EDIKANI EDS01 26" Fat Tire Electric Bike Review: Can It Really Go 90 Miles?

The EDIKANI 26-inch electric bike is a powerhouse machine built for riders who want to go fast, ride far, and tackle any kind of terrain. At just $699, you get a bike that normally costs much more, with a massive 864Wh battery that takes you 90 miles on one charge when you pedal along, or 40 miles if you just use the throttle. The strong 1500W motor zooms you up to 34 miles per hour and climbs steep hills with no problem, even when you're carrying heavy stuff. The thick 4-inch fat tires are perfect for riding on sand at the beach, snow in winter, muddy trails in the woods, or regular city streets. You also get a smart phone app that lets you lock your bike, track where it is, and see how far you've ridden, plus a color screen on the handlebars that shows your speed and battery level.

This bike is perfect for people who want one bike that does everything - ride to work during the week, hit the trails on weekends, and haul groceries or gear whenever needed. The rear rack holds more than 330 pounds, so you can load it up with camping equipment, shopping bags, or even attach a child seat. With 7 speeds to choose from and 5 different riding modes including cruise control and walk mode, you can ride however you want. The price of $699 is amazing for what you get - most bikes with this much power and battery cost over $1,200. Adventure seekers, daily commuters who have long rides, and anyone who needs to carry cargo will love this bike.

However, this bike isn't right for everyone. It doesn't fold up, so if you live in a small apartment or need to take your bike on public transportation, this won't work well. The charging time of 8 to 9 hours is quite long, so you need to plan ahead and charge it overnight. The steel frame makes it heavier than aluminum bikes, which matters if you need to lift it up stairs or onto a bike rack. It only has suspension in the front, not the back, so really bumpy trails might feel uncomfortable. Also, there's no UL certification mentioned, which some safety-conscious buyers specifically look for. If you mainly ride on smooth city streets and want something light and easy to store, you might want to consider a lighter, foldable model instead.
