Tesway X5 AWD Step-Thru Dual-Motor Electric Bike

Tesway X5 AWD — The Same 3,120 Wh AWD Platform as the X7, in a Step-Thru Frame That Lets You Actually Mount the Bike

This is the step-thru version of the Tesway X7 AWD — same dual-motor AWD platform, same 3,120 Wh battery pack, same 200 Nm of combined torque, same 4-piston 203 mm hydraulic brakes, same NFC unlock, same UL 2849 + TÜV safety claims — built around a low step-thru frame that removes the single hardest part of owning a 119-lb electric bike: getting on and off it.

At 119 lb ride-ready, the X7 AWD’s step-over top tube is doable when you are unloaded and uninjured. It becomes a problem in winter coats, in work clothes, with a loaded rear seat or pannier, with hip mobility limits, or at an intersection where you have braked hard and need to step off cleanly while traffic stacks up behind you. The X5 AWD solves all of that with the same answer the cargo eBike world arrived at a decade ago: kill the top tube. You step through the low front of the frame, you are seated, you ride. Mounting is no longer the limiting factor on whether you actually use the bike.

Everything else is the same Tesway AWD platform that the X7 already proves at scale. 52V 60Ah — 3,120 Wh of removable lithium-ion battery, charged in ~7 hours by the included 58.8V 8A fast charger. Dual brushless hub motors — 1,000W nominal per motor / 3,600W combined peak / 200 Nm combined torque — with selectable single-motor (battery-saver), dual-motor AWD (traction mode), or pure-pedal modes. 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with oversized 203 mm rotors front and rear. 120 mm dual-crown hydraulic front fork with lockout plus rear spring suspension. 20×4.0″ Kenda fat tires with puncture-resistant casing and 360° reflective strips. NFC tap-to-ride unlock. 99-lumen motorcycle-style IPX6 auto-sensing LED headlight with integrated horn. Smart brake-sensing taillight that auto-brightens when you grab the levers. Full-colour LCD with USB charge port. TÜV-certified system complying with UL 2849; battery pack meets UL 2271 (per Tesway).

Key Features

• Dual Brushless Hub Motors — 1,000W Nominal Each / 3,600W Combined Peak / 200 Nm Combined Torque — Two brushless geared hub motors, one in each wheel, delivering 1,000W nominal per motor (2,000W combined nominal) and surging to 3,600W combined peak under load. 200 Nm of combined torque is enough to crawl up a 12–15% gravel grade with a 250-lb rider plus gear loaded over the rear wheel. The two motors operate independently or together via the display: single-motor mode for dry pavement (preserves battery), dual-motor AWD for loose surfaces and climbs, and pure-pedal mode for exercise or compliance with private-property no-motor zones. Top speed is approximately 60 km/h (38 mph) — well above any Canadian public-road speed limit for an eBike, reinforcing the bike’s off-road and private-property design intent.

• 52V 60Ah Battery — 3,120 Wh of Removable Lithium-Ion — The 3,120 Wh figure is the headline. For context: most fat-tire dual-motor eBikes at this price ship with 1,200–2,000 Wh. The X5 AWD ships with 3,120 Wh. That is 50–160% more usable energy from the same dollar. The pack is removable for indoor charging (29.8 lb / 13.5 kg — heavy enough that you will want a routine for it). The included 58.8V 8A fast charger brings the pack from 0 to 100% in approximately 7 hours — meaningfully faster than the 2–3A chargers shipped with most competitors at this price. Tesway states the pack is part of a TÜV-certified system complying with UL 2849, and that the pack itself meets UL 2271 requirements. For the cold-weather range math, see the FAQ above and our long-range eBike guide.
• 120 mm Dual-Crown Hydraulic Front Fork With Lockout — This is not a single-crown bicycle fork dressed up with motorcycle styling. It is a true dual-crown design — the same architecture used on downhill mountain bikes and small motorcycles — with two crown plates clamping both stanchions for dramatically higher stiffness and tracking precision than a single-crown fork. 120 mm of hydraulic travel absorbs Canadian potholes, gravel washboard, root-crossed trails, and frost-heaved urban roads. The lockout switch on the crown firms the fork up for hard pedalling on smooth surfaces — useful when you want energy going forward, not into compressing the fork.
• Rear Spring Suspension — A spring shock at the rear adds vertical compliance under the saddle so the rear end stays planted over rough terrain rather than bucking. Combined with the 4.0″ fat tires’ large air volume and the 119-lb mass acting as its own damper, the X5 AWD rides smoother over rough ground than its price implies. Honest framing: this is a spring shock, not an air shock with rebound adjustment, so you cannot tune it to rider weight the way you would on a $4,000+ trail bike. For commute, gravel, and light trail use, that is fine. For aggressive singletrack riding, you want a different bike.
• Tesway 4-Piston Hydraulic Disc Brakes With 203 mm Rotors Front and Rear — Four pistons per caliper, oversized 203 mm rotors at both wheels. That is premium brake hardware — most fat-tire eBikes ship with 2-piston calipers and 160–180 mm rotors. Four pistons spread braking force across a larger pad surface, reducing fade on long descents and delivering more consistent stopping power in wet and cold conditions. The oversized 203 mm rotors are what a 119-lb bike + 400 lb payload actually needs to stop from 60 km/h. This brake spec is one of the strongest decisions on the entire build sheet.
• 20×4.0″ Kenda Fat Tires With Puncture-Resistant Casing and 360° Reflective Strips — Kenda is a Tier 1 tire manufacturer (not no-name rubber with a sticker). The 4.0″ width provides a wide, stable contact patch that grips snow, sand, wet gravel, and loose dirt where narrower tires slide. The puncture-resistant casing reduces flats from glass, thorns, and the realities of Canadian bike-lane debris. The 360° reflective sidewall strips add nighttime visibility from every angle — a safety detail most fat-tire eBikes leave for the rider to add aftermarket. The 20-inch wheel diameter keeps the centre of gravity low, which matters at 119 lb — a low CG means stable handling, not tippy.
• Shimano 7-Speed Rear Derailleur + 52T Heavy-Duty Chainring With Dual Guard — Shimano is the world’s most serviceable drivetrain brand — every Canadian bike shop stocks parts and knows how to tune it. The 7-speed range covers cruising in high gear and pedalling support in low gear. The 52T heavy-duty chainring with a dual guard is heavier-duty than the standard 44–48T chainrings most competitor eBikes ship with — matched to a 1,000W+ motor that can otherwise destroy a lighter chainring under load. Honest note: under 200 Nm of combined motor torque, shift under light pedal pressure to protect the chain and derailleur — the same rule that applies to every geared eBike. The 7-speed range is functional, not refined — riders used to 9–11 speed Shimano groupsets will notice wider gaps between gears.
• Full-Colour LCD With Tap-to-Ride NFC Unlock and USB Charge Port — The display shows real-time speed, battery percentage, PAS level (1–5), trip distance, odometer, and drive mode. NFC tap-to-ride unlock means the bike will not power on without a paired NFC device — tap the NFC device to the display and the bike is live. The integrated USB charge port charges your phone from the main battery while you ride — useful in Canadian winter where phone batteries die in the cold faster than they do in summer. Tesway does not enumerate the NFC device count in the X5 AWD’s published box contents; the related X7 AWD platform on the Tesway lineup ships with two NFC devices, so a spare is the typical default. If a specific NFC count is decision-critical, call us at 1-866-938-7580 to confirm before purchase.
• 99-Lumen Motorcycle-Style Auto-Sensing LED Headlight With Integrated Horn (IPX6) — A real lighting system integrated into the bike, powered from the main battery. Auto-sensing brightness adjusts to ambient light: brighter at dusk, dimmer in daylight. The integrated horn replaces the standard bicycle bell with something audible from a car. The IPX6 waterproof rating means the headlight survives direct water jets and slush spray — meaningful for Canadian riders dealing with road spray, puddles, and spring melt runoff. Honest framing: 99 lumens is enough for being seen, not for lighting up an unlit rural road. For rural winter night riding, plan a supplementary handlebar light.
• Smart Brake-Sensing Integrated Taillight — The taillight auto-brightens when you grab the brake levers — the same way a brake light on a car illuminates harder under brake. Cars behind you see your stop signal the same way they read a vehicle’s brake light. No aftermarket lights to buy, no extra wiring to manage. Honest note: turn signals are not included on the X5 AWD — that remains a Tesway aftermarket option or a separate purchase.
• Selectable Drive Modes — Single, Dual, Pedal-Only — Switch between rear-only single-motor (battery-saver mode for dry pavement), dual-motor AWD (full traction mode for snow/gravel/mud/climbs), and pure pedal mode (motors off entirely) from the display. The right discipline: single-motor as default, AWD only when surface conditions or grade demand it. AWD use draws roughly 30–40% more energy per kilometre on flat terrain than single-motor — the trade-off is range versus traction.
• 5-Piece Tesway Accessory Kit Included (Manufacturer Promotional Offer) — Tesway lists six free accessories with the X5 AWD: water bottle holder, phone mount, rear bag, bike lock, brake pads, and rearview mirror. Tesway currently lists this kit at a $137.96 value and ships it free with the X5 AWD. The box also includes the charger, two keys, toolkit, pedals, and printed owner’s manual.
• UL 2849 + TÜV Safety Stack — Tesway states the X5 AWD’s system is TÜV-certified and complies with UL 2849 standards, and that the battery pack meets UL 2271 requirements — UL 2849 being the North American standard for eBike electrical-system safety (motor, controller, battery, and charger tested together as a system, not in isolation). Tesway also states the bike “meets UL and TÜV standards for eBikes and batteries.” TÜV is the European technical-safety standard (administered by TÜV Rheinland and similar bodies). At a Canadian price tier where many fat-tire dual-motor eBikes carry no independent safety certification at all, the UL 2849 line is the most important number on the spec sheet after the battery capacity.
• Aluminium-Alloy Step-Thru Frame — Reinforced for 400 lb Total Payload — Aluminium alloy keeps the frame lightweight and corrosion-resistant while remaining stiff enough to handle the dual motors’ torque without flex. Tesway does not publicly disclose the specific alloy grade (6061, 7005, etc.) on the X5 AWD product page. The step-thru geometry replaces the high top tube with a low front-of-frame entry, letting riders mount and dismount without swinging a leg. Not foldable. Tesway calls it their “Super Non-foldable” patented frame — the bike trades portability for structural strength under dual-motor load. The 400 lb total payload is 50 lb higher than the X7 AWD’s 350 lb — more headroom for heavier riders, gear, or a loaded rear seat.

Dimensions & Fit

Tesway publishes the following geometry and dimensional data for the X5 AWD platform:

Fit notes: The step-thru geometry suits riders from approximately 5’3″ to 6’5″ with seatpost adjustment — matching the X7 AWD’s published rider-height range, since both bikes share the same wheel size and seat-tube architecture. The low step-through height removes the leg-swing motion required to mount a step-over frame — meaningful for riders in long winter coats, work clothes, with hip mobility limits, or with a loaded rear seat or pannier where swinging over the top tube is impractical. Confirm exact sizing for your height at 1-866-938-7580 before ordering.
