Bottom line
The Mokwheel Basalt ST 2.0 is a fat-tire e-bike with a 750W motor and 924.9Wh battery. The 2.0 is updated with a larger chainring, a detachable display, and integrated turn signals. The range, ride comfort, powerful motor, and brakes earn praise. However, the bike slightly exceeds e-bike classifications, and changing the speed limit settings does nothing in one reviewer's experience. Other reported problems include play in the adjustable stem, inaccurate sizing, and a delayed speedometer readout. Nonetheless, testers recommend the Basalt ST 2.0 for its performance at this price point.
