Aostirmotor Electric Bikes S18-1500W Fat Tire Electric Mountain Bike

We’re starting our lineup review with the fleet leader, the S18-1500W Fat Tire Electric Mountain Bike. This ebike is a full-featured, full-suspension, fat tire electric mountain bike, perfect for trail riding and hunting. The Aostirmotor S18-1500W is renowned for having a motor that twice as powerful as most other ebike motors used today.

The nominal output of this rear hub motor is 1500 watts, giving the bike incredible climbing and towing ability. Are you a big guy over 225 lbs? Are you gonna be hauling a quarry trailer? Then you should really consider the S18-1500W.

The heavy-duty 6061 aluminum alloy frame is full suspension, with a Zoom hydraulic fork with lockouts up front, and a strong spring absorber in the rear. The frame geometry is 100% unique to Aostrimotor, with aerodynamic lines and an integrated (removable) battery pack. Fenders are included.

The 1500W motor is paired with a long-range 48V/15Ah battery, housed within the frame of the bike. The battery can be removed for remote charging, and to protect it against weather extremes. Under averaging riding conditions, this battery pack should give you about 36 miles of range per charge. You can extend your range by moderating how much throttle and pedal assist you use, and by bring a spare battery to swap out.

The S18-1500W is comfortable to ride, although it does have a slightly forward riding posture and straight handlebars typical of electric mountain bikes. You can propel yourself under human power using the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain. And when you need a boost, you have access to a 5-level pedal assist system (PAS) and a right-side twist throttle. This will give you the ability to find the perfect combination of human and electric power for every riding condition.

Aostirmotor S17-1500W Electric Mountain Bike

Like the S18-1500W, the S17-1500W has a full-suspension, heavy-duty aluminum alloy frame, and a super-charged rear hub motor with a nominal output of 1500W and 80 Newton Meters (Nm) of torque.

In contrast, the S17-1500W sports a long-range 48V/20Ah battery, which should give the average rider almost 50 miles of range per charge. The battery is fully integrated into the unique bike frame, and can be removed for security and remote charging.

Another key difference between the S17-1500W and the S18-1500W are the wheel sets, with the former sporting 26” x 3” mountain bike tires and the latter featuring 26” x 4” fat tires. Deciding which tire format will work the best is really a personal choice. The narrower mountain bike tires will be more nimble and lighter weight; whereas the fat tires will provide more traction and stability.

Getting a tire with greater traction brings greater confidence, which translates to more fun and faster progression as a rider. If you have a need for speed, though, consider sacrificing a little grip to gain rolling efficiency.

Aostirmotor S18 Fat Tire Electric Mountain Bike

The S18 all-terrain fat tire electric mountain bike has many of the same design features as the S18-1500W, including the unique full-suspension frame design, integrated/removable 48V/15Ah lithium-ion battery with Samsung cells, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, 5-level pedal assist system, and right side twist throttle.

The essential difference between these two models is the motor output, with the S18 featuring a powerful 750W brushless rear hub motor and a max assist speed of 28 mph.

Aostirmotor S07 Fat Tire Electric Mountain Bike

If you are looking for an affordable fat tire electric mountain bike, consider the S07 model from Aostirmotor. Unlike the other ebikes reviewed above, the S07 does not have full-suspension frames. They are outfitted with hydraulic front shocks with lockouts, and hard-tails (meaning no rear shock absorber).

This model feature a heavy-duty aluminum alloy diamond shaped frame, with slightly angled top tubes and a forward riding posture. 

The Aostirmotor S07 features a 750W rear hub motor, which will give the rider an incredible boost when using the pedal assist system or twist throttle. The S07 has a 48V/13Ah battery for a longer range of travel per charge.

It features a 7-speed Shimano Sunrace derailleur and trigger/click shifter on the right side next to the throttle. The chain shifts smoothly across the cassette, giving you the ability to ride like a conventional mountain bike with only human power to propel you on your ride. Both models also have a 5-level pedal assist system (PAS) with speed (cadence) sensor. The twist throttle allows you to riding without pedaling, which is nice at the end of a ride when you just want to enjoy cruising along.

The mechanical disc brakes have 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors for authoritative stopping power. 

Aostirmotor A20 Fat Tire Folding Electric Bike

Last but certainly not least, we have the A02, a super affordable fat tire folder. This ebike has a central folding mechanism (hinge and clamp), and the tiller also folds down, making the A20 highly portable and storable. This is a great ebike for RVers and other outdoor enthusiasts, as well as students and others who want a cheap and fun fat tire electric bike.

Riding a 20” fat tire ebike is so much fun, especially when you go off-road and tackle some gnarly trails. The A20 loves the dirt, and also performs well on loose surfaces like sand, snow and gravel.

Even though the Aostirmotor A02 fat folder is one of the least expensive ebikes on the market today, it still features a powerful 500W rear hub motor, a decent 36V/13Ah removable lithium-ion battery, 5-levels of pedal assist, and a precise variable speed twist throttle. There is also a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, which allows you to ride the bike under human power.

The A20 has Tektro mechanical disc brakes front and rear, giving you strong stopping power when needed.
