Hi Everyone! Anyone bought the Addmotor M 340?
We are looking for an e-trike for my 11-year old daughter. She has CMT so diminished leg strength and balance issues. She rides a Mobo Triton now which is a small recumbent but can't make it up hills with her friends. She desperately wants to ride to school and swim practice in the neighborhood so we are looking at e-trikes for balance. She is 11 years old and 4'7". The Addmotors and most other etrikes list 5'2" as a minimum height. Unfortunately, there is no dealer or place where she can try the bike first here in Austin. The 340 has a small wooden platform which would help her step up onto the pedals. She COULD ride it like a moped until she gets taller. As she is getting into her "tween" years I also thought the Addmotor had a bit of "cool" factor since it is fat-tired. Note: She is also extremely cautious so speed and tipping over since this is a trike probably wouldn't be as big of an issue. I am worried about an electric recumbent thinking her feet my slide off the pedals and get caught under the bike she most electric recumbents are still too bike for her. She also likes the look of the 340. Our local recumbent store is great and is willing to try to fit her and add a conversion kit to a non e-bike but I have concerns about conversion kits.
1. Love to hear your experience with Addmotor 340 or any other Addmotor trike.
2. Any advice on sizing? Or any other options I am not aware of?
Thanks for your help.
