11 reasons to buy
- Mokwheel offers the Tarmac as a step-through (Tarmac ST) or step-over; the step-over frame is available in two sizes.
- Testers appreciate the smooth ride over cobblestones, dirt roads, and gravel, thanks to the 80mm suspension fork and 29” x 2.35” tires.
- The knobby tires on the step-through Tarmac offer good grip on mixed terrains, according to reviewers.
- Experts praise the smooth, responsive pedal assist.
- The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in testing.
- Reviewers enjoy the comfortable, upright riding position.

5 reasons not to buy
- The step-over Large version has a stated height range of 5’7” to 6’7”, but a 5’9” reviewer finds the bike too tall.
- Multiple reviewers complain of rattling from the fenders and battery cover.
- The display is dim and unreadable through polarized sunglasses.
- The frame-integrated headlight doesn’t turn with the handlebars.
- The Tarmac reaches 28mph under throttle power when unlocked. This exceeds the e-bike limit of 20mph in most areas.
Bottom line
The Mokwheel Tarmac is a commuter e-bike with a 750W motor and 720Wh battery. The bike is available as a step-through or step-over, but only the step-over is tested. Reviewers appreciate the smooth pedal assist, strong brakes, powerful motor, and comfortable ride. The step-over build's knobby tires offer good grip on dirt and light gravel. Complaints are minimal, but the fender and battery cover rattle, and the display disappoints. The bike is also unsuitable for shorter riders. Overall, testers consider the Tarmac a well-rounded e-commuter.Expert Reviews
