OUXI V8 Ultra Mini - Gray

OUXI V8 Ultra Mini gray at GOfatbike

The OUXI V8 Ultra Mini in gray is a compact electric fatbike with thick tires and a low frame. Gray is a calm, neutral shade that suits the rugged fatbike look and helps hide dust or dirt a bit better. Underneath the color is the familiar V8 Ultra Mini: wide tires, a 250W motor, and disc brakes in a small, agile size. Below you can read what this gray version can do and who the size works for.

Compact size and seating

The bike is small, you can see that immediately. The gray frame is short and low, so mounting is easy and you can quickly put a foot down. The air-sprung front fork absorbs the biggest shocks from the road. The saddle is a wide two-person model with stripe design, comfortable for staying seated on a short ride. Keep in mind that the compact size results in a more compact riding position. This is nice for shorter riders, but if you are tall, you will feel tighter than you are used to.

Range and battery

The V8 Ultra Mini runs on a removable 36V 10.4Ah battery that you can click out to charge indoors. How far you get on one charge depends on many factors: your weight, the wind, the level of assistance, and whether the route is flat or not. So consider a margin rather than one fixed number. For the ride to work, school, or the store, one charge is enough. If you prefer to ride long distances in one go, recharging on the way or a spare battery is worth considering.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The motor delivers 250W and kicks in as soon as you start pedaling. Assistance cuts out around 25 km/h, and you pedal on your own beyond that. There is no throttle, so pedaling along is mandatory. This means the V8 Ultra Mini is classified as a regular electric bike, with no license, registration, or helmet requirement. Thinking of tuning it up? Better not. That would take the bike out of the legal category, while the brakes and frame are not designed for higher speeds. Plus, your warranty will be voided.

Tires, brakes, and riding feel

The tires measure 16 by 4.5 inches, substantial for this size, so you have grip on asphalt, grass, and loose sand. Due to the small wheel size, the gray V8 Ultra Mini steers directly and handles tight turns smoothly. Disc brakes provide stopping power, even when wet. On the LCD display, you can read speed and battery level, and it has lighting with turn signals. The riding feel is stable with a playful edge. A fatbike, no matter how compact, isn’t something you just lift up easily.

Who is this fatbike for

The V8 Ultra Mini is mainly for those looking for a small, agile bike. Great if storage space is limited, if you ride a lot in the city, or if a large fatbike frame feels too bulky. Shorter riders also sit comfortably due to the low build, as the ground is close. To be honest: if you are tall or often take longer rides at once, you’ll have more space and go further on a fatbike with a larger frame and bigger battery. Unsure about the size?
