was retrieved. The UL 2271 and UL 2849 statements are the maker's; if you need the document, email us and we will request it from the maker.
8. No search-volume figure appears on this page. Demand is measured as counts of distinct live suggestions and of queries reaching our store, never as monthly volume.
9. Prices are compared on each listing's base version. Other versions, the Plus, Mini, 750 W and dual-battery options, are priced on each model's listing and are not part of that comparison. Two of them sit above the maker's price on September 24, 2026: the Mini on our Arisetan II M-360 listing ($2,799 here, $2,699 at the maker); the Herotri II M-365X on our Soletri II M-366X listing ($2,799 here, $2,599 at the maker). Our separate Arisetan II M-360 Mini listing is $2,699, the maker's price.
10. Volatile figures expire. Prices, stock, finance terms and the maker's struck list prices were read on September 24, 2026; the CPSC registers add entries weekly; the maker's warranty page carries no effective date.
