MSRP

The Grizzly is a dual-motor, dual-battery moped-style bike that's a blast off-road. Know the law first: above 28 mph it is not a legal e-bike in most states — treat it as off-road or private-property fun. See our e-bike laws guide before you ride.

What we love

Two-wheel drive and dual batteries are genuinely wild
Full suspension makes the speed usable
Moto styling done right

What we'd change

99 lb is a lot of bike to manage

Our verdict

By Sean Lupton · June 9, 2026 · Scored 7.9/10 against how we score

Research-based verdict. This score is an editorial assessment built from spec analysis, verified owner reports, and independent third-party testing — not our own test ride (yet).

The Grizzly is a dual-motor, dual-battery moped-style machine for thrill-seekers with private land or off-road access. Two-wheel drive, full suspension, and moto styling make it a genuine blast — but this is emphatically not a bike-path or daily-commuter tool. Anyone expecting a normal, road-legal e-bike should skip it entirely; at 99 lb and with serious power on tap, it's a specialist toy.

The 7.9 reflects wild capability tempered by practicality. Motor-and-power-delivery is enormous — 2WD with dual 52V packs — and full suspension makes that speed usable, while a 1820Wh battery supports real range for the class. The score is pulled down hard by the safety and legal reality: its off-road top speed exceeds the 28 mph e-bike limit, so it is not road-legal as a bicycle in most states and is banned from most bike paths. That, plus the 99 lb mass, hurts brakes-and-safety and everyday value.

The bottom line is a legal and practical compromise: you accept a bike you legally can't ride as a bicycle in most places in exchange for off-road performance nothing else here touches. Read our e-bike laws guide before buying, and treat it as private-property or off-road fun. If you want moto style you can actually ride on the road, a properly Class 2-locked model is the alternative.
