Funhang Electric Bike for Adults, 1000W Peak Ebike, 25MPH 60Miles Electric Mountain Bike, 26" Fat Tire Electric Bicycle with 48V 13AH Battery, Front Suspension,7 Speed, Rear Rack, UL 2849 Certified

The media could not be loaded. If you have never ridden an eBike before, or even if you have, when the motor is 750W, you are going to FEEL it. The acceleration becomes so fast, but smooth, you may feel dirty about how fast it got to 15mph+.I have tested over a handful of electric bikes -- from foldable small-wheel ones that I refer to as "Clown bikes" to cruisers, mountains, and thin and fat tires. Each has its pros and cons.All have one thing in common, however: I look for the below features in an electric bicycle.- Decent motor to aid with steep inclines- 7 or 21 speeds/gears for tackling difficult, uphill climbs- Pedal Assist System (PAS)- Comfortable ride with shock suspension- Fat tires for more balance and control- Detachable, large battery for long rides and convenient chargingThe Funhang Electric Bike checked every box I would personally be looking for, but ultimately, it depended on my friend who wanted one and asked me to assemble it as well. So, I got him this Funhang because he did not want to spend more than $1,000 but still wanted a Fat Tire for its benefits.WHY AN EBIKE?Electric bicycles have allowed our family to go longer distances with far lower risk of cramping that would have made for a PAINFUL ride home. The motorized assistance on the uphill climbs and during the final return miles with tired legs had been a welcome blessing!ANALYSISFunhang's 26" Electric Bike has a good build quality. The shipping box arrived undamaged thanks to the friendly FedEx driver. He expected me to help him carry it inside the house (or he offered to help me) -- that's how heavy it is at roughly 70 lbs. I told him not to worry about it and let him go on with his work while I lifted it inside myself.Its weight was simply due to being a large battery with a strong motor.Assembly was straight-forward: all I had to do was attach the pedals, fenders, front wheel/disc brake, and done. Nothing else needed to be set up, although I had to tweak the front brake a bit. "Holy moly!" I thought to myself, giving flashbacks on when I had to frustratingly try to figure out how to put together the individual, small pieces of a mechanical mountain bike a year ago for the first time. Thankfully, practically everything was already pre-assembled.Ride performance was VERY clean, smooth, and comfortable thanks to its fat tires and front suspension to smooth out bumps and rocky terrain. There was no rear suspension, and so keep that in mind if you want to take it hardcore trail riding down the mountain (not to mention needing to remove the rear rack and swapping the wide seat with a MTB-approved one to be safer.) The motor's 750W of (nominal) power was very strong. That meant a very sudden, rapid speed increase that could feel out of control at times. You should be at least 5'3" to be able to ride this bike. I test-rode it myself and wow, it definitely accelerated much faster than my Googo, and so I was confident it could handle hills better than mine -- and it did indeed!The Funhang had a clean, streamlined look with cables tucked away nicely. Its weight, however, would not be something many riders would be happy to carry around.Shifting between the 7 gears was effortless, and the fat tires gave a very satisfying sound while smoothly zipping around the neighborhood park and up a few climbs. Power Assist (PAS) was available in multiple gears, and speed topped at 20 mph without a rider -- just at the legal speed limit with eBikes of this class. Legally, electric bikes cannot go faster than 20 mph to fall under the United States Class 2 designation, and in California, only Class 2 can ride on Class 1 bike paths. What does that mean? This bicycle's motor was potentially too fast to legally operate in California, but thankfully, the speed was capped at 20 mph by the manufacturer. There likely is a way to unlock its maximum speed, but I did not bother looking into it since this bike will be my friend's, and I did not want to get him in trouble with the law or his personal well-being . Either way, be sure to check with your local and State laws before you push the Funhang to its top speed.Electronic controls found on the left side of the handlebar were easy to use and managed the headlight, horn, PAS level, power, and display. The screen was easily readable under direct sunlight and provided a nice set of information, including battery and Power Assist levels, speed, odometer, and more.The 624Wh-capacity, Li-Ion NMC battery (13Ah @ 48V) is the standard size among the ones I have tested. 18-38 miles on fully-electric and 45-60 miles with pedal assist should be doable. My past experience found that it should theoretically be able to handle at least 90 miles with PAS only used for short uphill climbs. I prefer pedaling most of the time for exercise/health purposes and only invoke the motor just enough to get up a hill.Two keys were included to lock the removable battery from theft. So, do NOT lose them!Front wheel is not the quick-release skewer type for easy swapping, but keep in mind that this also makes it harder for someone to steal the tire. Be sure to bring the appropriate locks and chains.The rear rack most likely cannot carry more than 50 lbs -- a number most commonly cited by manufacturers.The bike was a joy to spin, and the build quality and riding comfort were good. For me, personally, the 750W motor provided for a very smooth acceleration, but keep in mind that it could scare a beginner rider for the first time when that initial power kicks in. I felt solidly in control and the suspension worked well in conjunction with the fat tires to even out the effects caused by rocky or shaky terrains. Electric bikes are fun to ride in general, but please be sure to follow the local laws.BIKE OR SCOOTER?Electric scooters are more nimble to move around with -- and in some cases, more fun -- but local laws may prevent them from going onto the same paths as electric bicycles. Most can also be carried around more easily due to their more compact size and lighter weight. Personally, I prefer bikes because they are safer to operate, can (usually) go onto the same places that mechanical bicycles can operate, are (generally) allowed to carry an additional passenger, and if the battery runs out or fails, you can still pedal around. A scooter would stop to function without a battery.

My last electric bike was several years old and it was time for an upgrade. I found this fat tire bike and i am beyond excited about it specially given the price. The first thing that i have to call out is how powerful this bike is. My last bike topped out at 20 mph. This one has a bigger 750w motor and runs up to 25mph unrestricted. This is actually quite fast on a bicycle and sometimes a little scary. The large tires does provide more of a sense of comfort than normal tired bikes. The tire size in addition to the hefty front shocks absorbs bumps and goes over rough terrain with ease.The bike has a few features and nice touches that help set it apart from others. This model includes both front and rear fenders and they appear to be oversized. This is incredibly nice and helpful in keeping moisture, dirt, and mud off your legs and back when riding. This model also has front and rear disk breaks which work surprisingly well when coming to a stop from 25mph. Most e-bikes have a headlight but this one also adds a brake/taillight which is a nice touch to increase visibility on the riding on the road at night. Finally the bike has a large durable rack on the rear over the wheel. It worked nicely for putting my bike rack bag on it which is large enough for a few tools and a bag of groceries if I make a bike run to the store.The bike has 7 speeds which aren't necessarily needed if using pure electric mode. They are much appreciated when using the pedal assist mode though. Using pure electric i am able to go about 25-30 miles in pure electric mode and up to 60 miles in pedal assist. This means i can go a full week of riding without recharging the battery. A full charge is best done overnight though because it takes 6-8 hours to go from zero to 100%.This bike is a blast to ride, provides fast speeds, a stable ride and has a ton of value compared to the others i looked.

"I just got the Funhang Electric Bike, and I must say that so far, it's been an amazing ride! The 1000W peak motor has enough power to easily handle rough terrain and hills. This bike can reach speeds of up to 21.7 mph and handles everything with ease, whether I'm riding through the city or hitting some dirt trails.One notable feature is the 48V detachable battery. For long rides or daily commuting, my 50-mile range on a single charge is ideal. I also appreciate how simple it is to take out and charge the battery separately, or to replace it with a spare if necessary.I can adjust the handlebars to my desired height thanks to the adjustable stem, which makes longer rides incredibly comfortable. The fenders are a nice addition, keeping water and mud off me when it's raining, and the lockable suspension fork really helps smooth out bumps, especially on trails.I can move through different terrains with ease thanks to my 21 speeds. All things considered, this bike feels strong, quick, and adaptable. It has everything I need for both off-road and city adventures, and it's a great value for the money. If you're searching for a dependable electric bike, I heartily recommend it!"
