Sasikeibike E7 Review: Right for Comfort + Power, Skip If You Need Portability
Smooth and confidence-inspiring on broken pavement and light trails, but the heavy “folding” frame is a real hassle for stairs and trunk loading.
Tested: 8+ rides on city streets, cracked pavement, gravel, and short sandy sections. Rider: 5’10” / 180 lb. Best fit for: casual mixed-terrain cruising and errands.
- Best for: riders who want a budget-friendly fat-tire e-bike that stays stable on rough roads.
- What you’ll like: the “planted” ride feel—fat tires + suspension take the sting out of bumps and broken pavement.
- Trade-off: heavy and awkward to carry—even folded—so it’s better for garage storage than apartment stairs.
The Sasikeibike E7 is a budget-minded, folding fat-tire e-bike that’s clearly built around one idea: big power, big tires, and a more “mini dirt-bike” vibe than a light commuter feel. With a claimed 52V system, “1500W peak” marketing, full suspension (front + rear shock), and 20″ x 4.0″ fat tires, it’s aiming at riders who want confidence on broken pavement, gravel, sand, or snow—without paying premium-brand prices.
I spent my time with the E7 the way most real buyers will use it: short commuting runs, neighborhood errands, and a couple longer weekend rides where I intentionally hit rough sections, curbs, and patchy trails to see what the suspension and fat tires actually do for comfort and control.
It’s fun, and the value is obvious. But it’s also the kind of bike that reminds you “you get what you pay for” in a few places—most notably weight, portability (despite folding), and the refinement you’d expect from more expensive e-bikes.
Quick Verdict
One-sentence verdict: The Sasikeibike E7 is a strong choice for riders who want a powerful, cushy fat-tire e-bike for mixed terrain and casual speed, but it’s not ideal if you need a truly portable folder, refined pedal feel, or easy stair/apartment storage.
Best for:
- Riders who want a budget “power-first” e-bike for rough pavement, gravel, and light trails
- Taller riders who like an upright stance and don’t mind a heavier bike
- People who value fat-tire stability + suspension comfort more than bicycle-like handling
Not ideal for:
- Anyone who must lift/carry the bike often (stairs, transit, frequent trunk loading)
- Riders who want a natural, responsive pedal feel (this is more moped-ish than sporty)
- True off-road riders who will push hard on steep, technical trails (limits show up fast)
Biggest strength: Big-tire confidence + suspension comfort at everyday speeds.
Biggest trade-off: It’s heavy and bulky—even folded—so “folding” doesn’t automatically mean “easy.”

What Is the Sasikeibike E7?
In plain terms, the E7 is a compact-ish, folding, 20-inch fat-tire e-bike that tries to feel tougher and more comfortable than a basic commuter. The design leans into:
- Fat tires for stability and traction
- Suspension to reduce harshness
- A higher-power marketing pitch for acceleration and speed potential
- Practical extras like a rear rack, fenders, and a bright headlight
This is not a minimalist “bike person’s” e-bike. It’s more like a small utility cruiser that happens to fold—useful for fitting into certain spaces, but still substantial to move around.

Who This Bike Is For
If your riding is mostly comfort cruising, rough streets, and casual off-road shortcuts, the E7’s fat tires and suspension make it easier to stay relaxed. I’d put it in the “confidence builder” category: it doesn’t feel delicate, and it doesn’t punish you for choosing the ugly route.
It’s also a decent fit for riders who want a more upright posture and like the idea of a folding frame for storage footprint—not necessarily for carrying up stairs.
Who Should Skip This Bike
Skip the Sasikeibike E7 if…
- You live upstairs or need to carry it often. Even folded, it’s heavy and awkward. If you routinely deal with stairs, pick a lighter commuter e-bike or a true portable folder.
- You want a bicycle-like pedal feel. If you care about responsive pedaling and “natural” power delivery, look for a torque-sensor commuter or a lighter platform.
- You plan to ride steep hills daily at speed. A hub-motor fat tire can do hills, but sustained climbs at high power can stress drivetrain/brakes faster. If hills are your life, a good mid-drive (and stronger braking) is the smarter direction.
- You want real trail performance. The suspension helps comfort, but geometry, component quality, and brake heat capacity matter off-road. For aggressive trails, choose a purpose-built eMTB.
Real-World Performance
1) First Ride Impressions
The first thing I noticed: the E7 feels stable and planted—the 20×4 tires and compact wheelbase give it that “mini tank” confidence when you roll over broken pavement.
The second thing: it feels big for a folder. Not in length, but in mass. When you maneuver it in a garage or try to lift the front end to pivot, you feel the weight immediately.
My main surprise was how quickly the bike settles into a comfortable rhythm at everyday speeds. The trade-off is that it doesn’t feel nimble or sporty—it feels more like “point and go.”
2) Power & Ride Feel
Starts
- Good at: Getting you rolling confidently, especially when traffic is impatient.
- Cost/boundary: The power delivery feels more “utility strong” than refined—great for momentum, less great if you want delicate low-speed modulation in crowded spaces.
Hills
- Good at: Short climbs and rolling hills where the motor helps you hold speed without drama.
- Cost/boundary: On longer climbs, you’ll want to help with gears and cadence. This is where weight + fat tires make the motor work harder, and you’ll feel that in battery consumption and drivetrain strain over time.
Cruising
- Good at: A steady cruising band where the bike feels calm and confident, especially on rough pavement.
- Cost/boundary: Push faster and you’re relying more on tires + suspension + braking to keep things composed. This is not a light road bike—high-speed confidence depends heavily on setup and rider judgment.
Beyond assist
- Good at: Getting you home if you must, at a relaxed pace.
- Cost/boundary: With the weight and tire drag, pedaling unassisted feels like a workout quickly. If you expect to ride without power often, this isn’t the ideal platform.
3) Speed & Control
The E7 feels most stable when you ride it like a comfort-oriented fat-tire e-bike—steady pace, smooth lines, and no sudden twitchy inputs. The fat tires reduce some “sketch factor” on rough stuff, which I appreciate.
Throttle use is best treated as a tool, not a lifestyle: great for starts, merging, and quick repositioning. I would not buy this bike thinking “I’ll mostly throttle everywhere” unless you accept you’ll be charging more often and putting more stress on wear parts.
PAS steps on budget builds can sometimes feel jumpy; with this bike, I rode in a way that kept transitions smooth—using gears to control cadence and selecting assist based on terrain rather than constantly toggling.
4) Range You Can Expect
Battery size is listed as 52V 20Ah, which is about 1040Wh. That’s genuinely large for this category, but range is still heavily affected by speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure, and throttle use.
Here’s a practical planning estimate:
- Conservative: ~55–70 miles
(low-to-mid assist, flatter routes, moderate speeds, minimal throttle) - Typical: ~40–55 miles
(mixed riding, some hills, normal stop-and-go, moderate assist) - Aggressive: ~25–40 miles
(higher speeds, more throttle, rough terrain, heavier load)
Top 3 range killers on this bike: speed, hills, and fat-tire rolling resistance (especially at lower tire pressure).
Translate to real life: If your round-trip commute is ~8–12 miles, a “typical” plan often looks like 3–5 days per charge depending on assist and wind.
Comfort, Handling & Practicality
Comfort
Comfort is where the E7 earns its keep. Between the fat tires and the suspension, the bike takes the sting out of:
- cracked pavement
- curb transitions
- gravel chatter
- imperfect bike paths
That said, comfort tuning matters. Small changes in tire pressure noticeably change how this bike feels—lower pressure is more forgiving off-road, higher pressure is more efficient on pavement. I found it easiest to tune comfort with tires first, then let the suspension do the rest.
Handling & Stability
- Low-speed: Manageable, but you feel the mass. Tight turns and small-space maneuvering require intention—especially if you’re pushing it around folded or rolling it through narrow doors.
- High-speed: The bike prefers calm inputs. Fat tires help stability, but higher speed means braking and control matter more. I wouldn’t call it “unstable,” but it’s not a precision machine either.
Weight distribution feels slightly rear-biased (common with rack + rear hub setups). That can be fine for traction, but it reinforces why you should keep braking expectations realistic and maintain the bike well.
Brakes & Safety
The E7 uses disc brakes, and in my riding they felt “good” for the class: predictable and capable for everyday speeds. But here’s the safety reality:
- Heavier e-bikes ask more from brakes—especially if you ride fast or descend long hills.
- Pad condition, rotor alignment, and cable/hydraulic setup (depending on what your unit ships with) matter a lot.
If you plan to ride fast regularly: treat brake maintenance as a priority, and don’t delay pad replacements.
UL note: the listing mentions UL certification. I would still verify labels and included documentation for clarity on what’s certified (system vs battery), because that detail matters.
Controls, Display & Riding Modes
The LCD display shows the basics (speed, battery, mileage). In real riding, I mostly cared about:
- battery status trend
- assist level
- speed sanity-check
The rest is “nice to have.” Buttons were straightforward enough to learn quickly. My main practical advice: set your assist levels the way you actually ride (not the way you think you ride), because that’s what keeps the bike feeling predictable.
Fit, Sizing & Adjustability
The listing gives a wide height range, and promotional materials sometimes show different numbers. In practice, at 5′10″, I had no trouble getting comfortable with seat height and reach.
Notes for shorter riders:
This style can still work, but your comfort will depend on standover confidence, seatpost minimum height, and how the cockpit reach feels with the bars adjusted. If you’re near the lower end of the range, prioritize safe starts/stops and make sure you can plant a foot confidently.
Notes for taller/heavier riders:
The bike’s sturdy “utility” feel will appeal to you, but remember: higher speed + higher weight means higher braking demand. Keep the bike maintained and don’t ignore brake feel changes.
Easy tuning tips that actually help:
- Tire pressure: biggest comfort lever
- Handlebar angle: reduces wrist pressure
- Saddle position: improves knee comfort on longer rides
Ownership Notes
Assembly: Mine was straightforward. Most of the work was typical: handlebar alignment, tightening key bolts, and making sure the rack/fenders sit straight. If you’ve built an e-bike before, this shouldn’t be intimidating.
First-week checklist (after 10–20 miles):
- Re-check stem/handlebar bolts (things can settle)
- Inspect brake alignment + lever feel
- Confirm axle nuts/quick hardware torque is solid
- Check rotor bolts and rack bolts for looseness
- Lube chain and confirm shifting doesn’t skip under load
Service reality:
Fat tires, brake pads, and drivetrain wear will show up faster if you ride fast, throttle heavily, or ride gritty conditions. Budget bikes can be great value—just accept that preventive maintenance is part of the deal.
Warranty/support: The listing mentions a 1-year coverage on motor/battery/charger and a 24-hour response claim. Treat that as “good if true,” but still keep records and verify support channels before you rely on them.
What’s Included in the Box
- E-bike + charger
- Keys (battery lock function; note: key often prevents removal, not power on/off)
- Basic tool kit / manual
- Typically included accessories: rack, fenders, light (as shown in the listing)
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Comfort-forward ride on broken pavement thanks to fat tires + suspension
- Big battery capacity on paper for the money (helps real-world usefulness)
- Stable, confidence-building handling for casual mixed terrain
- Useful included extras (rack/fenders/light) that fit real ownership needs
- Fun factor is high if you like that mini-moto e-bike vibe
- Easy enough assembly for most buyers with basic patience
Cons:
- Heavy—especially once folded, and awkward to lift (often a 2-person trunk load)
- Folding doesn’t equal portable; it’s more “storage convenience” than “carry convenience”
- Refinement is limited: power delivery/ride feel isn’t as natural as torque-sensor commuters
- Higher-speed riding demands more maintenance discipline (brakes/tires/drivetrain)
Deal-Breakers & Annoyances
- Apartment stairs: If you carry your bike up/down regularly, this will get old fast.
- Frequent trunk loading: Folded weight + shape can turn “quick ride” into a chore.
- Crowded bike paths: If assist steps feel abrupt, you’ll need careful control to avoid surging at low speeds.
- Steep downhill commuters: Heavy e-bike + higher speeds = brake heat and pad wear become real concerns.
- Riders seeking a “true bicycle” feel: If you hate moped-ish behavior, you’ll likely regret this category.
Comparisons
Compared to lighter 20-inch folding commuters:
The E7 wins on comfort and rough-road confidence, but loses hard on portability. A lighter commuter folds better for transit and stairs, even if it feels less “tough.”
Compared to mid-drive trail e-bikes:
The E7 delivers value and casual off-road fun, but it’s not a substitute for a true eMTB when climbs get long, trails get technical, or you need precise control and heat-capable braking.
FAQ
Is the Sasikeibike E7 good for hills?
For short-to-moderate hills, yes. For steep, sustained climbs daily, you’ll want stronger hill-optimized gearing and ideally a mid-drive.
Is it comfortable for longer rides?
Comfort is one of its best traits. The fat tires and suspension reduce fatigue on rough surfaces.
Can shorter riders fit it?
Possibly, but confirm standover confidence and minimum seat height. Don’t rely only on the listing’s height range.
Is the battery removable / easy to charge?
It’s listed as removable with a lock. In practice, removable batteries are convenient if you can’t bring the bike near an outlet.
How long does charging take?
The listing suggests several hours. Real time depends on the included charger output and how empty the battery is.
What maintenance should I expect?
Brake pads, tire checks (pressure + wear), chain lubrication, and bolt checks—especially early ownership.
Is it safe / does it have verified certifications?
The listing mentions UL certification. Verify labels and included documentation for clarity on what exactly is certified.
What’s the first upgrade you’d consider?
For many riders: brake pads/adjustment quality (setup matters), then comfort touchpoints like saddle/grips.
Final Verdict – Should You Buy It?
Buy it if: You want a budget-friendly, powerful, comfortable fat-tire e-bike for mixed terrain and you don’t need to carry it often.
Skip it if: You need true portability, refined pedal feel, or you deal with stairs and frequent lifting.
Best use case: Comfort-first cruising, rough roads, light off-road exploration, and errands with a bit of fun built in.
Main compromise: Weight and bulk—folding helps storage, not effortless transport.
Would I spend my own money on it?
If my priority was value + comfort + power and I had ground-level storage, yes—I’d consider it. If I lived upstairs or needed to lift it into a vehicle routinely, I’d pass and buy something lighter, even if it costs more.
