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 stands out for its heavy, solid build, strong acceleration, and off road styling, with disc brakes that work well and easy assembly. Real world reports put the top speed closer to 26 to 28 mph with a 210 pound rider, while 36 mph appears only with the rear wheel off the ground. Range is still unverified, and there are concerns about fake reviews, charging problems, and weak long term support. The legal fit is also questionable in places with strict e bike rules, making it a rugged but complicated ride.
Riders who want a fast off-road toy, because the motor and top-speed claims point to a machine that prioritizes speed over exercise.
Commuters needing a legal public-road e-bike in California or Illinois, because the speed and power claims exceed common class limits and may require registration.
Buyers expecting a proven, long-term purchase, because the listing reviews look fake and the brand may disappear before parts and support remain available.
At 36 mph and 2500W peak, it does not fit typical Class 1/2/3 e-bike limits. Comments specifically say it would be treated as a moped or motorcycle in many places, with registration, insurance, and licensing potentially required, and California/Illinois were called out as not legal for road use as an e-bike.
Yes, but only if you actually pedal it and use a low assist setting or disable the motor. The bike is described as heavy and moped-like, with some noting the pedals are mostly decorative and the non-adjustable seat would make pedaling awkward for exercise.
It may reach the claim only with no load or ideal conditions; one rider reported about 26 mph normally and 28 mph with a 210 lb rider, while 36 mph appeared only with the rear wheel off the ground. Other comments say the listing's speed claim is likely overstated and may be closer to the high-20s in real use.
No, the 2500W figure is described as a peak rating, not continuous output. The motor is characterized as a true 750W continuous motor with brief peak bursts, which is why the real-world speed looks closer to other 750W bikes.
The visible reviews were called fake because the reviewers also reviewed unrelated products and the dates appeared batch-posted. That means the listing has little legitimate review history, so it is smart to inspect the bike carefully and test it within the return window if you buy it.
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.
