Adding an eco-conscious aspect to your ride, the SOLETAN cruiser bike is one of Addmotor’s best electric bikes for adults. It’s an excellent daily driver for commuters, delivery riders, and anyone who needs to run small errands around town.
Despite being designed as a city cruiser, the SOLETAN e-bike performs surprisingly well outdoors and off the beaten path. It’s packed with cool features and is one of Addmotor’s hidden gems.
So, do you want to find out if the SOLETAN fits into your lifestyle? Chances are high that it can adapt to most rider personalities and use cases, as long as you don’t mind a two-wheeled e-bike.
Despite what many people think, the Addmotor SOLETAN is surprisingly versatile. It can help you travel to most places and accomplish a variety of tasks without relying on a car or truck.
Sure, it may not be an eTrike that can carry hundreds of pounds or tow a trailer, but it’s no children’s toy. The SOLETAN is right there at the top when it comes to utility, fun and comfort.
Here are some of the best use cases and rider personalities that match the SOLETAN. If these describe your situation, you can be sure the SOLETAN will be a great fit for you.
Daily Commuting: The SOLETAN city cruiser e-bike is perfect for beating traffic and getting to your workplace on time. As a two-wheeled eBike, it takes up less space on the road, allowing you to weave through traffic and take shortcuts to reach your office. Plus, you can ride the throttle to avoid tiring yourself and making it to the office drenched in sweat.
Shopping and Running Errands: Apart from commuting, the SOLETAN excels at running small errands and mini shopping sprees. You can ride almost anywhere in the city and attach pannier bags and cargo racks to carry everything you need. It’s a great companion for a single adult to carry out their shopping and daily tasks.
Picnics, and Other Outdoor Adventures: The SOLETAN is perfect for exploring the great outdoors alone or with a friend. It has impressive off-roading capabilities thanks to its fat tires and full suspension system. You can easily ride to the beach, park trails, and other destinations, even with an adult passenger.
Exercise and Fitness: The SOLETAN features both a throttle and 7 levels of pedal assist, allowing you to customize the electrical assistance to suit your needs. If you want to break a sweat and get some exercise, you can switch to a lower PAS and do most of the riding yourself. Conversely, if you’re tired and need to take it slow, you can switch to a higher PAS assistance or use the throttle.
Ditching Your Car or Public Transportation: The SOLETAN eBike offers the perfect middle ground between a car and public transport. It’s significantly more affordable than a car and provides greater flexibility than public buses and trains. So if you’re looking to be more eco-conscious and travel on your own terms, the SOLETAN cruiser electric bike is an excellent choice.
Delivering Food and Packages: The SOLETAN is ideal for food delivery services like Doordash and Uber Eats. The SOLETAN has enough speed and battery range to keep riding all day. Also, it has enough power and maneuverability to let you make deliveries in record time.
As you can tell, the SOLETAN has a lot going for it. It’s perfect for the everyday user and professional rider.
Besides, despite looking like a 1970s-inspired cruiser bike, the SOLETAN doesn’t shy away from off-road terrain. It can handle the beach and unpaved roads with the same intensity as well-paved roads.
So in keeping up with that, it’s important to highlight one of SOLETAN’s best features: the all-terrain capable fat tires.
The Addmotor SOLETAN electric bicycle features thick, robust Kenda fat tires with a 20” diameter and 4” width
Why fat tires? Because the SOLETAN is all about versatility. Although they slightly compromise on speed, the fat tires ensure you can keep riding longer. They are less likely to get stuck in off road conditions and minimize the chances of the eBike flipping over.
These Kenda fat tires are designed with three protective layers for the inner tube. There’s the outer tread for traction and off-roading, plus two inner layers that act as puncture-resistant armor.
Also, these fat tires are surprisingly durable. On city streets, they can last between 2,000 and 3,000 miles, depending on how frequently you ride and the quality of maintenance.
One of its more underrated features, the SOLETAN electric bike is one of the few options that includes a fully-fledged suspension system.
By full suspension, it’s not just the front forks. The SOLETAN goes further by featuring additional shock absorbers in the rear.

This full-suspension setup significantly enhances the riding experience and ensures comfort. It improves stability by 50% and allows you to navigate harsh terrain without fear of falling off.
Also, it’s great for keeping the rear passenger comfortable. The shock absorbers in the rear prevent any vibrations from traveling up to the seat, reducing discomfort and the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs).
We mentioned that the SOLETAN is perfect for two-person adventures, and this isn’t just a claim. The SOLETAN comes equipped with a 23.5-inch long banana saddle and a 300-lb weight capacity that can comfortably accommodate two adults.
With the SOLETAN, you can easily give a lift to a friend or family member. While it might not be the most comfortable option out of the box, a few adjustments can make it a great passenger e-bike for two adults.
Besides, when riding alone, the banana seat allows you to scoot back and find a more comfortable position. This can help prevent discomfort in your glutes and enable you to ride for longer periods.
The SOLETAN has Addmotor’s flagship 750W rear-mounted hub motor, the same setup used in high-end eTrikes and eBikes.
This hub motor has a continuous power rating of 750W and delivers a maximum torque pull of 80 Nm. It can maintain top speeds (usually around 20mph) even on steep inclines and rocky paths.
So if you’re worried about speed and power don’t be. The SOLETAN is optimized to get you rolling quickly. It’s an excellent choice for professional riders, busy commuters, and off-road enthusiasts.
Battery performance is impressive on the SOLETAN. Despite the extra weight, the 48V/20Ah battery is more than enough for all-day riding.
With this battery pack, the SOLETAN can pull around 105+ miles on pedal assist (PAS) level 1, maintaining a speed of 8 mph on a single charge.
This range is good enough for most commuters and delivery riders. While it may be right on the edge for bikepackers and full-time explorers, they can always carry an extra battery to double the range.
The battery pack on the SOLETAN is easily removable and secures the eBike via a key. You can easily swap it out whenever you need it.
The battery pack is rated for 1000-1500 charge cycles and comes with a battery charger that can top up the battery in 8-10 hours. It’s also worth mentioning that the pack comes with original Samsung Li-Ion cells.
The SOLETAN might not be the most futuristic-looking e-bike that Addmotor offers, but it boasts impressive features that are hard to criticize.
For instance, the full suspension, fat-tire setup, and banana saddle are excellent additions. These enhance the functionality and versatility of the SOLETAN e-bike, making it an ideal cruiser bike for everyday riding.
It may not be a workhorse or speedrunner like some high-end eBikes. Even so, it’s a great mid-range option for anyone looking to ditch their car and gain more independence.
