The Engineering
Small Bike, Real Attitude
16″ Fat-Tire Mini Frame
High-strength carbon steel
Compact & Nimble
56" long with 16 × 4.0" fat tires — small enough to weave through the city yet planted enough to soak up curbs and gravel.
Stretched Saddle
An extended padded saddle gives you room to move and makes short two-up hops around the block comfortable.
Fits Almost Anyone
A low 28.7" seat height and a 3'11"-and-up fit make this the easiest Macfox to throw a leg over.
500W Punk Powertrain
500W nom · 750W peak · 48V
Peppy Hub Motor
A 500W rear hub peaks at 750W — plenty for a 20 mph Class-2 top speed and confident starts from the lights.
Removable 48V Battery
A 48V 10.4Ah (499Wh) pack lifts out for indoor charging and refills in 5–6 hours.
Thumb Throttle
A removable, position-adjustable thumb throttle means you can cruise on power alone or pedal when you like.
Safety & Stopping
UL 2849 · mechanical disc
UL-2849 Certified
The full e-system carries UL 2849 certification — the safety box you actually want ticked.
Disc Brakes Both Ends
Mechanical disc brakes front and rear with upgraded, quieter pads haul the little moto down predictably.
LED Lighting
Integrated LED head- and taillights keep you visible on early-morning and after-dark runs.
The Cockpit
A Simple, Honest Cockpit
Backlit LCD + Thumb Throttle + LED Lighting
The M16 keeps it clean: a backlit LCD shows speed, battery and assist level at a glance, with a separated dashboard and throttle so the controls stay tidy.
There's nothing to fuss with — hop on, thumb the throttle and go. Upgraded brake pads and a gold chain round out a bike that's as much about style as it is about the commute.

The Bike Cave Verdict
Ben's Take
I haven't ridden the M16 on camera yet, but on paper it's the fun one — a compact 16-inch fat-tire mini moto that trades outright range for character and easy fit. You get a 500W (750W peak) hub good for a 20 mph Class-2 cruise, a removable 48V battery, UL-2849 safety and disc brakes at both ends, all for $1,099. It's not a distance machine — 25 miles and a single-speed drivetrain tell you this is a neighbourhood cruiser, not a tourer — but as a stylish, approachable first e-bike or a compact second bike, it's easy to like. I'll confirm the ride on camera soon.
👍 What stands out
- Compact, nimble 16-inch fat-tire package with real style
- 500W / 750W-peak hub is plenty for a 20 mph city cruise
- Removable 48V battery + UL-2849 certification
- Low 28.7" seat — the easiest-fitting Macfox
- Sharp $1,099 price
👎 What to know
- Not yet reviewed on camera — verdict and score to come
- 25-mile range and single speed — a cruiser, not a tourer
- Mechanical (not hydraulic) disc brakes
- 220 lb max load is lower than the bigger Macfox models
