Want to make the move to full suspension electric mountain biking without breaking your budget? The Haoqi Mustang is unexpectedly capable and fun to ride for under $2,000.
I believe they’re in the same “type group” as Aventon, Lectric, etc. Sold in bike stores and DTC. Not tier 1 stuff and not aimed at people who use the word “send” in an MTB context ;) but good enough for most people who haven’t normalized "Only “$8K??? Damn that’s a deal!”
Edit to add - and yes it was a deal and no I don’t have a problem.
I have a Santa Cruz Heckler for fun, but I was using an Aventon cargo bike for all my shopping until just recently, it’s being sold and replaced with a fat tire. The heckler was stupid, the others are both in that DTC/store class, 2kish range.
No and the last time I trusted some alphabet soup company to make a safe bike, I got my arm broken (thanks ENGWE!). Then eventually paid for my helmet after half a year of fighting them, and my medical bills were none of their concern.
Never heard of Haoqi but I’d be pretty hesitant to send it on this thing. Anyone ridden one before or heard of the company?

What bike?

Fat tires are great for snow and sand

I have an Engwe and would not trust it to even go near a real trail.
The only air I got on mine is when the front fender failed and threw me
