Guys today we will test the full wheel drive electric fatbike!
It may a seem an usual bike with big wheels, but in fact it is like a real atv which is
probably able to tackle even ice and snow.
Is it really so?
Lets find out!
Stay with us, we are to start right now!
Hi, guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
Firstly I should say this bike was bought on Aliexpress and the delivery took about
three weeks.
The seller was quite reliable, and responsive, package was qualitative.
I will place the link in the description.
By the way, our attention was attracted by impressive specs of this fatbike.
Look here…
Full wheel drive with two electric motors 500 watts and big aggressive tires.
These features resulted in the possibility to tackle rough terrain, and the price is
quite affordable it is about 1000 dollars.
Well we have never ridden before any bike on snow and ice and it was very interesting
for us to test it.
And guys if you have a similar bike for winter riding please post a comment about your impressions,
it would be very interesting to read it!
As I said we have here two electric motors, 500 watts each of them.
The battery 48 volts 10 ampere-hours capacity.
The battery can be quickly dismantled for charging, also it can be locked.
There is an indicator and usb socket to charge any devices.
One of the most interesting features – wide and aggressive tires with tenons that allow
to ride even on ice!
By the way each motor can be switched on separately or they may work together.
We see here buttons to manage it.
Also we see here a throttle handle and the display.
The front light is very bright, it may be very useful at night.
Moreover this bike is even equipped with anti theft system with remote control!
To tell the truth I don’t know how it works, but anyway it is impressive.
Well I think it high time to have a ride now!
First of all I should say we were impressed by the performance of the bike!
We have a perfect conditions for test – wet and loose snow and ice!
And the bike looks quite comfortable and effective in such a mess.
Firstly we were afraid that our rider may fall, but he went on ice so swiftly as if
he had ridden on a perfect dry road!
As I mentioned you can use the both motors together or separately depending on the conditions
of the ground.
If you are moving through rough terrain use the full wheel drive, on a flat road switch
off one of the motors to save the battery.
And if you get into a real trouble you always may use your trump card – the pedals don’t
forget about them.
Though you should take into account that the bike weighs 27 kilos that significantly more
than a usual bike.
And the rolling is worse due to the two motors.
For all that it is still possible to use the pedals, so at least you won’t carry it on
your neck when the battery is dead.
Well and now I want to try this thing myself!
Firstly it was terrifying to go on bike on ice!
But it is so stable due to the perfect tires that I immediately forgot about the ice.
The bike reacts on the throttle so rapidly, that It seemed to me that it is powerful enough
to tackle any kind of terrain.
Though I didn’t have enough courage to try it on maximum speed.
And its worth saying that it is quite comfortable on a flat road but rather tough on a rough
terrain.
The matter is that it doesn’t have rear suspension system, thanks to the big wheels
and front suspension that slightly absorb the bumps.
Then I didn’t like the brakes.
The bike is rather heavy and it is hard to stop it, so the brakes leave much to be desired.
Or maybe they just need to be adjusted.
On the whole I was impressed by the performance of the bike!
It is like a real full wheel drive winter moto atv!
Now some more tests.
Now our rider is trying to go through some roughness.
Well the front suspension works, but anyway you should know that the bike may seem tough
on roughnesses, so it is better to stand when you are going through them.
Then we found a hill to try to climb on it without pedals.
As you see the bike managed to climb on the hill, but it is worth saying that is recommended
to help with the pedals on hills, cause the battery may die there very quickly.
Then we found the clean ice to try to ride on it.
The tires are awesome, the bike is so effective on ice thanks to the tires!
By the way we had to pay extra for the winter tires, mind it if you are going to order this
bike.
Well it is high time for offroading!
Lets try to go right into snow on rough terrain!
Frankly speaking the snow is not very deep it is about 10 cm and its wet.
I had some doubts before the test that the bike would be able to tackle rough terrain,
but to my surprise it is quite effective there!
Full wheel drive, big and wide wheels, aggressive tires – all these features cut much ice
on offroading!
So we have a real ATV.
By the way if you often have rides on offroad you may pump low pressure in tires and it
will be even more effective on rough terrain and more soft and comfortable.
Of course you should know that this bike is not appropriate for a real offroad like swamp
and deep snow, but it is quite good for such conditions as we have in this video.
According to the official specs the maximum speed is 45 km.h, but our result was about
40, but it was freezing and the battery is not so effective in such weather.
Now we have 32-33 km/h but we shot it when the battery was almost run down, so the maximum
speed is about 40.
And the most interesting question – the range!
Again according to the specs it is about 50 km.
Impressive, isn’t it?
But its common knowledge that Chinese often exaggerate their specs, so I wouldn’t state
50 km.
Today we’ve had a very tough conditions for the battery – frosty weather, hills,
a lot of accelerating and so on, all this stuff reduces the performance of the battery.
We shot this video for about 5 hours and we used two batteries.
And according to our results the maximum speed is about 30 km.
But it depends on the conditions of use greatly!
Anyway the total range is quite decent to my mind.
Well guys, on the whole I liked this fatbike – it is a real ATV in the world of bikes!
It can be used both in summer and winter, it is powerful, has a good speed and range.
On the other hand it is quite heavy, sometimes it may be tough on a rough terrain.
For all that this bike is definitely worth of our attention!
And I hope you liked this video!
