Bottom line
The ENGWE E26 is a budget-priced electric fat bike. It has a 750W motor, a tidy integrated battery, and a rear rack with decent cargo capacity. The price-performance ratio impresses experts, who praise the “powerful” brakes, ride comfort, range, and “excellent” build quality. The bike’s very high weight means carrying and transportation are difficult. Though motor power is good, pedal assistance is unresponsive, and the bike can struggle on steep inclines. Complaints are mostly minor, especially given the relatively low price. Overall, experts consider the E26 a solid option for those seeking an affordable electric fat bike.
