Thunder Leisure F500 Electric Bike

Thunder Leisure F500 Electric Bike

The Thunder Leisure F500 is a compact fat-tire e-bike for relaxed city rides, recreational paths, and riders who value comfort and predictable control over maximum motor output. A 500W Bafang G060 rear hub motor delivers up to 65 N·m of torque, supported by a 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery.

Comfort for City and Leisure Routes

Thunder lists up to 75 km of range under favourable conditions. Actual range changes with assist level, hills, temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, wind, and repeated acceleration. The 20 × 4-inch Kenda Krusade Sport tires provide a broad contact patch, while the adjustable MOZO suspension fork helps reduce vibration from cracked pavement and packed paths.

Leisure F500 vs. Folding Step-Over F500

The Leisure F500 emphasizes a compact, comfort-oriented riding format with hydraulic brakes and a 15Ah battery. The Folding Step-Over F500 adds a folding frame and offers a larger 20Ah battery option, but uses mechanical disc brakes. Riders who do not need the frame to fold may prefer the Leisure model’s simpler chassis and hydraulic braking.

Controlled Braking and Familiar Gearing

Logan hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors deliver progressive stopping. Shimano Tourney 7-speed gearing supports comfortable pedalling across flat routes and moderate inclines, while pedal assist and a thumb throttle provide flexible power delivery.
