Addmotor Grandtan M-340 vs MaxFoot MF-30

The Addmotor Grandtan M-340 scores 0.5 higher than the MaxFoot MF-30; here is where each one earns its place.

Short answer: Addmotor Grandtan M-340 wins this one, 9.2/10 against 8.7/10, mainly on brakes and stability and warranty. MaxFoot MF-30 answers with price.

What really separates them?

These two share a blueprint: a 750 W rear-drive motor, a differential, 960 Wh of battery, 4-inch tires, a backrest, 350 lb for the rider plus 100 lb of cargo. The Grandtan costs $500 more. For that you get a torque sensor, 7 gears, a parking brake, a third disc brake and a warranty that is clearly 2 years, where MaxFoot's page says one year in one place and two in another. If MaxFoot confirms a 2-year warranty and a top speed you are happy with, the MF-30 is the bargain. If you want the questions answered before you ask them, the Grandtan.

Which one is for you?

  • You want gears: 7 speeds, where the MF-30's page lists none

Which one stops and corners better?

Addmotor Grandtan M-340: disc brakes on all three wheels, with a parking brake, and a rear differential. MaxFoot MF-30: dual disc brakes; no parking brake is mentioned, and a rear differential. On a trike these three parts do most of the safety work: hydraulic brakes need less hand force, a parking brake holds the trike while you get on, and a differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in a corner.

MaxFoot MF-30: 750 W (1,400 W peak), 960 Wh of battery, 85 miles or more on assist level 1 (MaxFoot), top speed not stated.
