Ecotric Matt Green 48V Fat Tire Portable and Folding Electric Bike
Review - We read the reviews so you don’t have to.
Summary Specs: Step-over electric bike, 48V 15Ah 500W, 29-52miles, 25(mph), folding, city bike, front suspension, 20x4” fat tires, horizontal handlebars, rear drive, disk brakes, weight 63lbs, cargo 200lbs, inseam 27-29 inches.
The following points have been compiled from various reviews. When you read a bike’s reviews, patterns can be seen:
Strengths
• The best electric bike I have ever owned...compares equally with bikes costing hundreds more.
• Awesome fun to ride, great battery life and cool looking.
• Reasonably priced.
• The 5 speed pedal assist worked great. [Note: current version has 7 speeds]
• Bike folds up pretty nice (kind of of tough until you get used to it).
• Ecotric tech department is real good. It usually takes 24 hours for them to get back to you, but they do and they take care of any concerns you have.
Weaknesses
• Easy to put together, but the manual was no help.
• The included lights are truly crummy, so I bought a rear strobe and a front light that actually lights my way.
Display is OK
Throttle seems like its not really a throttle but an on/off switch based on peddle assist level. Not terrible, but a progressive throttle would be better.
Seat not comfortable if you sit on the seat a lot. I replaced it with an old cruiser seat that I had laying around.
Folds up to fit well in my truck bed.
Conclusion: I'm glad I got this bike.
Comments
• It is odd that this bike does not really have a name!
Brushless Gear Motor
- Powerful 48V 500W brushless Gear Motor
Upgraded Li-Lion Battery
- 48V 15AH high quality Li-Lion battery & energy saving motor
- Max travel range up to 29 miles under pure electric mode and 52 miles in pedal assisted mode
Color LCD Display

SHIMANO 7 Speed Derailleur
It has three different modes: A manual pedal mode, pedal assist (7 different speeds), and electric mode or throttle.
- Pedal-Mode The bike is ridden just like a regular bicycle, powered only by the rider
- Pedal-Assist–Mode The onboard computer activates the motor only when the pedals are turning in order to assist the rider. This mode makes it easier to pedal up hills and against the wind or to go faster on flat ground. The rider can control the level of assistance received from the motor by adjustments to the display unit mounted on the handlebars
- Electric–Mode The rider simply twists the throttle to engage the motor and start moving (similar to the operation of a moped). No pedaling is needed when using the bike in this mode, making it great for taking a break without necessarily having to stop traveling.
