Is the NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bicycle Worth The Money?

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

The NAKTO Fat Tire ebike is a popular choice thanks to some solid features and a comfortable ride. I wanted to see if this NAKTO electric bike lived up to the hype and was really worth the cost, which is just over a grand right now.

Pros:

  • Smooth Ride
  • Great Performance On Different Terrains
  • 42 Mile Range

Cons:

  • Some Might Find It Heavy To Ride Without Power
  • The Brakes Are Not Quiet

NAKTO Fat Tire ebike Build Quality And Design

This NAKTO Cruiser has a great design, with a style that fits somewhere between a mountain bike and a regular bicycle. The build quality is superb and tough as a tank thanks to an aluminum alloy frame. Some other features that stand out are the premium shock absorption, front and rear fat tires and a multi-function LED digital dashboard. There is no twist throttle. This NAKTO bike weighs about 60 pounds and has a maximum user weight of 300 pounds. That might be too heavy for some users, but those buyers are likely looking for a folding electric model anyway. And most folding bikes are not this heavy. No speed gears here like the bikes of old, but it has 3 modes: Electric, pedal assist, and a labor saving mode. Don’t worry about the whole bike assemble thing, this NAKTO electric bike comes 90% completed, so it is easy.

How Powerful Is The NAKTO Fat Tire ebike?

The NAKTO Fat Tire electric bike comes with a 500 watt brushless motor which is powerful enough to give you a bike with a great range, great speed and a very comfortable ride. The max speed is 28 miles per hour, which will get you where you are going quickly.  It delivers an impressive 42 mile range on a single charge. Electric bikes are way more powerful than common mobility scooters after all.

Charging Time

As far as battery life, the ebike cruiser has a 36v10ah lithium ion battery charging time of about 4 to 6 hours. Not bad at all for this kind of power. Especially considering the range that this 36v10ah lithium battery delivers. That’s not too terribly long for the lithium battery to be in the battery charger.

Bottom Line and NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bicycle Wrap Up

This NAKTO Fat Tire Electric Bike really impressed me, handling various terrain like a champ, never wavering from the first test ride. It is an awesome mountain electric bike. If I had one complaint, it is that the brakes make a bit too much noise, at least on my model.  The design and style on this NAKTO ebike are awesome. This mountain ebike looks good and it is built solid. I loved the smooth ride, which really made me appreciate those fat tires, powerful motor and premium comfort shock.  The rear disc brakes are very responsive. Younger riders will want to check out kids bikes instead of this electric mountain bike, or even an electric scooter or electric skateboards. It is my opinion that anyone can buy this fat tire mountain bike and be more than happy with it. I have come to love fat tire bikes now.

Other models I looked at were the Ecotric fat tire, Swagtron Swagcycle, the Ancheer power plus, electric mopeds, EV Rider, the NATKO Camel, and various folding electric bikes
