PUCKIPUPPY Labrador Pro

Suspension at both ends and a torque sensor set the PUCKIPUPPY Labrador Pro apart: it is a fat-tire electric mountain bike for trails, gravel, sand and snow. A removable 960 Wh battery and an 8-speed drivetrain round out the package.

Highlights

• Torque sensing: PUCKIPUPPY pairs a torque sensor with cadence sensing, so assist follows how hard you press on the pedals; a thumb throttle sits on the bar (see torque vs cadence sensors).
• 750 W motor: 1350 W at peak; 32 km/h on the throttle and up to 45 km/h with pedal assist, by the brand's figures.
• 960 Wh battery: 48V 20Ah, removable, IPX7 and certified to UL 2271 by SGS; the brand rates it for 64–129 km.
• Dual suspension: a 110 mm adjustable front fork with lockout plus rear suspension; PUCKIPUPPY gives no rear travel figure.
• Tires, brakes and gears: 26 x 4.0 in fat tires, hydraulic discs on 180 mm rotors and Shimano 8-speed gearing.
• Frame: 6061 aluminum alloy with a 28.6 in standover; 38.9 kg, rated for 181 kg in total.

Who it suits
