Best SUV E-Bikes for Women & Men

In a world where sustainability, environmental awareness, and mobility are becoming increasingly important, SUV e-bikes are experiencing a real boom. This versatile e-bike category combines the robust build of an off-road e-bike with the comfort and practicality of a city bike—ideal for both women and men, whether in urban settings, while traveling, or on occasional adventures off the beaten path.

Models that combine comfort, range, and modern technology are particularly in demand— including innovative features like the solar charging function. In this article, we take a closer look at five top models from Mokwheel: Obsidian, Obsidian ST, Basalt, Basalt ST 2.0, and Scoria 2.0. We compare their features, intended uses, differences between frame types, and explain which model suits which riding style.

What is an SUV e-bike, and why is it so popular in 2025?

SUV e-bikes are the all-rounders among electric bicycles. They offer high load capacity, wide puncture-resistant tires, powerful batteries, and a comfortable riding position. Thanks to suspension forks and robust frames, they are suitable for both city riding and off-road adventures.

In 2025, they are especially popular as they increasingly come equipped with sustainable energy options such as solar charging technology. Mokwheel offers optional solar panels and inverters for all the models presented here, allowing for on-the-go recharging—ideal for camping, touring, or simply extending your range. For riders who value comfort and independence, an SUV e-bike with solar assistance becomes the optimal choice.

Target Audiences & Use Cases of SUV E-Bikes

• Commuters: Ideal for the daily commute—comfortable, reliable, and weatherproof.
• Campers & RV Travelers: Stay mobile even far from power outlets with the optional solar charging feature.
• Seniors: Low-step frames (e.g., Obsidian ST, Scoria 2.0) make mounting and dismounting easier.
• Adventure Seekers: Robust construction and puncture-resistant tires—perfect for forests, gravel paths, and beach trails.

Fully SUV E-Bikes: Obsidian & Obsidian ST

The Obsidian and Obsidian ST models represent the full-suspension class among SUV e-bikes. Both feature full suspension with a 130 mm adjustable front fork, providing maximum comfort on uneven terrain.

The 8-speed Shimano drivetrain offers a wide range for both climbs and fast rides. With a 48V 19.6Ah battery and a maximum range of 150 km, these bikes are suitable for both commuters and weekend adventurers.

Both versions are equipped with torque sensors that provide smooth, pedal-pressure-adjusted motor assistance. The hydraulic disc brakes ensure high safety. The puncture-resistant 26×4.0" fat tires offer excellent grip on asphalt, gravel, and loose surfaces.

A special highlight is the optional solar technology: with a separately available solar panel and inverter, the battery can be conveniently charged during breaks or downtime. Often, a sunny day is enough to gain an additional 20 to 30 km of range—ideal for camping, touring, or RV trips.

The difference between the two lies in the frame: the ST model features a low-step design, making it particularly appealing for women or individuals with limited mobility. The more upright seating position further enhances comfort in urban traffic.

Hardtail SUV E-Bikes: Basalt, Basalt ST 2.0 & Scoria 2.0

In the hardtail bike category, Mokwheel offers three powerful options: the Basalt, Basalt ST 2.0, and Scoria 2.0. These models feature adjustable front forks (100–110 mm) but no rear suspension, making them lighter and easier to maintain.

All three hardtail models share key features with the full-suspension variants:

• 48V 19.6Ah battery with up to 150 km range
• Torque sensors for intuitive riding
• Hydraulic brakes for safe stopping
• Pannensichere Fat Tires (26x4.0" bei Basalt, 20x4.0" bei Scoria 2.0)
  
• Solar charging function with inverter

The Basalt is designed for riders from 165 cm in height and features a robust aluminum frame. The Basalt ST 2.0 version also offers a low-step frame and a detachable HD display—ideal for better visibility and safety in traffic.

The Scoria 2.0 is the most compact model in the lineup, featuring 20-inch tires and recommended for riders 155 cm and taller. RV users and city commuters in particular benefit from its maneuverability, light weight, and space-saving design.

Now let’s take a look at the technical highlights at a glance.

Technical Similarities at a Glance

Despite differences in geometry and price range, all five models share some outstanding features:

• Powerful 250W hub motor (Obsidian ST with 65 Nm torque)
• Shimano drivetrains (8-speed on the Obsidian and Obsidian ST, 7-speed on the others)
• Hydraulic brakes
• 1–5 level intelligent pedal assist
• LED lighting systems with bright dual headlights
• Solar charging systems with panel + inverter

Additionally, each model is equipped with puncture-resistant tires, a sturdy aluminum frame (6061 alloy), and intuitive LED displays.

This combination of high-quality technology, intuitive operation, and robust construction makes Mokwheel SUV e-bikes suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. Whether it’s the daily commute, a weekend trip, or a longer trekking tour, the features provide not only comfort but also safety and reliability for everyday use.
