Summary of the AddMotoR MOTAN M-350 Review

AddMotoR MOTAN M-350 trike. If you’re taking a break from your daily routine, this is the perfect time to dive into a review of a unique and fun electric bike. Picture this: you’re out on a scenic trail, surrounded by nature with not a soul in sight. That’s the experience I had while testing the MOTAN M-350 trike, and let me tell you, it’s been an absolute blast.

This trike is powered by a robust 500-watt motor located in the front, giving it a surprising punch. The suspension system, coupled with four-inch-wide fat tires (24 inches in the front, 20 inches in the back), makes for an incredibly smooth ride. Wherever you go, this bike turns heads, drawing curious glances and questions from bystanders.

The AddMotoR is a direct-order brand, meaning you won’t find these bikes in physical stores, but the upside is a better price point—this model is priced at $2,599. While there are perks like cost savings, potential downsides exist, such as possible communication challenges with the company and assembling the bike yourself. The MOTAN M-350 is one of the more complex models to assemble, with a sizable package that might require assistance to move.

Riding the trike is an experience like no other. Its stability is decent but requires careful weight shifting on turns to avoid tipping over. The motor is quite peppy, delivering more power than its 500-watt rating suggests, with a characteristic loud whirring noise at higher speeds. Fortunately, the wide tires provide plenty of traction, minimizing the risk of slippage.

The trike is equipped with entry-level mechanical disc brakes, effective enough for the bike’s weight, but caution is advised when fully loaded. Despite the quirks, the bike’s motor inhibitors are a great safety feature, cutting power when the brakes are applied.

With a Shimano Altus derailleur, the trike offers smooth shifting across its seven-speed range, allowing a top speed of 20 mph, adjustable up to 25 mph. The 12-magnet cadence sensor provides decent responsiveness, though the twist throttle has some limitations.

Storage and comfort are other key features. The rear cargo rack, with a 350-pound capacity, offers ample space for carrying groceries, beach gear, or even a small pet. The suspension—80mm in the front and 30mm in the seat post—ensures a comfortable ride over bumps and rough terrain.

The bike’s design, with its mid-step frame, makes mounting easy, and the adjustable stem allows for a custom fit. The 48V 10.4Ah battery provides sufficient range for casual outings, and its easy removal adds convenience.

Though it’s not perfect—think minor gripes like the non-locking grips and an unconnected taillight—the MOTAN M-350 trike is a fun, approachable ride. Whether you’re looking for an off-road adventure, a trip to the beach, or a casual cruise, this trike delivers plenty of smiles and utility. Just imagine yourself cruising with your pet in the back and enjoying the day!
