Off-road excursions demand a durable, robust, and long-range e-bike. Your e-bike should offer a comfortable ride and easy maneuverability on rugged terrain. Let's take a closer look at the key features of the Obsidian, Cobra, and Ranger to determine which one excels.
Motor: The Mokwheel Obsidian boasts the most powerful motor in its category, featuring a 1000W rear hub motor. Its rear hub positioning enhances acceleration when climbing hills and navigating rough terrain. The 1000W motor, along with the latest torque sensor, adds to the joy of riding. In contrast, the Ranger and Cobra come with lower-rated 750W motors, providing top speeds of 28 mph and 25 mph, respectively.
Range: The Mokwheel Obsidian leads in the range department as well, thanks to its 48V battery producing 940W, offering a range of approximately 80 miles. Despite having the highest-watt motor, the Obsidian's impressive range speaks to the quality and efficiency of its technical components. The Cobra also provides up to 75 miles of worry-free travel.
Power Station: While an extensive range and a powerful motor contribute to a rider's excitement, the Mokwheel Obsidian has another exciting feature: the power station. You can connect the Mokwheel Obsidian to Mokwheel inverters and solar panels to power your appliances or charge your battery. Therefore, if you're concerned about running out of power during an excursion, the Mokwheel Obsidian has you covered. The Cobra and Ranger lack this feature.
Shock Absorber: Riders wish for an ebike with shock absorption to maximize their comfort; hence, the Obsidian uses advanced air rear shocks for shock absorption that provide a silky smooth ride. The latest damping technology absorbs any bumps and ensures a pleasurable ride even at high speeds. The Ranger also features a rear air shock that enhances its suspension, and when combined with the front fork, it excels in high-speed stability.

During our experience in producing mountain e-bikes, we've understood that an all-terrain e-bike should offer full suspension for comfort, but this comfort shouldn't compromise durability. That's why, with the Obsidian, we've incorporated advanced components to create an ideal ride for excellent offroad performance.
Brakes: All the contenders use hydraulic brakes, but Obsidian's Tektro E-350 brakes set a higher standard in the braking department for this category. Tektro brakes are highly efficient and responsive, ensuring your safety during your rides.
Tires: The Obsidian, Cobra, and Ranger are all fat-tire e-bikes, featuring tires wider than 4 inches, which aids in their maneuverability on rugged terrains. However, navigating rugged terrains can expose your tires to punctures and increased wear and tear. To keep our customers stress-free, we've equipped the Obsidian with Chaoyang's puncture-resistant tires, designed to withstand the challenges of such terrains.
Comfort: E-bikes with shock absorption are a dream come true for mountain e-bikers, and the Obsidian has turned that dream into a reality. The shock absorption is complemented by the aluminum frame, which can handle bumps without creating bothersome rattling noises. The Cobra and Ranger also use aluminum frames, making them durable for demanding adventures.
Obsidian's standout feature in this category is its versatility for all riders. It offers a rider height range between 5'6" and 6'8" and has an impressive payload capacity.
