For Full Size Stability and Longer Rides

The Thunder family uses 26 x 4 inch tires and a nonfolding frame. These models suit riders who prefer a traditional bicycle profile and have garage, shed or ground floor storage.

Thunder Pro: The Most Complete Full Size Choice

The Thunder Pro is designed for longer trips, changing surfaces and rides that include cargo or outdoor gear. Its larger wheels and wide tires create a stable platform across pavement, gravel and uneven roads.

Full suspension adds comfort when the route becomes rough, while hydraulic brakes support controlled stopping. The listed range reaches up to 90 miles, and the maximum payload is 500 pounds. Riders who want to understand how front and rear suspension affect comfort and control can also read the Jasion full suspension electric bike guide.

Thunder Pro is the strongest match when range, full size handling, suspension and carrying capacity are all important.

Thunder Pro ST: Full Size Performance with Easier Access

The Thunder Pro ST keeps the main strengths of the Thunder Pro but uses a step through frame. The lower center section makes it easier to get on and off during frequent stops, when carrying cargo or when several riders share the bike.

It still offers 26 x 4 inch tires, full suspension, hydraulic brakes, up to 90 miles of listed range and a 500 pound payload rating. For riders comparing payload, fit and frame access, the guide to electric bikes for heavier riders provides more detail.

Thunder: A Direct Route to Full Size Fat Tire Riding

The Thunder keeps the focus on the features many riders use most. It has 26 x 4 inch tires, hydraulic brakes, up to 80 miles of listed range and a 400 pound payload rating.

It fits commuting, neighborhood riding, gravel paths and weekend recreation. Riders considering a fat tire bike for regular travel can find more route based advice in the Jasion guide to fat tire electric bikes for commuting.

For Folding Storage and Flexible Travel

A folding frame is useful when the bike needs to fit inside an SUV, RV, garage or apartment. For more help with folded size, vehicle loading and travel storage, see the folding electric bike guide for RV travel.

Hunter Pro: The Most Versatile Folding Option

The Hunter Pro works well for riders whose bike moves between daily transportation, vehicle travel and weekend recreation.

Its 20 x 4 inch tires keep the format compact, while full suspension and hydraulic brakes support riding beyond smooth streets. The frame folds at the center for storage or transport. With up to 80 miles of listed range and a 400 pound payload rating, Hunter Pro offers the broadest mix of range and features among Jasion’s folding fat tire models.

X-Hunter: A Practical Folding Step Over Bike

The X-Hunter combines a familiar step over frame with folding storage. It uses 20 x 4 inch tires, offers up to 70 miles of listed range and carries a maximum payload of 400 pounds.

Its format suits daily travel, campground roads, local errands and recreational routes. It is the clear option for riders who want a folding fat tire electric bike while keeping a traditional frame shape.

X-Hunter ST: Folding with Step Through Access

The X-Hunter ST combines a folding frame with a lower center section. This makes mounting easier during stop and go trips, especially when the bike carries bags or other compatible accessories.

It uses 20 x 4 inch tires, offers up to 71 miles of listed range and supports up to 480 pounds. Hydraulic brakes and a color display complete the setup. Choose it when folding storage and step through access carry equal weight in the decision.

For Moped Style Cruising

RetroVolt Pro: Relaxed Riding with a Distinct Look

The RetroVolt Pro stands apart through its extended seat, upright cockpit and moped style profile.

Its 20 x 4 inch tires and full suspension support comfortable cruising across neighborhood streets, campground roads and leisure routes. Integrated lighting and turn signals add to its road ready design. The listed top speed is 38 mph, with an estimated maximum range of up to 90 miles.

RetroVolt Pro suits riders who value relaxed positioning, longer cruising range and a design that looks different from a traditional bicycle.

For Trail Riding and High Power Performance

Patrol 52: Built Around Outdoor Routes

The Patrol 52 moves into electric dirt bike style territory. It uses a 19 inch front tire and 17 inch rear tire with thick dirt bike construction. Full suspension, hydraulic brakes and the staggered wheel setup support rougher outdoor routes.

Its published specifications include a 40 mph top speed, a 52V 30Ah battery, up to 50 miles of estimated range and 145 Nm of torque. Its reinforced frame and long seat give it a clear role for trail riding and outdoor recreation.

Because access rules can vary by speed, motor setup and riding location, review the Jasion electric bike regulations guide before planning routes on roads, paths, parks or public trails.
