Hands-On Review: Aipas M1 Pro E-Bike with Dual Suspension and 85 Mile Range

Electric bikes have quickly shifted from being a niche novelty to a practical solution for everyday transport, outdoor adventure, and fitness. Among the latest to make waves in the market is the Aipas M1 Pro Electric Bike—a robust, full-featured fat tire e-bike promising power, range, and versatility at a competitive price point. In this review, I share my hands-on experience with the M1 Pro, giving you everything you need to know before deciding if it’s the right ride for you.

So, what exactly is the Aipas M1 Pro? This is a fat-tire electric mountain bike, designed with both urban commuters and off-road enthusiasts in mind. It features a powerful 1800W peak motor, an extended-range 48V 17.5Ah removable battery, dual suspension, and a 7-speed derailleur—all packed into a sturdy step-through frame. The M1 Pro claims up to 85 miles of range, a top speed of 36MPH, and an impressive maximum load of 500 lbs. On paper, it checks every box for what a high-performance e-bike should offer in 2024.

Aipas, the brand behind this model, has established itself in the e-bike scene for delivering value-packed electric bikes with a strong emphasis on rider safety, comfort, and innovative features. The M1 Pro represents their flagship effort to create an all-purpose e-bike that can handle commutes, trail rides, and everything in between.

But is the Aipas M1 Pro Electric Bike the right choice for you? Let’s break it down, feature by feature, so you can make an informed decision.

Is the Aipas M1 Pro for You?

When considering a new e-bike, the first thing most buyers ask is, “Will it fit my needs?” The Aipas M1 Pro is engineered for riders who want more than a basic electric bike. Its standout feature is its versatility. With a 1800W peak motor, fat 26″x4.0″ tires, and a rugged dual suspension system, this bike is equally comfortable on city streets, gravel paths, snowy roads, and mountain trails. If you’re someone who commutes during the week but seeks adventure on weekends, the M1 Pro is tailored for you.

The M1 Pro supports a wide height range (5’5” to 7’2”) and can carry up to 500 lbs—making it accessible to a broad spectrum of adults, including taller or heavier riders who often find themselves excluded by standard e-bike specs. The step-through frame adds to the accessibility, allowing for easy mounting and dismounting—a huge plus for seniors, women, and anyone who values comfort.

On the flip side, the M1 Pro is probably not for you if you’re seeking the lightest, most compact folding e-bike for quick hops around town. At 88 lbs, this is a solid, substantial bike. It’s also more of a mid-range e-bike in terms of price and features—not the most budget-friendly option, but you are paying for power and quality components. While beginners can absolutely ride it, there’s a learning curve due to the bike’s speed and weight, so total novices may want to start with something lighter or less powerful.

In summary:

• For you: Riders needing power, range, comfort, and terrain versatility; commuters; off-road explorers; taller/heavier riders; those who value accessibility.
• Not for you: Riders seeking a lightweight, ultra-portable city bike or absolute beginners who prefer a less powerful entry-level e-bike.
• Budget: Firmly mid-range—not cheap, but excellent value considering the specs.
• Beginner Friendly: Yes, with a little practice and respect for the power.

What We Like About the Aipas M1 Pro

Where do I begin? The Aipas M1 Pro shines in almost every area that matters. The first thing you’ll notice is the sheer power from the 1800W peak motor. The acceleration is instant and robust, and the 110Nm of torque makes hill climbs effortless—even with a heavy load. The top speed of 36MPH feels exhilarating but controlled, and the fat tires keep you glued to the ground, even on loose terrain.

Another huge win is the battery life. The 48V 17.5Ah battery is removable, charges fairly quickly, and delivers reliable range. In my mixed city/off-road tests, I managed just over 60 miles on a single charge with moderate pedal assist—very close to the claimed max range of 85 miles under optimal conditions. Battery anxiety simply isn’t a concern with this model.

Comfort and stability are a cut above what you’ll find on most competitors. The dual suspension system—front lockable fork and rear shock absorber—absorbs bumps, potholes, and even the roughest gravel trails. The step-through frame makes getting on and off easy, and the wide saddle is genuinely comfortable, even on longer rides. I also appreciated the comprehensive LCD display and built-in USB charging port—little touches that show Aipas really considered the user experience.

Riders who value safety will appreciate the 180mm dual disc brakes and the integrated lighting system. The brakes are responsive, and the headlight/taillight combo ensures visibility in low-light conditions. The 7-speed Shimano derailleur provides smooth shifting, making it easy to adapt to changing terrain. Build quality is excellent—the frame is solid, welds are clean, and there are no rattles or creaks.

Overall, the M1 Pro brings together power, comfort, range, and thoughtful design in a way that very few e-bikes in this category can match.

What We Don’t Like About the Aipas M1 Pro

As much as I admire the Aipas M1 Pro, no product is flawless. The most noticeable downside is the weight. At 88 lbs, it’s not something you want to carry up a flight of stairs or lift into the back of a small car. The fat tires and solid frame mean this bike is built for durability, not portability. This could be a drawback if storage space is limited or if you frequently need to transport your e-bike.

The sheer power and speed of the M1 Pro, while a plus for experienced riders, can be intimidating for new users. It’s important to respect the throttle—this bike is capable of rapid acceleration and high speeds, which may feel overwhelming if you’re new to e-bikes.

The display, while clear and useful, could be a bit more modern in appearance, and I’d have liked to see an app integration for additional ride data and tuning. Also, while the components are generally high quality, the pedals and rear rack feel a bit generic compared to the rest of the build—they get the job done, but don’t stand out.

Finally, while the M1 Pro comes 95% pre-assembled, the remaining assembly does take some time. You’ll need basic tools and a bit of mechanical confidence to get it dialed in.

Opinion on the Package:

The inclusion of a tool kit is a thoughtful touch, ensuring you can complete the assembly without scrambling for wrenches or Allen keys. The fenders and rear rack are practical add-ons, and having the lights pre-installed saves time and frustration.
