New 750W Upgrade Expands the Horizons of Addmotor's Citytan M-315 Folding eTrike

The rise of electric mobility has made electric tricycles for adults an increasingly popular choice among American riders. Compared to traditional two-wheeled e-bikes, the three-wheel configuration delivers superior stability and a greater sense of security—whether for daily commuting, leisure rides, or hauling cargo, it handles the task with added confidence.

As a well-established name in the category, Addmotor's Citytan M-315 folding electric trike has long been appreciated for its compact foldability, low-step frame, and comfortable ride quality. In 2026, to meet growing demand for more versatile riding scenarios, Addmotor has officially introduced an all-new 750W rear-drive motor version, bringing the performance of this model line to an entirely new level.

This upgrade is more than just a power bump—it is an expansion of the trike's capability across diverse terrains. It delivers the extra torque and climbing confidence that riders seeking heavier loads and steeper grades have been looking for. Currently, both the classic 500W version and the brand-new 750W version are available side by side, offering flexible choices for different riding environments. That said, the new 750W model is undoubtedly the centerpiece leading this series into the future.

I. All-New 750W Motor: Built for Steep Climbs, Heavy Loads, and Varied Terrain

The upgraded Citytan M-315 is powered by a robust 750W rear-drive motor, reaching a peak output of 1400W. This new powertrain strikes an ideal balance between speed and torque, giving this foldable electric trike a significantly enhanced level of adaptability when faced with challenging road conditions.

Conquering Steep Grades and Mixed Surfaces: Compared to flat-terrain riding, the new 750W version delivers noticeably superior climbing performance. Whether it's steep bridges, elevated freeway on-ramps in the city, or rolling hills in the suburbs, the upgraded high-torque output allows riders to tackle inclines with ease—without worrying about stalling or losing momentum.

Handling Heavy Loads with Confidence: The model offers a rated payload capacity of 230 lbs (rider) + 80 lbs (rear rack). When the rear rack is loaded with daily groceries, gardening tools, or outdoor gear, the 750W motor provides steady, reliable drive power during starts and uphill sections, ensuring a smooth ride even under weight.

Expanding Your Riding Radius: With ample power paired with 20" × 3.0" stable tires, this folding electric tricycle stretches its range of activity far beyond flat urban neighborhoods—into park gravel paths, grassy fields, and suburban leisure trails, unlocking a more diverse and enjoyable riding lifestyle.

While the new 750W model takes center stage as the performance benchmark, the currently available 500W rear-drive version (peak 1100W) serves as a practical, lightweight option for riders who primarily commute in flat communities and prefer a basic configuration. For those looking to make a long-term investment and tackle a wider variety of terrain with peace of mind, the new 750W version stands out as the ideal match for those demanding environments.

II. Built-In Convenience: Foldability and User-Friendly Design Carry Over

Outstanding Portability: More power doesn't mean less practicality. The 750W Citytan M-315 retains its excellent folding design, with folded dimensions of just 41.3" L × 43.3" W × 45.3" H. Riders can easily store it in a car trunk, SUV cargo area, or RV compartment—making it an ideal companion for camping trips and outdoor adventures.

Easy Step-Through Accessibility: The frame is constructed from 6061 aluminum alloy and features a low standover height of just 14.1", making mounting and dismounting remarkably simple. This thoughtful design not only suits average adults but also makes it an ideal folding electric trike for seniors or those with limited mobility.

Range and Ride Comfort: Equipped with a 48V 13.5Ah lithium battery, the trike offers an estimated 50-mile range under 5-level pedal assist. Meanwhile, the standard ADDSHOX oil-spring suspension fork and spring saddle work together to absorb road bumps effectively, providing a smooth, stable, and comfortable riding experience.

While the new 750W model takes center stage as the performance benchmark, the currently available 500W rear-drive version (peak 1100W) serves as a practical, lightweight option for riders who primarily commute in flat communities and prefer a basic configuration. For those looking to make a long-term investment and tackle a wider variety of terrain with peace of mind, the new 750W version stands out as the ideal match for those demanding environments.

III. Comprehensive Safety and Confident Handling

Reliable Braking: To match the capable powertrain (top speed 20 MPH), the Citytan M-315 is equipped with mechanical disc brakes on each wheel, along with a practical parking brake function, ensuring safe and secure stops in any situation.

Stable Cornering with Differential: The folding etrike features a built-in differential, which automatically adjusts the rotational speed of the two rear wheels during turns. Even on wet pavement or tighter curves, this design significantly enhances handling stability—greatly improving the overall safety of this foldable electric tricycle for adults.

Intuitive Controls and Illumination: A compact display provides clear ride data at a glance. The foldable electric trike comes with a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain and a responsive 1/2 twist throttle for precise speed control. The 48V LED front and rear lights, powered directly by the main battery, offer excellent visibility for nighttime riding.

Whether you're looking for an adult e-trike that handles hilly terrain with ease, or a dependable commuter that can carry heavy loads, the new 750W Addmotor Citytan M-315 delivers a compelling solution with its enhanced torque and expanded real-world versatility.
