See How ENDGAME Reviews Addmotor E-310 Folding Electric Trike for Adventure
Hey guys, I've got a really exciting review I want to bring you today, and this is the Addmotor e-trike or electric trike. It has two wheels in the rear. What we're going to do is take it on a little adventure outside my house, where I have a series of walking and bicycling trails. If the occasion arises where I can find a camp spot, because I know some of these trails extend outside the city, we're going to try to set up camp. I'm going to show you guys the capabilities of this trike, talk about its features, and see where it goes. It'll be a fun little adventure to see what we can find.This right here is the Addmotor E-310 Citytri. It has a 750W electric motor and a differential system, so when you go around turns, you don't spin the wheels. It's got a 20 amp, 48-volt Samsung battery with Samsung cells. It's UL listed, so it's safe. There have historically been concerns with people using e-bikes and charging them, but this one is from a very well-known company with a very safe battery. It has a front non-adjustable suspension and no suspension in the rear, but the ride quality is actually very good. I attribute that to the fact that it has two tires in the rear.
A lot of people would ask, "Why an e-trike?" Well, there might be many reasons. They are cool, unique, and you certainly get a lot of attention riding around on one of these. But the big thing comes down to two things: cargo capacity and stability. The little basket in the rear has a stated capacity of 80 lbs. You can see that I've got a fair amount of gear in there—probably about 40 lbs. The other appeal is for those who don't feel confident or comfortable on a regular bicycle. With two wheels in the rear, you don't have to worry about a kickstand or balancing. We'll talk about it in the drive test, but it handles significantly differently than a bicycle.
If you have balance issues and don't feel confident on a bicycle, this e-trike won't tip over. It also has a very low saddle, about a foot off the ground, making it easy to step over and get on, even if you have a disability. This trike is primarily suited for city driving. It has smaller wheels, but it does fine on relatively flat, little dirt sections. It's not ideal for big rocks or holes, but for something smooth, this bike is totally doable.
Now let's talk about handling. If you turn too sharp, it can get a little wobbly. You have to lean into the turn. I'm riding with one hand and recording with the other. When you lean into the turn, you have better control. Gradual turns are better, and you won't be able to go through sharp turns as quickly as on a traditional bicycle. However, once you get used to it, turning isn't that bad. Just take it slow initially until you understand how it handles.
Handling is unique. The front suspension does well, and even though there's no rear suspension, the ride is pretty smooth. It feels like the pickup truck of e-bikes. It has a less sporty feel, but it feels more stable and commanding. It's a unique feeling, and I like it. I would compare it to driving a car versus a pickup truck. You can appreciate the benefits of both, and the cargo capacity is definitely a plus.
I love trains, so it's kind of funny. I went around a corner on a slower part of the back trail, and there were a bunch of mesquite trees hanging over. Like Sasquatch emerging from the woods, a homeless guy in camouflage came out of the bushes and scared me a little. We're all good, though. We're rolling through.
For those not familiar, let me give you a little primer on e-bikes. They have a battery and an electric motor. A trike usually has a sensor in the pedal section (P.S. Addmotor Citytri E-310 has a speed sensor for its pedal assist system), so when you pedal, it gives you an assist via the electric motor. Some have a throttle, which this one does, meaning you can twist the throttle, and it will move forward on its own. This particular trike has a 20 amp-hour battery with Samsung cells, providing a high-quality experience. Under ideal conditions, you can get up to a 90-mile range, but factors like rider weight, cargo, speed, and assist level can degrade the range.
This trike has pedals and a drive system, but it's a single-speed model. For most people, cruising at about 10 mph with the single speed is fine. If you twist the throttle, it can go up to about 20 mph. In my experience, the higher modes don't contribute much to pedaling.
We are at a decent overlook, but it's getting dark. My hopes for a better campsite have been dashed. I made it up this hill, but this trike is not an off-road machine. The rocks are pretty big. I walked beside it and used the throttle to get it up the hill.
Camping didn't work out for this trip, but I had a great time on this e-trike. In summary, this is a neat electric trike option. It's suited for people with disabilities or older individuals who feel less comfortable on traditional bicycles. The low saddle makes it easy to reach through. It's also great for carrying cargo. This trike also folds up, making it more compact for storage.
You know, even if you don't fall into one of those criteria—being not comfortable riding a traditional bicycle due to balance issues or wanting to carry a lot of cargo—this is still a really fun and great option. And I'll tell you this, you'll get a lot of attention. There aren't too many of these e-trikes out there. You see a few here and there, but every time you pass somebody, they always want to stop and check it out. So, links will be in the description. Thanks for watching, and hope to see you on the next adventure.
