The use of electric trikes for adults has made traveling and commuting more convenient, particularly now that a wide variety of different types of e-trikes are on the market to cater to the varying requirements of riders. The folding electric trike has become one of the most popular types of e-trikes due to its small design, which offers riders a variety of perks and has contributed to its popularity. Since then, several different manufacturers have presented their very own folding electric trike models since the initial launch.
Addmotor has just released the newest edition of its folding electric trike. It is loaded with the most cutting-edge and innovative features and components that are currently available, which enables it to give exceptional performance. It is said that the Addmotor E-310 folding electric trike is one of the best folding electric trike for adults on the market today. However, it will inevitably have to compete with the other folding electric trikes for adults that are now on the market. So let’s compare the newly launched Addmotor E-310 folding electric trike with one of the best e-trikes i.e. Lectric XP folding electric trike.
Electric motor
The electric motor is the most important part of a folding electric trike for riders to consider when making a buying decision. An e-trike’s ability to get the rider where they need to go quickly and efficiently is determined by the quality of its electric motor. Powerful 750 Watts electric motor offers 90Nm torque and peak motor power of 1400 watts, which is more than enough to deliver remarkable performance and acceleration on the recently released Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike. On the other hand, the Lectric XP folding electric trike boasts a 500-watt electric motor that generates 65Nm and 1092 watts of peak motor power. As a result of its superior motor power and peak wattage, the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike takes the lead in terms of electric motor.
Battery
The range of electric trikes for adults is somewhat determined by the capacity of their batteries. The battery life of the e-trike determines whether it is suitable for lengthy commutes, short journeys, or errands in between. The high capacity 48V*20 Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery in the recently released Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike provides a long range of 90 miles on a single charge. Alternatively, a single charge of the Lectric XP folding electric trike’s 48V*14 Ah lithium-ion battery will get you a range of up to 60 miles. Therefore, the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike is regarded as a better option than the Lectric XP folding electric trike in terms of battery capacity and range. UL certification by worldwide safety requirements is yet another feature that distinguishes the battery of the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike.
Brakes
When looking for a folding electric trike for yourself, you must select one that has effective braking mechanisms. This feature is essential for the safety of the riders and cannot be overlooked. Both of the electric trikes for adults come equipped with parking brakes. This feature enables the riders to park their folding electric trike anywhere they choose, regardless of whether it is on an incline or a surface that is slippery or wet, without worrying about the trike rolling away from its position. Aside from that, the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike comes equipped with Tektro mechanical disc brakes, which provide a reliable source of braking power and offer an effective and regulated stopping mechanism in any circumstance. On the other hand, the Lectric XP folding electric trike features front and rear hydraulic brakes, which are more effective than mechanical brakes and need only a small amount of effort to apply while stopping the e-trike.
Frame
The frame of the e-trike must be solid and sturdy if you want your folding electric trike to have a long lifespan and be worth the money you spend on it. The Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike, which has just recently been introduced to the market, is constructed with a sturdy and aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame that boasts exceptional levels of strength and rigidity and has low weight. The frame of the Lectric XP folding electric trike is made out of 6061 aluminum, which not only makes it lightweight but also makes it quite strong. The overall weight of this folding electric trike is only 69.5 pounds, while the new Addmotor E-310 folding electric trike is approximately 86 pounds; hence, the Lectric XP is one of the most lightweight e-trikes available for adults, as the manufacturer claims it to be. The Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike has a CNC laser cutting head tube, which gives it a more visually pleasing look than the Lectric XP, which has a pieced head tube.
Comfort and safety
Adult riders must have access to components that enhance their level of comfort when riding an e-trike. These features should include an adjustable and supportive seating posture, tires with the ideal width for the terrain, and other safety features. The Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike features a comfortable seat that is equipped with an adjustable backrest to provide the rider with full support. On the other hand, the original design of the Lectric XP folding electric trike includes a conventional seat tube; however, a comfortable seat is available as an optional upgrade for an additional cost.
In addition, the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike boasts an advanced lighting system that includes an integrated headlight and taillight, with the taillight providing numerous purposes that contribute to a safer ride. These functions include left and right turn signals, a brake light, a danger light, and a flashlight. While the Lectric XP folding electric trike features a headlight and taillight that are both built into the design, this does not compromise the nighttime riding experience in any way. When the two folding electric trikes for adults are compared, it is clear that the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike offers a more secure ride as a result of its advanced lighting system, which serves multiple purposes and is very energy efficient.
Both of these models of folding electric trikes for adults provide cutting-edge features and components that make them attractive choices in today’s market. Both folding e-trikes are compact and convenient, but the Addmotor Citytri E-310 folding electric trike has several unique advantages that put it ahead of the competition.
