Is This the Right Tricycle for You?
The Addmotor SPYTAN X uses two front wheels, one rear wheel and tilting steering. Front suspension, a low step-through frame and a saddle with backrest offer a different riding experience from a conventional rear-wheel-pair tricycle.
A strong choice for:
- Riders interested in a two-front-wheel layout
- Everyday outings with electric pedal assistance
- People wanting a folding frame for storage
- Recreational use with suitable cargo accessories
Check before choosing:
- Allow room for the published 949 mm overall width
- Check folded size, lifting arrangements and vehicle access
- Arrange a fit check and become familiar with tilting steering
Call 07 5522 0583 to discuss rider fit and intended use.
Why Choose the Addmotor SPYTAN X?
Two front wheels
The front wheel pair and tilting linkage give this trike its distinctive layout. Allow time to learn its steering response in a quiet, open space.
Front suspension
Suspension at the front helps absorb bumps on suitable routes. Choose surfaces and speeds that match your ability.
Hydraulic braking
Disc brakes act on all three wheels, with a parking-brake function for stationary stops.
Folding frame
The frame folds for storage and transport. Measure your available space and plan a suitable lifting method before loading.
Comfort and reach
The butterfly handlebar offers several grip positions, while the saddle includes a backrest. Check reach and seat position for your body.
Electric assistance
Seven pedal-assist levels and Shimano seven-speed gearing let you adjust assistance and pedalling effort during a ride.
Safety, Visibility and Ownership Support
Tilting steering does not make a tricycle tip-proof. Practise turning and braking progressively, slow down before corners and avoid abrupt manoeuvres or unsuitable cross-slopes. Keep loads secured and clear of the steering mechanism.
Use the compatible charging equipment supplied for your battery and follow the applicable owner instructions. Speak with Trike Bike about servicing and parts support.
Comfort, Rider Fit and Key Measurements
The listed standover height is 284 mm and saddle height adjusts from 698 to 868 mm. Reach, flexibility and access to the controls matter as well as rider height.
For storage planning, the manufacturer lists a folded size of 1,038 × 878 × 797 mm. Check your doorway, vehicle opening and loading space; folding alone does not guarantee that it will fit in a particular car.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does “reverse trike” mean powered reverse?
Here it describes the two-front-wheel layout. A powered reverse function is not confirmed in the Australian specification.
Can I use it on a golf course?
Check permission and local conditions with the course operator first. Ask us about suitable cargo accessories and loading limits.
Will it fit in my car?
Compare the folded measurements with your actual boot opening and usable space. Confirm trike weight and safe loading arrangements before transport.
How do I choose the right size?
Contact us with your height, inside-leg measurement, reach and intended riding conditions. A fit check is preferable to relying on height alone.
