Fat Tire Electric Bikes: We review the best all-terrain off-road E-Bikes

5. NAKTO 26" City Fat Tire Electric Bike 300W

One of NAKTO's more recent fat tire electric bikes, which comes with a nice matte black finish, this all-terrain and all-purpose e-bike certainly looks the part. Top speed is up to 22 mph are stated which is achieved thanks to the Shimano 6 speed gearing system.

What's more, there's a solid amount of charging time, meaning you should be able to easily take the e-bike out for a full day without issue. The max range is 28-35 miles.

The frame itself is comprised of sturdy aluminum, giving a robust yet lightweight feel to the product. Big 26" wheels mean this is also suitable for the taller person and should be able to accommodate someone who reaches 6'8 in height.

A bike that is aiming to be the best "bang for your buck", let's see how the specifics line up.

A solid line list of specs sets the NAKTO up to be a good purchase. Some encouraging user reviews give an insight into how we feel about this product, that it is one of the best you can buy on a budget. With that caveat, however, there are drawbacks.

It's not an all singing and dancing product, and there are a few things to note, such as the control not being on par with some other, more expensive e-bikes.

It's important to note that this isn't a deal-breaking feature, rather just a footnote against the product.  The drawbacks are definitely not a dealbreaker however and NAKTO has been fast to respond to any concerns. 

Conclusion

To conclude, the assertion when viewing this electric bike was that it could be a solution to your e-bike needs without costing too much. That's exactly what you get. It really feels like it should be priced higher, as the quality, comfort, and ride are outstanding.

Again as we noted, there are of course boxes that remain un-ticked, including the control not being as developed as a more expensive model. However, this is a nitpick blemish on a product that does what it sets out to do while looking great and excelling in its remit.

The verdict? A good budget bike, but some sacrifices were made. Buy this if you're on a tight budget or just entering the world of e-bikes and want a solid first one.

6. Himiway Cobra Fat Tire Electric Bike

The Himiway Cobra is the electric mountain bike of choice for thrill seekers wanting to conquer more challenging trails. Whether you're a competitive rider or just out for some fun, the Cobra's fat tires will provide an excellent grip and great shock absorption on any terrain, no matter how bumpy it gets. Most Himaway bikes have 26" x 4" Kenda fat tires, except for the Himiway Cobra series, which has 26″ x 4.8″ CST fat tires in that size. 

Meanwhile, the Himiway Cobra series of tires can be said to have the largest tires for electric bikes in the United States!

Built from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, the Cobra is one sturdy ride with a tall standover height and long wheelbase. Impressive power comes from its 750W brushless geared hub motor which packs a torque sensor that monitors your pedaling intensity and adjusts the motor's output accordingly. Such power requires a strong battery to keep up, so the Cobra sports a 48V 20Ah Samsung/LG lithium battery securely integrated into its frame—a weighty task that helps minimize range anxiety. 

Speed freaks need not worry either; this rig can hit speeds of up to 28 mph depending on surface conditions and other external factors such as battery life and rider weight. The five-level pedal assist system lets you customize your experience according to your needs, while an LCD display provides real-time information about speed, distance traveled and more. 

A robust drivetrain gives you control over your riding style; choose between Shimano Altus derailleur or SRAM X3 trigger shifters then adjust its 21 speeds accordingly. Tektro brakes are also included in case you need to bring the speed down quickly; their hydraulic disc brakes will have you stopping on a dime whenever necessary. 

The Himiway Cobra is equipped with features that make it ideal for serious trail riders who want to get off the beaten path and explore nature’s wildest terrain without breaking their budget: Its mid-drive motor offers superior torque in difficult terrains while providing e-bike benefits such as pedal assistance for those steep hills; puncture protection keeps tires durable against unforeseen obstacles; adjustable suspension ensures comfortable rides on various surfaces; adjustable handlebars allow riders to customize their fit according to their body size; foldable pedals save space when storing or transporting your bike; and last but not least, with its kickstand, fenders and reflectors you get additional features that give added safety during nighttime rides or when parking in busy cities. 

Conclusion

If you’re looking for an all-purpose electric mountain bike that’s perfect for both recreational riders seeking fun trails as well as hardcore trail riders, then look no further than the Himiway Cobra! With its high quality construction materials, fat and sturdy tires, powerful motor, adjustable components and other useful features it’s sure to meet all your riding needs!

7. BAKCOU Mule Electric Hunting Bike

This electric hunting bike is built to handle rough terrain and extreme conditions with unmatched ease, no matter where the next hunting trip takes you!

You can't go hunting on a bike that isn't capable of going off-road, period. And when it's time to go deeper into the woods – whether it's to follow a trail, do some scouting, or set up your trail cameras – you need a bike that can keep up with the extreme conditions.

The BAKCOU Mule is one such electric hunting bike.

It may be called the Mule, but this bike is every bit as fast and agile as the wild animals that you'll be hunting while riding it.

This workhorse – or, rather, mule – of a bike is engineered with the unparalleled performance of the Bafang ULTRA M620 mid-drive motor. 

The fact that it can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour – even in off-road scenarios – is both mind-blowing and terrifying at the same time.

The sensors provide continuous feedback to the motor, ensuring that it delivers precisely the level of performance that you require at any given moment – instead of leaving you stuck with predetermined power settings.

Oh, and it comes with Walk-Assist mode, which dials the speed down to three miles per hour so that you can walk alongside your Mule while it does all the heavy lifting.

You wouldn't be the first hunter to question the distances that you can reach on the back of an electric hunting bike. The battery is, after all, what determines the bike's range.

On that note, we're glad to report that the motor isn't the Mule's only powerful component. The battery – and the distances that it can travel on a single charge – are every bit as impressive.

Again, you get more than one option here:

BAKCOU Mule's Lithium-ion Extended Distance 48V battery is available in three different sizes – 14.5Ah, 17.4Ah, and 21Ah – to meet your needs. Whichever one you choose, you'll have plenty of juice to give the Mule that extra push.

And since the smart Bafang mid-drive motor knows how to put that battery power to use as efficiently as possible, you can get as much as 40 miles out of a single charge. While the competition averages out at around 20 miles, the Mule offers double the range!

Conclusion

If everything you saw today in our BAKCOU Mule review wasn't enough to convince you that you're looking at the best electric hunting bike currently available on the market, we don't know what to tell you.

Of course, there's a lot more to be said about this workhorse of a bike – the name "Mule" is incredibly fitting – but it's time to wrap things up. Plus, you won't know how genuinely fantastic this hunting bike is until you take it for a ride out in the wild yourself.

8. Jeep® E-Bike powered by QUIETKAT

Well, ain’t this a pleasant surprise. The first fat tire electric bike that came out as the great result of a collaboration between Jeep and QUIETKAT. We are glad to be able to present this beast of electric mountain bike to all of you today.

This is the most potent e-bike on the market currently that will allow you to take a trip beyond the roads on extremely steep hills and rough terrains such as sand, mud, and snow. A wide-range ten-speed drivetrain gear will allow you to climb even the steepest mountains while still cruising at a comfortable pace.

A huge 750 Watt electric motor powers this monster bike so you can easily achieve a top speed of 40 mph. When you combine this power with 160nm of torque from the powerful motor via pedal-assist or thumb throttle, you end up having the most capable e-bike ever made!

This fat tire electric bike is powered by a 48V 4.5Ah Panasonic battery that will allow you to ride for 30 miles on a single charge without assistance. In case you choose to power the battery by cranking the pedals from time to time, you can extend the battery life to withstand for up to 50 miles.

But what makes it so outstanding except the motor power?

The Jeep E-Bike is equipped with adjustable air suspension forks. The front 150mm ultra-stiff inverted air suspension fork is paired with 120mm rear-wheel suspension for ultimate traction and control in the toughest terrain. In case you need to slow down or stop, there are Tektro 730 4 Piston Hydraulic Disc brakes with 203mm rotors that will make your off-road ride safest possible.

The aluminum frame is available in small, medium, and large sizes. The frame is immensely sturdy and lightweight. It will provide enough stability since it is paired with aluminum rims that hold 4.8’’ fat tires. There is no doubt that this great built can’t tackle any terrain you choose to conquer.

You can use any of the QUITEKAT accessories with this bike since it is compatible with them all.

Conclusion

We know none of you will be surprised when we tell you that Jeep e-bike is one of the best fat tire electric bikes you can purchase nowadays. Yes, it will cost you a significant amount of money, but that can be expected considering Jeep was one of the manufacturers.

However, if the money is not a problem for you, this high-end model should find its place in your collection.

9. QuietKat Apex Electric Bike

Sooner or later, e-bike enthusiasts will seek a fat tire ebike that can challenge dirt roads and backcountry trails effortlessly. Finding one might be difficult, but with our today’s entry - the QuiteKat Apex E-Bike, all of your off-road riding desires will come to fruition.

Snow and sand terrains, steep hills, and even muddy trails - this model is made to face head-on all obstacles that might cross your path. 

Its secret lies within the 750 W hub motor, the Apex’s finest mid-drive motor, which seamlessly uses the full range of gears to conquer steep mountain trails and other barriers without compromise.

The motor at hand might be powerful, but without the 48V/16Ah Lithium-Ion battery - all of the innate potentials wouldn’t even manifest. Its robust design was made to tackle tough jobs - by pairing the two, we’re left with superb performances on all terrain, regardless of how hostile it might be.

Depending on the landscape and the rider’s weight - the manufacturer estimates that riders can expect anywhere between 24 and 48 miles per battery charge. 

A neglectable factor within the motor's power can further alter the expected range, but we can safely say that riding 24 miles is the expected bare minimum. Just remember to charge the battery anywhere between 4 to 6 hours for maximum results.

People who wish to ride a fat tire e-bike know what to expect - the same can be said for the QuiteKat Apex; the comfort is overshadowed by the control and handling capabilities, which are unrivaled by many.

The previous statement is backed with the 150mm inverted suspension fork, coupled with 26” X 4.5” all-terrain tires - heavy and bulky, profoundly made for serious off-road adventures.

Don’t mistake it - this model offers certain comfort levels on rough terrain, but its accent and beauty lie within its superb control capabilities - muddy and bumpy roads won’t dent the Apex.

Optimally controlling such a powerful motor is only possible with a reliable set of brakes - The Tektro 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes will ensure a safe full-stop whenever necessary.

Even the SRAM 9-speed drivetrain shouldn’t be overlooked - once you pair it with the motor and the battery, this model will remain reliable regardless of how far you venture from home.

Conclusion

Those looking to overcome all types of wilderness with superb handling performances should consider taking a closer look at the QuiteKat Apex e-bike!
