What I said about the Mokwheel Obsidian
A full-suspension fat tire e-bike with a big 1000W hub motor and an optional inverter that turns the battery into a power station.
This is my initial review after unboxing and building the Obsidian. The dual suspension makes it really comfortable, the 1000W motor has plenty of power on and off road, and I love the styling, especially in yellow. The optional inverter is something I haven't seen from any other e-bike company: I charged one of my Toro yard tool batteries off the bike's battery, which makes this a fun pick for bike camping.
Liked
- Dual suspension makes it really comfortable
- 1000W motor gives plenty of power on and off road
- My favorite style of shifter: thumb-and-index-finger, clean and easy
- Comfortable gel grips
- Mokwheel includes lots of spare bolts and screws
- Optional inverter ran a Toro battery charger at about 116 W off the bike
- Great looking, especially the yellow
Didn't
- No integrated tail light
- Display doesn't connect to your phone
- Throttle won't work in pedal assist 0 (a safety feature, but good to know)
- Inverter fan is a little loud
- Seat is wide but on the rigid side
What I said about the Aventon Ramblas
Aventon's first mid-drive and first real e-mountain bike: a hardtail that climbs like crazy and is built better than I expected for the price.
After several weeks on the trails, this is my favorite bike Aventon makes right now, mostly because trail riding is what I like to do. The A100 motor's torque is insane for how small the power number looks, and it pushed me up every hill I pointed it at. You get a dropper post and a RockShox fork that you'd usually pay extra for, and the welds and finish are some of the best I've seen on an Aventon. I'm keeping this one and plan to do a longer 100 or 200 mile follow-up.
Liked
- Huge torque from the A100 mid-drive on climbs; don't let the 250W rating fool you
- Dropper post comes standard, with the cable hidden inside the frame
- RockShox fork and a SRAM Eagle 12-speed with plenty of gears for climbing
- Display is tucked under the bar, so it's less likely to crack in a crash
- Very clean cockpit, lock-on grips, and a chain slap guard that keeps the frame quiet
- Smooth welds and a great color; one of the best-built Aventons I've tested
Didn't
- Hardtail only, no rear suspension
- Headlight is optional (I didn't install it)
- Charger uses a proprietary plug, so don't lose it or you'll be buying another from Aventon
