Questions people ask about the HAOQI Antelope
How much does it weigh?
The Antelope weighs 22.7 kg. That is lighter than the median city e-bike, which is 27.2 kg. It is still a substantial weight to lift. You will need a strong rack or a ground-level storage spot.
How much torque does it have?
Torque is 90 Nm. That is double the median for its type. This helps with hills and quick starts. The motor is a hub motor, which is common at this price.
What speed class is it?
It is a fast class e-bike. Assist goes up to 45 km/h. That is above the 25 km/h limit for standard e-bikes. Check local rules before you ride.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 137 km. MathBikes estimates 88 km, with a band from 77 to 98 km. That estimate is 36% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. Use the range calculator to adjust for your weight and terrain.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1599 USD. That is 23% above the median for its type. Running costs include electricity and maintenance. The large battery may cost more to replace. Use the cost calculator to see long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The Antelope makes a clear trade-off. It has a huge battery, but the range estimate is still 36% below the claim. You should expect less than the advertised distance. Also, the warranty is not published. That is a risk if you want long-term coverage.
Who should buy it
The Antelope fits riders who want a long-range city bike. It is also good if you value a lighter weight for its class. The high torque helps on hills. But it is not for everyone.
- You commute long distances and want fewer charges.
- You need strong hill-climbing power from a hub motor.
- You prefer a bike that is lighter than average for its battery size.
Look elsewhere if you need a folding bike or a step-through frame. The Antelope has neither. Also, if you want a throttle, this bike does not have one. And if you need a published warranty, this model does not list one.
