The Macfox X2 Pro is a full-suspension fat tire commuter e-bike with a 750W motor (1000W peak), designed for city streets and light off-road paths. Its motorcycle-inspired design sits on a high-strength carbon steel frame for a stable, planted feel, and it is recommended for riders 5'3" and up. It is a Class 2 e-bike with assistance up to 20 mph and is UL 2849 certified. The original Macfox X2 was sold in an earlier configuration rated up to 28 mph; its successor, the X2 Pro, is a Class 2 e-bike with assistance limited to 20 mph.
Below we look at the X2 Pro's power and performance, range, comfort and braking, and how it compares with the X1S.
Macfox X2 Pro Electric Bike Overview
The Macfox X2 Pro is a full-suspension electric bike with a 750W motor (peak power of 1000W) and 65Nm of torque, suited to city streets and light off-road paths. Its design is inspired by motorcycles, with a high-strength carbon steel frame, and it is recommended for riders 5'3" and up. It works well for daily commuting and is also popular with riders who enjoy a playful, motorcycle-style feel.
Power and Performance
The Macfox X2 Pro uses a 750W motor that peaks at 1000W, giving quick, smooth acceleration and help on moderate hills. Assistance is limited to 20 mph as a Class 2 e-bike. The hydraulic disc brake system provides smooth, reliable braking so riders stay in control when accelerating or climbing.
Range and Battery Life
The Macfox X2 Pro uses a 48V 20Ah removable battery with an estimated range of up to 40 miles per charge, or up to 80 miles with the dual-battery option. That covers most daily commutes and longer weekend rides. Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, assist level, tire pressure and temperature.
Riding Comfort
The X2 Pro has front and rear suspension and fat tires, 4.5 inches wide in front and 5 inches in the rear, which absorb vibration and add comfort on rough city roads or light off-road paths. The wide tires improve traction and stability. A long, padded seat helps reduce pressure points on longer rides.
Advanced Braking System
The Macfox X2 Pro uses a hydraulic disc brake system with precise, progressive feedback, avoiding the grabby feel that mechanical brakes can have. That helps riders slow down smoothly and confidently in the city or on light off-road paths. On wet or uneven surfaces, allow extra stopping distance and ride at a speed that suits the conditions.
Real Riders, Real Reviews
The following feedback comes from owners of the original Macfox X2, the predecessor of the X2 Pro. Reviews are quoted as written:
-
Brady J.: “Super fun bike! I got the X2, and it was such a smooth setup and immediate fun riding. I would absolutely recommend it for people wanting to get into e-bikes or people who already have one. The X2 is awesome!”
-
Westyn M.: “Great e-bike! So easy to wheelie, and also the easiest bike to mod for sure. Parts are very high quality and do not disappoint. It handles jumps like crazy! The only thing I have to say that is okay is the back suspension, but besides that, it is great!”
-
Raul M.: “I got the Macfox X2 for my son for this summer, and he loves it. The speed and the suspension on the e-bike are great!!! It’s also a great beginner e-bike for anybody new to e-bikes, and I would definitely recommend it.”

Key Comparison Summary
The Macfox X2 Pro is a strong fit for riders who want more power and longer range, along with full suspension and fat tires for rough roads and light off-road paths. Its suspension, wide tires and hydraulic disc brakes add comfort and control on longer rides. The Macfox X1S suits city commuting and daily casual rides, especially for newer riders, with a lighter, simpler setup. Both are Class 2 e-bikes limited to 20 mph and UL 2849 certified.
750W Motor Speed and Control
A 750W motor can help an off-road style e-bike hold speed better on hills, loose surfaces, and longer outdoor rides, but speed should be treated as a control decision rather than the only performance metric. Riders should pair higher assist levels with predictable braking distance, stable tire pressure, and terrain that allows enough sightline to slow down safely.
For Macfox X2 Pro shoppers, the key question is not only how fast the bike can feel, but how the motor, dual-battery range, fat tires and brakes work together. Use lower assist in crowded areas, reserve higher assist for open sections, and check local e-bike rules before riding at the 20 mph top assisted speed.
FAQ
How fast does the Macfox X2 Pro go?
Answer: The Macfox X2 Pro is a Class 2 e-bike with a top assisted speed of 20 mph (about 32 km/h). The original Macfox X2 was sold in an earlier configuration rated up to 28 mph; its successor, the X2 Pro, is a Class 2 e-bike with assistance limited to 20 mph.
Can the Macfox X2 Pro carry two riders?
Answer: The X2 Pro is designed for one rider. We don't recommend riding two-up, even if the combined weight seems within the load rating.
Can you make the Macfox X2 Pro faster?
Answer: We don't recommend it. The X2 Pro is designed, certified and labeled as a Class 2 e-bike at 20 mph. Changing controller settings or components to raise its speed can:
- Void the warranty and the UL 2849 certification of the bike as built.
- Reduce safety margins for braking, tires, motor heat and battery life.
- Change its legal status, so it may no longer qualify as a Class 2 e-bike where you ride.
