Bottom line
Pedal Electric’s AWD [S] is the fourth iteration of its premium moto-style e-bike, and one of a growing range of dual-motor e-bikes. Like most competitors, it’s not without its share of issues, most notably the “garbage” rear shocks. Pedal Electric’s poor customer support is cause for worry. Testers love the powerful brakes, high speed, rapid acceleration, and ability to climb hills with a passenger, but this power and the bike’s weight make it poorly suited to off-roading. Testers are happy with the AWD [S] despite its drawbacks, but they recommend it only for riders who don't mind spending time and money tinkering.Expert Reviews
