What I said about the Mokwheel Obsidian
A full-suspension fat tire e-bike with a big 1000W hub motor and an optional inverter that turns the battery into a power station.
This is my initial review after unboxing and building the Obsidian. The dual suspension makes it really comfortable, the 1000W motor has plenty of power on and off road, and I love the styling, especially in yellow. The optional inverter is something I haven't seen from any other e-bike company: I charged one of my Toro yard tool batteries off the bike's battery, which makes this a fun pick for bike camping.
