Fat tire: the 7 fat tire trikes, in order

Ranked on the "Overall" weights. How this order is built

No. 1Best overall

Mokwheel Granite

$1,999.99~~$2,199.99~~9.5/10Excellent

Best for riders who want gears, a 2-year warranty and brakes on all three wheels.

350 lb payload
720 Wh battery
13 in step-over
Hydraulic disc brakes

13-inch step-over, the lowest of the 15 trikes we compare
Hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels, plus a parking brake
Shimano 7-speed gears: you can pedal up a hill instead of only throttling

The catch: At 101 lb it is the heaviest of the mid-priced folding trikes here, so the fold helps with storage more than with lifting. The payload is 350 lb in total, 65 lb less than the Lectric. And the battery (720 Wh, 45 to 55 miles stated) is smaller than what Lectric or Addmotor give you for less money.

No. 2

Addmotor Grandtan M-340

$2,199~~$2,899~~9.2/10Excellent

Best for riders who want fat tires, a torque sensor and a long range, and do not need to fold anything.

450 lb payload
960 Wh battery
17.5 in step-over
Disc brakes

4-inch fat tires: 24-inch front, 20-inch rear
Torque sensor and Shimano 7-speed gears
960 Wh battery; up to 85 miles on assist level 1, says Addmotor

The catch: You lift your foot 17.5 inches to get on, four inches more than on a Lectric or a Granite. It does not fold, it is about 78 inches long and 32 inches wide, and Addmotor does not publish a clear weight on the page (one answer there mentions about 123 lb). Measure your doorway and your shed before you order.

No. 3

Emojo Caddy Pro

$2,599~~$2,799~~8.9/10Very good

Best for tall or heavy riders who want a long warranty and a dealer network.

400 lb payload
720 Wh battery
18 in step-over
Hydraulic disc brakes

3-year warranty (coverage varies by part) and a 30-day trial
Fits riders up to 6'10", the widest height range we found
Hydraulic disc brakes and a differential rear axle

The catch: The step-over is 18 inches. That is a real lift of the leg, every time you get on. The motor is 500 W, modest for a fat tire trike, and the 720 Wh battery is average. Emojo's page does not mention a parking brake. Full assembly before shipping costs $200 more.

No. 4Best price

MaxFoot MF-30

$1,699~~$2,599~~8.7/10Very good

Best for riders who want a 960 Wh battery and fat tires for $1,699.

450 lb payload
960 Wh battery
18 in step-over
Disc brakes

960 Wh battery; 85 miles or more on assist level 1, says MaxFoot
Rear-drive 750 W motor (1,400 W peak) with a differential
350 lb on the trike plus 100 lb on the rear rack

The catch: The product FAQ says 1-year warranty; the page footer says 2 years. We scored one year, the lower of the two, and you should get the answer in writing. The page we read gives no top speed and no trike weight. Stock moves too: on the day we checked, two of five colors were sold out.

No. 5Highest payload

sixthreezero Rickshaw

$3,399.99~~$4,999.99~~8.1/10Good

Best for taking someone with you: a spouse, a grandchild, a parent who no longer rides.

500 lb payload
1,008 Wh battery
Not stated step-over
Hydraulic disc brakes

Passenger bench with a seat belt; 500 lb total capacity
Hydraulic disc brakes on all three wheels, plus a parking brake
1,008 Wh Samsung battery, the largest we found

The catch: 158 lb, no fold, and a price above $3,000. The warranty is one year, short for a trike that will carry a second person. sixthreezero recommends cruising at about 16 mph and says it will be slower close to 500 lb, so do not buy it for hills with two adults aboard. The page states no step-over height and no differential.

No. 6

Pedego Fat Tire Trike

$3,2957.7/10Fair

Best for buyers who want a local dealer, a test ride and a 5-year warranty.

325 lb payload
546 Wh battery
Not stated step-over
Hydraulic disc brakes

5-year warranty, the longest of the 15 trikes we compare
Dealer network: try it first, get it assembled and serviced locally
Hydraulic disc brakes (203 mm front rotor) with a parking brake function

The catch: The price. At $3,295 with the smaller 52 V 10.5 Ah battery, it is more than twice a Lectric. The payload is 325 lb, the lowest total in our ranking. Pedego's page does not state a step-over height, a weight or a differential, and the "up to 75 miles" figure sits next to the larger battery option. It is capped at 15 mph.

No. 7

Addmotor Greattan L

$3,699~~$4,199~~7.6/10Fair

Best for long outings for two, with one or two batteries.

500 lb payload
960 Wh battery
17.3 in step-over
Not stated brakes

Passenger seat with footrests, rated for 150 lb; rider up to 350 lb
Room for two 960 Wh batteries: up to 130 miles stated
Torque sensor and a 750 W rear-drive motor (1,400 W peak)

The catch: Check which version is in your cart: Addmotor sells a single-battery and a dual-battery Greattan L, and the price changes. The trike is 82.7 inches long and 36.6 inches wide, too wide for a standard 32-inch doorway. The passenger's seat belt is a $49 option. And the page we read does not describe the brakes, which on a 500 lb trike is the first thing we would ask about.

✓ marks the best figure of the row. "Not stated" means the brand doesn't publish it. Each trike keeps its one overall score; this page only changes the order. Prices checked November 13, 2026.

What to know before you choose

Fat tires change what a trike can ride on. A 4-inch tire at low pressure rolls over gravel, grass, packed sand and broken pavement that would shake a narrow tire, and your back with it. On a trike you don't need them for balance, so think of them as the simplest suspension there is.

They cost you three things. Weight: the heaviest trike here is 158 lb. Size: the ones that publish a width are 31 to 37 inches wide, and none of the 4-inch trikes folds. And step-over: 17 to 18 inches where it's published, four more than a low-step folding trike. If you have a garage and rough roads, none of that matters. If you have a hallway and smooth streets, it all does.

This ranking takes every trike on tires of 3 inches or more. The Mokwheel Granite leads on 3-inch tires, a middle path that keeps a 13-inch step-over and a folding frame. For true 4-inch tires, the Addmotor Grandtan M-340 is our pick: 960 Wh, a torque sensor and a 2-year warranty for $2,199. The MaxFoot MF-30 has the same battery for $1,699, with a thinner spec sheet.

How this ranking is weighted

Every trike keeps its overall score from the public formula. For this page we re-order the same eligible trikes with the "Overall" weights: price 20%, stability and brakes 20%, battery energy in watt-hours 15%, stand-over height 10%, and the rest for the other 4 criteria. The full table is on the methodology page.

Head-to-heads between trikes of this list: Addmotor Grandtan M-340 vs Emojo Caddy Pro, Addmotor Grandtan M-340 vs MaxFoot MF-30, sixthreezero Rickshaw vs Addmotor Greattan L, Addmotor Grandtan M-340 vs Addmotor Greattan L.

Other rankings: best electric trike overall, electric tricycle for seniors, folding electric trike, electric trike for heavy adults, best electric trike under $1000.

Speed, range and payload are each brand's own figures. Rules for electric bikes and trikes vary by state and city: check yours before you ride, and wear a helmet. This page isn't medical or legal advice.
