Addmotor Unveils 2026 Electric Trike Lineup: Freetan and UTrike Series

EL MONTE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As a pioneer in electric trike innovation and the brand offering the broadest selection of electric tricycles in the U.S., Addmotor announces the latest evolution of its 2026 product lineup, debuting the Freetan semi‑recumbent series, the UTrike tilting series, and the Freetri semi‑recumbent folding e‑trike. All new models feature the company's in‑house electronic systems and engineering tailored to deliver superior comfort and riding ease.

Freetan Series: Full-Suspension Recumbent E-Trike for Comfort

Freetan

Designed to transform everyday mobility into a comfortable and liberating experience, the Freetan is a full‑suspension semi‑recumbent electric trike that empowers green travel and riders of all abilities. Introduced earlier this year, the model has quickly struck a chord with the market, driven by its human-centric design, performance characteristics, and comfort.

Built around a 6061 aluminum alloy integrated main frame architecture, the Freetan integrates a steel gear‑mesh universal‑joint steering system that mechanically decouples steering input from suspension travel, preserving a near‑vertical fork angle for precise handling. Performance relies on a 750W rear‑drive motor governed by the EB2.0 intelligent platform and a high‑precision torque sensor, while a vibration‑resistant Xuanwu 48V 20Ah full‑potting battery and an adjustable 90°–170° reclining backrest sustain long‑duration comfort. Supported by an 80mm front fork and dual rear shocks to effectively absorb road impacts, the platform maintains stability across varied riding environments.

Designed for diverse real‑world use, the Freetan supports rehabilitation training, daily commuting, fitness riding, stable cruising, touring, and zero‑emission mobility. Its semi-recumbent geometry and low step-through structure provide secure, ergonomic support tailored to diverse user groups:

• Seniors & Balance-Challenged Riders: Offering absolute stability and confidence through a low-center-of-gravity three-wheel layout.
• Mobility Recovery & Limited Flexibility: Providing safe, stress-free support for post-surgery users or those with restricted joint mobility.
• Desk Workers: Relieving lumbar and neck strain caused by prolonged sitting.
• Health-Conscious & Quality-Driven Enthusiasts: Blending active fitness riding with smooth, long-distance touring.

Freetan Turbo

Building on the strong market performance of the Freetan, Addmotor is expanding the series with the Freetan Turbo, scheduled for release in November 2026. Developed on the same platform, the Freetan Turbo retains the 6061 aluminum alloy integrated main frame architecture, full‑suspension configuration, 90°–170° reclining backrest, EB2.0 intelligent control system, electric control architecture, torque sensor, and the Xuanwu 48V 20Ah full‑potting battery.

Differentiating its powertrain, the Freetan Turbo incorporates a 750W mid‑drive motor delivering 150Nm of torque, providing increased mechanical advantages for demanding terrains and high‑load reliability. The model also introduces a 3-inch integrated wheel design that enhances structural rigidity and ride stability.

Tailored to everyday riding routines and lifestyles, the Freetan Turbo supports daily commuting, urban exploration, high‑torque climbing, long‑distance touring, and elevated power capability. Its semi-recumbent geometry and robust mid-drive architecture provide secure, high-performance support tailored to diverse users:

• Performance Commuters & Urban Explorers: Offering responsive power, structural rigidity, and agility for efficient daily transit and city navigation.
• Touring Enthusiasts: Delivering enhanced hill-climbing capacity and high-load reliability for rugged terrains and extended journeys.
• Power-Seekers: Fulfilling the demand for superior torque alongside a stable, ergonomic semi-recumbent posture.
• Quality-Driven Riders: Combining uncompromising power with the series' signature joint and posture relief.

Freetri

Since the Freetan series quickly became the company's best‑selling model after its launch, and user feedback increasingly called for a foldable semi‑recumbent option, Addmotor decided to extend the Freetan platform into a compact folding architecture, applying the same ergonomic principles, comfort‑focused geometry, and structural engineering to a space‑efficient format. This progression of the company's design framework led to the development of the Freetri, officially introduced on August 20, which integrates Freetan's signature semi‑recumbent riding posture into a portable frame suitable for urban commuting, apartment living, and storage‑ or transport‑restricted environments.

Built to adapt to dynamic living spaces and travel routines, the Freetri is optimized for daily commuting, urban exploration, simple storage, car transport, and recreational cruising. It translates the Freetan's renowned semi-recumbent comfort into an agile, collapsible format, offering dedicated support for:

• Urban Residents: Maximizing spatial efficiency for homes and offices where traditional trike storage is a challenge.
• Mobile Explorers: Ensuring effortless loading and hauling for road trips, weekend getaways, and vehicle transit.
• Space-Limited Users: Eliminating the bulk of conventional trikes while retaining absolute balance, confidence and ease of use.
• Comfort-First Riders: Delivering the same lumbar relief, upright security, and posture-friendly design in a travel-ready build.

UTrike Series: Innovative Tilting Mechanism and Dual-Mode Dynamics

UTrike U-750

For many riders, the joy of cycling has long been weighed against concerns over balance and stability. The UTrike U-750 changes that narrative by introducing an intuitive tilting mechanism with a specialized pivot axle connecting the front and rear chassis. This linkage allows the front frame and wheel to lean naturally like a traditional bicycle while the rear wheels remain steadfastly fixed, effectively neutralizing lateral tipping anxieties and empowering riders to corner with newfound confidence.

Designed to adapt to both the rider's skill level and emotional comfort, the UTrike U-750 operates in two modes:

• Fixed Mode: By locking the pivot, the trike establishes a rigid, upright three-wheel stance that offers immediate psychological security and rock-solid stability. It is a thoughtful design tailored for daily commuters, beginners, female riders, eco-conscious individuals, and anyone seeking balance-assistance, restoring the simple joy of independent errand-running, neighborhood travel, and daily commuting without a second thought.
• Tilting Mode: For those craving a more dynamic connection with the road, unlocking the pivot lets the front-end lean gracefully while the rear remains safely planted. It delivers the spirited, two-wheel-like handling of a traditional bike paired with the unwavering steadiness of a trike—inviting recreational riders and seasoned cyclists alike to lean into corners and rediscover the pure freedom of motion.

Beneath this rider-first philosophy lies a robust engineering foundation. Managed by the Addmotor EB2.0 intelligent control system and powered by a 48V 20Ah Samsung cell battery pack, the platform combines a 750W rear-drive motor with a precision torque sensor to deliver smooth, natural power assist. Its 20"×4" fat tire configuration increases the contact patch for comforting grip and dependable damping, while a triple disc brake setup and an integrated parking brake ensure secure stopping and stable stationary parking. With a generous payload capacity of 450 lbs, the UTrike U-750 effortlessly accommodates rider and cargo alike, turning everyday utility and weekend adventures into a seamless, liberating experience.

UTrike U-710

Built on the UTrike U-750 platform, the UTrike U-710 introduces a folding frame paired with a 3-inch tire setup, optimizing transport and storage while retaining the same tilting mechanism and dual-mode dynamics. Officially available now, it is ideal for urban commuters, RV and SUV travelers, apartment living, and riders seeking two-wheel-style handling in a space-saving, eco-friendly design.
