Some riders buy speedy throttle-equipped e-bikes to use as affordable, effort-free means of transportation. Others enjoy pedaling powerful e-bikes with the muscle to flatten hills and tear through loose dirt or sand. Still others prefer mid-power e-bikes for commuting or errand running, allowing for smooth, easy pedaling that doesn’t leave them sweaty.
Based on my experience, I’d say that the 40-lb Mokwheel Flint Pro is likely to appeal to the latter group, in addition to those seeking an active e-bike for fitness purposes. Its torque-sensing 250W hub motor provides responsive, supplemental power for easier pedaling and a boost of speed—all without taking away the natural feel of an analog bike.
Truly, I found it difficult to identify the Flint as an e-bike at
first glance, as its tiny Mivice motor isn’t much larger than a standard wheel hub. Additionally, the unobtrusive, minimal display could easily be mistaken for a handlebar-mounted accessory. Only the Flint’s removable battery is an obvious tell, but even then, its slight down tube looks similar to that of a non-electric bike.
