Ride it like a bike

Keep the Shimano 7-speed drivetrain so you can pedal, legally pass as a bicycle on the bike path, and limp home under your own power if the battery ever runs flat.

Prefer pure throttle? Order it with foot pegs instead of pedals for the cleanest, most stripped-back moped look. Same frame, same power — no chain to fuss with.

The Engineering

Built On Better Technology

Motor Goat FASTACE coil rear shock and frame

Frame Technology

Reinforced aluminum, built for 60V power and 450 lbs.

Reinforced Aluminum Alloy Frame

A stout, reinforced alloy frame carries a 450 lb weight limit and keeps everything planted under 3,000 watts of hub-motor torque.

Full Front & Rear Suspension

A TRAMA triple-clamp fork up front and a 350 lb-rated FASTACE coil shock out back soak up chatter, potholes, and rough trails.

Dialed To Your Weight

The rear shock has both compression and rebound settings, so you can tune the ride for your weight and the terrain you ride.

Motor Goat direct-drive rear hub motor, cassette and derailleur

Motor Technology

Gearless direct-drive, 3,000W peak.

3,000W Peak Direct-Drive Hub

A custom 2,000W-rated gearless motor peaks at 3,000 watts and 170 Nm — enough to hold 28 mph up a 15% grade and hit 45 mph on the flats.

50A Controller

A 50-amp controller — roughly double a typical e-bike's — feeds the motor for savage, silent off-the-line acceleration.

Whisper-Quiet, Wear-Free

Direct-drive means no internal gears to wear out and a nearly silent ride, even at full tilt.

Battery & Power

60V Samsung-celled pack.

60V 25Ah Samsung Battery

Built on premium Samsung cells across 17 strings, it charges all the way to 71.4 volts — higher than a typical 60V pack.

Real-World Range

Up to 56 miles in pedal assist or 37 all-electric — and a 2nd battery kit slots into the frame to nearly triple your range.

~5–6 Hour Charge

The 25Ah pack refills in about five to six hours at 4 amps, so it's ready to rip again by the next morning.

The Cockpit

Everything On One Screen

2.8" Color LCD + App Control (key ignition required)

The Motor Goat runs off a bright 2.8-inch color display that shows your speed, exact wattage going to the motor, battery percentage and voltage, trip data, and pedal-assist level — with a night mode that dims automatically and a sunlight mode that cranks brightness outdoors.

A handlebar remote runs your headlight high/low beam, LED turn signals, hazards, and horn. Pair the app for optional GPS navigation, and lock it down with the rear wheel lock and throttle lock whenever you park.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

This is about as close to motorcycle performance as you'll get on a bicycle for under three grand — and it's not even close. I've reviewed well over 50 bikes in the last year or two, and for around $2,500 after the code, the Motor Goat V3 is simply the most bike I've ever seen for the money. It's a 60-volt powerhouse: a 3,000-watt peak hub motor, a 50-amp controller, and a Samsung-celled battery that charges to 71.4 volts. I hit 45 mph, held 28 up a 15% grade, and the 4-piston brakes on 203mm rotors stopped it dead well inside 20 feet. The triple-clamp fork and FASTACE coil shock soak up everything, and that diamond-stitched seat is one I could sit on for hours. It's tall — under 5'6" look elsewhere — and the slick tires aren't built for mud. But if you want speed, power, and quality between your legs, use the code and just order it. You won't be disappointed.

👍 What I loved

  • Insane value — the closest thing to a motorcycle under $3,000
  • 3,000W peak / 170 Nm — brutal acceleration and hill-climbing
  • 4-piston hydraulic brakes on 203mm rotors stop it dead
  • Triple-clamp fork + FASTACE coil shock = genuinely comfortable
  • Refined V3 build: turn signals, locks, app, mag wheels, plush seat

👎 What to know

  • Tall bike — riders under 5'6" should look elsewhere
  • Stock slick tires aren't made for mud or sand
  • 95 lbs — you'll want a truck bed or a beefy rack
  • Fast enough to get you in trouble — ride responsibly
