Addmotor Arisetan II M-360

Sit back rather than perch: the Addmotor Arisetan II M-360 is a semi-recumbent electric trike that seats you low and reclined, over three fat tires. A torque sensor matches the motor's help to how hard you pedal.

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
