Overview
The Macfox X2 is a UL2849-certified, Class 2 electric bike with a 1000W motor, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, and a removable 48V 20Ah battery rated for a 45 mile range. Its 20-inch fat tires and aluminum frame target daily adults commuting in cities.
Class 2 classification caps assisted top speed at 20mph, which keeps the bike within many bike-lane and path rules rather than pushing for maximum speed. Riders switch between pedal-assist and full throttle modes, with a hydraulic front fork adding some cushioning on rough pavement.
- UL2849 and Class 2 compliant
- 1000W motor, 20mph capped top speed
- 48V 20Ah removable battery, 45 mile range
- Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear
Who it's for
Aimed at commuters who want a certified, legally-compliant e-bike for city riding rather than off-road speed. Not the choice for anyone wanting a bike that exceeds 20mph under power.
