The Hovsco HovAlpha is a fat tire ebike with a torque sensor and a relatively large 48 volt 20 ah battery priced competitively relative to bikes of the same legal class 2 and 3 performance. The torque sensor on the Hovsco HovAlpha ebike allows you to apply power in proportion to hard hard you press on the pedals, which is different then the typical "cadence" sensor or speed sensor that simply gives a set level of power for each pedal assist level of the electric bike. This video gives you a realistic range test of a 48 volt 20 ah fat tire ebike with a 200 lb rider making good use of the power and having fun, and also climbing some giant hills torturing the sutto geared hub motor on the rear wheel of the ebike.
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't preparred to drop $2k today:

The Grand Poobah of E Bike reviews always highly entertaining 👍
Now 102 thousand subscribers! Congrats Matt on all your success. You are headed to the big time. Soon you will have a production crew and your pup will have a Hollywood agent to negotiate his/her appearances.
Sick trip Matt!!
Peace be with you! Thank for range testing the Hovsco HovAlpha. On your Juice Joyrides CZcams channel, perhaps you can perform an extended range test of one of the Super Fast e-Scooters you'd tested. Thanks again!
Tail Happy....the bike THRASHER....LOL
Wouldn't mind seeing you do this run with the Philodo H8 ... would love to see those dual motors on these hills... but you'd have to pedal most of the way to save battery by only using the rear motor
Can you test the bodywel T16 please your reviews are great
Bike lanes alongside "door zones" of parcing cars next to it are ideal and safe right? :DDD
well done!
Hello,nice day,nice bike,nice ride,hope so😊
I have a question for you I used your link and I bought a Yotobike, I turned it up to 18 amps which was the only apparent power upgrade I saw available, is there any other option I can do to give it more power?
Love the Sutto torque motors. Does anyone know if Hovsco has an exclusive with them?
You Never heard of Pinks hotdogs, surprised to hear that.
You are the only big name who reviews the underrated Hovsco E-bikes and those established bastards like Electric Bike Report are too busy reviewing inferior, subpar e-bikes they are getting sponsors from and have the audacity to call the inferior Aventon Sinch 2 as one of the best folding e-bikes of 2024!
The Hovsco Hovbeta has been out for over a year now and is in every way, superior to the Aventon Sinch 2 except only the battery displays and that channel still hasn't reviewed it yet...shame on them!
Keep up the great work!
Hello Matt, in your opinion, give me the bottom line, which is the best fat-tire e-bike in terms of performance, quality and bang for the buck. I enjoy your channel. Thank you!
Matt has the links to his favourites in the 'Show More' section if you're interested.
Have you tested the Aipas M2?
I've heard some people say step through frames don't handle as well as frames with top tubes. Have you experienced this?
In theory, a step through frame will not have as good handling as a traditional bike frame because a step thru frame has a little bit more flex to it. In practice when I’m riding an Ebike, especially when keeping it on the streets, there is basically no noticeable difference in handling. The difference in handling is gonna come if you’re doing off roading. Also since this Ebike has front suspension, the suspension is going to take the majority of the shock rather than the frame, minimizing frame flex.
Pinks is awesome, I always grab their mushroom swiss burger when I'm in LA. Not the healthiest food choice, maybe that's why you don't know about it.
I can smell hot electrics from here. Really you could just take us on tours using same bike and I’d watch them- entertaining. You should call this “regen hill” and reclaim some electrons if possible. Or just bring a Spare battery
American ingenuity at 10:12. The guy selling bottled water out of his carport. He's got everything set up quite nice. E.g., calling it "Last Chance Water," as if you are about to cross the desert. I wonder what you get for tossing a buck into that "$1 Information" bucket.
Best line of the video: Matt saying to the water seller: "You could run a business just doing . . . " then saying "Well, I guess you kind of are man." I don't know why I found that funny, but I do.
P.S. I wonder why he's selling Last Chance water for only $1.00 (probably tried a higher price and people were not buying).
I’m dying to know what motor burned out please someone tell me.

A bit noisier than other bikes you've ridden... I've also noticed that some bikes have more rim/tire wobble. I'd have to imagine that's gonna waste some energy especially with wide tires.
a bit of soapy water to reseat the tyre is all you need. My rear tyre was 'off' when i got it, 5 minutes to massage it right in place.
do you recommend any ebike that can carry children in the back and ride well in the beach sand. Thanks
hovsco hovcart
any cargo style ebike with fat tires
@@mikec4308 hovcart is 20×4 fat tire
I could see $18 for a smoothie, if you juiced the fruit before blending. I can make a pina colada you wouldn't believe.

Garage Hill Test?
0:26
Lol did you miss it??
20% garage test @ 0:27
He has a full review video for this bike but this is just a battery range test really
You didn’t ride the H9 AWD on that climb.
Boss, I can buy one of your e bikes if you want with shipping paid by me
"I had to stop because this guy had to stop at a stop sign for some reason" LMAO man I miss the West Coast people here in Detroit will just sit at a right I'm sitting there going it's clear it's clear you can go but go out to the suburbs omg you could practically wash your car on the roundabouts waiting for somebody to go if there isn't a stop sign I'm not stopping and if nobody's there i can care less if there is SMH DETROIT learn to drive
Mashallah ❤❤❤
If you're throttling over 20mph you are not a class 3 bike.
Class 3 bikes don’t have throttle
@mr.clueless7438 of course they do but they're supposed to cut off at 20. Admittedly some states ebike language implies no throttle at all but I think they meant to say no "working" throttle above 20.
😲 Dear Matt, our favorite Ebike California Dude, thank you for proving:
1. To AVOID NON-Survivable & outdated "new" 48v ebikes on the market;
2. To AVOID NON-Survivable jurisdictions in the U.S.--especially those waiving Satan's Flag, and;
3. To KEEP our MOST-Survivable Wired Freedom & Wired Cruiser Ebikes--which, as just proven from this video and others, is STILL King of Ebikes in its class.
Good video, keep up the good work. Thank you.
*Pray for our nation.*
