Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Ecotric Bison. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

Buyers praise the power of the 1000W hub motor, saying it handles steep climbs well.
Testers say the fat tires and full suspension deliver smooth riding on roads and light trails.
Experts relish the traction and stability of the knobby, extra-wide 4.8" fat tires, one saying they're "great for sand."
The Bison's hydraulic disc brakes demonstrate ample stopping power in tests.
Reviewers say the battery provides around 40 miles range using pedal assist and 25 miles using the throttle alone.
With the max speed unlocked, the Bison easily reaches 28mph.

5 reasons not to buy

Experts say the Bison is only suited to riders 5'10" and upwards.
The Bison is very heavy, weighing in at 79lb.
Testers say that the bike is hard to pedal without assistance due to the 4.8" tires and high weight.
Reviewers note that the bike's size and weight make it incompatible with most car carriers.
Some owners report motor and battery issues.

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.

…this bike is cool. It’s definitely got the features that I wanted, but I would like another 1000W motor up front.

… it’s very comfortable to ride. Two minutes of riding, I I didn’t realize I was even riding, I was just cruising around with no problem going over grass, rocks; it didn’t matter.
