I've lost count of how many of these no-name Chinese ebikes there are. It seems like every YouTuber out there is shilling for one. The vast majority will be e-waste and destined for the landfill within 1-2 years. There will be no parts availability and no support after that time. The company will have disappeared, while several new, fly-by-night companies will pop up to take its place. Knowing their products are garbage and only designed for the short term, this is how they avoid any liability. Try suing a Chinese company that no longer exists.
This fat-tire electric dirt bike is pitched as a powerful, heavy-duty ride with strong acceleration, disc brakes, and a solid build. Real-world feedback puts the weight around 80 to 82 pounds, and the motor feels capable, with one ride reaching about 28 mph under load and 36 mph only with the rear wheel off the ground. The main concerns are that the 2,500 watt and 36 mph claims look overstated, the range may be far below the advertised 65 miles, and charging or seller support could be unreliable. It also raises legal questions in states that cap e-bikes at 28 mph or 750 watts.
Off-road riders wanting a fast throttle bike, because it has strong acceleration and can reach the high 20s under load with a higher no-load top speed.
Buyers needing a legal street e-bike in California or Illinois, because the speed and power exceed common e-bike class limits and may require registration.
The bike may be illegal in some states, including Illinois and California, because speed and power limits can trigger motorcycle or moped requirements.
It likely does not qualify as a legal e-bike in either state because the listed 36 mph top speed exceeds typical class limits. California also limits e-bikes to 750W and class 3 assistance to 28 mph, while Illinois would treat it more like a motorcycle/moped requiring registration, insurance, and a license.
The 36 mph claim appears to be a no-load or peak figure, not a real-world riding speed. One rider reported about 26 mph most of the time and 28 mph with a 210 lb rider, while 36 mph was only seen with the rear wheel propped off the ground.
The 2500W figure is described as a peak rating, while the motor is effectively a 750W continuous unit. That means the advertised wattage can be a short burst output rather than the sustained power you ride with.
Yes, but it depends on how you ride it. It can be used with the motor disabled or in low PAS so you do most of the work, but the non-adjustable seat and heavy 80+ lb build make it a poor choice for comfortable pedaling or knee-friendly exercise.
The pedals are present, but they are described as more decorative than exercise-focused. A lockout for the pedals was asked about, but no working pedal-lock feature is confirmed in the comments.
Pedals make it legal? What if you don't want them to move- is there a way to lock them?
You'd replace the crank, chain and sprocket with pegs, but then it would probably need to be registered because it's no longer legally a "bike". In this case, it never was because of the 36 mph top speed (fastest e-bike is a class 3 with 28 mph, and that's only with pedaling, with throttle, you are maxed out at 20mph in class 2).
Friendly reminder: Avoid cheap "e-bikes", e-mopeds, and e-moto from brands you've never heard of! They are most likely unsafe, poorly made, and the company will disappear once enough lawsuits and fines stack up.
This thing is actually a moped too, so it's not legally an electric bicycle in any place that I'm aware of.

its a motor controller, a motor and a battery. If you get a fat tire it may take a while online to get the right size but I've replaced my controller (it didn't break, I wanted a different one) rewired it, and there are no parts that you can't replace easily.
I ordered this for my son a week ago. It arrived in 4 days from Fontana, California via FedEx. Easy to assemble. Solid and heavy. 80 lbs sounds correct. I'm 210 lbs and can get it to 28 mph, but mostly tops out around 26 mph. Under no load (rear tire propped off the ground) it gets to 36 mph. I can't vouch for the range yet. Disc brakes work well. Seems well built. Good acceleration. Fun. The reviews on Amazon are most definitely fake.

Sure. That may be true right now, but talk to me in a couple of years when the company changes its name or is sold to someone else and disappears. A motor controller, battery, and motors are not a universal fit.

Thanks for the info. My 1000w motor with 1500w peak has the same max speed... 28mph. It's probably a similar rear hub motor. Seems very strange to have a 750w motor get overclocked to 2500w peaks. 1500w peak sounds much more realistic.

Off-road riders wanting a fast throttle bike, because it has strong acceleration and can reach the high 20s under load with a higher no-load top speed.
Riders who want a motor-assisted bike for short, low-effort commutes, because the motor can do most of the work while pedaling stays optional.
Tinkerers who like serviceable components, because the controller, motor, and battery can be replaced or rewired without special parts knowledge.
Riders who want a true exercise bike, because the pedals are decorative-feeling and the seat setup makes pedaling awkward for knees.
Buyers needing a legal street e-bike in California or Illinois, because the speed and power exceed common e-bike class limits and may require registration.
Riders expecting the advertised top speed and range, because it may not reach 36 mph and can fall far short on a charge.
Long-term owners who need dependable support, because the company may disappear and leave parts, compatibility, and service uncertain.
