The Mokwheel Obsidian ST is somewhat of an enigma; it’s not every day that we review huge, heavy, and powerful all-terrain e-bikes that also prioritize accessibility.
In contrast with most similar bikes in this category we’ve tested, the step-thru, or ST, version of the Obsidian features a V-shaped
frame with a low standover height of 19”. This allows riders to quickly mount and dismount the bike without lifting a leg over the saddle, making it ideal for those with limited mobility—or simply anyone who prioritizes ease and comfort.
We previously reviewed the high-step (HS) version, which is nearly identical to the newer ST model. Aside from the absence of a top tube, the Obsidian ST has a slightly different placement of its rear
shock, a reduced—but still impressive—total payload capacity (due to its different frame), and an additional inch of saddle height adjustment over the HS.
