My 6.5 mile ride to work takes around 17 minutes. The 52v 20ah battery, 33a controller, and 1000/'1800'w (1716w max I suppose) motor are nice. It should sell quite well.Ĭlick to expand.We have two Keplers and I would agree here. So, anyway, I wish ArielRider the best on this newest Ebeast. Quite the bummer to deal with on every rotation of the wheel. I had already discovered (thru the internet) that those TANNUS inserts can develop a flat spot if left idle for a period of time. Recently the tires were replaced due to tread wear and he found that the pink inserts had squished down to the thickness of a Hershey candy bar (his words)- not a good thing. He mentioned that he had installed the pink TANNUS inserts ($50+ per tire) on his beast. I recently had a chance encounter with another fat tire ebike owner. There is also a later date UpDate to that #3 thread on the M2S forum. Of those 13 postings, I believe the following to be the most important: Not to toot my own horn, but over on the M2S forum, I have posted 13 separate threads, all containing decent information about my fat tire ebike (26” tires) with the rear hub motor. However, this new KEPLER beast is right on the $$$ for its intended market- especially casual riders and/or people my age.

Those two ebikes are pretty much carbon copies of the Kepler, with the exception of its more powerful rear hub motor (its 1,000+watts vs their 750+watts).īeing 70 years old, I learned a very hard lesson in dealing with the shortcomings (at least in my particular case) of the X52.

I know this because, in addition to the aforementioned 2021 X52 beast, I also own two fat tire ebikes (26” tires). While the X52 is actually a moped/scooter variation, this KEPLER ebike is indeed an electric bicycle. It appears that they have pretty much addressed every + for buying/owning a quality fat tire 26” wheel ebike.Īs an owner of their X-52 (the 2021 model) “ebike”, I can appreciate this KEPLER for both its practicality and the awesome power of its rear hub motor. Kudo's to ArielRider on this new KEPLER E-beast.
