EL MONTE, Calif., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As a leader in e-trike innovation and the brand with the widest selection of electric trikes in the U.S., Addmotor is proud to announce the launch of its 2025 Electric Trike series, designed to enhance mobility and expand consumer choices in eco-friendly transportation.

The 2025 lineup, which includes the Citytan Folding, SpytanX Reverse, Greattan D Fat Tire, M-380 Tandem models, and Addmotor customized accessories, offers unparalleled versatility, meeting the needs of urban commuters, families, and golf enthusiasts alike. With a focus on cutting-edge design, advanced technology, and user-centric features, Addmotor continues to redefine the future of electric mobility.

Citytan – Foldable e-Trike

Citytan redefines the concept of the most affordable electric folding trike. With its entire frame composed of aluminum, the Citytan offers improved durability and minimizes the risk of frame distortion, ensuring a safe and long-lasting ride. Its foldable step-through frame and handlebar stem make it incredibly easy to store in tight spaces such as cars, RVs, or any area with limited room, enhancing portability for riders on the go.

Compared to the Addmotor Citytri, which is equipped with city tires, the Citytan comes with wider 3-inch mini fat tires, offering more tire surface area for improved stability and versatility across different terrains. Whether you’re navigating city streets or taking light uneven paths, these tires ensure a smoother, more secure ride.

The 14.1-inch low step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting effortless, catering to adults of all fitness levels. With its user-friendly design and ease of use, the Citytan is perfect for those seeking both comfort and practicality.

Priced at $1,699, the Citytan becomes even more accessible with a $300 pre-sale discount, bringing the limited-time price down to just $1,399—proving that a high-quality e-trike doesn’t have to break the bank.

Addmotor also offers the Non-Electric Citytan M-315 Traditional Trike, originally priced at $699, now available for pre-order at just $499, saving you $200. This trike provides many of the same benefits as the Citytan E-Trike, including a lightweight, folding all-aluminum frame, wide 3-inch tires, and low step-through design, to name a few. It’s an affordable option for those who prefer a more traditional, non-electric experience.

SpytanX – Reverse e-Trike

SpytanX is designed with golf lovers and pet lovers in mind, offering a fresh and convenient way to navigate the golf course or daily rides. Powered by a 750W motor and a 960Wh UL 2271 certified battery, this e-trike delivers both power and reliability, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on and off the course. Its dual front-wheel layout enhances stability, while providing a spacious front basket that’s perfect for carrying groceries, pet carriers, or personal items. Riders can easily keep their belongings and pets in view without the need to constantly look back, improving safety and allowing for more interaction with your furry companions.

To cater to golf enthusiasts, Addmotor has specially designed SpytanX with a stand front rack that can hold a golf bag. Now, you can enjoy your game without any distractions, knowing that your gear is securely in place. 

With its upgraded front suspension and an advanced 16-connecting-rod steering system, the SpytanX delivers an unmatched riding experience, making it the perfect choice for those seeking the pinnacle of reverse tricycle performance.

M-380 – Tandem E-Trike

The M-380 Tandem E-Trike is built for shared exploration, transforming the way two riders experience the joy of cycling together. Featuring two comfortable seats—the rear seat with a supportive backrest—and pedals, this electric trike allows both riders to actively participate in pedaling, unlike traditional passenger e-trikes.

What sets the M-380 apart is its advanced drivetrain system, which enables the front and rear riders to control their own pedals independently. The rear seat is even suitable for riders with disabilities or children, providing extra comfort and ease for those who might find it difficult to ride independently. This design ensures that riders of different fitness levels can enjoy the ride together—faster riders don’t need to wait for slower riders, and slower riders won’t feel the strain of trying to keep up. Each rider can enjoy the joy of cycling at their own pace, creating a truly cooperative cycling experience. 

Plus, M-380 trike includes a torque sensor on the front pedal-assist system, enabling the front rider to adjust the motor’s power based on pedaling force. This feature makes the ride more responsive, efficient, and in control, enhancing the overall enjoyment.

The optional dual-battery system enhances the M-380’s performance and range, giving riders the flexibility to choose between a single or dual-battery configuration to best suit their needs. Whether cruising through the city or embarking on a longer adventure, the M-380 offers the power you need. Its 38.5-inch widened rear track enhances stability, reducing the risk of tipping, especially with its elongated trike frame. Paired with a 750W motor, the M-380 can support up to 500 lbs of combined rider and cargo weight, making it a reliable option for various needs.

With these thoughtful features, the M-380 Tandem E-Trike is the perfect solution for sharing the ride—whether for an additional disabled rider, a child, or anyone who enjoys exploring together, all while benefiting from the best in modern e-trike technology.

Greattan D – Fat Tire & Cargo E-Trike

Greattan D is the ultimate multi-purpose cargo e-trike, designed to redefine the versatility of fat tire electric trikes. Built for heavy-duty tasks, this e-trike features 7-inch rear fat tires that not only provide superior traction on both smooth city streets and rough, uneven terrains but also offer remarkable load-bearing capacity. These robust tires can support heavy weight without compromising stability or performance.

Capable of supporting up to 500 lbs of total weight, the Greattan D is a solid e-trike for transporting heavy items. Its extra-large rear cargo basket, with a capacity of up to 150 lbs, is perfect for work equipment, groceries, or camping gear. To ensure this impressive payload capacity is met with reliable durability, the rear axle is 25% thicker than other models on the market and has been reinforced to prevent damage during transport.

The performance of the Greattan D is equally as impressive. Powered by a 750W rear-drive motor and an optional dual-battery system, it easily conquers challenging terrains and heavy loads. Whether you’re tackling long-distance journeys or managing daily heavy-duty errands, the Greattan D offers the power and range you need to go the distance without worrying about running out of energy.
