TurboAnt Thunder T1

A well-built e-bike at an affordable price… This is undoubtedly the most comfortable bike I’ve used in my entire life… I no longer feel a pain in my butt at the end of each ride.

The Thunder T1’s smooth and comfortable performance, all-terrain capability, and battery flexibility already put it at the top of the fat-tire bike list, and the extra thought that is put into a throttle lock definitely speaks in its favor. Unfortunately, its buggy speedometer and even buggier battery meter call into question the quality assurance testing that is performed on such a critical aspect of a product that partially runs on battery power.

The T1’s design makes gravel roads seem not so gravelly and on-road riding feel like a magic carpet… I think that TurboAnt is on the right track with their bike. I still think they have a little ways to go before their bike is completely refined — things like the inaccurate speed and battery readout should be fixed — but aside from that, it’s a solid electric fat bike.

This is a big bike. It’s tall, taller than most bikes I would usually ride… It’s so fun. It’s like right on the edge of owning an electric dirtbike or a s****y motorcycle… I really hope the battery doesn’t die. This thing would suck to have to pedal back… It died…it’s so heavy, it’s very heavy.

Nice bike. Good commuter. Nothing too fancy but also everything you could need. I like the removable battery… Good throttle. Brakes are decent. Suspension’s decent… Street-legal. Nice ‘n’ fast. You don’t have to pedal, don’t burn any calories.

TurboAnt did send me this bike for free… I am very impressed with this bike. I am impressed with the torque and the acceleration of the bike… I love that I can get it up to 20mph on a paved road… I love the pedal-assist… If you are a serious prepper and you want to prepare for an emergency situation I think having a rugged electric bike like this could be a great addition to your emergency preps.

I always thought eBikes were for the lazy…but I discovered I can turn off the motor and get even more of a workout with higher heart rates riding this 73-pound behemoth around town rather than my usual ultralight bike… The TurboAnt is for cruising and having social fun, not for nimble handling.
