Bottom line
The Ecotric Bison is a full-suspension e-mountain bike with a powerful 1000W hub motor and 4.8" fat tires. Experts enjoy the riding range, hill climbing ability, smooth ride, and extra-wide tires. However, this bike weighs 79lb, so pedaling without assistance is challenging, as is maneuvering through technical off-road sections. The Bison is unsuitable for riders below 5'10", and several buyers report experiencing technical issues with their motors or batteries. While the Bison is deemed a "fun" bike, it's only really suitable for urban and light off-roading.Expert Reviews
