Introduction
With an electric trike, it’s always about the journey and not the destination. Unlike a car or public transportation, you have the option to take it slow and ride at your own pace.
On top of that, you get to bring your family along and create memorable experiences along the way.
So if you’re looking for the next outdoor adventure for you and your loved ones, consider switching to eBikes and eTrikes. They will help you get more physical activity while enjoying the outdoors, and each other’s company.
At Addmotor, the lineup of electric trikes has several models that cater to families hoping to make the best use of their family time.
So, do you want to know how you can bring back family fun with eTrikes? Be sure to keep reading.
How Addmotor Electric Trikes Can Enhance Outdoor Family Activities
Electric trikes provide a host of benefits that you wouldn’t get from a car or push bicycle. They are more economical than a car and require considerably less effort than a two-wheeler bicycle.
Besides, you also get the best of both worlds. You have the convenience and added safety of a car along with the chance to enjoy the outdoors and get some physical activity.
But these are just the benefits you get when riding alone. When you have an extra passenger or family and friends riding alongside you, things get more fun and interesting.
So here are some of the ways that riding an electric trike can improve your outdoor get-togethers and activities:
Keeps Things Fun and Engaging for the Entire Family
Whether that’s kids, seniors, or adults with limited mobility, anybody can easily ride electric trikes. What’s more, they can keep up with the rest of the pack and enjoy the outdoors just as effectively.
This is thanks to the self-balancing design of the trikes and the electrical assist. Unlike two-wheelers, you don’t have to worry about balancing yourself on an eTrike. The third wheel handles this for you.
Also, because of the flexibility provided by the electrical assist, nobody gets left behind. Riders with limited mobility can rely more, or even entirely, on the motor to push them forward. Meanwhile, others can tone down the electrical assistance and get more physical activity.
As such, electric trikes help create an experience that’s fun for the whole family, regardless of age and fitness levels.
Allows You To Do More, Carry More and Ride For Longer
At Addmotor, most eTrikes guarantee a range of 85+ miles on a single charge (at Pedal Assist Level 1). This, coupled with the high payload capacity of 380 lbs – 500 lbs, makes Addmotor etrikes an absolute powerhouse for daily use.
Electric trikes take up less space than a car but can carry more stuff than a regular eBike. This makes eTrikes the best option for family members going out on picnics, fishing trips, grocery runs, or even their daily commutes.
Also, some eTrikes feature a strong trailer tube and space for an extra passenger. The possibilities are endless as you can transport your loved ones and everything you need to enjoy the outdoors.
Minimizes Injuries and Keeps You Comfortable Every Time
From ergonomic saddles, to manual parking brakes, Addmotor eTrikes are the pinnacle of safe and stress-free riding. They come with dozens of features that go the extra mile to keep you safe and comfortable.
For starters, the eTrike is designed to prevent flipping over as much as possible. Everything from the position of the motor to the rear differential is designed to create a low center of gravity.
So even if you ride up steep hills or make sharp hairpin turns, Addmotor trikes will never flip over, especially if you’re careful.
Also, Addmotor eTrikes come with ergonomic saddles, and high-end suspension to keep you and your loved ones riding high.
The Best Addmotor Electric Trikes for Outdoor Family Fun
Practically, you can use any Addmotor eTrike to have fun. They are all designed to be comfortable and accessible for adults with various physical builds and fitness levels.
But, if you’re looking for an eTrike that can seat a passenger comfortably, look no further than the Addmotor SOLETRI banana seat electric trike and GREATTAN L. Both are amazing options for outdoor fun and will help you take on an extra passenger anywhere you go.
That said, the SOLETRI and GREATTAN L are designed differently to fit certain use cases and scenarios.
For instance, the SOLETRI features a banana seat and full suspension. This makes it the best electric trike for light off-roading and riding at higher speeds.
Meanwhile, the GREATTAN L passenger e trike features a spacious and separate passenger seat. It’s much more comfortable, and better suited for long-distance adventures on smooth roads.
Besides these, you can also pick between several other models that will help you ride alone or carry more cargo. These include:
- ARISETAN II M-360 E Trike: For adults and seniors who prefer a more “laid back” approach to eBiking
- TRIKETAN M-330F Folding E Trike: The most well-rounded and urban-friendly eTrike for adults.
- GRANDTAN X Full Suspension Trike: Maximizing comfort and stability. Now with full suspension.
- SPYTAN Trike: Front-positioned double-wheel eTrike with a front-loader-style cargo rack and foldable frame.
The Best Features of the GREATTAN L
The GREATTAN L is one of the few Addmotor electric trikes that make it the best for two-person family adventures.
Here are some of its standout features that will make you consider purchasing one for everyday use:
Dual Battery Setup
The GREATTAN is Addmotor’s first-ever electric tricycle to feature connection points for two battery packs. It has an integrated compartment inside the down tube and an external terminal right under the seat post.
So with these two connection points, you can plug in two Addmotor 960Wh batteries for twice the range and twice the fun. Unlike other trikes, it has an extended range of 130+ miles (with both batteries on full charge).
What’s more, you can easily remove the batteries from both connection points. You don’t have to bring the charger to the eBike.
Dedicated Passenger Seat with Backrest and Footrest
The second-most innovative feature on the GREATTAN L is the separate passenger seat.
Your loved ones can ride comfortably and spaciously in the back while you also have your own ergonomic saddle. There’s no need to fight for space on a single banana seat.
All the Good Things About The SOLETRI
The GREATTAN L has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. However, it’s better used for carrying passengers in urban environments where the roads are smooth and even.
But, if you’re hoping to do a little bit off-roading, like cruising down the beach or bike trail with family, the SOLETRI is a better option. Here’s why:
Full Suspension System
The SOLETRI can provide a more comfortable and injury-free riding experience thanks to its full suspension setup.
It’s full suspension because, unlike other models which only feature a front fork, the SOLETRI has dual shock absorbers on the rear wheels as well.
This subtle change makes a world of difference for rider safety and comfort, especially when riding unpaved roads. It minimizes impacts and vibrations while keeping the trike level and closer to the ground.
So if you do a lot of picnics, fishing, and camping off the beaten path, the SOLETRI does much better.
Outdoor Adventures With Your Family: Best Activities
An electric trike can make your regular outings with family fun and more engaging. However, if you’re looking for something new to do and put your electric trikes to the test, here are a few recommendations:
- Take a Normal Road Trip Through the City: If you don’t know where to start, the best place is to go out and explore your immediate surroundings. So if you live in the city, you can ride around with kids and spouses to visit landmarks around the city.
- Do Some Shopping or Eating Out: If the prospect of just riding around doesn’t appeal to your family, maybe get them excited to do some shopping or visit a restaurant. Kids love shopping and eating out, so it will give them the motivation they need to start riding.
- Head to the Beach, Lake, or Park: A good alternative to shopping and eating out is to get your family excited about outdoor activities. You can also plan activities such as fishing, swimming, and picnics as a subsequent reward.
- Try Camping or Bikepacking: If your family already loves eBiking and wouldn’t mind riding long distances, you can plan a camping trip. However, be sure to pack essential supplies and find family-friendly spots if you plan to stay the night.
These are just a few options so don’t be afraid to switch things up and combine activities that everybody loves to do. In any case, be sure to stick together and follow the rules of the road.
Planning Family-Friendly Activities: Some Extra Tips
Here are a few things you need to be mindful of when planning a day out with your family:
- Plan Out the Route and Stops: Always keep a destination in mind when you’re riding. Plan stops in between and make sure you ride as a group and at a pace that everybody can keep up with.
- Pack Essential Supplies and Emergency Aid: Don’t forget to pack first-aid, repair kits, snacks, and enough water for the entire family. As long as you think of everything and plan ahead, you will have a relatively stress-free riding experience.
- Keep the Bikes Well-Maintained: It’s important to check the brakes, tires, and battery levels before you start riding. Make sure to get your eTrike serviced or repaired days in advance so you won’t run into any problems.
- Follow the Rules of the Road: Ride slowly and together as a group. Be sure to respect traffic, maintain visibility, and use turn signals whenever necessary.
- Listen to Your Bike, and Your Body: Don’t try to push yourself and others too hard when riding. Take frequent breaks and stay hydrated. Also, if your etrikes start making weird noises or controls differently, be sure to stop and check if anything’s wrong.
Wrapping Up
Electric trikes can be a game-changer for outdoor family activities. This is because they are much more economical than a car but safer than two-wheeled bicycles.
There are different types of eTrikes for family-friendly activities. However, Addmotor recommends the GREATTAN L or the SOLETRI. These have extra space for passengers so you can make room for a sibling, spouse, or child without them having to ride on their own.
So if you’re looking for eTrikes that are safe for families, look for the GREATTAN L or the SOLETRI. They will make a ton of difference and help you create cherishable memories with your family members.
