Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Hiboy EX7. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- All reviewers praise the comfortable ride.
- In testing, the EX7 handles steep hills on throttle power alone.
- Testers say the Chaoyang puncture-resistant 4" tires offer good grip on dirt trails.
- The throttle and pedal assist activation are responsive, according to experts.
- Reviewers easily reach 20mph with the throttle and 28mph with PAS.
- Experts say the adjustable suspension fork works well, even on off-road terrains.
- Relying mostly on the throttle, a tester gets 18 miles of range on hilly off-road terrain.
- Two reviewers say the EX7 has a good turning radius for a fat-tire e-bike.

12 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers find the EX7 heavy and clunky.
- An expert complains that the motor continues providing power for up to two seconds after pedaling stops.
- Reviewers say the rear shock is too stiff, and it's not adjustable.
- The mechanical disc brakes on a tester's bike are squeaky, requiring adjustment.
- Reviewers say the increase in power between pedal assist levels is uneven, and PAS level 1 is too powerful.
- Two experts find power delivery abrupt, one even calling it scary.
- The suspension fork on a tester's bike leaks after the first ride.
- Experts say the metal fenders are noisy when riding off-road.
- Charging time is a lengthy nine hours due to the small 2A charger.
- The EX7’s large frame and minimum seat height of 31.8” mean riders at the low end of the stated height range (5’3” to 6’3”) may struggle to fit.
- Many customer reviews and ratings for the EX7 on online retail platforms appear fake.
- The IPX4 water resistance rating means the EX7 cannot handle more than light splashes, so owners should avoid riding in heavy rain.
Bottom line
The Hiboy EX7 is a fat-tire e-bike with full suspension, a 750W motor, an 864Wh battery, and a step-through frame. Comfort, the effective suspension fork, and range impress reviewers who praise the responsive motor activation and hill-climbing power. However, abrupt power delivery, lagging pedal assist disengagement, and uneven power distribution detract from the ride. Other criticisms highlight the stiff, non-adjustable rear shock, the heavy and large frame, and rattling fenders. All things considered, the EX7 fails to stand out in the entry-level fat-tire segment.Expert Reviews
