You’ve seen the quick stats, now here’s the real story behind each ride. If you want performance without surprises, this breakdown will help you lock in the right choice.

1. Happyrun Tank G100 [Power Commuter + Weekend Beast]

In our experience, the Happyrun Tank G100 is the e-bike that tries to do it all—and nearly pulls it off.

During our review period, what stood out immediately was its aggressive motorcycle-inspired design and dual-battery setup. This thing isn’t subtle; it’s made to turn heads and eat up long, open stretches.

Whether we took it on city roads or gravel backroads, the dual suspension kept the ride surprisingly smooth. Its real-world speed crept into the high 50s km/h range, and with two batteries, we were rarely worried about range anxiety.

That said, it’s a heavy unit, you’ll feel it if you need to carry it up stairs or load it into a vehicle.

Expert Opinions

• Often praised for its range and value—for the price, dual batteries are a standout feature.
• Seen as a hybrid between an e-bike and a light electric motorcycle, offering robust torque and power.
• Experts caution potential buyers to verify local road legality, as its top speed exceeds most provincial limits.

User Opinions

• Riders love the raw power and say the G100 “feels like riding a mini-motorbike.”
• Mixed reviews on speed claims—some hit 60 km/h, others barely cracked 50.
• A few reported concerns with long-term durability, especially around the rear taillight and some mid-tier components.

2. Cycrown Ultra [Hill Crusher + Long-Range Explorer]

When we tested the Cycrown Ultra, it instantly felt like the “quiet achiever” in this group.

It doesn’t shout for attention with wild design, but instead delivers where it matters, powerful climbs, long-range comfort, and a ride that feels polished.

The 750W BaFang motor, peaking at 1000W, had no trouble tackling steep inclines around Vancouver, and the battery comfortably pushed past the 100 km mark under mixed riding.

The ride ergonomics are dialled in, especially for longer journeys. While not the fastest off the line, it holds steady at a solid 50–56 km/h in full electric mode. It’s the bike we’d take on a day-long exploration without thinking twice.

Expert Opinions

• Reviewers highlight its strong hill-climbing ability and impressive real-world range for the price.
• Known for its build quality—experts describe it as “durable, no-nonsense, and commuter-friendly.”
• The only mild critique is the brightness of the display in full sun, which could be improved.

User Opinions

• Users love the smooth ride and whisper-quiet motor—“feels like gliding on air,” one said.
• Older riders (even 60+) praised its comfort and range, calling it ideal for long commutes.
• A few comments pointed out that accessories like racks took longer to ship than expected.

3. AOSTIRMOTOR S18 1500W [Budget Muscle for Off-Road Lovers]

Testing the AOSTIRMOTOR S18 felt like unlocking a rugged secret. This fat tire beast brings serious torque at a price that’s hard to ignore.

With a 1500W peak motor, it powered confidently through trails, gravel, and uneven backcountry roads around Alberta.

The full suspension soaked up bumps well, though it’s not as refined as premium builds. Top speed hovered around 45 km/h in our runs, which won’t break records but feels plenty fast when you’re flying down a dirt path.

It’s not built for portability or polish, but if raw off-road power is your goal, this one’s got legs and claws.

Expert Opinions

• Experts call it “the cheapest full-suspension fat tire e-bike with real off-road bite.”
• Admired for its powerful motor and surprisingly capable hill performance at this price point.
• Reviewers agree: It’s not luxury, but it’s built for serious terrain on a budget.

User Opinions

• Riders say it “feels unstoppable off-road,” and perfect for weekend trail rides.
• Many love the aggressive look and traction of the snakeskin tires.
• Common feedback includes difficulty sourcing parts and the bike’s heavy weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I legally ride these high-speed e-bikes on Canadian streets?

Most e-bikes sold in Canada are capped at 32 km/h for road legality. Bikes that exceed this speed like those with 1000W+ motors—are generally for off-road use and may require special licensing or permits, depending on the province.

2. What kind of range can I expect with these types of bikes?

Range varies based on terrain, rider weight, and assist mode. For example, the Cycrown Ultra offers up to 110 km under optimal conditions, while others like the AOSTIRMOTOR S18 range between 35–80 km.

3. How do I choose between power and portability?

Higher wattage usually means more weight. The Happyrun Tank G100, with dual batteries and a 2000W peak motor, weighs 48.5 kg, while more balanced models like the Cycrown Ultra weigh closer to 34 kg with slightly less peak power.

4. Are these bikes beginner-friendly or meant for experienced riders?

Some models, like the Tank G60 Pro and Cycrown Ultra, are beginner-friendly with features like hydraulic brakes, stable tires, and easy display systems. Others, like the AOSTIRMOTOR S18, cater more to experienced riders comfortable with heavier, rugged builds.

5. What’s the difference between full suspension and front suspension only?

Full suspension provides more comfort and control on uneven or off-road terrain—ideal for trail riders or longer commutes. Bikes like the Happyrun G100 offer full suspension, which was a noticeable advantage during our testing on mixed surfaces.

6. Are replacement parts and service easily available in Canada?

It varies. Brands like Cycrown and AOSTIRMOTOR have decent support, but some users reported delays or difficulty finding specific parts like stators or battery mounts. Availability is improving but still inconsistent across regions.
