The step-through electric trike has emerged as a game-changer in the world of personal transportation. With its unique combination of stability, ease of use, and sustainability, it has become a popular choice for those seeking a convenient, eco-friendly mode of transport. Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or just exploring the outdoors, a step-through electric tricycle offers a fun and practical solution that is perfect for all ages and abilities.

But it all comes to the question of whether the e-trike is affordable enough considering all the other options in the market. Though the market is niche in some manner the best possible option for anyone to own a step-through trike is the Triketan M-330 fat tire trike.

The Triketan M-330 is a robust, functional adult electric tricycle that can carry up to 350 lbs of rider and goods in the front and back baskets that are provided. Heavy loads are easily carried thanks to the 750-watt hub motor and the extra-durable 7075 aluminum frame. The mechanical disc brakes and derailleur are from Tektro, and the integrated lights from Spanninga and Blazelite are brilliant and simple to use. The vertical riding position is pleasant and customizable for a wide variety of rider sizes, Kenda fat tires offer excellent grip and comfort, and a Mozo spring suspension fork. It is readily accessible owing to a step-through chassis with a low break-over angle height.

Derailleur is the entry-level option from Shimano which helps save cost while still being reliable, this is a pretty basic setup that has a range of 14-28 teeth across 7 speeds. This gets the job done for a trike where the shifting and pedaling range needs are lower than on a standard bicycle, and I appreciate the double-sided alloy chain guide that will keep the chain from jumping free, this is especially important on a trike since the chain is longer than standard.

The ride experience is quite comfortable thanks to the upright riding position, suspension fork, and fat tires. The MoZo fork is spring suspension and fairly basic with only 50mm of travel, but it pairs well with the Kenda Crusade Sport fat tires, these provide a great amount of cushion and you can also lower the pressure down as far as 5psi for riding on really bad terrain such as snow or sand.
Helping out on the comfort side of things is the Velo saddle which is wide, soft, and very comfy to sit on, plus the ergonomic grips that also feel nice. These grips aren’t locking, but the upright relaxed riding position and trike use case means that you aren’t going to be bearing down on the grips enough to get them to twist. Adjustable handlebar is an essential feature that can expand up to increase the more comfortable height for taller cyclists. You may elevate the handlebars by a respectable 180mm from the starting spot thanks to Addmotor's thoughtful consideration of the control cable length.

The combination of a 12-magnet cadence sensor and a twist throttle is one we see on many bikes, it’s a winning combination that keeps costs down while providing adequate performance, you can use the throttle when getting started to compensate for the delay inherent to all cadence-based sensor setups. The twist throttle has a kill switch and starts in the “off” state, it is appreciated regarding safety so that the fat tire electric tricycle won’t take off unexpectedly if you accidentally twist the throttle. One last note here, In contrast to other motorcycles that connect the throttle force to the current pedal help level, Addmotor customizes their bikes to have full tilt performance from any assist level.


Conclusion

The Addmotor electric trike is a powerful and stylish three-wheeled trike designed for both practical and recreational purposes. It is equipped with a 750W high-speed motor and a 48V lithium-ion battery that can take you up to 85 miles on a single charge. Its sturdy frame can support up to 450 lbs of weight, and the comfortable saddle and ergonomic handlebars ensure a smooth and comfortable riding experience. This electric trike is perfect for those who want to enjoy the benefits of an eco-friendly mode of transportation.
