Good review but you need to review the 2024 version. The rear motor, differential, parking break and rear fenders are all great improvements plus the torque sensor and front shocks make great upgrades. I received mine this last Tuesday, assembled it and took it for a spin that Thursday. Wow, what a difference from the traditional trike with 7speed and 26” wheels. It was/is an instrument of torture. The Arisetan II M-360 is a great follow on to the previous model. Yes, it is expensive BUT due to its build quality and ride comfort, totally worth it. I’m 74 and due to double knee replacement and type 2 diabetes, this is the answer I was looking for to get some exercise. Addmotor included some “gifts” which some are useful and some I have questions about. I got 2 mirrors but there’s no place to mount the right side mirror. The liner for the storage rack is great. I’ve actually fitted a foam cooler in it for cold items. The lid doesn’t fit, so just the bottom part. It will still keep things cold from the grocery store. I really like this trike! I’ve seen a couple of close look a-likes but they are either not as functional and even more expensive. One is more than twice as much but it also has two motors. The M-360 is the one to get!
@@Eddyvnhln5150I closed out my 407, paid off my truck, bought the M-360/2 and put the rest in savings. The M-360 is worth every penny. I got the green version so I’ll be very visible😅. I think you’ll like it.
This thing is great, but I really would've liked to see duel rear motors or at least a mid drive at this price point. It really is a bit overpriced for what it is, especially considering the lack of hydraulic brakes. Awesome review as always, Brent, keep up the hard work!
what’s good, Aidan! you make some fair points and i too wonder why trikes cost so much more than their two-wheel counterparts. hope you’re well and having a good day!
One thing I would like to see are slightly bigger handlebars. I have to have the seat moved back to allow optimum pedaling but my hands are tending to become numb after riding awhile. Another inch or two would help with that. This the first trike/bike where my hands become numb instead of my rear end! Otherwise very comfortable.
I’m enjoying your videos. Trying to decide what electric bike to buy. Looks like you are in Rocklin. If so, I am too. Really cool to have a youtuber in my city. Keep up the grind
Tops my list for e-Trike. Love this bike. IDK, people need to know the price it costs to make a trike that's electric. As a business, they need to make a profit, too. Apples to oranges, it cost the same as my gently used GSX-R 1000. But can I get a good workout on a Gixxer? Depends if leg cramps count, lol. Great review, BTW. I can tell you're in Cali. Where, not sure. Reminds me of Elk Grove.
Always a pleasure watching your vids bro.This thing could definitely haul a lot of weight for sure.I think the breaks could be better because I have the same breaks on one of my bikes and I go through them fast.I want to put hydraulic brakes on mine some time in the future.Anyway good stuff bro 👍👍😁
what’s up, Racer X! great to see ya back. and good point about the brakes. i imagine you go through much quicker because of how much weight they have to stop. what kind of trike do you have?
@@lrdoria1 Sorry my spelling bugs you bro I'm sure you know what I was trying to and that's all that really matters bro life is way to short for trivial shit lmfao 😂
WOW, great review Brent. So what your saying is after about 12 mph they feel a little uneasy ( for lack of a better term) or maybe a little less STABLE. My wife isn't very atheletic and she wants a trike that she can go a little faster to keep up with everyone else. This is a tough decision because you can't ride or even look at these close up, we rely totally on people like you for an expert honest opinion before I drop my hard earned money on a $3000 dollar bike. Believe me she doesn't want to go fast but everyone we will be riding with have Maxfoots and I could just hear the feedback if she couldn'y keep up. Thanks again for your honest opinion.
hey thanks GRH7! yes, and the faster you go, and the faster you turn, the more unstable three-wheelers become. if she's looking to keep up with faster riders, another great option is a step-through e-bike with a super low standover height. that will make stepping over the frame as easy as stepping onto a sidewalk, and then from there you can quite easily mount the saddle. what do you think?
Thank you Brent for the quick reply. I'am trying to talk to her into either the rad 6 or himiway escape, both seem closer to the ground and both decent bikes, but she has small hands. She took the Maxfoot step through for a ride and she said it was too big for her, of course my sister-in -law is a tall girl and had the seat up pretty high and that turned her off to e-bikes. I convinced her there are smaller bikes that she can ride, she just needs a little practice to build her confidence. What do you think of those two I mentioned, they ok or do you think a trike is her best option. She doesn't want to go fast anyway but the only thing I don't like about the trike is the derailer is only like 5 inches from the ground, which means she would have to navigate closely when we go off road.
heya GRH7! we haven't reviewed either of those models, but both those frame have super low standover heights, and that's what you'll want in this case. since your wife has small hands, I strongly recommend hydraulic brakes... they require less squeeze pressure compared to mechanical brakes. truth is: Step throughs are great. they're versatile, approachable and are capable of much higher speeds compared to trikes. but with higher speeds come higher consequences in the event of an accident. ultimately, it would be great if you guys could try a few out in person. would that be possible for you guys?
We received our trike a few days ago, the only thing I have to say is that if you are not a tall person (175 cm or above ), you cannot ride in a lay back relaxed posture.
The the handlebars fold down? What’s the maximum height with the seat removed and handlebars folded down.? Interested in seeing if it would fit in back of my Subaru Outback
I wish I could get one that will go 28-30mph I like the look of it. The body style is cool. I’m going to order one the motor is in the back. See it I can change the speed. I’m not disabled. I like the body style.. more younger people will like that style.. but they will want it to go faster..
I have gotten close to 16 mph and while it will go 20-22, I'm not sure I would advise it. It is very stable but going fast as a trike it can become unstable. Going even faster would be insane! The slightest wrong move would be very bad. The 2024 M-360 II is a great improvement over the original and worth every penny! Addmotor has even priced it the same as the original. The $2999 price plus the free gifts make it a good buy.
Everyone seems baffled as to why it's so much more expensive than the comparable 2 wheeled counterpart with basically the same gear. It's not to hard to figure if you think about it from a manufacturers' perspective. What if YOU had to produce this bike for the same price as a 2 wheeler ? Think about it; first there's the extra wheel with brake, brake pad and tire yeah ? That's before you even get started. Ok now the biggie ... they have to ship these things from china, not just to your door, so, look at it ... it has to ship in a box the size of a refrigerator... now how many of these can you get into a shipping container vs, how many 2 wheelers can you get into the same container ? Divide the cost of the shipping by the number of units and now you get some idea of where the extra cost comes from. Its the fact that you can't stack these things like library books in the warehouse. This same problem exists within the factory itself ... not only storage but even the jig to weld the frame can't be just a 2 dimensional affair, much more complicated to design, bend, align, secure, and weld in 3 dimensions. It is obviously a pain in the rear to deal with the basically extra dimension from factory to endpoint. Not that it's just more difficult from a convenience standpoint because its harder and you want it to be less difficult and simpler, but that all of these difficulties translate into extra time, extra space, extra engineering, extra workers working slower ... it all equals extra money compared to a 2 wheeler. You just didn't want to think of it cause you didn't have to do it. Well, now you're the plant manager and you have too. Every difficulty translates directly into more money, more money, more money. You're bosses are breathing down your neck and they want answers and every time you try to explain it to them, they look at you like you're making excuses or complaining. Heck the thing is probably a pain in the foot to even paint ! Now, if you can imagine, consider that you're gonna have a smaller market to sell to altogether, yep, bad news I'm afraid ... limited numbers over which to amortize your additional costs. Meanwhile your competition across the street is blasting out a thousand 2 wheelers a day and he moves so much product that he gets a discount from the dock workers. Seeing as how you are the manufacturer, what are YOU gonna do ? How dare you charge more ! You evil #@%$*&^ !!! You're hair is falling out and the doctors don't know why, your wife wants a divorce, and your kids hate you ! You thought it would be so simple. Where did you go wrong ? lol
The display has been updated, the tail light has blinkers, hazard lights, works as a brake light and is much larger than what is shown here. If the battery isn't too heavy you could get a few more to plop down into the rear basket to extend the range. Now you need to test out a Utah Trike e-Quad with extended bed. These can be manufactured to support 1-2 people in side-by-side seating arrangements, can support 500 pounds in single rider configuration, has up to 10 e-bike batteries mounted to what looks like ribs. These ribs are mounted to the left and right rear portion of the bed. Each battery has up to 50 miles range per charge in level 1 peddle assist. Five hundred miles of maximum range with PAS level 1 is insane. So too is the price of around $6,000 to $10,000. More range than an electric car.
Great Vid. I have ordered this bike,and delivery in a few days. You mention putting Slime in the tires. Any recomendations as I will be riding often on streets and I worry about flats?
How’s the trike? I’m considering buying one. Wonder if you can do me a favor of a couple measurements? Maximum height with seat removed and handlebars folded down? I’m interested to see if this bike would slide into the back of my Subaru Outback
man... to be honest... they're all super stable at slow speeds, but they all feel really unstable at higher speeds. i've never ridden a trike that refuses to obey this law... and i've been riding gas and electric powered trikes since I was 12. i know this probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but i hope it helps clarify the nature of trikes. :)
What electric trikes got the most torque and power or towing capacity.I want the trike with rear seat(s) in the back so I can carry a passenger or two ?
haha that’s funny. i was literally thinking the same thing as i was riding it for the review. that would be one powerful trike. you’d probably have to store all the batteries in the cargo. anyway, glad to see you, James and hope you’re having a great day!
@@electrifiedreviews yep all good brother. There's plenty of room for 2 more battery packs or to get a custom flat pack in the rear and still have usable space. Reminds me of the old Big wheel trikes for kids, slam the rear of the frame to the floor for some pimpin cruises
Wondering... what do you use when you have to transport this trike? It's a little longer than the upright types, and wouldn't fit in a regular trike transport I would think.
@@electrifiedreviews I'm sorry, I meant compared to any of the rad bikes. The major difference is the frame ( to make it a trike ) so why is that a 1500$ upgrade?

So if one wanted to get to store 55 miles away could one take this trike and not get stranded at one’s destination? If say one couldn’t peddle that distance?
@@CarsBikesBoats7 guess you didn't watch the video! There's pedals and a chain that goes to the rear! When you pedal is it one wheel drive or does both wheels work together??
It’s $2999 not $4000. I agree it’s still expensive but it depends on what you’re willing to pay for. At first I balked at the idea but the more I thought about it and saw the reviews, I was intrigued by the design. It just looks comfortable to ride and it is! The build quality is outstanding. It works! Not everything that costs a lot are worth the price. This is an exception.
@@electrifiedreviews Yes. There are some. But most of manufacturers think that having a diff is something very premium, but actually is a must have. It will make the ride very pleasant. Both rear tyres will have power. I can't name one but there is one eTrike with a 1500Watt mid drive motor + 14 speed rohloff hub transmission.
These things are best suited for retirement villages or campgrounds....Stable ride with no noise......Unfortunately it's over priced and under outfitted, component wise....Realistically, 2 grand maybe, would be a fair price, still allowing for a substantial profit margin.....Addmotor's marketing scheme is probably geared towards the boomer generation, lot's of money, with no concept of value, equalling high profit margin...My guess would be, it will work well with them....Consume, consume, entitlement, me, me, me, consume, discard...6th mass extinction, climate apocalypse, nuclear armageddon....BINGO...We have a winner.....Chicken dinner....TICK-TOCK....Goes the dreaded clock....
Lolllll that switch on the throttle is just a switch to turn the twist throttle on and off lol did u even ride this thing before u made this video its not a turbo button lmao I have the same one for my m560 P7 before I went back to thumb
