Addmotor recently announced the newest iteration of GRANDTAN electric tricycles. It’s the GRANDTAN X and comes with several improvements.
One of the most standout features is the full suspension system. The rear wheels now have coil spring shock absorbers for extra stability.
But that’s not all. The GRANDTAN X electric trike improves in ergonomics, safety, performance, and more. So be sure to keep reading and learn all the features it has to offer.
Ride Comfortably Everywhere You Go
The GRANDTAN X is now a full-suspension electric trike thanks to the rear coil springs. It improves the riding experience by 50% and makes the electric trike more accessible.
This means you can ride for long periods and go through unpaved roads and light off-road areas.
So whether that’s seniors, heavy riders, or adults with limited mobility, anybody can ride comfortably on the GRANDTAN X.
Maintains Safety and Minimizes Injuries
The GRANDTAN X does all this while minimizing the risks of bicycle-related injuries such as knee pain and back pain.
The rear suspension also improves safety significantly. It helps keep the trike grounded when going through uneven terrain. This reduces the chances of flipping as the springs compress to keep the rear wheels level.
Adjust the Saddle to Fit Your Height
Addmotor GRANDTAN lineup of electric trikes are well-known for their comfort and stability. One of the main reasons for this is the wide saddle and adjustable backrest.
The saddle can seem heavy and wide compared to road bikes and regular two-wheelers. However, because of the wide cushioning, it’s much more comfortable.
The wide seat spreads out the pressure from your glutes. This means it helps prevent injuries such as saddle sores, irritation, and pain in your sit bones.
Besides, the seat has extra thick padding to absorb unnecessary vibrations. The thick cushioning keeps the rider secure and prevents them from bumping around when the trike goes through rocky and uneven terrain.
Adjustable Backrest
One of many underrated features in Addmotor electric trikes is the adjustable backrest. This takes things to a whole new level as you can now enjoy the ride without straining your back.
Most long-distance backpackers swear by this. It keeps them comfortable for hours and puts a stop to back pain and other issues. It’s also a favorite among senior riders as they definitely need one to keep them safe and stable.
Also, the backrest height is fully adjustable. You can lower it to add more lumbar support or raise it to keep you alert and focused on the road.
Whatever the case, you get to experiment and find what fits you.
Rest Your Feet Whenever You Need
Ergonomic seating and stress-free suspension are just the tip of the iceberg. With the GRANDTAN X, you also have several other features that make it a true game-changer for comfort and accessibility.
Pedal Assist Combined with Throttle Controls
For starters, the GRANDTAN X comes with both PAS (pedal-assist) and throttle controls. This means you can ride without even having to touch the pedals at all. Just twist the throttle and the trike will take off.
So if you’re looking for a moped, mobility scooter, or high-capacity adult tricycle, the GRANDTAN X has you covered. You can instantly switch back and forth between PAS and throttle as you need to. All it takes is a short twist.
Step-Through Frame With a Wooden Footrest
Besides that, the GRANDTAN X has a swan-inspired step-through frame. It’s stylish and accessible, making it easy for anybody to get in and out.
The standover height is only 17.5” so it’s a great option for seniors and people with limited mobility. You don’t have to lift your feet too high to start riding.
Also, you can easily put your feet up on the footrest whenever you’re at a red light or need to take a break from pedaling. It’s much better than balancing your feet on the pedal.
Rotatable Handlebars To Find the Most Comfortable Position
With the U-shaped rotatable handlebars, you have a lot of freedom to adjust the GRANDTAN X as you see fit.
So if you’re a tall rider, you can rotate the handlebars away from you. It will give you room to stretch your arms so they don’t get stiff from riding.
Meanwhile, you can do the opposite if the handlebars are out of reach. You can bring them closer and ride comfortably without straining your neck and arms.
The GRANDTAN X is designed to fit most riders that fall into the height range of 5’2″-6 ‘4″. But even if you’re a few inches beyond this range, you can still adjust a few things and find a comfortable fit.
85+ Miles of Range For All-Day Riding
Most newbies think electric trikes have a ridiculously low range compared to two-wheeled eBikes. But, that’s not the case.
For the GRANDTAN X, the battery provides more than 85 miles on a single charge (at PAS Level 1).
So it has enough range for commuting, running errands, and even long-distance touring. Besides, if you have worries about running out, you can always carry a spare battery and use certain techniques to improve your range.
Torque Sensors and the EB 2.0 System
There are several reasons why the range is higher in the GRANDTAN X. This is because it has a UL 2849-recognized EB 2.0 electrical system along with mid-axis torque sensors.
These improve efficiency as the sensors give a highly accurate reading of your pedaling efforts. On top of that, the EB 2.0 system minimizes energy wastage and ensures the power from the battery goes directly into the motor.
UL2271-Certified Battery For Peace of Mind
The GRANDTAN X also comes with a UL2271-certified EB 2.0 battery pack. This is important because it ensures the battery has passed UL tests against safety and stability.
Safety Aspects of the EB 2.0 Battery
This means the battery pack has almost zero chance of creating a fire or damaging the internal electronics in your electric tricycle. It has safety measures against short-circuiting, overheating, and other hazardous conditions.
The pack is assembled with high-quality Samsung cells. These are durable Li-Ion cells that have 1,000-1,500 charge cycles with high current output.
The safety circuits are built into the battery pack and housed inside a water-resistant enclosure. You can easily remove the battery whenever you want and lock it into the bike using a special key.
So with the GRANDTAN X, you can ride anywhere without any worries. This electric tricycle can handle heavy rains and muddy and dusty offroad terrain with no problem.
750W of Power To Push You Forward
An electric tricycle like the GRANDTAN X tends to be heavier than two-wheeled eBikes. Besides, they need to be able to push heavy riders and seniors up steep hills and trudge through harsh winds, and muddy roads.
Power VS Torque
So you need a motor that has a lot of power and torque. This means giving out a huge amount of power in short bursts and keeping the momentum going for hours on end.
This is why the GRANDTAN X comes with a 750W rear-mounted hub motor. It can push out 750W continuously and also top out at 1,400W with a max torque of 90Nm. This will help you get out of a tight situation and keep the trike at full speed no matter where you go.
Minimizing the Chances of Tipping Over
Trikes rarely tip or fall over and when they do, it’s because the rider was going too fast or making a dangerously sharp turn.
Regardless, the GRANDTAN X is designed to prevent tipping as much as possible thanks to the motor placement and the rear differential.
In the GRANDTAN X, the motor is centered between the two rear wheels i.e. the heaviest part of the electric tricycle. This lowers the center of gravity and prevents the trike from tipping over.
So if you want a powerful motor that can haul hundreds of pounds of cargo or heavy riders, the Addmotor GRANDTAN X is the one for you.
Carry Hundreds of Pounds of Cargo
If you’re delivering packages, bike-packing, or hoping to ditch your car, the GRANDTAN X can be a worthwhile investment.
This is because it has a large payload capacity of 450 lbs and several accessories that make it easier to haul a lot of cargo.
Front and Rear Racks
For starters, the GRANDTAN X has two storage racks: a small one in the front and a larger one in the rear. In these, you can add more than 100 lbs of cargo and still ride with relative ease.
Bundled with these, you get a free storage bag specifically designed to fit the rear rack. It’s waterproof, has enough space, and is lined with reflective strips to improve visibility.
Also, it’s only fitted with straps so you can easily take it out when you don’t need it.
Trailer Tube
Other than that, you can also drag a trailer behind the GRANDTAN X. It has a strong trailer tube that supports a kid’s or cargo trailer.
There’s nothing fancy about it. You just hook it up with a carabiner and you’re good to go.
Wrapping Up
The GRANDTAN X has dozens of features that easily make it one of the most versatile electric trikes on the market. It helps the everyday rider and people with limited mobility enjoy eBiking and get more done.
The most impressive feature is the full-suspension setup. This, coupled with the ergonomic saddle and handlebars will improve your experience. On top of that, small features such as the parking brake, rear differential, and torque sensors add to the safety and riding experience. So if you’re looking for the most versatile and comfortable electric tricycle be sure to preorder the GRANDTAN X.
