If you’re tired of those hard rides, why not take a look at a hybrid bike like the Ecotric Fat Tire Electric Bike? It has great build quality compared to many other electric bikes, and although it’s not a folding electric bike, it still offers great practicality. It also made our best electric bike list thanks to its performance.

We’re sorry, this product is temporarily out of stock

Why We Like It – ECOTRIC Fat Tire 500W Bike

The Ecotric Fat Tire bike is a fantastic E bike. This electric bike is made from aluminum alloy and has a removable lithium battery with six-hour charging time. The rear hub motor can push the Ecotric Fat Tire Electric Bike to speeds of up to 20mph. It compares well to Ecotric’s other offerings like the Fat Tire Folding Electric Bike. And for safety, this bike should be used with the LightMode Helmet that gives the safety feature of Tron lines. For a multi-tasking bike that is portable and foldable, look at the Ecotric 20 fat tire folding electric bike review.

Pros
  • Powerful motor
  • Pedal assist feature
  • LCD display
Cons
  • A bit heavy
  • Large tires not to everyone’s taste
  • The battery has a limited lifespan

Performance

The Ecotric Fat Tire Electric Bike offers great performance, just like the bike on our Ecotric folding bike review. This fat tire bike has a top speed of 20 mph because of the 500w motor on the rear hub. The Ecotric Electric fat tire bike also has both an outage and a mechanical braking system. This fat tire bike has both pedal assist and walk assist and comes with a Shimano seven-speed transmission. The Ecotric Fat Tire Electric has a range of around 15-30 miles which compares well against other fat tire folding electric bikes and rivals like Elby S1 9-Speed Electric Bike.

Design

The Ecotric Fat Tire Electric Bike has a normal mountain bike design but comes a lithium battery and an electric motor. The fat tires provide great cushioning and provide a smoother riding experience. This 26-inch Fat Tire bike also has an alloy frame to keep the weight down.The Ecotric Fat Tire Electric bike even has a large LCD display. Our bike review found it to have a great design similar to other fat tire folding bikes as well as the NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bicycle.

Value

We can’t finish our electric bike review without talking about value. The Ecotric electric mountain bike has a long range and has a decent top speed. It also has a removable lithium battery that can be swapped out on longer rides if you wish. It also has a dual braking system and a high-quality Shimano transmission. It offers great performance compared to many E-bikes, and has great value for money. The Merax Mountain Bike is a great alternative.

ECOTRIC Fat Tire 500W Bike Wrap Up

The Ecotric is a hybrid bike that you can ride freely, then engage the motor whenever you like. It eats up steep hills and makes every ride a pleasure. This bike also has great top speed and good range. The large tires may not be to some people’s taste, but they make a difference to comfort on bikes without front shocks.
