Eunorau FAT-HD 2.0 / Hunter X7

The Eunorau FAT-HD 2.0, also sold as the Hunter X7, is a heavy-duty fat-tire e-bike built around a mid-drive motor instead of a hub motor. It is aimed at riders who use a bike as access equipment — hunting, fishing and backcountry trail riding where the route involves sustained climbing and carrying weight. The frame is 6061 aluminum, the bike weighs 81.57 lbs, and total payload capacity is 375 lbs. Eunorau recommends it for riders from 5'3" to 6'4".

The motor is a 48V 1000W Bafang brushless mid-drive rated at 160 N.m of torque; the system can draw well above that nominal figure in short bursts, but 1000W is the motor's rating. Mounting the motor at the cranks means its output passes through the bike's own gearing, so the Shimano 9-speed derailleur and 11-32T cassette multiply torque on climbs in a way a hub motor cannot, and the bike holds speed better under load. A Bafang gear sensor briefly eases assist during shifts to spare the drivetrain, and the 42T Eunorau chainring carries an aluminum bash guard that shields the teeth from rock strikes and helps keep the chain seated on rough ground. Power comes from a 48V 15Ah battery using Samsung cells, on a dual-battery design; with a second pack fitted, Eunorau rates range at up to 80 miles.

An RST suspension fork takes the edge off rough trail, and KENDA 26" x 4.0" tires on 26-inch alloy rims spread the bike's weight over soft ground. Braking is hydraulic with Eunorau 180mm rotors front and rear, on levers that cut motor power when pulled. The BC182 Bluetooth color display runs five levels of pedal assist plus zero, and a thumb throttle is fitted. The Eunorau C7 saddle adjusts from 31.9" to 38.6" off the ground, LED lighting is fitted front and rear, and the bike ships with reflector pedals, a bell and a tool kit.

At 1000W nominal, this motor is above the 750W ceiling that U.S. federal law uses to define a low-speed electric bicycle, and Eunorau lists maximum speed at 28 MPH. Classification above that threshold is settled state by state rather than nationally, which means the same bike may be treated as an electric bicycle in one state, as a moped in another, and as a motor vehicle in a third — potentially bringing registration, licensing, insurance or off-road-use-only requirements with it. Confirming how your state and local law classifies a machine at this power level, and what the specific roads, paths and trails you plan to ride actually allow, is the rider's responsibility.
