Introduction: A New Standard of Excellence
Every year, the electric bike industry becomes more competitive. New models launch faster, motors become stronger, batteries become larger, and spec sheets become longer. However, by 2025, performance alone will no longer be enough. What matters most is how an eBike performs in the real world—on trails, on hills, and in the environments riders actually use.
That’s why being recognized by Electric Bike Report matters.
In its highly anticipated Best Electric Bikes 2025 roundup, Electric Bike Report—one of the most trusted and influential electric bike review platforms in the world—highlighted two Mokwheel models: Obsidian and Basalt 2.0. These awards weren’t handed out lightly, nor were they based on marketing claims or isolated specs.
Instead, Electric Bike Report’s team evaluated bikes through thousands of miles of hands-on testing, covering real terrain, real riders, and real use cases. In a market filled with well-known names like Aventon and Lectric, Mokwheel stood out not by chasing trends, but by solving real rider problems.
The result? Two distinct awards that reflect two different, highly demanding riding scenarios—off-road exploration and camp-based adventure riding.
The Mountain Mover: Mokwheel Obsidian
Award: Best Full Suspension Fat Tire eBike
When Electric Bike Report named the Mokwheel Obsidian the Best Full Suspension Fat Tire eBike, it sent a clear message: this bike isn’t built for shortcuts. It’s built for terrain.
Built for Power, Not Just Speed
At the heart of the Obsidian is a 750W motor delivering up to 105Nm of torque—a level of output designed for steep climbs, loose surfaces, and unpredictable conditions. Whether tackling rocky trails, sand, snow, or deep gravel, the Obsidian doesn’t hesitate.
This kind of power places the Obsidian firmly in the category of serious off-road eBikes, especially for riders who need consistent performance rather than momentary bursts of speed.
Full Suspension That Actually Matters
Power is only useful if it can be controlled. That’s where Obsidian’s suspension system comes in.
- 130mm front suspension fork
- 50mm rear shock
Together, they absorb trail chatter, smooth out aggressive terrain, and reduce rider fatigue over long distances. Snow, sand, and rock gardens feel manageable—not punishing.
The Electric Bike Report emphasized how this setup allowed the Obsidian to stay planted and predictable, even when conditions changed quickly.
Stability Without Compromise
One of the reasons Obsidian earned top recognition is its balance. Available in both step-over and step-through frame designs, it maintains excellent stability regardless of rider preference. That flexibility allows more riders to experience true fat tire, full suspension capability—without sacrificing control or comfort.
The Obsidian proves that a fat tire eBike can be powerful, confident, and refined at the same time.
The Explorer’s Basecamp: Mokwheel Basalt 2.0
Award: Best Electric Bike for Camping
Where the Obsidian dominates rugged terrain, the Basalt 2.0 owns the campsite.
Electric Bike Report awarded the Basalt 2.0 the title of Best Electric Bike for Camping—and for good reason. This is not just a bike you ride to camp. It’s a bike that becomes part of your camp.
Speed, Control, and Confidence
As a Class 2 eBike, the Basalt 2.0 reaches speeds of up to 28 mph with pedal assist, offering fast travel on open roads while maintaining smooth, predictable control.
Its torque sensor plays a major role here, responding instantly to pedal pressure. On hills, loose dirt, or loaded rides with gear, the Basalt 2.0 feels natural and efficient rather than aggressive or jerky.
All-Terrain Readiness
Camping routes rarely stick to pavement. That’s why the Basalt 2.0 is equipped with:
- 110mm front suspension
- Shimano 8-speed drivetrain
- Fat tires for stability on mixed terrain
From forest roads to steep campground climbs, the bike adapts without forcing the rider to slow down or work harder than necessary.
The Game-Changer: Built-In Power
What truly set the Basalt 2.0 apart in Electric Bike Report’s testing was its massive energy capability. Featuring a 940Wh battery, it has the potential to function as a high-capacity mobile power station.
By adding our 1000W inverter (sold separately), you can power essential equipment anywhere—from coffee makers and electric grills to lighting and charging stations.
For campers, overlanders, and outdoor explorers, this transforms the bike from transportation into infrastructure.
The “Mokwheel Edge”: Powering Your Adventure
Across both award-winning models, Electric Bike Report identified a common advantage—the Mokwheel power ecosystem.
More Than a Ride: A Mobile Energy Hub
Both Obsidian and Basalt 2.0 feature inverter capability, allowing riders to use stored battery power beyond riding. This turns the bike into a central energy source for outdoor adventures, emergencies, or extended trips off-grid.
Solar Charging for Extended Independence
Optional solar charging compatibility further expands what’s possible. Riders can replenish power during multi-day trips, reducing reliance on traditional charging outlets.
This focus on energy independence is rare in the electric bike space—and it’s a major reason Mokwheel stands apart in a crowded 2025 market.
Conclusion: More Than Just a Bike
The Best Electric Bikes 2025 list from Electric Bike Report isn’t about hype—it’s about real-world performance. In that context, Mokwheel’s recognition speaks volumes.
- Obsidian earned its place through unmatched off-road capability, full suspension control, and serious torque.
- Basalt 2.0 stood out by redefining what a camping eBike can be, combining mobility with real, usable power.
Together, they represent Mokwheel’s philosophy: build eBikes that don’t just ride well, but support how people actually live, explore, and adventure.
In a competitive 2025 landscape filled with options, Mokwheel didn’t just make the list—it made a statement.
One path leads toward exploration across challenging terrain 🏔️🚵, and another centers on camping and outdoor living ⛺🌲—both are clearly laid out on
