Quick Answer. A passenger electric bike is one its maker builds and rates for a second rider: a seat for them, somewhere for their feet, and a load limit that covers you both. This guide covers 17 we sell, from the $899 Riding'times GT33 to the $3,899 Addmotor M-380 Tandem. Twelve carry two average American adults inside their maker's own limit.

How we verified this guide. We read all 224 active e-bike listings on our store on November 13, 2026, then each maker's own product page for every bike that any listing or catalog tied to a passenger. Twenty-five machines met the test this page uses: the maker says, on its own page, that a second person rides on it. Seventeen are cards here and three more carry children.
We cite 72 sources, each retrieved in full and saved; the 6 whose sites refuse an automated reader were read from those saved copies.
Every bike figure is the maker's own, quoted from its US store page on November 14, 2026, and the two-adults table carries each maker's words. The state counts come from the statutes. The payload arithmetic uses the CDC's measured adult weights. Prices are our store's on November 14, 2026.
17 two-seat e-bikes and trikes, side by side
This guide covers 17 machines we sell whose makers build them for a second rider: six two-seaters inside the e-bike rules, six over them, two longtails and three trikes. The table lists each one with how the passenger rides, the maker's load limit, and whether two average adults fit inside it. Prices are ours, read November 14, 2026.
You came here because someone is going to ride with you: a partner on the way to dinner, a friend on a trail. Pick a bike its maker did not build for a passenger and your second rider sits on a part not rated as a seat, while 23 jurisdictions' codes limit a bicycle to the riders it is designed or equipped for.
The decision this page walks through has three parts: the seat and the footing, the load limit against the weight of the two of you, and the line in your state's code.

Every row links to its card below, where the maker's own words for the passenger, the load and the motor sit beside the button that adds it to your cart.
Before you compare Write down the weight of both riders and anything you carry. A machine whose load limit sits under that number is the wrong machine for the two of you, however long its seat looks.
What makes an electric bike a passenger bike
A passenger e-bike is one whose maker says a second person rides on it, and gives that person a seat, a place for their feet, and room in the load limit. Three shapes do it on two wheels: a long bench or two-person saddle, a passenger seat on a rear rack, and a longtail. Trikes add a fourth: a passenger seat of its own, or a second set of pedals.
Among this guide's 17, the shapes split like this:
- A two-person saddle or long seat: Eunorau's FLASH LITE 2.0, FLASH LITE ST, FLASH AWD 1.0 and FLASH 2.0, the NOVA's bench-style seat, the Tiger Plus's extended seat, the GT33's elongated seat and the Soletan's banana seat.
- A passenger seat over the rear wheel: the SF20H's fitted rear seat, and the passenger seat in Tesway's kit for the X5 AWD, X7 AWD and X7 PRO.
- A longtail: the Graoopro with Addmotor's passenger seat pad, and the C5 AWD with Tesway's extended passenger seat.
- On three wheels: the Soletri II's shared banana seat, the Greattan L's belted passenger seat and the M-380's two sets of pedals.
The shape decides how the ride feels for the person behind you. On a long seat they sit close behind you and hold on to you; on a rear passenger seat they have a seat of their own over the back wheel; on a longtail they share the rack with the shopping; on the Greattan L they sit in their own belted seat.
The seat is the part you can see, and the load limit is the part that decides. A seat for two on a bike rated for 300 lb carries a rider and a lighter passenger; on a bike rated for 450 lb it carries two average adults.
Foot support is the part shoppers forget. Qiolor ships the Tiger Plus with "Extended seat + rear passenger footrests included", VTUVIA fits the SF20H with a rear foot peg, and Addmotor answers that the Soletan "has rear footpegs".
What is the difference between a tandem e-bike and a two-seater?
A tandem gives both riders pedals; a two-seater gives the passenger a seat and lets them ride. On our shelf the one tandem is a trike, the Addmotor M-380, whose "front and rear pedals operate independently", and Addmotor sells it as "A true tandem eTrike for couples, caregivers, seniors, and families". Every other machine here carries the second person as a passenger.
Can it carry two adults? The arithmetic
Twelve of the 17 machines in this guide carry two average American adults inside the maker's own load limit; four do not, and one trike limits its passenger seat to about 150 lb. Two average adults weigh 370.8 lb, from the CDC's measured averages: 199.0 lb for men and 171.8 lb for women, adults 20 and older, measured from August 2021 to August 2023.
The same figures appear in the national survey's own report, Table 4, with the percentiles. A heavier pair, each at the 75th percentile, weighs 418.6 lb, and nine of the 17 still carry them. That percentile is not rare: one American man in four weighs more than 221.9 lb, and one woman in four more than 196.7 lb.
Where a maker says what its load limit counts, it counts the riders and what they carry, and the tables read every limit that way. Qiolor states it plainly for the Tiger Plus: "the combined weight of rider, passenger and cargo must remain within that limit". Eunorau calls its figure a "Total Payload Capacity", and Addmotor counts "the rider, passengers, and cargo" on its family trike.
| Machine | Maker's limit, as each maker defines it | Room for two average adults (370.8 lb) | Room for a heavier pair (418.6 lb) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Addmotor Greattan L | under 500 lb: rider 350, passenger about 150 | passenger seat under an average adult | passenger seat under an average adult |
| Addmotor M-380 Tandem | 550 lb in total: the two riders up to 500, the basket 50 | +129.2 lb | +81.4 lb |
| Qiolor NOVA | 450 lb, the total on the bike | +79.2 lb | +31.4 lb |
| Addmotor Graoopro | 450 lb, the total on the bike | +79.2 lb | +31.4 lb |
| Tesway C5 AWD | 450 lb, the total on the bike | +79.2 lb | +31.4 lb |
| Addmotor Soletri II M-366X | 450 lb listed; printed as 350+100 | +79.2 lb | +31.4 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 | 440 lb, the total on the bike | +69.2 lb | +21.4 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH LITE ST | 440 lb, the total on the bike | +69.2 lb | +21.4 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH AWD 1.0 | 440 lb, the total on the bike | +69.2 lb | +21.4 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH 2.0 | 440 lb, the total on the bike | +69.2 lb | +21.4 lb |
| Qiolor Tiger Plus | 400 lb, the total on the bike | +29.2 lb | -18.6 lb (over) |
| Tesway X5 AWD | 400 lb, the total on the bike | +29.2 lb | -18.6 lb (over) |
| Tesway X7 AWD | 400 lb, the total on the bike | +29.2 lb | -18.6 lb (over) |
| Tesway X7 PRO | 350 lb, the total on the bike | -20.8 lb (over) | -68.6 lb (over) |
| VTUVIA SF20H | 330 lb, the total on the bike | -40.8 lb (over) | -88.6 lb (over) |
| Riding'times GT33 | 330 lb, the total on the bike | -40.8 lb (over) | -88.6 lb (over) |
| Addmotor Soletan M-66X | 300 lb, the total on the bike | -70.8 lb (over) | -118.6 lb (over) |
The room column is the maker's load limit minus 370.8 lb, before you add a bag; for the M-380 it is the 500 lb Addmotor gives the two riders. A negative number means the two of you are over that maker's limit before you leave the driveway. The full table, with each maker's own words and the date we read them, is published as a CSV file and a JSON file.

The makers' load limits beside two average US adults and a heavier pair. The M-380 bar is the share Addmotor gives its two riders; the Greattan L, judged seat by seat, is not drawn.
Choose here if you ride with another adult: start with the machines that show room in our two-adults table, and add what you carry. The SF20H, GT33, X7 PRO and Soletan suit a rider and a lighter passenger.
Your passenger's weight, machine by machine
Subtract your own weight from the maker's limit and what is left is the heaviest passenger it is rated to carry, before you add a bag. Weigh both of you dressed to ride, and count the bag on your back too: the limit covers everything on the machine.
With a 200 lb rider, the M-380 Tandem leaves 300 lb for the passenger and the NOVA 250 lb; the Soletan M-66X leaves 100 lb, room for a lighter passenger. The table runs the same subtraction for a rider of 150, 200 and 250 lb.

How heavy your passenger can be with a 200 lb rider and nothing else on board.
| Machine | Maker's figure, as each maker defines it | Rider 150 lb | Rider 200 lb | Rider 250 lb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Addmotor Greattan L | passenger seat about 150 lb; rider up to 350 lb | about 150 lb | about 150 lb | about 150 lb |
| Addmotor M-380 Tandem | 500 lb for the two riders (550 lb in total) | up to 350 lb | up to 300 lb | up to 250 lb |
| Qiolor NOVA | 450 lb | up to 300 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb |
| Addmotor Graoopro | 450 lb | up to 300 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb |
| Tesway C5 AWD | 450 lb | up to 300 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb |
| Addmotor Soletri II M-366X | 450 lb | up to 300 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 | 440 lb | up to 290 lb | up to 240 lb | up to 190 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH LITE ST | 440 lb | up to 290 lb | up to 240 lb | up to 190 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH AWD 1.0 | 440 lb | up to 290 lb | up to 240 lb | up to 190 lb |
| Eunorau FLASH 2.0 | 440 lb | up to 290 lb | up to 240 lb | up to 190 lb |
| Qiolor Tiger Plus | 400 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb | up to 150 lb |
| Tesway X5 AWD | 400 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb | up to 150 lb |
| Tesway X7 AWD | 400 lb | up to 250 lb | up to 200 lb | up to 150 lb |
| Tesway X7 PRO | 350 lb | up to 200 lb | up to 150 lb | up to 100 lb |
| VTUVIA SF20H | 330 lb | up to 180 lb | up to 130 lb | up to 80 lb |
| Riding'times GT33 | 330 lb | up to 180 lb | up to 130 lb | up to 80 lb |
| Addmotor Soletan M-66X | 300 lb | up to 150 lb | up to 100 lb | up to 50 lb |
The Greattan L works differently: Addmotor gives its passenger seat about 150 lb whatever the rider weighs, and the rider up to 350 lb. On the M-380, the figure is the 500 lb Addmotor gives the two riders; its basket takes 50 lb more.
Weigh both of you before you choose. If your passenger weighs more than the figure in your column, read the next machine up the table.
Passenger electric bikes inside the e-bike line
Inside the e-bike rules, the Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 carries two adults on a two-person saddle for $1,614, and the Qiolor NOVA does it on a bench built for two for $1,599. All six bikes in this section ship with a 750 W motor and a 20 mph limit.
That line matters for a passenger: in most states an e-bike inside the definition is a bicycle, and the passenger rule is the bicycle's. Four of the six publish a limit you can raise, so their counts below say "as it ships" (the passenger law).
The difference is California: its code says a two- or three-wheeler "that is intended by the manufacturer to be modifiable to attain a speed greater than 20 miles per hour on motor power alone or to attain more than 750 watts of power" is not an e-bike, so those four count 28 jurisdictions where the Tiger Plus counts 29 (our screen of every machine).
Budget: the VTUVIA SF20H. Mid: the NOVA, the FLASH LITE 2.0, the FLASH LITE ST and the Soletan M-66X. Luxury: the Tiger Plus.
VTUVIA SF20H
$1,299 · maker's list $1,399Who it is for: you ride with a lighter passenger and want a folding fat tire bike with a fitted rear seat and a foot peg.
What decides it: VTUVIA sells it as a "Foldable Utility Electric Bike" and says "The rear foot peg provides added comfort for passengers, making the SF20H a great choice for carrying a second rider", and "The rear seat now features a leather cushion, making rides more comfortable for passengers".
It rates the bike at "330 Lbs Payload Capacity", fits a "48V 750W(PEAK 1200W) Rear Brushless Motor", and writes that "The SF20H has a factory-limited top speed of 20 mph, but it can reach up to 28 mph under full power". It weighs 60 lb with its rack and fenders.
Two average adults come to 370.8 lb, 40.8 lb over its limit, so it suits a rider and a lighter passenger. As it ships, it sits inside the e-bike definition in 28 of 51 jurisdictions.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 130 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 80 lb, before any cargo.

Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0
$1,614 · maker's list $1,899Who it is for: you ride with another adult on streets and bike lanes, on one two-person saddle.
What decides it: Eunorau fits a "Two-Person Plush Saddle" and says "Two riders, one e-bike: with the 52V750W motor, the extra weight of a passenger is no problem". "It is powered by a 52V 750W rear hub motor that produces up to 92 Nm of torque," Eunorau writes, and it lists a "Total Payload Capacity 440 lbs". It ships at "20 MPH, unlockable".

Eunorau FLASH LITE ST
$1,614 · maker's list $1,899Who it is for: you want a frame you step through rather than swing a leg over, with room behind you for a passenger.
What decides it: Eunorau gives it "an accessible step-through frame" and says its saddle "offers relaxed seating for longer rides and extra room for a passenger when needed". It carries a "52V 750W Rear Motor with 92 N·m Torque" and lists "Bike Weight 82 lbs" and "Total Payload Capacity 440 lbs"; "The FLASH LITE ST has a maximum assisted speed of 20 mph".
Two average adults leave 69.2 lb of its limit for cargo. A heavier pair (418.6 lb) leaves 21.4 lb. As it ships, it sits inside the e-bike definition in 28 of 51 jurisdictions.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 240 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 190 lb, before any cargo.

Addmotor Soletan M-66X
$1,899Who it is for: you ride with a lighter passenger and want a full-suspension two-wheeler with a banana seat and footpegs.
What decides it: Addmotor calls it a "Full-Suspension eBike With Banana Seat" and answers "Yes, Soletan e-bike has rear footpegs". It lists a "Payload Capacity 300 LBS" and a "Rear Brushless Motor 750W", and "The maximum speed has been set at 20mph".
Two average adults come to 370.8 lb, 70.8 lb over its limit, so it suits a rider and a lighter passenger. It sits inside the e-bike definition in 28 of 51 jurisdictions.
Pennsylvania is not one of them: its definition stops at a vehicle "weighing not more than 100 pounds", and Addmotor lists the Soletan at "99 lbs (excluding battery)" with a 48V 20Ah pack that, Addmotor answers, "weighs 6 kg (about 13.2 lbs)". Addmotor's post of April 21, 2025, gives "Bike Weight: 83.8 lbs" without saying whether the pack is in. In Pennsylvania, the NOVA sits inside the definition on Qiolor's figures.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 100 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 50 lb, before any cargo.
Who should read another pick: for two average adults, the NOVA at $1,599 or the FLASH LITE 2.0 at $1,614. Read our Soletan review.

Qiolor Tiger Plus
$2,499Who it is for: you ride two-up and want seven gears, full suspension and footrests for your passenger.
What decides it: Qiolor says "Tiger Plus is the two-rider option in the Tiger lineup", with "Extended seat + rear passenger footrests included". It adds a "7-speed drivetrain" and "20×4.0 INNOVA fat tires", and prints "Motor Peak 1100W". "Its maximum total payload is 400 lbs, so the combined weight of rider, passenger and cargo must remain within that limit," Qiolor writes. It weighs 90 lb.
Two average adults leave 29.2 lb of its limit for cargo. A heavier pair (418.6 lb) is 18.6 lb over. It sits inside the e-bike definition in 29 of 51 jurisdictions.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 200 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 150 lb, before any cargo.

Two-seaters over the e-bike line
Over the e-bike line, the Tesway X5 AWD and X7 AWD carry two riders on 3,600 W of peak power for $1,699, and the Riding'times GT33 seats two for $899.
None of the six sits inside the e-bike definition in more than four of the 51 jurisdictions as it ships, so the e-bike rules do not cover it on most public roads: ride it on private land, or read your state's rules for motorized vehicles before you take it on the street.
Read them as machines for private land and wherever your state's code assigns them a place. Each card prints how many of the 51 jurisdictions' e-bike definitions it sits inside, from the statutes; every machine's list of jurisdictions is published as a CSV file and a JSON file.

Riding'times GT33
$899 · maker's list $1,999Who it is for: you ride with a lighter passenger on private land and want to spend the least on this list.
What decides it: Riding'times sells it as the "GT33 Cargo Electric Bike – 1350W All-Terrain Cafe Racer eBike" and says its "elongated seat and tall reinforced black frame offer superior comfort for taller or heavier riders", in a design "supporting cargo and passenger rides with equal confidence". It prints "Three throttle speed modes— 15, 22, and 34 mph", "MAX LOAD: 330 LBS" and "NET WEIGHT: 105 LBS".
Two average adults come to 370.8 lb, 40.8 lb over its limit, so it suits a rider and a lighter passenger. It sits outside the e-bike definition in all 49 jurisdictions that write one; Alaska and Kentucky write none. Ride it on private land, or check your state's motor vehicle rules before a public road.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 130 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 80 lb, before any cargo.

Electric trikes for two
On three wheels, the Addmotor Soletri II seats two adults on one banana seat for $2,799, the Greattan L gives the passenger a seat of their own with a safety belt for $3,699, and the M-380 Tandem gives both riders pedals for $3,899. All three ship with a 750 W motor and a 20 mph limit.
An electric tricycle for two comes in three forms here: a passenger trike with a seat of its own, a shared seat, and a tandem trike where both of you pedal.
All three are Addmotor's: of the trikes we sell, only Addmotor's carry a second rider by their maker's own description, so this area holds one maker. Compare more three-wheelers in our electric trike collection. Three wheels take more room, too: Addmotor lists the M-380 at a "Total Length 96"" and a "Total Width 38.5"", so measure your garage door and your route before you order.
Addmotor Soletri II M-366X
$2,799Who it is for: the two of you want three wheels and one long shared seat.
What decides it: Addmotor sells it as a "Rear Drive Full Suspension Electric Trike for Two Adults" and a "Banana Seat Trike".
It prints "Payload Capacity 350+100 LBS", and asked whether all of the listed 450 lb can be the rider's weight, Addmotor answered: "Hi, yes, it can. But that means you can't carry anything." It runs a "Rear-Drive Motor 750W", and Addmotor answers that "The top speed of the Soletri M-366X electric trike is 20 mph" and "The weight is about 130LBS (Include Battery)".
Two average adults leave 79.2 lb of its limit for cargo. A heavier pair (418.6 lb) leaves 31.4 lb. It sits inside the e-bike definition in 25 of 51 jurisdictions.
Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 250 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 200 lb, before any cargo.

Addmotor Greattan L
$3,699 · maker's list $4,199Who it is for: your passenger is lighter and rides in a seat of their own, with a seat belt.
What decides it: Addmotor sells it as a "Dual-Battery Electric Trike with Passenger Seat" and says "The trike comes equipped with a safety belt that ensures passenger safety". It writes that "the maximum weight capacity for the passenger is approximately 150 lbs, and for the rider, it is 350 lbs", and that "the maximum load capacity is under 500 lbs".
Addmotor says "the Greattan L trike is available only with a 750W rear-mounted motor; however, its peak output can exceed 1400W", with "Top Speed 20 Mph". Addmotor's "GREATTAN L Seatbelt for Passenger", one of its gifts with this trike, ships with your order from us.
Addmotor's 350 lb for the rider covers either average adult; its figure of about 150 lb for the passenger is under the average adult woman's 171.8 lb, so the passenger seat suits a lighter passenger. It sits inside the e-bike definition in 25 of 51 jurisdictions.
Your passenger: up to about 150 lb on the passenger seat, with a rider up to 350 lb.
Who should read another pick: for two average adults on three wheels, the Soletri II or the M-380. Read our Greattan L review.

$3,899 · maker's list $4,699Who it is for: you both want to pedal.

Your passenger: with a 200 lb rider, up to 300 lb inside the maker's figure; with a 250 lb rider, up to 250 lb, before any cargo.

Choose here if you would rather balance on three wheels than two, or your passenger wants a belted seat of their own (the room for each). The M-380 carries the most, 550 lb in total; the Greattan L belts the passenger in, up to about 150 lb.
If the passenger is a child
For a child, the seat matters more than the bench: California and Massachusetts ask for a seat that holds a child of 40 lb or less in place, and three of our picks are built around child passengers. Our guide to e-bikes for moms matches a child seat to a child's age.
California's code says: "If the passenger is four years of age or younger, or weighs 40 pounds or less, the seat shall have adequate provision for retaining the passenger in place" and for protecting them from the moving parts of the bicycle. Massachusetts allows a child "between the ages of one to four years, or weighing forty pounds or less" only in a harnessed baby seat or on a tandem's seat.
Georgia lets a child under one ride only "on a bicycle trailer or in an infant sling", and the rules for a child in ten codes are quoted with the passenger law below.
The three child carriers do it in different places. Addmotor's E-325 puts kids in a box in front of the rider, and our listing ships it with a rain canopy. Eunorau's G30-CARGO and MAX-CARGO carry them on a long rear rack, where Eunorau says its "long-tail rear rack supports optional child safety seats and handrails".
Addmotor E-325
$3,599Who it is for: your children ride up front in a cargo box, on three wheels.
What decides it: Addmotor calls it "A front-box electric cargo trike built for school runs, grocery trips, and safer family rides". It lists a "Payload Capacity 550 lbs", "including the rider, passengers, and cargo", and a "Rear Drive Motor 750W" at "Top Speed 15 MPH". It sits inside the e-bike definition in 25 of 51 jurisdictions.
Who should read another pick: for a two-wheeler with a long rack, the G30-CARGO; to match a child seat to your child's age, our e-bikes for moms guide.

Who should read another pick: for children riding up front in a box, the E-325. Read our MAX-CARGO review.

Is it legal to carry a passenger on an e-bike?
Yes, in most states, on a bike designed and equipped for the passenger. Of the 29 jurisdictions where a 750 W, 20 mph two-wheeler counts as an e-bike, 23 limit a bicycle to the number of riders it is designed or equipped for, and three require a seat for every passenger. That is why the maker's own two-seat design matters.
| What the code asks | Jurisdictions | Count |
|---|---|---|
| No more riders than the bicycle is designed and equipped for | GA, HI, IA, IN, MI, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, PA, SC, WA | 13 |
| No more riders than it is designed or equipped for | CO, CT, DC, DE, MN, OR, RI, UT, VA | 9 |
| No more riders than it is designed for | WI | 1 |
| A seat for each passenger | CA, MA, MD | 3 |
| No carrying rule in the sections read | MT, NC, SD | 3 |
What each code says, in its own words
The table quotes the codes' own words on a bicycle's riders, so you can read the line your state draws. Montana, North Carolina and South Dakota set no number of riders in the sections we read. Each quote was read in the code's own text between August 19 and October 2, 2026, and checked again on November 7; Colorado's, Georgia's, Maryland's, Massachusetts' and New Mexico's were read again on November 14, 2026.
Ten of the codes add a rule of their own for carrying a child:
- California: a passenger "four years of age or younger, or weighs 40 pounds or less" rides in a seat with "adequate provision for retaining the passenger in place".
- Delaware: an adult rider may carry "a child securely attached to the person in a backpack or sling".
- Georgia: no child under one rides as a passenger, except that "a child under the age of one year may be transported on a bicycle trailer or in an infant sling".
- Massachusetts: a child "between the ages of one to four years, or weighing forty pounds or less" rides only in a harnessed "baby seat" or on a tandem's seat, and "The operator shall not transport any person under the age of one year on said bicycle."
- Minnesota: "an adult bicycle operator may carry a child in a trailer or seat designed for carrying children that is securely attached to a bicycle".
- Pennsylvania: an adult rider may "transport a child in a pedalcycle child carrier which is securely attached to the pedalcycle or in a trailer".
- Rhode Island: the limit gives way "when transporting a child six (6) years of age or younger in a rear-mounted bicycle carrier and/or trailer" that meets ASTM's standards.
- Utah: "An adult rider may carry a child securely attached to the adult rider's person in a back pack or sling."
- Virginia: "an adult bicycle rider may carry a child less than six years old if such child is securely attached to the bicycle in a seat or trailer designed for carrying children".
- Wisconsin: a bicycle built for its operator alone "may be used to carry or transport a child seated in an auxiliary child’s seat or trailer designed for attachment to a bicycle".
Two more codes write a child rule that may not reach an e-bike. Connecticut lets an adult carry a child under four in "a back pack, sling or other similar device" only on "a bicycle propelled solely by foot or hand power".
North Carolina wants a passenger under 40 pounds or 40 inches tall "properly seated in and adequately secured to a restraining seat", in a part of its code that defines a bicycle as "a human-powered vehicle", while another part of the same chapter counts "an electric assisted bicycle" as a bicycle; which definition governs that rule is not settled in the sections we read.

The three seat states write it in their own words. California says a passenger rides "upon or astride a separate seat attached thereto"; Massachusetts asks for "a permanent and regular seat attached to the bicycle"; Maryland asks for "a seat securely attached to it for each passenger".
Breaking those rules costs money. In California a Vehicle Code violation "constitutes an infraction", and a first one is punished "by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100)", with "a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200)" for a second within a year. In Massachusetts a violation of the bicycle section "shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars".
Whether a long bench shared by two counts as a separate seat for each person is a question those codes do not answer in the sections we read. If you ride in California, Massachusetts or Maryland and want the plainest reading of the words, choose a passenger seat of its own: the SF20H's rear seat, the seat in Tesway's kit for the X5 AWD, X7 AWD and X7 PRO, or the Greattan L's belted seat.
California widens its rule on January 1, 2027: AB 1614, Chapter 40 of the 2026 statutes, approved on June 30, 2026, applies the seat rules of § 21204 on "a highway or a Class I bikeway", where until then they apply on a highway, and it takes effect under the state constitution "on January 1 next following a 90-day period from the date of enactment".
The machines over the e-bike line answer to a different set of rules: where a state's definition leaves them out, its vehicle code decides what they are, and the passenger rules come with that class. Our e-bike laws by state page goes through the definitions state by state, and some states have a page of their own, such as California, Massachusetts and Maryland.
Before you ride two-up Check your state's page for its passenger and helmet rules, and buy the separate passenger seat where your code asks for one.
How do you carry a passenger on an e-bike?
Put your passenger on a seat its maker built for one, give their feet a place, keep the two of you inside the load limit, and check your state's rule before the first ride.
The makers say it in their own words: Qiolor ships the Tiger Plus with "Extended seat + rear passenger footrests included", VTUVIA says the SF20H's "rear foot peg provides added comfort for passengers", and Addmotor writes that the Greattan L "comes equipped with a safety belt that ensures passenger safety".
The two-up checklist
- A seat built for a passenger. The maker's own page says the machine carries a second person; every card above quotes it.
- Somewhere for their feet. Footrests or foot pegs, as the Tiger Plus, the SF20H and the Soletan have; on a machine whose maker names neither, find where your passenger's feet will rest before the first ride.
- Both of you inside the limit. Sum both weights and anything you carry, and compare the sum with the maker's figure in the passenger table.
- Your state's rule. In 23 of the 29 jurisdictions in our law table, a bicycle carries only the riders it is designed or equipped for, and California, Massachusetts and Maryland ask for a seat for each passenger.
- A child's seat. In California a passenger "four years of age or younger, or weighs 40 pounds or less" rides in a seat that holds them in place; Massachusetts asks for a harnessed baby seat from one to four years, and Georgia carries a child under one only in a trailer or an infant sling (the child rules in ten codes).
- Helmets. The rules differ by state and by age, and your state's page has them.
If one line is a no, you have the wrong machine or the wrong route for two.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a two-seater electric bike?
Yes. This guide covers 17 we sell whose makers build them for a second rider, from the $899 Riding'times GT33 to the $3,899 Addmotor M-380 Tandem: six two-seaters inside the e-bike rules, six over them, two longtails and three trikes. For a 2 seater electric bike for adults inside the rules, start with the Qiolor NOVA or the Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0.
How much is a 2 seater electric bike?
The two-seaters you can order from us run from $899, the Riding'times GT33, to $3,899, the Addmotor M-380 Tandem, at our prices of November 14, 2026. In this guide, the two-seaters inside the e-bike rules run from $1,299 for the VTUVIA SF20H to $2,499 for the Qiolor Tiger Plus. Two-seat trikes start at $2,799.
What is a two seater bike called?
A bike where both riders pedal is a tandem; one where the passenger rides behind on a seat is a two-seater, a passenger bike or, in shop listings, a 2 person electric bike. Moped-style e-bikes with a long bench, longtail cargo bikes with a passenger seat, and trikes with a passenger seat all carry a second rider.
Can you have a passenger on an e-bike?
On one built for it, in most states, and for an adult passenger the maker's load limit has to cover you both. Of the 29 jurisdictions where a 750 W, 20 mph two-wheeler counts as an e-bike, 23 limit a bicycle to the riders it is designed or equipped for, and California, Massachusetts and Maryland require a seat for the passenger. Check your state's page before you ride.
Can two people fit on an electric bike?
On a two-seat electric bike, yes, inside its maker's load limit. Two average American adults weigh 370.8 lb, and 12 of the 17 machines in this guide carry that inside their maker's limit, such as the Qiolor NOVA at 450 lb and the Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 at 440 lb (the two-adults table).
What is the best two-seater electric bike under $1,000?
In this guide, the Riding'times GT33 at $899: an elongated seat its maker says supports passenger rides, and a 330 lb maximum load. It is over the e-bike line, with a 34 mph top speed, so it suits private land and a lighter passenger. Inside the e-bike rules, the least expensive two-seater in this guide is the $1,299 VTUVIA SF20H.
Can a two-passenger electric trike carry two adults within its stated load limit?
The Addmotor M-380 Tandem can: Addmotor gives up to 500 lb of its 550 lb to the two riders, so two average adults (370.8 lb) fit with 129.2 lb to spare (Addmotor's answer). The Soletri II lists 450 lb. The Greattan L's passenger seat takes about 150 lb, so it suits a lighter passenger.
Is there a tandem electric bike?
We sell one tandem, and it is a trike: the Addmotor M-380, whose "front and rear clutch systems operate separately, allowing one rider to rest or coast without affecting the other partner's pedaling". It is rated for 550 lb in total, 500 lb of it for the two riders, and costs $3,899.
Can you put a child seat on an electric bike?
Yes, on a rack built for one. Eunorau says the G30-CARGO's "long-tail rear rack supports optional child safety seats and handrails". VTUVIA answers yes for the SF20H (the folding e-bike question). California and Massachusetts require a seat that holds a child of 40 lb or less in place, and ten of the codes we read write a rule for a child.
What is the lightest e-bike for two people?
Of the weights the makers print, the VTUVIA SF20H's 60 lb, with its rack and fenders (VTUVIA's figure), is the lowest. Its 330 lb load limit suits a rider and a lighter passenger; for two average adults, the lightest by its maker's figure is the Addmotor Graoopro: "Weight 72 LBS" and a 450 lb payload.
What is the best e-bike that carries two adults under $3,000?
Inside the e-bike rules, the Qiolor NOVA at $1,599 (450 lb, a bench built for two) and the Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 at $1,614 (440 lb, a two-person saddle). With gears and full suspension, the Qiolor Tiger Plus at $2,499 (400 lb). On three wheels, the Addmotor Soletri II at $2,799 (450 lb listed).
Can you put a baby seat on an electric bike?
On a bike rated for it, in the seat your state allows. California wants a passenger "four years of age or younger, or weighs 40 pounds or less" in a seat that retains them; Massachusetts allows a child of one to four only in a harnessed baby seat or on a tandem's seat, and none under one; Georgia carries a child under one only in a trailer or an infant sling.
Can you put a child seat on a folding e-bike?
On the VTUVIA SF20H, yes. VTUVIA answers its own question, "Can it carry a passenger or child seat? Yes!", and adds that "The VTUVIA SF20H comes with a welded rear rack that supports up to 330 lbs, making it strong enough to safely mount a child seat."
How long is a tandem e-bike?
Our tandem, the Addmotor M-380, lists a "Total Length 96"" and a "Total Width 38.5"", and Addmotor answers that "This bike measures 8 feet in length and 3 feet in width." It does not fold down: Addmotor adds that it "does not break down for transport in a car".
Why buy a two-passenger e-bike?
Because the second person does not have to ride a bike of their own. A partner who does not cycle, a child or a parent rides with you, and there is one machine to charge and park. The trade is weight and length: by their makers' figures the 17 machines for two weigh from 60 lb to 154 lb (VTUVIA's figure for the SF20H, Addmotor's for the Greattan L), and the M-380 Tandem is eight feet long.
The bottom line
For two adults inside the e-bike rules, buy the Eunorau FLASH LITE 2.0 for $1,614; for a bench built for two, the Qiolor NOVA for $1,599. If you remember one number, make it 370.8 lb, two average US adults: a machine whose maker's figure sits under it is a bike for a rider and a lighter passenger.

Read the figures above with eight limits in view: where they come from, what the arithmetic assumes, and what would put them out of date.
- Every bike figure on the cards is the maker's own, read on its US store page on November 14, 2026, and quoted only where that page shows the words to a reader. A maker can change its page; the cards follow the page as we read it.
- The room arithmetic subtracts the CDC's measured averages for adults 20 and older, 199.0 lb for men and 171.8 lb for women, from its survey of August 2021 to August 2023. Your own pair can weigh more or less, and the same limit has to cover anything you carry.
- We read each load limit as the riders plus what they carry. Eunorau and Qiolor state that basis, and Addmotor does for the M-380, Soletri II, Greattan L and E-325; the other pages print the figure without saying what it counts. A limit that also counted the bike's own weight would leave less room than the tables show.
- Where a maker prints two figures for one thing, the card prints both: Tesway gives the X7 PRO's weight two ways, and Addmotor prints the Soletri II's load as 350+100 lb while answering that all 450 lb can be the rider's. Addmotor gives the Soletan's weight as 99 lb without its 13.2 lb pack and, in a post of April 21, 2025, as 83.8 lb; the Pennsylvania count follows the first.
- The state counts come from our census of the 50 states and the District of Columbia: the e-bike definitions read September 24, 2026, with Connecticut's change of October 1, 2026, and the passenger rules read in each code's own text between August 19 and October 2, 2026, five of them again on November 14, 2026. A machine whose maker publishes a speed limit you can raise is counted as it ships. Connecticut's rule for three wheels could not be read, so the trikes' counts leave Connecticut out, and Alabama, Montana, New Jersey and Rhode Island define an e-bike with a wheel count the trikes do not meet.
- Prices are our store's on November 14, 2026, and they move with sales; each card's button adds the variant its price names. Qiolor lists the NOVA as a pre-order on that date.
- The accessory kits and gifts named on the Tesway, Graoopro and Greattan L cards are the makers' current offers, which our listings pass on with the order; a maker can end an offer.
- What would age this page: a maker changing a figure or a model, a price change on our store, a state amending its e-bike definition or its passenger rule, and California's AB 1614, which takes effect on January 1, 2027.
