FREESKY Ranger Plus M-540

Two 2500 W peak hub motors and a 48V 30Ah battery with Samsung/LG cells power the FREESKY Ranger Plus M-540, a step-through fat-tire e-bike with full suspension. It is for riders who want to step through the frame and still ride on two-wheel drive, and FREESKY gives range for one motor or both, so you can trade power for distance.
