The Koa Rev fat-tire e-bike is available now at Retrospec. The e-bike has a sturdy frame with a flexible suspension that makes it a comfortable ride for newcomers to the e-bike space. On top of this, the tires on the bike are four inches wide making them fit for both tarmac and off-road riding alike.
The Koa Rev e-bike has a 750-watt motor that outputs as much as 20 miles per hour, which is the legal limit in most jurisdictions. The bike boasts a 48-volt battery that can supply this motor with enough power for 48 miles of range, or enough for two-hour-long trips before needing to charge. The Koa Rev retails for $1,699 USD, though this is justified by the bike being suited for nearly any condition and nearly any rider.
