4 reasons not to buy

Bottom line

The Nebula N1 is a fat-tired rig that ships as a Class 2 e-Bike with a 20mph top speed. Owners can override the bike's limiter to allow a throttle-assisted maximum speed of 28mph. The N1 is almost identical to TurboAnt’s Thunder T1, but with the addition of a concealed internal battery that contributes to a sleeker look. It also has 2.7” of standover than the T1, increasing confidence on dismounts. An RST suspension fork will iron out bumps on uneven pavement and dirt roads. However, the N1 should not be thrown down off-road trails or be used to attain sick air. The N1 is fitted with name-brand, mid-range parts. It suits buyers seeking a low-cost, all-terrain cruising e-bike.

TurboAnt Thunder T1 Fat-Tire Electric Bike Review – Unbeatable for the Price

Level 3 expert

A well-built e-bike at an affordable price… TurboAnt actually releases two versions of the fat-tire e-bikes, which are the Thunder T1 and Nebula N1… the only difference is the T1 comes with an external battery while the N1 has an internal battery… the N1 looks a bit sleeker as they hide the battery and controller inside the frame.

TurboAnt Nebula N1 Review – Great Fat Tire Ebike, Even Better Price!

Level 2 expert

So what makes the Nebula N1 fat tire electric bike special? The price. That 14Ah battery should be easily good for 20 miles with lots of throttle and high pedal assist levels… Standout features include the cleaner look of the integrated battery.

2021 TurboAnt Nebula N1 Unboxing, Assembly, & First Ride

Level 1 expert

The brakes were responsive and I felt in control as I traversed both sidewalk and bike paths in the snow… The TurboAnt Nebula N1 offers plenty of power at a competitive price point… Although the design of the bike is heavy and somewhat cumbersome, it has up to 60 miles of range which is more than enough for anyone requiring a commuter bike.
