A compact moto-style e-bike with fat tires, a Bluetooth speaker and 50 miles of range — built to turn heads.
A compact, lightweight moto frame is easy to handle and fits anywhere — thread through traffic and park in the tightest spots.
The extended saddle gives you a relaxed, moto-style riding position — stretch out and cruise in comfort.
Twist the throttle for effortless cruising or switch to pedal-assist when you want to put in the work — your call, every ride.
One tap unlocks an extra 8 mph when you want more speed and more thrill — dial up the fun whenever the road opens up.
A 750W motor delivers quick, aggressive starts and pulls strong up hills — the mini-moto that punches well above its size.
The built-in Bluetooth speaker plays your soundtrack — or a moto-style rumble — so every ride has the right attitude.
A 48V/15.6Ah pack delivers up to 50 miles per charge — plenty for campus loops, commutes and weekend group rides.
Enough for a week of commutes or a long day of group rides. Ride throttle, or add pedal-assist to go further.

Grip and cushion in one
The 16-by-4-inch all-terrain fat tires bite into pavement, gravel and mud for sure traction, while their volume soaks up bumps like extra suspension.
Nothing rattles you
Front and rear suspension work together to absorb potholes, curbs and rough pavement, keeping the ride planted and smooth wherever you point it.
Signal, light, be seen
Turn signals, a bright headlight and a brake light keep you visible and predictable in traffic day or night — a full lighting setup you rarely find on a compact ride.
Charge with confidence
The battery pack is built with a smart management system and independently certified for safety — so you can charge and ride with peace of mind.
A short, moto-style frame is easy to handle and park, while 16"×4" fat tires and full suspension grip pavement, gravel and trail alike.
Bluetooth sound, turn signals, fat tires and full suspension on a compact moto-style frame — features others charge far more for.
I've had my e bike for 2 months now and I absolutely love it still riding smooth no issues my favorite feature is the built in speaker sounds really good battery life is great.
Received great customer service on the phone and was given a great discount! This bike is great. Absorbs shock really well on rugged terrain at higher speeds.
This view also does exceed 20mph on downhill grades. It's great!
Honestly this is a masterpiece, the bike is sturdy and fast. Putting it together was a lot of fun and pretty easy. I do not regret getting this bike! Windhorse will forever be my ebike brand!!
This was shipped without the front fender. I did report it right away and sent the necessary paperwork / photos.
I have been working with customer service but not sure why it is so hard to get this front fender shipped out to me.
Please send the front fender.
Thank you!
Shopped this against three competitors in the compact class. Nothing else came close on price for the same motor and battery pairing.
Ordered Thursday, on my porch Monday. Packaging was intact and the setup card was right on top where you'd actually see it.
Bought in January, ridden through a wet spring. No rust at the welds, headset has no play, and the brakes still have plenty of pad left.
The best brand E bike
Visible from a good distance in daylight even. Had a driver tell me at a light that she spotted me well before the intersection.
Bought a generic mount and a bell online, both fit the bar diameter without adapters. Sounds trivial until you buy something that doesn't.
Six floors of spiral ramp at my office. Doesn't break a sweat, doesn't overheat, doesn't slow down by the top.
Color in person is a shade lighter than the product photos suggested. I actually like it better, but worth setting expectations.
Faster than my old one by a good margin. I top it off during lunch and it's basically full by the time I leave.
She's 14 and it fits her properly. Speed is capped where I'm comfortable with it and she can lock it at the school rack without trouble.
City bus racks are a pain with heavy bikes. This one I can get up there one-handed while holding my coffee. Not recommending that, but I can.
The 20-inch wheels transmit more road texture than a larger wheel would. Not uncomfortable, just noticeable. Tradeoff I accepted for the size.
The short wheelbase makes filtering between stopped cars genuinely easy. Takes some getting used to if you're coming off a long-wheelbase cruiser.
Measured over a week of errands. 28 to 30 miles depending on how much throttle I use. Matches what I expected for the battery size.
We're a few inches apart in height and the quick-release seat clamp makes swapping who's riding effortless.
Wasn't expecting much from a built-in speaker but pairing was fast and it's actually held a stable connection every ride since.
Small enough that it parks in the corner behind the door and doesn't dominate the room. My last bike was a constant obstacle.
Test rode a competitor's version at a local shop and this one felt noticeably more planted over bumps for a similar price.
Cosmetic only, frame and electronics were all fine. Didn't bother with a claim since it's barely noticeable.
Used to take most of an evening to top off, this one is ready in a couple hours which changed how I plan my rides.
it is very fun but a lot of stuff brakes on it my brakes are bad on it when I was doing all the stuff right ands we had to do so many videos so that they will send new stuff but other than that it is so fun
Every other e-bike I test rode had me on tiptoes. This one I can stand over flat and reach the bars without stretching. Finally one built for shorter riders.
Took a shortcut through a construction detour on loose gravel and it stayed composed the whole way through.
Cars notice me signaling a lane change way more reliably than when I just used hand signals on my old bike.
Had a loose bolt rattle after a month, reached out and they walked me through tightening it plus sent a spare kit just in case, no pushback at all.
Had a question about the charging port and got a real, useful answer within a few hours over email, not a canned response. Made me trust the brand more.
Compact enough footprint that it doesn't dominate my garage the way I feared based on photos. Fits next to my other gear without me rearranging anything.
Ride through some chilly 40-degree mornings and I still get most of the advertised range, maybe a mile or two less. Wasn't expecting it to hold up that well in the cold.
The V8MINI has a built-in Bluetooth speaker that plays your music — or simulated engine sounds for a moto feel. Pair your phone and ride to your own soundtrack.
It ships at a street-legal top speed and can be unlocked to add up to 8 mph for off-road use. Check your local class rules for where higher speeds are allowed.
Yes. 16"×4" fat tires and full suspension grip gravel, dirt and trail as well as pavement, so you can ride well beyond the bike lane.
Up to 50 miles per charge with pedal-assist. Real range depends on rider weight, terrain, assist level and tire pressure.
Every V8MINI comes with a 1-year warranty on frame, motor and battery, plus a 30-day return window so you can ride it risk-free.
