Fat-tire electric bikes are a dime a dozen nowadays, but which are the best?

From stable and user-friendly bike path cruisers to high powered bruisers built for hunting and heavy off-road use, e-bikes with fat tires are having a bit of a moment right now. Whatever your reason for wanting a fat tire e-bike, the Electric Bike Report staff of experts and bike geeks have tested some of the best money can buy. And while there are many worthy competitors, we wanted to showcase our choices for the best fat tire electric bikes of 2023 based off of our extensive testing and riding.

Birthed from Alaskan snow and New Mexican sand, the ancestors of modern fat bikes first came about in the 90’s as a means to explore (and race) in terrain unkind to your typical bicycle tire. Think mud, deep sand and soft snow. They’ve had high-points of popularity in recent years, but it wasn’t until the rise of the electric bike that we saw the masses rolling around on fat tires. Motors made the heavy, relatively inefficient bikes more friendly to ride and people seem to like the big tires because they give you a feeling of confidence and stability — not to mention many think they just look cool. Their popularity has exploded, and fat tires have been adopted into nearly every category of e-bike.

So which fat tire e-bike is best for you? That’s a tough question with an answer that differs from person to person. We’ve compiled this list of our picks for the best fat tire electric bikes to help you suss out your best bike based on your specific needs.

While this list is comprised of e-bikes that check in with no less than 3” wide tires, you can also check out our picks for the best overall electric bikes of 2023 if you want a little more variety in tire size.

Aventon Aventure 2

The Best Class 3 Electric Fat Bike, 2023

A disruptive model when it first came into the fat-tire e-bike world, the Aventon Aventure set a new high bar for what consumers could expect from a sub-2,000 electric fat bike when it first entered the market, and the followup Aventure 2 built upon that legacy. While many of its contemporaries have caught up in certain aspects, the Aventure 2 still stands out.

It’s not just the 750W Bafang rear hub motor or the 720Wh fully-integrated battery that have us so enamored with this electric fatty, it’s also that Aventon managed to chock it full of little features and extras that are still somewhat uncommon on many e-bikes in this category. It’s got a torque sensor which both allows for a more natural feel, and also gives it better battery efficiency making you go further without a larger, heavier battery. Throw in a full-color LCD display, metal fenders, a full Shimano Altus drivetrain, Tektro hydraulic brakes and, to top it all off, it’s just a really nice riding bike. The handling is sporty without being overly athletic and, though it is a bit heavy, it handles light doubletrack surprisingly well.

It also comes available in a step-over and step-through frames with a selection of good looking colors to choose from (a standout feature in a sea of black and white fat bikes).

The Aventure ships as a Class 2 e-bike, but like most of the bikes on this list it’s easily convertible to Class 3 through an app that paris to your bike, which gives it a top pedal-assisted speed of 28 mph. We’ve tested and even compared this bike head-to-head against some of its biggest competitors, and the results don’t lie: It’s a new breed of affordable electric fat bike.

To put it short, we’re really big fans of the Aventure and we think you would be too which is why it leads off our list of the best fat tire electric bikes of 2023.

Pro’s

  • Unlocked to Class 3, this is an extremely fast and torquey e-bike.
  • The full-color LCD display is great and features a percentage based battery readout
  • The 720Wh battery is efficiency used for great range thanks to the torque sensor
  • It’s got a unique styling for a fat e-bike that reminds us of another Aventon we really liked, the Level.

Con’s

  • At 77lbs (we reviewed a large with the optional front and included rear racks), the Aventure is slightly heavier than many of its peers.

The Mokwheel Basalt

This beast of an e-bike has the brawn to carry its rider just about anywhere witha strong motor and 450 lbs payload capacity, and can be accompanied by some seriously impressive optional accessories.

Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus

The Best Class 2 Electric Fat Bike, 2023

We’ve long been fans of Rad Power Bikes’ RadRover line and many e-bikes on this list owe some thanks to the Rover for helping popularize fat tires into the mainstream. While there was plenty to appreciate with past iterations of the Rover, the RadRover 6 Plus is a marked upgrade over its predecessors in such a way that it demands to be seriously considered among anybody’s list for the best electric fat tire bikes.

There is a noticeable aesthetic overhaul compared to previous models that is largely credited to the new semi-integrated battery housed in a more modern, angular frame. There is also a unique dual display in the center and left of the cockpit that’s functional and just plain different.

But looks aren’t all that’s new here. Rad also added hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors to bolster the stopping power and keep riders more in control when needing to come to a stop.

In a category of e-bike that’s often singularly-focused on speed and raw power, the Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus takes a different, more measured approach. It’s got a 750W rear hub motor that’s very similar to what you’ll find on many other bikes on this list of the best fat tire e-bikes, but the power delivery from that motor is much more gentle, particularly at low speeds. What this does is give the bike a very predictable and controllable power delivery that’s friendly to new riders or those who want a bike that’s easy to ride, all while still being plenty torquey to help you summit hilly areas.

If you want easily-controllable power from a bike that’s backed by an industry-leading e-bike company, the RadRover 6 plus may be the best choice for you.

Pro’s

  • The 750W motor feels refined – it’s got plenty of torque but it delivers it smoothly.
  • The 672Wh battery delivers impressive range even for its size.
  • The hydraulic disc brakes performed very well in our testing, and they added it to the newest Rover model while keeping the price relatively affordable.
  • While it may be subjective, we really love the new look of the redesigned RadRover.

Con’s

  • The LED screen on the left is noticeably less bright than the center one.
  • The cable management feels a bit messy.

The Blix Ultra

With speed, power, and a myriad of options to add versatility, the Blix Ultra is practical and completely fun to ride.

Lectric XP 3.0

Best Ultra Affordable Electric Fat Bike, 2023

The Lectric XP 2.0 already stood out by proving to be a quality folding bike with a solid spread of features at a very reasonable price. The combined package of integrated features such as the rear cargo rack, lights, suspension, and fenders is something you would only expect to see on more expensive models. Now Lectric has raised the bar even further by packing the new XP 3.0 full of upgrades and new features, while keeping the bike at the same price of around a thousand dollars.

The new Lectric XP 3.0 features a motor with increased peak wattage and torque for better hill climbing, a better gear ratio for ease of pedaling, larger brake rotors for better stopping power, an improved suspension for a more comfortable ride, and optional accessories for increased passenger capacity.

All of that capability on a bike that can fold up and fit behind a seat or in a trunk made it easy to choose the Lectric XP 3.0 for the best fat tire e-bike of 2023!

Pro’s

  • The XP 3.0 only adds to the already great value of the previous model. For the same price, the 3.0 offers upgrades to the baseline integrated features and even adds new ones.
  • While the motor on the XP 3.0 is still a 500W rear-hub, it now features an increased 55Nm of torque and 1000W peak output.
  • An improved gear ratio and larger high gear result in a more efficient application of rider input.
  • Increased brake rotor size – now 180mm instead of 160mm – gives more responsiveness and efficiency braking despite being mechanical instead of hydraulic disc brakes.
  • The 3.0’s suspension fork has an increased travel distance at 50mm, making for a smoother ride on- and off-road.
  • The weight capacity of the rear rack has doubled to a max of 150lbs, allowing for additional passenger capacity.

Con’s

  • We’d have loved to see the option to operate the XP 3.0 without its key in the bike, but that is one upgrade Lectric has not yet made.
  • While the 3.0’s grips are improved, we still would prefer something a bit softer.

The Velotric Nomad 1

With sleek design, excellent range, and plenty of power for speed and uphill travel, the Nomad 1 offers solid value for its price.

Mokwheel Basalt

The Best Fat Tire Electric Bike for Camping, 2023

Half the fun of camping is exploring the area visited. E-bikes offer campers the opportunity to go farther, see more and not be wiped out at the end of the day. The Mokwheel Basalt is unusual among e-bikes in that not only is it well-suited to off-road exploring, but it can serve as a valuable resource thanks to some of its unusual accessories. As a Class 3 e-bike with a maximum speed of 28 mph, it is terrific for getting around most anywhere.

The Mokwheel Basalt may not look all that unusual at first glance. It features a 750W brushless hub motor that can turn 90Nm of torque, making it suitable for riding steep hills, whether paved or not. The 110mm-travel suspension fork improves control on bumpy terrain and the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain helps both uphill and down. Hydraulic disc brakes offer terrific power even on steep downhills and Chaoyang 26 x 4-in. tires provide the necessary cushion and traction for exploring the backcountry.

What really sets the Mokwheel Basalt apart is its massive 940Wh battery that can power a 1000W power inverter that has the ability to run such essentials as phone chargers, coffee makers, electric grills and laptops. Planning to be gone more than a day or two? Mokwheel also offers a solar charger to keep the juice running to those essentials.

Riders can also choose between a traditional frame and a step-thru design. Because it has a 450-lb. payload capacity, campers who want to go bag dinner can carry it back to camp as well. This is ideal for anyone planning to go camping but still wants electricity.

Not only is it the best fat tire electric bike for camping, it’s just a good fat option period.

Pro’s

  • 750W brushless hub motor has the power and torque necessary to climb hills and deliver riders to a maximum assisted speed of 28 mph for spirited riding
  • Comes in both a traditional frame and a step-thru to fit a broad range of riders
  • Can power a number of electric appliances while camping with the help of the optional 1000W power inverter
  • 4-in.-wide tires and a front suspension fork make for a very comfortable ride
  • 450-lb. payload capacity makes it terrific for hunters wanting to bring home their game

Con’s

The Aventon Sinch

With its low step-thru frame, big tires and suspension fork, this is a comfortable and easy to ride e-bike perfect for accompanying you on road trips and outdoor adventures.

Himiway Cruiser

Best Long Range Electric Fat Bike, 2023

If any bike on this list has earned a cult following, it’s the Himiway Cruiser.

Loved for its sheer power and massive 840Wh battery, the Cruiser is the brute of the fat-tire e-bike category. While many 750W bikes curb power at low speeds (like when you’re starting from a stop) and roll it on as you accelerate, the Himiway seemingly gives you access to all 750W from the gun. If you’re looking for speed, this bike is a lot of fun.

Backing up that power is a larger-than-average 840Wh battery that gives this bike a great range on a single charge. To be clear: you can find larger batteries on other fat tire e-bikes (even on this best fat tire e-bike list). Heck, some even have dual battery setups. But most of those larger standard batteries will run the price of the bike over 2,000, so the Cruiser hits a sweet spot for us in terms of value and providing long rides. Our Max PAS range test yielded a 44 mile ride before the battery gave out which is a pretty impressive number.

The Cruiser also comes spec’d with a Shimano Altus drivetrain, Tektro Aires mechanical brakes and a fender and light package that’s comparable to other bikes in this category. It does also come stock with a rear rack, which is a nice feature if you’re looking to lug some cargo, and it’s backed up by a 2-year warranty.

Like most others, this bike ships as a Class 2 e-bike but can easily be adjusted to Class 3. If you’re in the market for a rocket ship of an e-bike the Himiway Cruiser might be worth a look.

Pro’s

  • The 48V 17.5Ah battery provides plenty of range. Even for a bigger, stronger e-bike, you can expect many miles on a single charge.
  • Super powerful e-bike that you feel the moment you start pedaling. If you are someone who likes power, you are going to like this e-bike.
  • The fat tires smoothly roll over surfaces with ease.
  • The bike was very stable, even at high speeds and we had high levels of traction on nearly every surface.

Con’s

  • Slight delay in pedal assistance when you start pedaling. There is about a one second motor lag.
  • PAS has a lot of power and gets you up to speed quickly, but we would have liked a little more variation in how much speed you get amongst the different assist levels.

The Denago Fat 1

With its 750W motor and huge 921.6Wh battery, this speedy newcomer has proven that it can go the distance.

Velotric Nomad 1

The Best Fat Tire Electric Bike for E-Bike Newbies

For those new to the world of e-bikes, making a purchase can be intimidating. For most consumers, getting the most bang for your buck is essential, especially when it comes to versatility, performance, and quality. Fortunately, the folks at Velotric seem to understand this struggle and have accounted for the balance of those three considerations with their latest release.

Having entered the e-bike market in 2021 through a crowdfunding campaign, Velotric had to make a bold statement in order to stand out. Its first bike, the Discover 1, was a respectably-specced, visually appealing e-bike with good performance geared towards commuters. For their second entry, the Nomad 1, Velotric has retained the Discover’s attractive geometry and flashy colors while opening up the bike’s possibilities with off-road capability.

best, tire, electric, bikes, 2023

While some of the Nomad 1’s components are unfamiliar to us, the core elements of the motor and battery bear the mark of quality. Both feature some remarkable boosts in efficiency thanks to Velotric’s team of highly experienced engineers, allowing the Nomad 1’s 750W motor and relatively standard 48V, 692 Wh battery to work together to provide plenty of uphill power and truly impressive range.

With a simple and straightforward interface, both step-thru and high-step frame styles, and a nice spectrum of integrated features, the Nomad 1 offers functionality for a wide range of riders and provides great value while doing so.

Pro’s

  • The Nomad 1’s angular design and refreshing variety of six color options split between its two frame styles go a long way in making this stylish e-bike stand out from the crowd.
  • We were surprised and impressed by the Nomad 1’s range, a feature granted by Velotric’s efficient tuning of the motor and battery systems.
  • The bike’s PAS provides measured increases in assistance at lower levels for casual riding, but kicks up the power in higher levels when you need more speed or assistance on inclines.
  • The Nomad 1’s proprietary 750W motor is beefy enough to push the bike up just about any hill with limited input from the rider.
  • The bike’s fat tires and suspension fork provide stability and traction for travel on dirt and paved surfaces alike.
  • With its price tag in the neighborhood of 1500, the Nomad 1 provides the features and performance of similar e-bikes closer to the 2000 range.

Con’s

  • While it does the job of relating the battery’s charge level, the bar-style readout on the Nomad 1’s display is less reliable and accurate as percentage-based versions we have come to appreciate.

The Rad Power RadRover 6 Plus

The RadRover 6 Plus offers a full complement of reliable components and solid performance, making it a great choice for new e-bike riders.

Blix Ultra

The Best Fat Tire Electric Bike for Dual Battery Needs, 2023

Whether you need to travel extreme distances, haul a fair amount of cargo, bring along an additional passenger, or all three simultaneously – you’ll need the battery power to do it. No other fat tire e-bike is going to cover these bases better than the Blix Ultra, thanks to its dual battery capability.

The Blix Ultra can hold two 48V, 672 Wh batteries for a claimed range of up to 80 miles, which our testing supports. Dual batteries are not uncommon in the world of e-bikes, though they do usually appear on models that are more dedicated to one kind of functionality (such as cargo bikes). Even among Blix’s lineup, the Ultra shares its dual battery capability with two of its more specialized siblings, but it stands apart from them due to its greater adaptability and versatility.

Fat tire e-bikes in general aim to be more all-purpose machines thanks to their ability to travel on rougher surfaces just as well as paved paths. The Blix Ultra raises the bar with a range of optional accessories that expand its cargo and/or passenger capacity, without changing the core elements of the fat tire design. On its own, the Ultra’s 750W motor and PAS system make it a speed demon, but also give it the power and tuning to effectively haul additional weight.

The Ultra’s ability to hold two batteries equals greater range and lasting assistance from the motor even under load. That’s why this e-bike is our only pick for this category!

Pro’s

  • Customizability is the greatest feature of the Ultra, with the ability to double its range by connecting two batteries, or adding racks for added cargo/passenger capacity.
  • The Ultra connects to the Blix Bike app through Bluetooth, allowing a phone to function as a secondary display, and making it easy to switch from Class 2 to Class 3 mode.
  • The 750W motor and PAS system is designed to support additional weight, and can bring the bike up to top speeds quickly even at low settings.
  • Unlike other dual battery-capable e-bikes, the Ultra’s suspension fork and fat tires make it possible to travel off-road easily.
  • To complement its cargo hauling capabilities, the Ultra’s top tube is functionally a hybrid between high-step and step-thru designs. It gives the bike a more aggressive look appropriate for its speed and power.
  • The Ultra’s cockpit is arranged well, so that all of its controls are easily accessible.

Con’s

  • While it helps to keep the cockpit layout compact, the Ultra’s tiny display is not able to display a full scope of information simultaneously.
  • The Ultra’s extended wheelbase (for a fat tire bike) increases stability for cargo hauling, but it also makes turns more difficult.

Rad Power Bikes RadExpand 5

The Best Electric Fat Bike for Smaller Riders

Finding an e-bike that fits you isn’t just important when it comes to color, riding style, or personality. Proper size and proportion is important to ensure that the mechanics of the human body are used effectively in concert with those of the bike, and use does not result in pain or injury. For smaller riders, finding an appropriately-sized e-bike can be challenging due to the abundance of large, full-size frames on the market, and in some cases, options that do fit may sacrifice features or functionality.

Enter the Rad Power Bikes RadExpand 5. This compact, foldable e-bike evolved from the RadMini 4 in some surprising ways, leaning into the fact that it is an e-bike first, and a folding bike second. In addition to a rad-(get it?)-ically different frame design, the RadExpand features quality components, a stout frame, a respectable 672Wh battery with good range, a powerful 750W rear hub motor for speed and hill-climbing, and even a solid rear cargo rack, all at a great price.

For riders within the 4’10” to 5’10” height bracket, this means you won’t have to make sacrifices. The RadExpand 5 is a fully functional e-bike in a fun size, and the fact that it folds for transport or storage is just one additional feature to appreciate.

We do wish the RadExpand had held on to the RadMini 4’s LCD display instead of eschewing it for a simplified indicator panel, but the change doesn’t have any effect on the bike’s actual performance. Bottom line: the RadExpand is a great choice for those looking for a smaller e-bike.

Pro’s

  • Instead of the narrow, somewhat shaky handlebar system on the old model, the RadExpand 5 has a great BMX-style setup that is wider, sturdier, and still able to fold down.
  • While it is still relatively heavy for a folding bike, its 62 lb frame does collapse down to a manageable size for storage and transport.
  • As a Rad Power bike, you know you’re purchasing a quality product with reliable components.
  • The RadExpand features great specs for the price. Its component package of a 672 Wh battery, 750W motor, 7-speed drivetrain, and effective brakes (though they are mechanical) is a good deal on a bike from a tried and tested brand.
  • The bike’s handling is responsive, nimble, and smooth, making it great for experienced riders and novices alike.
  • As with other Rad Power bikes, the motor input is gradual and intuitive, allowing the bike to always feel under your control.

Con’s

  • The velcro strap included with the RadExpand effectively holds its two halves together when folded, but we’d love to see a more permanent feature installed on the frame.
  • While the light-based indicator panel works fine for showing PAS level, lights, etc., we can’t help but feel that a full LCD display would have been better.

The Blix Dubbel

With a rider height range of 5’ 0” to 6′ 2”, the Blix Dubbel offers lots of versatility to a wide range of riders including some on the smaller end of the spectrum.

Himiway Cobra

The Best All-Terrain Electric Fat Bike, 2023

While many fat tire e-bikes are labeled and marketed as all-terrain machines, few actually come with the equipment to back that up. The Himiway Cobra, however, boasts a full four-bar linkage suspension and coil suspension more akin to something you’d find on a true mountain bike. This allows it to handle larger bumps and rougher terrain that would be jarring and difficult for riders on other fat tire bikes with just a front suspension fork.

The Himiway Cobra comes with all the features you’d expect for off-road capability; a torquey 750W rear hub motor with torque sensors for more intuitive control, a massive 20 Ah battery for extended range, 4.8” CST tires for loose terrain, and 180mm hydraulic disc brakes for effective stopping power.

With that said, the Cobra sits at a great price for what it brings to the table, but it’s important to remember that it is a hybrid sort of design and will not compare with a high-end dedicated mountain bike with top-shelf parts. The Cobra is meant as a “gateway” to off-roading, allowing its rider to approach exploring and adventuring worry-free. Think Jeep trails, double-track and fire roads.

As a fat tire e-bike with this extreme capability and affordable price tag, the Himiway Cobra is somewhat in a league of its own, which is why it’s our top pick for this category!

Pro’s

  • For its price of around 2500, the Himiway Cobra offers off-road performance comparable to more expensive, more dedicated e-bikes.
  • Even with Himiway’s first attempt at a four-bar suspension, the Cobra is surprisingly functional on more technical surfaces.
  • We appreciate seeing the upgrade from the mechanical disc brakes on the Himiway Cruiser to the hydraulic brakes on the Cobra.
  • The Cobra performs great on doubletrack and feels comfortable in rougher, off-road environments.
  • The 750W motor’s torque sensors make it appropriately responsive and precise for the bike’s natural habitat.
  • The (extra) fat 4.8” tires feel super stable when engaging with loose or slippery ground.
  • We really can’t say enough about the Cobra’s value!

Con’s

best, tire, electric, bikes, 2023
  • We felt the faux leather handlebar grips to be ill-suited to the bike’s need for precise control in more demanding environments.
  • A throttle is always a great feature on an e-bike, but we would prefer to see a lever instead of a twist control to avoid accidental activation.

The QuietKat Jeep

With the option for a massive 1,000W motor, and a beefy suspension, this higher end all-terrain bike truly lives up to its Jeep branding.

Aventon Sinch Step-Through

The Best Folding Fat Tire Electric Bike, 2023

While some of the other fat tire e-bikes on this page have also had the ability to fold, the Aventon Sinch does it just a bit better, making it a slightly more well-rounded machine. For this reason, it remains as our top pick in this category for the second year in a row.

Aventon’s Sinch is one of the more accessible e-bikes you’ll find on the fat tire market. The low stepover height of the frame and 20” diameter wheels don’t make it as intimidating for smaller riders to try out compared to many beefier fat tire bikes, but even 6’ riders will find joy on this bike too. The fact that it folds down and can be tossed in the back of most vehicles is a serious bonus.

We’re always hesitant to list aesthetic reasons for consideration on a best list as it’s easily the most subjective thing that varies from person to person, but both the green and red frames paired with the tan wall tires help the bike pop without being too flashy so you’ll have pride in riding around on a good looking bike.

But on e-bikes we know that looks fade while performance sustains and we like what the Sinch has under the hood as well. The 500W motor and 672Wh battery pair well to deliver 30-50 miles of range, the 20” X 4” fat tires are versatile enough for fire roads and paved riding alike, and the 45mm RST fork is sturdy while helping absorb some road vibration.

Now since this one is taking home the prize for best folding fat bike, let’s talk about the frame. Its overall construction is solid, and the miles we’ve logged on the Sinch have given us no concerns about the hinge that connects the front and rear half of the bike. Sometimes we see a little more flex there than we like, but that’s not been the case so far with the Sinch. The fact that this feels like a full-sized bike, but is capable of being fairly compact if you need to tuck it away in a corner will be a huge plus for many riders.

The Best 20-Inch Tire E-Bikes

When it comes to electric bikes. there are a lot of advantages that come with them. Aside from the fact that they allow for an easy riding experience, you can also have a clear conscience thanks to their eco-friendliness. On top of that, they can be lots of fun, too. One disadvantage you may have already considered is the fact that some of them can be a little less maneuverable than you’d like them to be. Like regular bicycles, e-bikes can be large and hard to carry on public transportation. Another issue is that the average-sized wheels on e-bikes can make them hard to maneuver and make sharp turns. especially if you’re riding in highly populated areas with lots of traffic and obstacles. The good news is that there are actually plenty of options if you’re looking for an e-bike with smaller wheels. Not only are 20-inch tire electric bikes easier to maneuver — they’re also way more portable than the standard ones. If you’ve been holding off on hopping on the e-bike train because you’re worried about portability and the other disadvantages of large tires, it may be time to reconsider. Table of Contents

Who Are 20-Inch Electric Bikes Best For?

A 20-inch e-bike is a great choice for many. That said, if you’re still unsure as to whether or not you really want or need a 20-inch wheel electric bike, we’ve put together a list of what they’re best for.

  • Easy to Transport and Store — A 20-inch e-bike is the most convenient choice for anyone who needs something compact that can be stored away or carried around. This includes students, office employees, and anyone with a small living space. This type of electric bike is also great for folks who ride public transportation or who have to climb steps or take the elevator whether at home, school, or work.
  • Pits, Farms, and Off-Road Trails — Whether you’re constantly moving across rough terrain as part of your day or you just enjoy getting out and having fun on your e-bike, a 20-inch option is perfect for off-road trails. The smaller wheel size offers great maneuverability and controls so you can enjoy your outdoors adventures.
  • Riders Who Are Shorter in Stature — Typically, 20-inch e-bike frames are lower to the ground. As such, they’re great for riders who might be shorter in stature, as well as older riders and folks with flexibility limitations.

It’s important to note that while 20-inch e-bikes might be the best choice for many riders, they’re not for everyone.

What to Look for in a 20-Inch E-Bike

Like with any electric bike, there are certain specs you’re going to want to keep in mind when choosing the right 20-inch e-bike for you. You’re also going to want to have a good idea of how their motors and batteries work.

E-Bike Wattage, Voltage, and Amperage

When look at an e-bike’s performance, you’re going to want to consider both its motor and its battery. Together, these components use watts, volts, and amps to create the energy that pushes your 20-inch e-bike forward.

  • Wattage refers to how much power an electric bike’s motor can put out. watts mean faster speeds.
  • Voltage is the capacity an e-bike motor can accept. Wattage ties directly to this, so you won’t be able to get the most out of your e-bike unless you have a compatible wattage and voltage.
  • Example: A voltage of 36v won’t unlock the full potential of a 1000w motor. For the best results, you’d need 48 or 52v.
  • Amperage is tied to your e-bike battery and refers to how much energy it can transfer to the motor with each charge.
  • Note: Once again, compatibility is important to get the most out of an e-bike’s motor and battery. A higher wattage/voltage will require a battery with higher amperage.
  • Smaller Wheels vs. Larger Wheels

    Maybe you’ve never even considered the fact that small wheels have a number of advantages over standard, larger wheels. We typically only imagine them on children’s bikes, but as it turns out, there are a lot of benefits to riding with smaller tires instead of larger ones.

    • Smaller tires make an e-bike way more compact and easier to transport. The most portable e-bikes are foldable e-bikes. and most of these tend to have tires that are 20 inches or smaller. This makes the bike lighter and much easier to take with you, whether you’re storing it in your car or taking it on the train.
    • Small tires make an electric bike easier to steer and weave through traffic and obstacles. They’re more responsive to steering and provide better tire compliance on the road because of their higher pressure per square inch than larger tires. This makes it safer and simpler to make sharp turns and ride on wet surfaces.
    • Another advantage of small wheels over large ones is that they provide faster acceleration. Because 20-inch tires are lightweight, they have a lower moment of inertia. This is another plus for people who are looking to ride in busy cities with lots of traffic, because it makes it much faster to stop and go.

    There are a few disadvantages, too, though. For example, small wheels don’t maintain their speed as well as large wheels because of their low inertia. If you’re going to want to go fast for a long period of time, you’ll have to pedal faster and use more of your battery to keep the speed up on a bike with smaller wheels. Another disadvantage is that smaller wheels are more susceptible to potholes and will give you a less smooth ride on bumpy roads than larger tires.

    At the end of the day, you should consider all the pros and cons when purchasing an electric bike. That said, e-bikes with smaller tires are definitely an option to consider if you’re really concerned about portability, or if you’re going to be riding on city roads very often.

    Himiway Big Dog Review: 20-Inch Fat Tire Cargo E-Bike!

    The Himiway Big Dog E-Bike is designed to be your cargo-carrying partner while you cruise around the neighborhood and the city. This Class 2 ebike can transport kids, groceries, or whatever else you need for your on-the-go lifestyle thanks to its ultra-wide rear rack and strong 750W motor. The Big Dog, which costs 1,999, is a fantastic option for a city-to-country commuter and multifunctional bike.

    Amazon.com

    One fantastic option for a vehicle has to be an electric bike, more especially, the Himiway Big Dog. With this robust all-terrain cargo e-bike, you can effortlessly slog through sand and snow as well as climb any hill. The Big Dog is a fantastic choice if you want a powerful cargo e-bike that is inexpensive and suitable for all terrains.

    Learn more about what we thought of Himiway’s new cargo ebike and how well it performed in our tests below. In this review on electric bikes, I’ll talk about the affordable cargo e-bike from Himiway in the hopes that it will aid you in choosing an e-bike. However, let’s look at the Big Dog’s specifications first before I continue:

    Himiway Big Dog: Design and Build Quality

    Although the Big Dog is advertised as a cargo bike, it’s important to understand the bike’s true categorization. Yuba Bikes and the well-known Bullitt are two excellent examples of expanded frames with a long rear rack or a sizable luggage area at the front of the bike that come to mind when I think of “cargo bikes.” The Big Dog, on the other hand, is more like to a regular ebike with a reinforced rear rack and mounts for a sizable front basket. When riders are making deliveries or conducting errands, the step-thru design makes getting on and off the bike simple.

    With its small frame and 20″ wheels, this bike resembles a more expensive version of the Himiway Escape E-Bike, which was inspired by mopeds. However, the Big Dog has an adjustable seat height, which is a feature that many bikers consider essential for achieving complete leg extension. The RadRunner from Rad Power Bikes, in my opinion, is the Big Dog’s main rival, whereas the extremely competent RadWagon is more akin to the conventional cargo bikes that we’re used to.

    With a moniker like this, it was only right that Big Dog comes with a back rack and a removable front rack. It can be difficult to find multipurpose all-terrain electric motorcycles with lots of payload capacity in the present market, so this one is a welcome sight.

    The double-leg center kickstand is another fantastic component that is tied to the design and shape of the bike. It’s sturdy and rust-proof; sometimes, it’s the little things that make an e-bike so helpful.

    According to Himiway, the bike has one frame size and should fit riders from 5′ to 6’2″. In our testing, we discovered that taller people could feel better at ease riding a full-sized fat tire ebike like the Zebra.

    Himiway Big Dog: Motor and Driving

    Even with large loads, a 750W rear hub motor’s performance on slopes is excellent, providing lots of speed and torque. There are five different levels of pedal assistance, and the top speed in the throttle mode is 20 mph. Although it appears like a mid-drive motor is located in the bottom bracket region, it actually just appears to be the location of the controller. Having said that, perhaps the Himiway Big Dog E-Bike will eventually feature a mid-drive.

    They provide excellent heat dissipation in challenging conditions. You’ll need an engine that can keep up when you are running errands, riding the trails, or delivering deliveries, and Big Dog’s motor can absolutely accomplish that.

    Despite having a somewhat simple appearance, the monochromatic display is anything but. A rider can alter the amount of pedal aid modes as well as the strength of each one under advanced settings. Riders who like a gentler touch on the initial pedal assist may find that to be of great use.

    With the right hand twist grip throttle or pedal assistance, the Himiway Big Dog can reach a top speed of 20 mph when it ships as a Class 2 electric bike.

    One significant drawback is that when riding over uneven terrain, the chain bangs on the kickstand and emits a loud ringing sound. This is a result of the center-stand kickstand design, which was an original concept, but I hope Himiway fixes this problem in the Big Dog’s following iteration.

    The Shimano 7-speed gear shifting mechanism and Shimano Altus Derailleur are equipped with the Big Dog. These two elements work well together and give you a sharp sense as you move.

    The Big Dog has a good gear range for accelerating quickly and climbing hills.

    The Big Dog’s range of 7 gears is more than adequate, and given how quickly it can travel, you’ll almost ever ride it in speeds 1-3. However, having the lower gears is still useful especially when the route becomes more difficult.

    Installing handlebars in the BMX fashion was an interesting but wise decision. The fixed stem cannot raise or lower the bars, but there is plenty of room for accessories including a phone mount. I really like the sleek, integrated bell that is installed next to the left brake lever. The metal Wellgo-branded pedals are a tough component that can withstand abuse, and the cable management at the front of the bike might be improved.

    The mechanical disc brakes of the Big Dog are Tektro Aries, and the rotors are Tektro 180 mm. You may make sure the power quits whenever you apply the brakes with the aid of motor cutoffs. The Zebra presently has hydraulic disc brakes, which provide a superior feel and performance, which is a significant distinction.

    The Big Dog has a 46 tooth single-walled front chainring up front and a 14-28 tooth rear freewheel, similar to the Zebra.

    The size of the Big Dog’s tires is one way it differs from the Zebra. The moped-sized 4′′x20′′ Kenda Krusade nobbies are available at The Big Dog. (The Zebra has 26′′x4′′ wheels, which are more reminiscent of the original mountain bike dimensions.) Both offer excellent traction on a range of surfaces.

    Himiway Big Dog: Battery and Range

    The Big Dog’s integrated 20Ah high-capacity battery is one of its standout features. Although the downtube is very substantial and the step-through frame lacks a top tube, I like the way it looks given that it houses the battery. Riders can cover some significant distances before running out of fuel because to the range’s 80-mile rating. The taillight has interesting Himiway branding, which is a great touch that I haven’t seen on other ebikes. A dual LED headlight and rear brake light operate off of the battery.

    The integrated battery’s practical protection from rain, wind, and dirt is another advantage. This extra layer of security is a significant bonus because the battery is so important and pricey.

    Himiway Big Dog: Conclusions

    The dependable Himiway Big Dog E-Bike can become your new best buddy if you frequently load up your bike or want a pleasant way to transport your child. This commuter bike with large tires will appeal to riders who aren’t sold on the idea of ebikes that look like mopeds while yet being reasonably priced. With the help of this workhorse ebike, load up and get going to finish your tasks swiftly.

    The Big Dog is a strong addition to Himiway’s lineup of fat tire electric bikes. Its step-through design should make it ideal for shorter riders. Additionally, with a payload capacity of 400 pounds, it ought to be a reliable bike for a heavy user.

    For someone who wants cargo capacity but doesn’t necessary want a large cargo bike, the Himiway Big Dog can be the ideal bicycle. Additionally, it includes a strong motor and a big battery for further exploration.
