AddMotoR MOTAN M150-P7 Review - $1.6k

The AddMotoR MOTAN M150-P7 is a fat tire folding electric bike that comes in four different color schemes with steel fenders that are less likely to rattle when riding but could rust if scratched. Integrated headlight provides ample illumination, 750 watt fatbike specific hub motor offers good power and wheel strength, 552 watt hour battery is larger than average for a folder. Comfortable ride with plush saddle, ergonomic grips, and front suspension offering 100 mm of travel, telescoping stem helps to accommodate a wide range of rider heights. Not especially lightweight (even though it looks compact), it's a fun bike that should perform well on loose terrain like snow, sand, mud, and gravel but lack of bosses for bottle cage and racks does limit utility a bit.

Production cost

[@ronaldschild157]

For being the producer, cameraman, script writer, technical advisor and host of this video you did a great job! I learned a lot. I am seriously considering purchasing one of the AddMotoR MOTAN's.

[@mohammaddezfuli]

Great review! I have the M150-P7 for a month and since then, I can not stop ridding it. I have already reached over 400 miles. This is the best upright seating position e-bike, which makes it the most comfortable ride you have ever experienced.

[@1531991Jb]

hello there, now six months after you've had the bike, what do you think? do you have any regrets, or any comments on it. because i'm about to buy one . the 750w next week.

[@ImageMasters1000]

Another great review "in the can", Brent! The drone footage really rounds things out for a complete perspective. The new innovations are important because you and Court are the ones all the other reviewers are trying to mimic! Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@beyondfossil]

Good use of the drone aerial shots in these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@subversivevegan]

Get a Rad Mini. 750 watts, 14 ah battery, front suspension. Great service from US company. $1499 with free shipping. Fenders are extra, but honestly...you have recourse with a toll free service number and a company that stands behind its bikes.

[@MikeNelson1953]

Rad Mini and most of its accessories are out of stock right now.

[@ImageMasters1000]

I agree, Kathy! I have a 2017 Rad Mini, myself, and I love it! There is, of course, room in the marketplace for others, as well! As Mike points out below, Rad is struggling to keep up with the demand for parts and accessories, so it's a good thing they're not the only company out there!

[@ImageMasters1000]

Court's reviews played an important part in my decision to get the Mini last year...glad I did! Thanks, Court!!

[@greysuit17]

Mike Nelson they restock fairly quickly

[@4nlimited3dition_4n3d]

Well, to be honest they're all the same chinese e bikes. Rad has some unique parts like the frame design, which still imo is not really better than the original frame that AddMotor / VoltBike and all the other sticker brands have. I think they wanted the chinese to make the Rad frame different just to try to separate from the rest, not because it had any benefit over the original.

[@GetInShapeWithDavid]

Finally a useful video on this bike. Thank you.

[@tonyhenrich6766]

I bought a Radmini for $1500 and it includes shipping and warranty. It's a very similar bike. A fat tire folding bike. Ordering an expensive item from AliExpress is a lot of risks. It's not always just about saving money. I would pay extra for peace of mind in getting a quality bike, with warranty, a local company that can help me. A had an issue with the Radmini controller and the company sent me a free replacement. Try that with AliExpress.

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

I had an issue with my second Addmotor bike and got exceptional service from the factory.

[@hapaboy0808]

Great review & camera work; love the drone shots!

[@FZ-oj5zn]

Hey, I just bought one of these used. It's awesome and this is an amazing review. Do you know where I could find the manual? I am still trying to figure out a few things including charging for best results

[@conniepalme5978]

they manual is bad. all it shows is how to assemble. this guy is the best as far as info

[@Ody_ai]

Hey! I'll jump into this Kong forgotten video and comment! One thing, the folding joint in your video appears to be the "old" cuff/folding mech. Apparently.. these bikes have been snapping in half at this part of the bike. Has this happened to yours? I just ordered one of the P7's and was told the locking mechanism has been updated to a newer style, to prevent the bike from snapping in half. Have you heard of those stories? Thanks!

[@pt7604]

I prefer the Black, simply as it's not as flashy to potential thieves.

[@E-bike652]

Nice review. One point, it looks like the rear fender is backwards. If turned the opposite way seems like it would deflect more rain water or mud. Just say’n. Thanks

[@clydeb1369]

Luv the bike good honest review. UK.

[@mikedevlin803]

I have a similar style bike..."Airstream 805", 350 watt...and narrower tires allows you to place it on Public Transit Bike carriers, Trains, etc. Wasn't my first choice in a Electric Bike, but proved to be the intelligent choice...very versatile.!

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

Narrow tires are a hazard here because of trolley tracks.

[@tightfoo]

this seems very similar to the matex750 coming out. do you agree and which one would you choose?

[@justinspirational]

thanks for your great review- just wondered what your opinion on safety is riding folding bikes like this is (especially off road)- are there any risks of these kind of bikes collapsing/folding mid ride (as opposed to regular solid non folding bikes)? Thank you

[@loganshimp6701]

justinspirational did you purchase the mate bike? If so has it came in and what’s it like?

[@jeremyjez4202]

I have two. I would highly recommend. Yes the fenders don't do anything. Useless. I'm looking forward to summer. I had this in the snow , it was fun. All round fun and high quality. I'll be upgrading with this brand again

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

We have two as well, the older 500w version and they are completely reliable and the tires don't get stuck in the trolley tracks in New Orleans.

[@AddmotorelectricBikes]

Thank you for commenting this.Hope M-150 P7 brings the best in you.Have a nice day.

[@0k8sullivan]

My friend bought this bike. It snapped in half at the center weld by the fold lock. He ended up in the ER and out of work. All city riding too, not off-road. Be careful sounds like a bad frame.

[@jamesconner3437]

Yes, but all less expensive bikes will have possible defects, since there are fewer ( or none at all) manufacturing QC points. Make / ship / sell.....that's the game.

[@HiFiThefox]

I've been looking to get a ebike for a bit now and I was first interested in the RamMini but I will never have a chance to get one as they sell out so fast. I found this on Amazon and it looks like a good alternative but I want to know about getting support from the company and replacement parts. I saw some "cheaper" bikes similar that had a lot of reviews saying they got nothing when they contacted the company/support. If you are able to tell me anything about the brand it would be helpful, thanks.

[@tjam4229]

Thanks for the videos. I would like a bike similar to this only with simple belt-drive (Save money by dropping chain and derailleur) Would be even nicer to have it at $1K Any suggestions?

[@orionism42]

Let's dream even further and lets make it free with free shipping!

[@FaithBylt]

How does this bike hold up in the rain, I live in Seattle where it’s usually raining outside a large portion of the year

[@andrewmartin00]

So if the assist turns on right away, could you ride this bike without pedaling? And if you can what would be the range?

[@milordas]

why fenders so short? its more decoration then practical effect..

[@biingjyh]

may I know how tall you are ?? so i will have ideal the height of bike to handlebar

[@nettoyageadriance]

Very cool little rig! I use the very similar Voltbike Mariner to pull our work trailer. Super fun to ride these mini bikes!

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Great question Brent!

[@nettoyageadriance]

Brent McCluskey - Electrified Reviews Thanks! It's 100 pounds empty and we carry up to about 200 pounds more depending on the project. We clean the windows on 7 and 8 story buildings out of our cargo bikes ha ha so much fun... Free parking everywhere! No traffic! Instagram "purewaterpurebike" for photos. The Mariner is the 500 watt nominal version. It's surprisingly powerful! I didn't use my truck once in 2017! 2,500 km total. We're putting together some videos of our cargo bike business at our KZbin channel "Urban Cargo Bikes". Thanks for the question. All the best!

[@casycasy5199]

how do you like the voltbike im thinking of getting that model

[@nettoyageadriance]

Love it! I'm 220 pounds, 6 foot 5 and have used and abused the thing so far. It's taken a pounding. Also, I'm always blown away by George of Voltbike.ca. He really comes through with after purchase customer service.

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

What is a good psi for 20 x 4 tires for on road use to avoid issues like pinch flats but have comfort as well?

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

10 -15 psi

[@snowylucky2000]

Can you do a video about add motor motan m-150 possible upgrades. I have a 2017 model and I want to change the crankset to a Shimano or SRAM. I know that I need a 170mm, single speed, 48 Teeth, But I need to know what the Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD) for these bikes is? Any recommendations on crankset in correct size would be great.

[@MrCapeswiss]

I am 6'3ft, will the bike be ok for me.

[@Bonjour-World]

Never assume: Geared motor ?

[@freakydeakydutch69]

How does it do on mountain trails?

[@tompaah7503]

Love your reviews. No matter how crappy a bike is you seem so positive. The bike can be bought off Alibaba for less than half the price. And even that seems too much for that pile of junk. Communication problems, unclear what you're getting. Frame flex and wobble. Back heavy. Steel fenders. Nothing fits without the need to bend the parts. Delays in the assist. LOL.

[@nikki_skys6089]

Hey Brent and Court, Why don’t you guys do a trip to China... Visit the Shanghai bike fair and meet some Chinese manufacturers. Knowing how Chinese are, they will welcome you guys to visit and get to know them better.

[@julianlupolover2181]

Can you put a surf rack on this bike

[@muzzmacc6411]

I enjoy watching your channel, but I think you should have begun the review with the action shots that appear at 23:00. That bike looks like a lot of fun. Your channel should feature elbow / knee protection. Theres going to be a lot of people buying e-bikes, many of whom may not have been near a bike in years. Should be plenty of manufacturers willing to send you body protection to test. Maybe the body protection will evolve into something more casual/ 'street'? Cheers!

[@littlered1534]

I'm buying it soon

[@jsworl]

Would this fit someone who is 5'?

[@tooxtalivai0690]

Made in the US or China?

[@Mullikia]

18:00 Seriously? The back wheel is that much out of balance?

[@amielianomar1479]

What is the maximum speed for that bike

[@mnhsty]

Victor Bueno At least twice he said 20mph.

[@quangyung6751]

Where's Court?

[@alexanderhamilton8585]

That's an E-MOJO LYNX.

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

Smaller battery

[@gr4ntbikes570]

Rad mini is a way better buy.

[@DmitriNesteruk]

These fenders simply will *not* protect you from mud. Who came up with such a ridiculous idea?

[@4nlimited3dition_4n3d]

The chinese make these with a ton of different length fenders, I ordered mine with the long ones. Not from Addmotor though, straight from the factory.

[@BrightMomentsNOLA]

Right, they are completely useless. I bought the plastic ones they have for another version and just had to bend the mounting bracket for the rear fender to make it work..

[@MrTimmmers]

No hills/

[@jeremyjez4202]

I purchased two m150 bikes. Check out my review.

[@HakanMUSTAFAKEMALATATURK]

In finland same looking one is 800e at verkkokauppa.com with usb

[@davidsenay1913]

Mine came missing bolts for the wheel and nothing to connect the front fender
