OUXI C80 Mini - Blue

OUXI C80 Mini blue at GOfatbike

The OUXI C80 Mini in blue is a compact electric fatbike with wide tires and a short frame. Blue is a fresh color that stands out a bit more than black or gray, without being overwhelming. The rest is the same as any C80 Mini: pedal assist up to 25 km/h, fat tires, and disc brakes in a size that’s easy to store. Below, we go through the blue C80 Mini and who it suits.

Compact size and comfort

The size immediately stands out. The blue C80 Mini is shorter and lower than a regular fatbike, so mounting is easy and you can quickly put a foot down. The air-sprung front fork absorbs the first shocks from the road. The saddle is a wide two-person model with a stripe design. Because of the small size, you sit more compactly than on a large frame. If you’re tall, the posture may feel tight. For short rides, it’s perfectly fine.

Range and battery

The battery is a removable 36V 10.4Ah pack that you take out of the frame to charge indoors. How far you go on a full charge varies per ride. Your weight, the wind, how much assistance you use, and whether you’re climbing or riding flat all matter. So don’t count on one fixed number, but rather a range. For short trips to work, school, or the store, the battery is more than sufficient. If you plan long rides back to back, it’s smart to be able to recharge on the go or have a second charge ready.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The C80 Mini has a 250W motor that assists as soon as you start pedaling. The assistance stops around 25 km/h, after which you pedal on your own power. There is no throttle, so you really have to pedal yourself. This means the bike counts as a regular electric bike: no license, no registration, no helmet required. Want to make it go faster? Don’t. Tuning it out of this category voids your warranty, and the brakes and frame aren’t built for higher speeds.

Tires, brakes, and riding feel

The tires are 16 by 4.5 inches, thick for their size, so you maintain grip on asphalt, grass, and a beach. Due to the small wheel size, the blue C80 Mini steers nimbly and easily handles tight turns. Braking is done with disc brakes that also perform well when wet. An LCD display shows speed and battery level, and there are lights with turn signals. Riding feels stable and a bit playful thanks to the short frame. Do you often lift it onto a curb? A fatbike remains on the heavy side.

Who is this fatbike for

The C80 Mini is best suited for those who want a compact bike for short rides. Handy if your storage space is small, if you often ride in the city, or if a large fatbike frame feels too bulky. Also comfortable for smaller riders because the low, short size makes it easy to reach the ground. To be fair: if you are tall or take long rides at once, you will probably be more comfortable and have more range on a fatbike with a larger frame and bigger battery. Unsure about the size? Then also take a look at the larger fatbikes.
