Should you buy one?
I tested these two fat-tire bikes for several weeks (0:07 to 0:13). I filmed both in one video, so I’m covering them together here.
Buy the Multijoy Spaniel if you want a big, rugged hardtail you can load with gear for camping or hunting (1:30 to 1:45). It has a 750W rear hub, 4 inch tires, a big headlight, a color display, 5 levels of pedal assist and a throttle that works from zero (0:38 to 1:15). It was much more comfortable for me to pedal (4:51 to 5:05).
Skip the Meebike Gallop unless you’re shorter or mostly ride on throttle. It looks like a moped (3:38 to 3:51), but at about 200 lb I found the motor too weak to push me forward quickly (3:21 to 4:13). The seat sits so close to the pedals that pedaling was uncomfortable for me at 6’1” (5:21 to 5:37).
The deciding factor: if I had to buy one, I’d get the Multijoy (4:49 to 4:57).

Source note: times in parentheses are from my comparison video. Neither brand’s product page loaded on Oct 23, 2026. Spaniel figures come from Multijoy’s Amazon listing (model EB260) and other retail listings. Gallop figures come from dealer listings (EbikeSC, Hyperrides, Go Ebikes), which disagree on range and brakes.
What I didn’t test
I didn’t run range, top-speed, or braking tests on either bike, and I didn’t weigh them. The 40 and 70 mile Spaniel figures are what I read from the brand in the video. I didn’t confirm either price.
Who it’s for
- Spaniel: riders who want to carry gear off-road (1:30 to 1:45); taller riders who want to pedal (5:15 to 5:21).
- Gallop: shorter riders who like the moped look (5:21 to 5:25); anyone who wants a seat with room for a passenger, though that’s subject to local laws (2:27 to 2:31).
Who should look elsewhere
- Spaniel: anyone who needs a small bike; it’s very big (2:03 to 2:08).
- Gallop: heavier riders who want quick acceleration (4:04 to 4:13); tall riders who pedal (5:28 to 5:37).
- Gallop: anyone who moves the bike with the kickstand down; the pedal hits the stand (5:40 to 6:08).

Rival specs are from the brands, as listed on my review pages for those bikes.
If you like the Gallop’s moped look but want more get-up-and-go, the Fahrbike Roadster 73 is the other moped-style bike I’ve reviewed.

FAQ
Which one would I buy?
The Multijoy. It does more and it’s far more comfortable to pedal (4:49 to 5:05).
Does the Gallop’s torque sensor help?
Not for me. It’s a step in the right direction, but because the seat sits so close to the pedals, I ended up riding it like a moped on throttle (2:31 to 2:44, 5:05 to 5:11).
What would fix the Gallop?
A stronger motor. I said a 1,000W motor, or a second motor up front, would help with the heavy steel frame (4:21 to 4:37).
Price
I couldn’t confirm a current price for either bike: both brand pages failed to load on Oct 23, 2026. Dealer listings for the Gallop ranged from $1,299 to $1,999.
