Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Addmotor Citytan M-315. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

5 reasons to buy

  • Testers enjoy the punchy acceleration and hill-climbing power from the throttle.
  • The Citytan M-315 has an 80lb-capacity rear basket, a USB charging port, fenders, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation.
  • The telescopic stem allows quick adjustments to fit.
  • The mechanical disc brakes on each wheel provide reliable stopping power in testing.
  • The parking brake and low 14.1” standover height make it easy to mount and dismount this trike.

8 reasons not to buy

  • At a bulky 41.3” x 43.3” x 45.3” when folded, the Citytan M-315 ability to fold has limited value.
  • A 290lb tester gets just 17 miles of range using mostly throttle.
  • At 112lb, the Citytan M-315 is heavy for an electric trike.
  • A 290lb reviewer says the non-adjustable suspension fork bottoms out when dropping off curbs.
  • The bike requires a lot of final assembly.
  • A tester reports a slight delay before pedal assist kicks in.
  • The below-average 2A charger returns charging times of around seven hours.
  • Addmotor buyers complain of poor customer support.

Bottom line

The Addmotor Citytan M-315 is a budget folding e-trike. The folding ability is solely to save some space at home, as this machine is too heavy and bulky to be portable. The below-average range and challenging assembly also count against the trike. Reviewers love the trike’s stability at top speed, climbing power, and reliable brakes, but punchy acceleration and speed are typically undesirable traits on tricycles, as they can tip over if ridden too aggressively. Overall, experts think the Citytan M-315 offers good value, but Addmotor’s poor customer support makes it a riskier purchase.
