5TH WHEEL LB16 750W Electric Bike for Adults vs SYX MOTO 20" Fat Tire Electric Bike for Adults

Buy the SYX MOTO if price and portability matter most: it is $349.00 at SYX MOTO as of November 3, 2026, versus $539.97 at Walmart for the 5TH WHEEL, and its frame folds. Buy the 5TH WHEEL if you want more motor power and a bigger battery for hills and longer rides. The SYX MOTO saves you about $191 up front, but it gives up roughly half the motor wattage and about 2.5Ah of battery capacity.

What reviewers say

5TH WHEEL LB16 750W Electric Bike for Adults

Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 160 ratings, the LB16 is generally well received for value and ride comfort. Buyers tend to like the fat tires and lights; complaints center on range and assembly.

Pros
  • Good value for a 750W fat-tire e-bike
  • Comfortable ride from the suspension and fat tires
  • Turn signals and lights add confidence at night
Cons
  • Real-world range falls short of 35 miles
  • Long charging time
  • Assembly and setup take effort

Questions and answers

Which is better for hills?
The 5TH WHEEL. Its 750W motor has roughly double the wattage of the SYX MOTO's 350W Bafang unit, which matters on climbs and with heavier riders.
Is the SYX MOTO worth saving $191?
Yes if you ride mostly flat streets and want a folding frame. The 5TH WHEEL's extra power and battery are worth the money only if you need them.
Which has the longer range?
The 5TH WHEEL claims 35 miles per charge from its 14.5Ah battery. The SYX MOTO claims about 24-37 miles in pedal assist, so real-world range is close, but the 5TH WHEEL has more capacity to spare.
Can I fold the 5TH WHEEL?
No. The 5TH WHEEL LB16 has a fixed aluminum frame. The SYX MOTO frame folds, which helps for storage and transport.
Which charges faster?
The SYX MOTO, at 2-4 hours. The 5TH WHEEL takes about 7 hours to charge its larger battery.
Do both have fat tires and suspension?
Yes. Both list 20 x 4.0 fat tires and a front suspension fork, and the 5TH WHEEL adds a middle shock.
