Mokwheel Asphalt

What the Mokwheel Asphalt is built for

The Mokwheel Asphalt is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 500 W (860 W peak) motor, 70 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a stated range of up to 60 miles (97 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Mokwheel Asphalt weighs 64 lb (29 kg), carries up to 351 lb (159 kg) including the rider, uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal and is rated IPX7 against water.

In the United States the Mokwheel Asphalt sells for $1,500, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price.

Where the Mokwheel Asphalt may be ridden

Mokwheel Asphalt is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 500 W motor is above the 250 W limit, its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Mokwheel Asphalt safety certification

The brand's listing for the Mokwheel Asphalt does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
