Introduction
Addmotor’s newest addition: the GRANDTAN X electric trike takes things to the next level. The GRANDTAN X sets a new bar for comfort and safety thanks to its innovative features and trendsetting design.
One of the most striking changes in the GRANDTAN X is the full suspension setup. Along with that, it’s got multiple safety, ergonomic, and performance features that elevate it above the competition.
So whether you’re a commuter, bikepacker, or senior rider, the GRANDTAN X E Trike will always be a perfect fit. Don’t believe us? Here are 10 features that are sure to make you reconsider.
1. Upgraded 750W Rear Motor
The performance of the motor is always an important factor for electric tricycles. This is because the motor needs to provide enough power to support the rider, cargo, and the weight of the electric trike.
The GRANDTAN X is fully prepared thanks to the 750W rear-mounted hub motor. This motor can provide 90Nm of Torque with a peak power rating of 1,400W.
So whether that’s steep uphill climbs or stubborn unpaved roads, the GRANDTAN X has enough power to keep you moving forward.
Also, thanks to the rear-mounted design, the motor helps lower the center of gravity in the trike. This is an added safety feature that prevents the trike from tipping over.
2. UL 2271-Certified Samsung Battery Pack
In the case of electric trikes, the battery provides the “fuel” or power for the motor to do its job.
The Addmotor GRANDTAN X comes with the best eBike battery pack that’s UL 2271-certified to meet safety standards. It gives peace of mind and you don’t have to worry about fire or electrical damage when using it properly.
The battery is a 48V pack with 20Ah capacity. This gives it 960Wh of energy on a full charge.
The pack is assembled with Samsung’s 50E 21700 cells. These cells are one of the most reliable and long-lasting as they are rated for almost 1,500 charge cycles.
The battery pack enclosure is IPX6 water-resistant. It can withstand dust and water splashes under regular conditions. This means you don’t have to worry about riding in the rain or going through a few shallow puddles.
The battery pack is also removable. You can swap it out for a new battery pack or take it inside to recharge. The battery pack stays secure on the bike frame and you can lock it to avoid theft.
3. 85+ Miles of Range On a Single Charge
A safe and reliable battery is one thing but making it effective is another game altogether. This is where the Addmotor GRANDTAN X shines because it does a lot with one battery pack.
The motor, wiring harness, and the entire EB 2.0 electrical system are designed to be as efficient as possible. This helps you squeeze out every last bit of battery power into your range.
As a result, the GRANDTAN X is just as range-effective as its two-wheeled cousins. You get 85+ miles of range on a single charge at PAS Level 1.
So if your use cases are commuting, grocery store runs, or enjoying the city, the GRANDTAN X has more than enough range.
That said, if you’re bikepacking, touring, or delivering packages, you can still make it work with a spare battery and some extra tricks.
4. Full Suspension System for Increased Comfort and Stability
The GRANDTAN X is also one of the few electric trikes to come with full suspension. This means shock absorbers on the front and rear wheels as well.
Full suspension is an underrated feature in eTrikes. For starters, it minimizes vibrations and helps you ride comfortably without feeling every bump. A good suspension system will help you avoid injuries and keep the riding fun.
It also improves stability and prevents the trike from falling over. This is especially true when riding offroad. The rear suspension helps lower the center of gravity when one rear wheel rises more than the other.
5. Functional and Stylish EB 2.0 System
The entire Addmotor GRANDTAN X electrical system includes the latest EB 2.0 System. So everything from the display to the battery is designed to work perfectly with each other.
The EB 2.0 is an all-in-one integrated system that takes a holistic approach to improve the riding experience, safety, and performance. It doesn’t mix and match devices from different manufacturers. Everything in the EB 2.0 system is designed specifically for the capabilities of the GRANDTAN X.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the EB 2.0 is the same electrical system used in the UL 2849-certified Addmotor GAROOTAN electric bike.
6. Sturdy Trailer Tube For Extra Cargo
The Addmotor GRANDTAN X has a payload capacity of 450 lbs. This means 350 lbs for the rider and an extra 100 lbs on the rear rack.
However, that’s not all. The electric trike also has a strong trailer tube. You can hitch a trailer to the back and expand your cargo capacity.
So carrying gear on your bikepacking journey has never been easier. The Addmotor GRANDTAN X has you covered with a sturdy frame and enough power.
Speaking of storage, the GRANDTAN X also has a front basket and a rear rack with a complimentary waterproof bag. You don’t have to buy pannier bags or other accessories save for a trailer.
7. Ultra-Responsive Mid-Axis Torque Sensors
The GRANDTAN X comes with mid-axis torque sensors. These measure how hard you’re pedaling instead of counting the speed at which the pedals rotate.
Torque sensors gather more information about your riding experience. They can easily tell when you’re struggling or breezing through. Thanks to this, the motor controller can provide just the right amount of power.
This improves your riding experience. It provides a more natural boost and helps you get out of tight situations without too much effort.
8. Swan-Like Step-Through Frame for Easy Access
Besides power, safety, and reliability, the GRANDTAN X is also about accessibility. One of its prime features is the swan-inspired step-through frame with a low standover height of 17.5”.
The step-through frame allows the rider to easily mount and dismount the electric tricycle. It’s the ideal option for seniors and people with limited mobility.
The GRANDTAN X supports a wide height range of 5’2″-6 ‘4″. Any adult can easily get in and out. On top of that, they can ride it comfortably without feeling cramped or having to spread out too much.
9. Fully Adjustable Saddle and Footrest
Another couple of features that add to the accessibility are the adjustable saddle and footrest. With the GRANDTAN X, you don’t have any regular saddle. This one has a wide seat coupled with an ergonomic backrest.
The wide seat is well-padded and is comfortable for heavy riders. On top of that, the entire saddle is fully adjustable. You can customize the seat height, backrest height and even how forwards or backwards the backrest is from the saddle.
The wooden footrest is another underrated feature. It allows you to keep your feet off the pedals when you’re at a complete stop or when riding the throttle.
10. Parking Brake For Added Security
Another underrated safety feature on the GRANDTAN X is the parking brake. This is a simple mechanism that keeps the brake levers locked in.
This parking brake helps prevent the electric trike from rolling or slipping. You can easily engage this and leave the trike without any worries.
The parking brake is also effective on slopes and ramps. You just have to pull the brake lever and push the switch into place. It will keep the wheels locked until you release it again.
Other Notable Features
These are just ten of the best features available in the upcoming GRANDTAN X electric tricycle. Besides these, there are several other “honorable mentions” such as:
- 6061 Aluminum Frame: This is a strong yet lightweight material that keeps the entire trike at 127.9lbs but can support more than 450 lbs at high speeds.
- A Rear Differential: This system helps you make sharp turns easily without the rear wheels slipping or sliding. It improves safety, longevity and maximizes performance.
- Mechanical Disc Brakes with Motor Cutoff Sensor: These provide reliable stopping power in various weather conditions and terrain. Also, the cutoff sensor prevents the motor from accidentally starting up when the brakes are engaged.
- Rotatable U-Shaped Handlebars: Ergonomic design that allows riders to easily customize the handlebars to suit their height and arm reach.
Wrapping Up
The GRANDTAN X is Addmotor’s latest iteration of the sturdy and functional GRANDTAN lineup of electric trikes.
This new model is a full-suspension electric trike. Among other things, it has a UL 2271-certified battery pack and the same electrical system as the UL 2849-certified Addmotor GAROOTAN electric bike.
So if you’re looking for a high-end electric trike, look no further than the GRANDTAN X. It’s got everything you need from an electric tricycle and more.
