Addmotor Greattan L Passenger Electric Trike

Addmotor Greattan L: A Two-Adult Electric Trike With a Belted Passenger Seat, a Differential and a Parking Brake

The Addmotor Greattan L is a three-wheel electric trike built for two adults: the rider up front and a passenger on a rear seat with a backrest, a seatbelt and a footrest board. Addmotor rates it for a 159 kg (350 lb) rider plus a 68 kg (150 lb) passenger, and gives it a differential, a parking brake and 180 mm disc brakes on all three wheels.

It comes in two versions, Single-Battery (one 48 V 20 Ah Samsung pack, up to 105 km by Addmotor’s figure) and Dual-Battery (two packs, up to 209 km), each in Neptune Blue or Army Green. Addmotor’s U.S. listing, where our Greattan L trikes ship from, rates the rear hub motor at 750 W with a 1,400 W peak and 90 N·m of torque; a torque sensor meters it over seven assist levels, and there is a half-twist throttle.

The second seat is engineered, not improvised: it has its own load rating, a belt, footrests, and a differential under it that lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds through a corner. That is the whole case for the Greattan L, and the rest of this page is the detail behind it, including the trade-offs.

Single-Battery or Dual-Battery: Choosing Your Greattan L

Both versions are the same trike with the same motor, seats and brakes; the second battery is the difference. Addmotor’s range figures are best-case: its warranty page says range and top speed “are not guaranteed and are only estimates of expected performance”, and lists rider and cargo weight, terrain, tire pressure, temperature and wind among the factors.

Addmotor’s spec table lists one weight, 70 kg (154 lb), without naming the version. Its May 2024 launch post calls the two-battery system “960Wh”; its product page lists two 48V 20Ah packs, which is 1,920 Wh in total by our arithmetic.

Shipping & Delivery: From the U.S., Nothing Extra to Pay, and the Risk Is Ours

• Ships from: The United States, to your door in Canada.
• Delivery: 10–15 business days from your order. Tracking comes by email as soon as it ships.
• What you pay: Your checkout total, nothing more. Shipping is free, and we clear customs and pay any duties and brokerage fees, so there is nothing to pay at the door.
• Shipping risk: Ours. If the trike is lost or damaged on the way, you don’t pay for it.
• When it arrives: Check the trike and the box before you sign, and note any visible damage on the delivery receipt. Take dated photos of any damage and of the box, keep all the packaging, and tell us within 5 days of delivery: that is what Addmotor’s warranty asks for with shipping damage, and we handle the claim.
• Where we deliver: We do not ship to P.O. boxes. If you live in a remote community, call us before you order.

Returns: 15-day returns from delivery on an unused, unopened trike in its original packaging (15% restocking fee; you pay return shipping). A trike that arrives factory-defective, with under 10 km of use, is a dead-on-arrival case: tell us within 14 days of delivery and we help arrange a refund or a warranty repair.

Our shipping policy and refund policy apply; the U.S. origin, the 10–15 business days and the duties we pay are specific to the Greattan L.

What the Second Seat Gets You

• A real seat for the passenger. The rear seat measures 23.43 × 13.78″ (about 60 × 35 cm) with a backrest and a seatbelt, over a footrest board with footpegs.
• A load rating for two. 159 kg for the rider plus 68 kg for the passenger, 227 kg (500 lb) in all; Addmotor’s page calls it “a max payload of 500lbs”.
• A differential for corners. In Addmotor’s words, it lets “the rear wheels rotate at different speeds during turns. This increases the stability and cornering ability of the trike, especially when carrying passengers” (Addmotor, May 2024).
• A parking brake for boarding. ETrikeCo’s reviewer wrote that locking the brakes kept the trike “from rolling away while I was loading up or taking a break” (ETrikeCo, January 2025).
• A low passenger seat. Addmotor says the rear-seat design places the trike’s centre of gravity “at a mere 11.81’’ of ground clearance”.

Key Features

• 750 W rear hub, 1,400 W peak, 90 N·m — Addmotor’s U.S. page says the motor “delivers a 1400W peak power surge and 90Nm of torque, ensuring strong acceleration and hill-climbing ability even with a passenger”, and Addmotor’s September 2025 model table gives the same 750 / 1,400 W and 90 N·m. Its Canadian page calls it a rear-mounted motor and prints no wattage. An Addmotor 25A controller drives it.
• Torque sensor, seven assist levels, half-twist throttle — the sensor reads how hard you pedal, which Addmotor describes as “smooth, natural assistance tailored to your combined effort”. The right-hand half-twist throttle has its own on/off switch.
• Samsung 48 V 20 Ah packs, UL 2271 — one pack on the Single-Battery version, two on the Dual-Battery. Addmotor puts the life of its batteries at “about 800 charging cycles”. The charger is a 48 V 2.0 A unit with a magnetic plug.
• 7020 aluminium frame and a 24″ double-shoulder fork — Addmotor Canada lists an ADDSHOX 24″ oil-spring suspension fork “with an Extra Long Travel”; the U.S. page calls it a double-shoulder suspension fork.
• Mechanical disc brakes on all three wheels — 180 mm rotors, a motor cut-off sensor and a parking brake. Addmotor’s U.S. page names the brakes Tektro.
• Shimano Tourney 7-speed — TY300 rear derailleur, thumb shifter with SIS indexing, a 14–32T freewheel and a KMC rust-resistant chain.
• Fat tires, 24″ front and 20″ rear — all three are 4″ wide (Addmotor: 61 × 10 cm front, 51 × 10 cm rear).
• A cockpit you can set up — an adjustable-angle stem (90°), a 725 mm sweep-back aluminium handlebar, a 5-inch LCD display (the U.S. page calls it the EB 2.0 LCD), the EB 2.0 lighting system, an electric horn and a bell.
• Room for the errands — front and rear baskets come standard, plus a basket under the passenger seat of 55 × 38 × 14 cm (21.6 × 14.9 × 5.5″), and extra-wide aluminium fenders front and rear.

Greattan L Size, Fit and Dimensions

Addmotor publishes the Greattan L’s measurements in two places: the chart below and the Size & Fit table on its product page. The inch figures agree in both. Tap the chart to open it full size.

*Addmotor’s metric column prints 118 cm for the highest saddle height and 122 cm for the handlebar height, but 38.6″ and 46.5″ convert to 98 cm and 118 cm; the inch figures match Addmotor’s chart, so we show the conversions. †Addmotor’s metric figure; 5′4″ converts to 163 cm. ‡Our conversion of Addmotor’s inch figures. If a few centimetres decide it for you, call us and we will check with Addmotor.

Measure your door, gate or shed opening before you order: the Greattan L is 93 cm (36.6″) wide and 210.9 cm (82.7″) long.

What’s in the Box

Addmotor ships the Greattan L 85% pre-assembled and lists the box contents as:

1. The Greattan L trike
2. The battery, or both batteries on the Dual-Battery version
3. Charger
4. Front and rear baskets
5. Passenger seatbelt (Addmotor’s free gift, and ours)
6. User manual
7. Tool kit

ETrikeCo’s reviewer found about 75% of the trike pre-assembled and listed the jobs left: install the front wheel, adjust the brakes, attach three mudguards, and set up the handlebars and seats. Addmotor’s assembly tutorial is above, and assembly walkthroughs by phone or video are part of your first month of Zeus Care.

Warranty: Addmotor’s Terms, Backed by Addmotor in Full

Addmotor’s limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in material or workmanship, counted from the date of purchase. We file and follow every claim for you.

• Frame: 2 years
• Motor: 2 years
• Battery (20Ah, the size on this trike): 2 years
• Fork, stem, handlebar, headset, seat post, lights, bottom bracket, rims, wheel hubs, derailleur, throttle, wiring harness, controller and LCD display: 1 year

It does not cover normal wear or consumables (tires, tubes, brake pads, rotors, bearings, cables, grips, chains, cassettes and spokes), theft or vandalism, or damage from accidents, misuse, neglect, commercial use, modifications, improper assembly, maintenance or repair, water, extreme or stunt riding, or not following the owner’s manual. Battery damage from a wrong or damaged charger, improper storage or extreme temperatures is excluded too, and Addmotor pays for a repair at another shop only when it approves the quote before the work is done.

Your first month of Zeus Care is included: assembly walkthroughs, remote diagnostics, maintenance help and claim handling, by phone, email or video. Zeus Care plans continue it for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years ($119, $229, $339 or $599). Zeus Care is a service: it does not add warranty coverage.

Read the terms on Addmotor’s Canadian warranty page and ours on the Zeus warranty and Zeus Care page.

The Honest Take: What to Know Before You Buy

1. It is big and heavy. Addmotor lists 70 kg (154 lb); ETrikeCo reported 153 lb with one battery and about 163 lb with two. It is 210.9 cm long and 93 cm wide, and ETrikeCo wrote that lifting it into a vehicle “would be nearly impossible without a ramp”. Plan the parking spot and the transport before you buy.
2. The brakes are mechanical, not hydraulic. ETrikeCo found the 180 mm discs adequate but would have preferred hydraulic brakes on a trike this heavy, especially two-up. Addmotor answers that it “strongly believe[s] that mechanical disc brakes are more suitable for electric tricycles”, with a rotor on each wheel.
3. The passenger seat does not adjust, and the passenger limit is 68 kg (150 lb). ETrikeCo noted that “the seat and footrests are not adjustable”, and an adult passenger over 68 kg is over Addmotor’s rating. There are no mirrors in Addmotor’s box list either.
4. At 750 W it is not an e-bike under provincial rules. See the legal note above: public roads mean a motor vehicle class in your province; otherwise it is an off-road and private-property trike.

If you have the space, your passenger fits the rating and your riding is on private land or your province allows it as a motor vehicle, those are the costs of a trike that seats two adults properly. Call us at 1-866-938-7580 if any of the four is a deciding factor.

Full Specifications

Addmotor’s figures from its Canadian and U.S. Greattan L pages, read 17 October 2026; where they differ, both are shown.

Who Is the Greattan L For?

• Couples and friends who ride together — the passenger rides on a belted seat with a backrest, not on a rack. More two-up options: 2-seater and passenger e-bikes →
• Riders bringing someone who can’t ride — Addmotor pitches the seat for “transporting kids or elders”, within the 68 kg passenger rating. E-bikes and trikes for seniors →
• Cottage, acreage and private-property riders — where a 750 W trike is in the clear. Check your province →
• Errand runners — front and rear baskets plus a basket under the passenger seat. Electric trikes in Canada →

Who it’s NOT for: anyone who needs an e-bike for public roads under the provincial e-bike rules (500 W collection); a solo rider who wants a trike (Grandtan II or Arisetan II M-360); anyone who has to lift the trike into a car; and passengers over 68 kg (150 lb).

*Addmotor’s Canadian product pages print no wattage; the motor row is from Addmotor’s own model table (September 2025), which rates all three at 750 W rated, 1,400 W peak and 90 N·m, and its U.S. Greattan L page says the same. An older Addmotor post (December 2023) describes a Grandtan M-340 with a front-mounted 750 W motor and 80 N·m; Addmotor Canada’s spec table today says rear-mounted. Every other figure is Addmotor Canada’s own (product pages and spec tables read 17 October 2026); battery Wh is our arithmetic (48 V × 20 Ah per pack).

Frequently Asked Questions

What riders ask about the Greattan L

Can the Greattan L carry two adults, and what is the weight limit?

Yes. Addmotor rates it for a 159 kg (350 lb) rider plus a 68 kg (150 lb) passenger, 227 kg (500 lb) in all, with the passenger on a rear seat with a backrest and a seatbelt. An adult passenger over 68 kg is over Addmotor’s rating.

How far does the Greattan L go on a charge?

Addmotor’s figures are up to 105 km (65 miles) with one battery and 209 km (130 miles) with two, and its warranty page says such figures “are not guaranteed and are only estimates of expected performance”. ETrikeCo’s hands-on review reported 50–80 miles (about 80–130 km) on the Dual-Battery version. A passenger, hills, cold and wind all shorten it.

Single or dual battery: which should I buy?

Both are the same trike; the Dual-Battery version adds a second 48 V 20 Ah pack (1,920 Wh in total instead of 960 Wh, by our arithmetic) and doubles Addmotor’s range figure, from 105 km to 209 km. ETrikeCo reported 153 lb with one battery and about 163 lb with two. Choose two batteries if you often ride two-up, ride far or ride in the cold.

Does the Greattan L have a throttle?

Yes: a right-hand half-twist throttle with its own on/off switch, alongside seven pedal-assist levels run by a torque sensor.

How stable is it, especially in sharp turns?

It has three wheels, a low passenger seat (Addmotor puts the centre of gravity “at a mere 11.81’’ of ground clearance”) and a differential that, in Addmotor’s words, lets “the rear wheels rotate at different speeds during turns” for better stability and cornering with a passenger. ETrikeCo’s reviewer said it felt “solid and stable”. As on any trike, slow down before a sharp turn, especially two-up.

What brakes does it have?

Mechanical (cable-operated) disc brakes on all three wheels, with 180 mm rotors, a motor cut-off sensor and a parking brake; Addmotor’s U.S. page names them Tektro. ETrikeCo found them adequate but would have preferred hydraulic brakes on a trike this heavy.

How powerful is the motor, and how much torque does it have?

Addmotor’s U.S. listing rates the rear hub motor at 750 W, with a 1,400 W peak and 90 N·m of torque, driven by a 25A controller. Its Canadian page calls it a rear-mounted motor and prints no wattage.

How much does the Greattan L weigh?

Addmotor lists 70 kg (154 lb) without naming the version; ETrikeCo reported 153 lb with one battery and about 163 lb with two.

Does it fold, and how do I transport it?

Addmotor’s specifications list no folding mechanism, and its chart and photos show a one-piece frame. At 70 kg, 210.9 cm long and 93 cm wide, plan on a trailer, a van, or a ramp into a truck bed: ETrikeCo wrote that lifting it into a vehicle “would be nearly impossible without a ramp”.

What are the Greattan L’s dimensions?

Addmotor lists 82.7″ (210.9 cm) long, 36.6″ (93 cm) wide, a 59.1″ (150 cm) wheelbase, a 17.3″ (43.9 cm) standover and a 30.7–38.6″ saddle height, for riders 5′4″ to 6′4″. The full table and Addmotor’s chart are in Size, fit and dimensions.

Can a child ride as the passenger?

Addmotor pitches the rear seat for “transporting kids or elders”; it has a seatbelt and a 68 kg (150 lb) rating. Whether and how a passenger may ride on a 750 W trike follows the rules for its class in your province, so check before a child rides. Call us at 1-866-938-7580 and we will go through your province with you.

Is the Greattan L legal on Canadian roads and pathways?

Not as an e-bike. Addmotor’s U.S. listing rates the motor at 750 W, over the 500 W the provincial e-bike rules converge on (they also stop assistance at 32 km/h; Nova Scotia’s statute says 30 km/h), and the federal e-bike definition was repealed in 2021. On a public road it is a motor vehicle under provincial law (moped, motorcycle or another class depending on its specs), or off-road and private property only. In Québec, the SAAQ says a power-assisted bicycle must be rated at no more than 500 watts to be authorized on a public roadway, and that a bicycle with a bigger motor “is still considered a bicycle, but is not authorized for use on a public road, including roadways and bike paths” (SAAQ). Provincial e-bike laws →

Where can I buy the Greattan L in Canada?

Here. Zeus sells both versions in both colours and ships them free from the U.S. to addresses across Canada, with customs, duties and brokerage paid by us, in 10–15 business days. We do not ship to P.O. boxes; in a remote community, call us first.

How much does the Greattan L cost?

Each version has its own price, shown live on this page when you pick it; our October 2026 prices for both versions are in the comparison table. Shipping, customs, duties and brokerage are included, so the checkout total is the whole cost. Financing options →

Can I see more photos of the Greattan L?

Yes. The gallery at the top holds Addmotor’s images of both colours, the passenger seat, the footrest board, the baskets, the battery positions, the motor, the fork and the lights, plus the dimension chart that is also on this page.

Are there reviews of the Greattan L?

Addmotor’s Canadian page showed 5 reviews averaging 5 stars on 17 October 2026, and ETrikeCo published a hands-on review in January 2025. This listing has no Zeus customer reviews yet; if you want to talk it through before buying, call us at 1-866-938-7580 and we will tell you honestly whether it suits you.

What comes in the box, and how much assembly is there?

Addmotor lists the trike, the battery or batteries, the charger, front and rear baskets, the passenger seatbelt, the user manual and a tool kit, and says the trike arrives 85% pre-assembled. ETrikeCo’s reviewer found about 75% done and listed the front wheel, brake adjustment, three mudguards, the handlebars and the seats as the jobs left.

What warranty does the Greattan L have?

Addmotor’s limited warranty, backed by Addmotor in full: 2 years on the frame, the motor and the 20Ah battery, and 1 year on the other covered parts. We file and follow every claim for you, and your first month of Zeus Care is included. Warranty details.

Also worth knowing before you buy

Will I pay duties, brokerage or shipping when it crosses the border?

No. Your checkout total is all you pay: shipping is free, and we clear the trike through customs and pay any duties and brokerage fees. The shipping risk is ours too: if it is lost or damaged on the way, you don’t pay for it.

Can I ride the Greattan L in winter?

Addmotor lists ambient temperature among the factors that change range and top speed, and its warranty excludes battery damage from “exposure to unsuitable environments such as but not limited to humidity or extreme temperatures”. Winter riding guide →

How can I finance it?

Klarna and PayPlan by RBC both appear as payment options at checkout, next to credit card, Shop Pay and Google Pay. How e-bike financing works in Canada →
