BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Mokwheel Obsidian. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- Testers relish the Obsidian’s power and high pedal assist speeds.
- Reviewers easily dominate hills using pedal assist.
- The suspension (130mm front, 50mm rear), saddle, and tires provide a comfortable ride on bumpy roads and over rocky terrain, say reviewers.
- The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes prove powerful and responsive in testing.
- The tested range falls short of the claimed 60 to 80 miles, but an expert says the real-world 33 to 60 miles is impressive with such a powerful motor.
- Reviewers agree the handling is stable, predictable, and precise.
- Testers appreciate the Chaoyang Big Daddy tires' puncture protection and good traction in varied terrains.
- The Obsidian is rated to carry 400lb.
- The bike has lights, fenders, a kickstand, and a horn.
11 reasons not to buy
- Mokwheel’s woeful customer feedback includes complaints of undelivered or broken bikes and non-existent customer support.
- Getting replacement parts for this bike appears to be a big problem.
- With its 1,000W motor, this e-bike exceeds e-bike power limits in most jurisdictions.
- The Obsidian isn't allowed on most MTB trails or bike paths.
- Pedaling this 83lb bike without motor assistance is "very hard," as are lifting and transporting it.
- The high (36.7") minimum seat height and limited 5" adjustment mean the stated rider fit (5’6” to 6'8”) is completely unrealistic at both ends of the range.
- Testers say motor re-engagement after braking or coasting can take almost a full rotation of the pedals.
- The non-integrated rear light must be charged separately, and owners say the headlight isn't very bright.
- There is no security mechanism to stop a thief from powering the bike on and riding it.
- Both the front and rear suspension are basic, budget components.
- The bike is designed to mount a rack on the rear triangle. This can bring cargo into conflict with the seat and seatpost as the suspension compresses.
