How far can it go on a charge?

5TH WHEEL claims about 37.5 miles on throttle only and up to 67 miles in pedal-assist mode. Real range depends on rider weight, terrain and assist level.

Is it fast enough for commuting?

It is a Class 2 bike limited to 20 mph, with a 500W motor that handles moderate hills. That is typical for this class and fine for bike lanes and paths.

Can it carry a heavy rider?

The maximum load is 331 lb, which is higher than many folding e-bikes. The steel frame supports that rating but adds weight.

Yes, the frame folds and the seat height adjusts. At 65 lb it is easier to roll or lift with help than to carry far.

What comes in the box?

The bike ships with a charger, installation tools and a user manual. Some assembly is required before the first ride.

How does it compare with aluminum folding e-bikes?

It costs less in features per dollar than many aluminum rivals but weighs more. You trade portability for a sturdier steel frame and fat tires.

Our take on the 5TH WHEEL W11B 20" Fat Tire Electric Bike

The 5TH WHEEL W11B is a folding Class 2 electric bike with 20-inch fat tires, a 500W rear hub motor and a 48V 15.6Ah battery. It tops out at 20 mph and claims up to 37.5 miles on throttle alone or about 67 miles with pedal assist. Front suspension, mechanical disc brakes, a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain and an LCD display round it out. It suits riders who want a compact, stable fat-tire bike for commuting, errands and light trails, though at 65 lb it is heavy to lift and carry.
