Should you buy one?
The Mokwheel Scoria is a comfortable step-through fat tire e-bike with a big rear rack, a front fork, and a headlight and tail light. I tested it for several weeks on dirt roads and gravel paths, with no trouble. It’s a good fit for commuting and getting around town.
Watch out for one design flaw: the kickstand. It sits close to the ground. Even folded up, it would sometimes hit the ground when I leaned into turns, and it tapped the ground over bigger bumps.
Know which bike you’re buying. As of Oct 22, 2026, Mokwheel’s Scoria link opens the Scoria 2.0 at $1,799.99. That’s a newer version I haven’t tested. Its listed specs differ from the Scoria I filmed in 2023.

Who it’s for
- Riders who want an easy step-through. The low frame makes getting on and off easy.
- People who carry stuff. The rear rack is built for groceries, backpacks and gear.
- Commuters and town riders. This is the use I think it fits best.
- Riders on dirt and gravel. The fat tires handled the dirt roads and gravel paths I rode.
Who should look elsewhere
- Aggressive cornering riders. The kickstand can touch the ground when you lean.
- Anyone who wants exactly the bike I tested. It’s been replaced by the Scoria 2.0.
- Riders who need a lightweight bike. Mokwheel’s archived page listed the original at 79 lbs.
The spec mismatch
I need to be upfront. Some numbers I gave in my video don’t match Mokwheel’s own archived Scoria page from September 2023, just two months after my review. Here’s all three sources side by side.
| My 2023 video | Mokwheel page, Sep 2023 | Scoria 2.0 page, Oct 2026 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated motor power (W) | 500 | 750 | 750 |
| Peak motor power (W) | Not listed | Not listed | 1100 |
| Torque (Nm) | Not listed | 90 | 90 |
| Battery (V) | 48 | 48 | Not listed |
| Battery (Ah) | 12.8 | 19.6 | Not listed |
| Range (mi) | 40 | 80 | 80 |
| Payload (lbs) | 330 | 350 | 350 |
| Weight (lbs) | Not listed | 79 | 82 |
| Top speed I reached (mph) | 20 | Not listed | Not listed |
| PAS top speed (mph) | Not listed | 25 | 28 |
| Throttle top speed (mph) | Not listed | Not listed | 20 |
| Fork travel (mm) | Not listed | 110 | 100 |
| Rear gears | Not listed | 7 | 8 |
| Charge time (hours) | 6 | Not listed | Not listed |
| Warranty (years) | 1 | 2 | Not listed |
| Price, USD | Not listed | 1,899 | 1,799.99 |
For both Mokwheel range figures, I used the high end of their “60~80 miles.” For charge time, I said “about five to six hours.” The Sep 2023 price was Mokwheel’s sale price (regular $2,299). The Scoria 2.0 price is as of Oct 22, 2026.
I can’t tell from the sources whether Mokwheel changed the Scoria’s battery and motor between my review and September 2023, or whether my numbers were wrong. Use Mokwheel’s current page for the bike you’d actually buy today.
Ride quality
The fat tires give you stability and an extra layer of cushion. I rode it on dirt roads and gravel paths with no trouble.
The motor felt powerful. I reached speeds of up to 20 mph without any problems.
Mokwheel’s September 2023 page described the original as having a torque sensor, which gives you assistance in proportion to how hard you pedal. The page also listed a thumb throttle.
Comfort
The Scoria has a well-padded saddle that stays comfortable on longer rides. The front suspension fork takes out bumps and vibration. Mokwheel’s archived page described an adjustable fork with a lockout lever.
The rear rack and payload
The rear rack is one of the main reasons to look at this bike. You can carry groceries, backpacks or gear. In my video I said it could carry other people too. Before you put a passenger on a rack, check that Mokwheel rates the rack for it. Mokwheel’s archived page called it a solid wood rear shelf.
Payload: I said 330 lbs in the video. Mokwheel’s archived page and the current Scoria 2.0 page both say 350 lbs.
Charging and battery
The battery took about five to six hours to fully charge in my experience.
Mokwheel’s September 2023 page listed a Samsung 48V 19.6Ah battery. In my video I said 48V 12.8Ah. See the table above.
Safety
The Scoria comes with a built-in headlight and tail light, which help you stay visible in low light.
It also comes with front and rear fenders. I took the front fender off because I hang my bikes on my SteadyRack.
The kickstand problem
This is the flaw I’d want to know about before buying. The rear kickstand sits close to the ground when you turn. In my video, you can see it’s only about half an inch to an inch off the ground with just a light lean. Sometimes it hit the ground in turns, even when it was fully up. Over larger bumps, you’ll hear it tap and drag a little.
One July 2023 customer review on Mokwheel’s archived page also took off a star because of the center stand and said it needs to be a side kickstand. I can’t tell from the Scoria 2.0 page whether Mokwheel changed this.
What comes in the box
Mokwheel’s September 2023 FAQ said the bike ships with a wrench, a bicycle pump, a full front fender and the rear rack. The same page listed a 48V 3.0A charger, Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes, Chaoyang 20x4.0 puncture-resistant fat tires, a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain, a KMC stainless chain and a leather comfort saddle. The page also said Mokwheel offered 15-day returns and a two-year limited warranty. In my video I said one year, so go by Mokwheel’s current warranty terms.
What’s different on the Scoria 2.0
I haven’t ridden the 2.0, so this is just what Mokwheel’s current page lists as of Oct 22, 2026:
- 750W motor with a 1,100W peak and 90Nm of torque
- 20 mph on throttle and 28 mph in pedal assist, with Class 2 and Class 3 modes
- 8-speed gearing, up from 7
- Tektro TKD171 hydraulic brakes
- A 100mm fork
- 82 lbs, 60-80 miles of range and a 350 lb payload
- Rider heights of 5’0” to 6’2”
If you’re deciding between a Class 2 and Class 3 setup, my Class 2 vs Class 3 guide explains the difference, and my state law pages cover where each class can ride.
