8 reasons to buy

The Asphalt is available in a step-over or step-through frame, the latter comes in two sizes: standard or large.
Testers praise the smooth power delivery and responsive motor engagement.
Reviewers agree the handlebars and riding position of both builds are comfortable.
The Asphalt is agile and easy to maneuver, according to experts.
Experts appreciate the customizability of the pedal assist and throttle settings.

11 reasons not to buy

Experts complain that ghost pedaling starts at 23mph.
The Asphalt returns below-average results in a max pedal assist range test.
Reviewers find the control buttons too small to push accurately, and one says the panel feels cheap.
Testers complain that the battery indicator is hard to interpret.
Two experts show the battery doesn’t sit flush in the frame and rattles while riding.
According to reviewers, the instruction manual contains errors, such as recommending incorrect PSI.
The large hole on the down tube for cable routing may allow water to enter the frame and increase wear.
A tester finds the suspension fork is easy to bottom out for riders near the bike's 350lb limit.
The mounting bracket for the display breaks for three owners.
Testers find the display hard to read with polarized sunglasses.
Buyers warn that Mokwheel customer support is unreliable and unhelpful.

Bottom line

The Mokwheel Asphalt is a commuter e-bike with a 500W motor and 706Wh battery. It’s available with a step-over or step-through frame. The bike earns praise for its smooth, comfortable ride, customizable pedal assist settings, responsive motor, and included accessories. Speed, power, and range are unremarkable but adequate for typical city commuting. The chief complaint is the lack of high gearing to pedal at speeds beyond 23mph. Other issues include rattling batteries, a hard-to-use control pad, and a fragile display mount. Most reviewers feel the Asphalt offers good value, but buyers should be cautious of Mokwheel's poor reputation for customer support.
