The short answer
The Mokwheel Obsidian is a full-suspension fat bike. The cart was $1,699.99 from $2,199.99. The technical block prints 750 watts rated, 1,000 continuous, and 1,300 peak, plus 19.6 amp-hours and no Wh figure. Forty-eight times 19.6 is 940.8. A review prints a rear hub, a higher peak, and 941Wh, and calls the bike unclassified. Claimed mass is 77 pounds. Scales said 81.3 and 83.4. A shop page says mid-drive.
The Mokwheel Obsidian on the US product page is a full-suspension fat bike. The cart this crawl opened was $1,699.99 from $2,199.99. A hero tile says 750W and 105 Nm-plus, a 28 mph top, up to 80 miles, and a 560 lb payload. The technical block is more specific and less tidy: rated 750W, continuous 1,000W, peak 1,300W, torque 105 Nm-plus, battery 48V 19.6Ah with no watt-hour figure, mass 77 lb, throttle to 20 mph and pedal assist to 28, range 60–80 miles. Forty-eight times 19.6 is 940.8. The fork tile says 130 mm of air. Electric Bike Report’s review calls the motor a 1,000W rear hub with a 1,500W peak, prints 941 Wh, and calls the bike unclassified.

| Review and a database | Electric Bike Report: 48V 1,000W brushless rear hub, 1,500W peak, 105 Nm, Samsung 48V 19.6Ah / 941 Wh, claimed 77 lb and 81.3 actual, claimed 60–80 miles, measured 33.5 miles in PAS 5 and 60.4 in PAS 1, fork 130 mm, rear shock 50 mm, labeled unclassified. BikeRide’s facts row says 1,000W, 19.6Ah, hub-drive, 81.3 lb, unrestricted, 80 miles. Its detailed spec says nominal 750W, a 20Ah pack written 960Wh, claimed 77 lb and actual 83.4 lb, a Class 2 sticker, and test rides of 31.85 miles at PAS 3 and 25.40 at PAS 5. Prices on that page include $1,699.99, $1,649.99, and $2,049.96. |
| A different machine, and a shop label | A Portland shop page titled Obsidian 2.0 calls the motor a 1,300W peak mid-drive and prices it at $2,199. Electric Bike Report and BikeRide both say rear hub. Germany’s Obsidian ST card is 250W, 25 km/h, 65 Nm, 940 Wh, and €1,999. That is an export cap, not a translation of the US peak. |
Do not average 750, 1,000, 1,300, and 1,500 into one motor. Rated, continuous, and peak are three words, and the review’s peak is a fourth number. Do not average 19.6 and 20 amp-hours. Forty-eight times 19.6 is 940.8, which is why a review can print 941 and a German card can print 940, while BikeRide’s 20 amp-hour line is 960. Those watt-hour figures are not interchangeable. Mass is 77 claimed, 81.3 on one scale, 83.4 on another, and a sentence that says 83. Distance is 60–80 claimed, then 33.5 and 60.4 on one test, and 25.40 plus 31.85 on another. Quote the assist. A mid-drive label on a shop page does not rewrite the review’s hub.
The US block prints 750W rated, 1,000W continuous, 1,300W peak, and 19.6Ah with no watt-hours. Forty-eight times 19.6 is 940.8. A review prints a 1,500W peak and 941 Wh, and calls it a rear hub. A shop page says mid-drive.
Who it is for
It is the full-suspension fat bike at the sale dollar, if you can stand a watt label that will not sit still and you know which shock is on the frame you clicked. It is not the Nomad 2X. That one prints 80 lb, a 1,400W peak on the hero, and 801.6Wh, and its motor cell does not say 1,000 continuous. A rear hub does not use the gears the way a crank motor would. If the shop page you opened says mid-drive, you are not looking at the bike Electric Bike Report weighed. The hub versus mid-drive page is how to tell.
Pedals are on the bike. A 750-watt rated figure is not under the federal “less than 750” line, and 1,000 watts continuous is further outside it. Throttle to 20 and pedal assist to 28 is a speed pair, not a class sticker that repairs the watts. Electric Bike Report’s word is unclassified. BikeRide found a Class 2 sticker and also filed the bike as unrestricted. The class chart is why those cannot all be true at once. The watt-hour page is why 940.8, 941, and 960 are not one pack. Buy the frame in the photo. Do not buy a European 250-watt card and expect this motor.
Questions people ask
Why are there four power numbers?+
The US block prints rated, continuous, and peak: 750, 1,000, and 1,300, at 105 newton-meters plus. A review prints a 1,000-watt rear hub and a 1,500-watt peak. A database facts row says 1,000, and its detailed spec says nominal 750. Do not collapse them.
What follows from 19.6 amp-hours?+
The US block never prints a Wh figure. Forty-eight times 19.6 is 940.8. The review prints 941. A German card prints 940 on a 250-watt, 25 km/h bike. A database detailed spec prints 20 amp-hours and 960, which is a different product. Keep the labels apart.
Which scale and which loop?+
The block says 77 pounds and 60 to 80 miles. One review scale was 81.3, with 33.5 miles at PAS 5 and 60.4 at PAS 1. Another sheet says actual 83.4, with 31.85 miles at PAS 3 and 25.40 at PAS 5. Fork travel on the tile is 130 mm of air. Quote the assist.
Can you call it Class 2?+
The review says unclassified, throttle to 20 and pedal assist to 28. A database found a Class 2 sticker and also filed the bike unrestricted. A Portland page titled as a 2.0 says mid-drive. The review says rear hub. An export card at 250 watts is not this motor. Seven hundred fifty rated is already not under the federal line.

Hub Motor vs Mid-Drive: Which Should You Buy?
Hub ignores the gears. Mid-drive uses them. Hills, cargo, range-per-Wh, chain bills, and the $1,500 line where the answer actually changes.

What Is a Class 1, 2, and 3 E-Bike?
Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
