This is a big 20 inch fat tire off road ebike that stands out for its smooth ride, quick assembly, and strong value at around $350. The build feels solid, the full suspension and fat tires draw praise, and the menu settings can unlock more speed, with some units reaching 28 to 31 mph. The main concerns are uneven quality control, including stuck batteries, throttle errors, hot charging bricks, scratched or dented parts, and suspension that may not be adjustable. Pedaling is awkward because the seat does not adjust and the pedals sit high, so it suits motor assisted riding more than regular biking.
Common Questions (5)
Real-world top speed is often lower than the listing, with reports around 21-28 mph depending on settings, rider weight, and tracking method; some riders do reach 31 mph. The advertised 65-mile range is also doubted after a 13-mile ride on higher assist levels.
No seat adjustment and very high pedals make it awkward to pedal unless you stand up, and the bike is large enough that shorter riders may struggle to fit it. It is better suited to riding with motor assist than to pedaling like a normal bicycle.
The listing photo claims a 48V 15Ah UL2849-certified battery, but the certification and cell quality are unverified. The charging brick also gets very hot in use, so charging on concrete away from anything flammable is a practical precaution.
The battery can be difficult to remove because it may be stuck in place even with the keys/cards inserted. That makes swapping or upgrading less straightforward until the release issue is resolved.
Hold the up and down arrows together, then use the middle button to reach P08 and raise the speed limit. Units reported going from about 21-22 mph up to 28 mph, with some riders later seeing 31 mph after menu changes.

Only downside is that my twist throttle doesn't work and the display says E08 (throttle error)... but I like the thumb push throttles better anyway, so I ordered a $10 one from Amazon and I'm hoping that fixes the issue.
The bike is BIG... definitely for a 5'8"+ rider... however the pedals are very HIGH... so awkward to pedal but I got used to it within 10 minutes.
Ride is smooth, fun, and easy. I need to adjust the assisted pedal delay (takes a few seconds to kick in and I want it instant) and a few other things.
If anyone plays with the menu and finds out more tricks or how to unlock more power... please comment!!
Also, I rode for 13 miles today using level 5 to level 2. I seriously doubt the advertised 65 mile range.
Good build quality though.
Pedals are in position that makes pedaling quite awkward. Seat has no adjustment.
I'd be interested in what you other buyers are experiencing. Is there a way to get the 31mph?
Oh, and wtf is the thumbs down on a lot of the remarks on this post? Do we have a grinch or 2 out there?

For some reason some troll likes to get on ebike related threads and just downvote nearly everyone, it's something I've seen for a long time. Probably one of the people yelling about about the illicit power levels and such.
My bike's screen came with a dented corner, wonder how the seller will respond..

**of note, just given it's speed, weight, and quirkiness with popping to max throttle, this is not something you would give a kid. at least not a kid that you wouldn't otherwise give a 250cc dirtbike with a tricky throttle to. gifting this to a kid like a bmx for use in the neighborhood without knowing they are capable and careful is a major TBI waiting to happen, imo.
I'm also curious what others are experiencing so far! i was looking online and couldn't find much. doesn't even seem to be the option to leave a review on aliexpress. i'm assuming this was cloned from some other bike so doesn't have a huge presence online, or it's in chinese somewhere.

bummer bout your screen, the way mind was packaged i could tell something might have been trying to bang up against it but it wasn't damaged. good luck with seller...
And yes, there is definitely a few fun police people on here clamoring about how horrible these are. To each their own. i kind of think of it like a dirt bike. yes it's dangerous, and that's why you take necessary precautions and have fun and live a little. They probably work for Giant or city counsel or something.
