Ouxi V8 Ultra Max - Black

OUXI V8 Ultra Max at GOfatbike

The OUXI V8 Ultra Max is an electric fatbike with thick tires and a long saddle, built for two people to ride together. You sit upright, the motor assists as soon as you start pedaling, and the dual suspension smooths out the rough edges of the ride. Popular with people who want to sit firmly and comfortably without sacrificing speed. In this explanation, we go through what the V8 Ultra Max can do, where it excels, and what to watch out for before you choose. No sales pitch, just the honest points.

Entry and comfort

The first thing you notice when you get on is how smooth the bike feels. The frame is sturdy, the saddle is long, and you sit upright, so you don’t have to twist to sit comfortably. The dual suspension absorbs shocks when the road gets rough, which especially helps on longer rides. Want to ride with two? The included footrests make that possible. To be fair: this is not a sporty, forward-leaning bike. If you’re looking for that feeling of a tight racing saddle, this isn’t the bike for you. Comfort comes first, and you notice that on every ride.

Range and battery

The battery is integrated into the frame and you remove it to charge indoors. How far you go depends on your weight, the wind, how much assistance you use, and whether you tackle many hills. So don’t count on a fixed number, but on a range. If you ride calmly and on flat roads, you’ll get quite far. If you set the assistance high and accelerate hard each time, the battery drains faster. A full charge takes a few hours. It’s convenient that you can take the battery inside separately, so you don’t have to carry the whole bike.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The motor delivers 250W and assists you up to 25 km/h. You pedal yourself, there is no throttle, so the bike counts as a regular electric bike. No driver's license, no registration plate, and no helmet requirement to ride to work or the store. What we advise against: tuning the bike to go faster. If you exceed the allowed limit, you fall out of the regular e-bike category and very different rules apply. The brakes and frame are not built for those higher speeds, and you lose your warranty. So don't do it.

Tires, brakes, and riding feel

The wide 20x4 inch tires provide grip on sand, grass, and wet asphalt, and they roll smoothly where narrower tires bounce. The riding feel is calm and stable, not nervous. You brake with hydraulic disc brakes, which also work well in the rain and provide a short stopping distance. With 7 Shimano gears, you can easily shift down for a climb or up for a straight stretch. The downside of all that rubber and steel? Weight. This bike is not light, so lifting it up a step requires muscle power. Keep that in mind if you don’t have an elevator.

Who is this fatbike for

The V8 Ultra Max is for those who want to ride comfortably and upright, to work, for errands, or a weekend ride. The low, easy step-through is nice if you don’t want to lift your leg high every time. Because of the large size, taller people also sit comfortably. Do you often ride with two? Then that long saddle is exactly what you’re looking for. It’s less suitable for those who want a light, agile bike to carry on the train or bus, or for those who want to ride sporty and fast. Let’s be honest.
