Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Mokwheel Onyx. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- The Mokwheel Onyx is available as a step-through (Onyx ST) or step-over.
- Reviewers say the suspension (130mm front, 50mm rear) and 4” tires provide a comfortable ride over dirt trails, sand, and grass.
- In testing, the bike easily handles steep inclines on throttle power alone.
- Experts relish the smooth and natural-feeling pedal assist.
- The four-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes with 203mm rotors deliver strong stopping power.
- A 215lb reviewer gets 23.4 miles of range over mixed terrain with throttle-heavy riding.
- Testers appreciate the gearing range and smooth shifting of the Shimano CUES drivetrain.
- The Onyx comes with a headlight and fenders.
- A 6’5” reviewer enjoys the comfortable upright riding position, and the stem angle is adjustable.
- Multiple testers compliment the paint finish, especially the camo color.
12 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers say the throttle acceleration causes the front wheel to lift.
- At 88 to 89lb, the Onyx is very heavy for its category.
- Testers note the motor power cutting out when hitting large bumps.
- Two reviewers experience the bike shutting off unexpectedly while riding.
- A 5’10” tester finds the standover height high.
- Reviewers complain that the kickstand and the fenders rattle over rough terrain, and one reports a cracked rear fender.
- The unlocked throttle powers the bike to 39mph, breaching e-bike limits.
- The taillight is externally powered.
- The dual-crown fork creates a large turning radius.
- Experts are disappointed by the choice of Chaoyang tires at this price point.
- The display is hard to read through polarized sunglasses.
- Mokwheel has a poor reputation for customer support and fails to clarify the confusing and inconsistent motor specs when asked.
Bottom line
The Mokwheel Onyx is a full-suspension mid-drive e-bike with fat tires. This combination is overkill for casual riders, and the aggressive power won't suit beginners, but testers say the bike offers plenty for outdoor enthusiasts. Strong climbing power, smooth pedal assist, reliable brakes, and a comfortable ride over light trails earn praise. The bike's high weight and limited maneuverability make it a poor choice for technical off-roading. Overall, experts like the Onyx, but a bike at this price point shouldn't suffer from unexplained shut-offs, the motor cutting out over bumps, and rattling parts.Expert Reviews
