The Tesway X5 AWD electric bike combines a low step-through frame with dual-motor all-wheel drive, a large 52V 60Ah battery, full suspension, and a utility-focused design. The lower frame opening makes mounting and dismounting easier than on the step-over X7 AWD, while the two-motor system provides additional traction and power for hills, loose surfaces, and heavier loads.
Tesway lists up to 3,600W of peak output and a maximum speed of 38 mph. The 52V 60Ah battery provides 3,120Wh of listed capacity and supports a manufacturer-listed pedal-assist range of up to 200 miles under favorable test conditions. Actual speed and range depend on rider and cargo weight, motor mode, assistance level, throttle use, terrain, elevation, wind, temperature, tire pressure, battery condition, and maintenance.
At approximately 119 lb, this is a large and heavy electric bike. Buyers should consider storage, vehicle transport, lifting, low-speed handling, and bike-rack capacity before ordering.
The listed power and speed may exceed common Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 e-bike limits. Check state and local requirements for public roads, bike lanes, parks, trails, registration, licensing, insurance, safety equipment, and private-property use before riding.

Dual-Motor AWD Performance
The X5 AWD uses front and rear hub motors to provide all-wheel-drive support. Tesway lists a combined rated output of 2,000W, up to 3,600W of peak output, and up to 200 Nm of torque.
AWD can improve acceleration and traction when climbing hills or riding over loose and uneven surfaces. Riders can also expect higher energy use when both motors are engaged, particularly at higher speeds or under heavy loads.
The manufacturer lists a maximum speed of up to 38 mph. Actual speed varies with rider weight, battery charge, terrain, wind, tire pressure, motor mode, and riding conditions.
Because of the bike’s power and weight, new owners should first become familiar with its throttle response, braking, turning, and low-speed balance in a controlled area.
Battery and Range
The 52V 60Ah battery provides 3,120Wh of listed energy capacity. Its size is one of the main reasons the X5 AWD offers considerably more range potential than a typical commuter e-bike.
Tesway lists:
- Up to 200 miles of pedal-assist range
- Up to 180 miles of throttle-only range
These are maximum manufacturer estimates rather than guaranteed everyday distances. The highest figures require favorable conditions and efficient riding. Dual-motor use, frequent acceleration, high speeds, hills, heavier loads, cold temperatures, wind, and low tire pressure can substantially reduce range.
Fast Charging
The included 58.8V 8A charger has an approximate charging time of seven hours.
Charging time may vary with the remaining battery level, temperature, battery age, and charging environment. Use the supplied charger in a dry, ventilated area and follow the battery-care instructions provided with the bike.
Step-Through Frame
The low step-through frame reduces the height riders need to lift a leg when getting on or off the bike. This can be helpful during frequent stops, when carrying cargo, or for riders who find a high step-over frame difficult to use.
The frame is non-folding and built around a large central battery. Although mounting is easier, the bike remains heavy and substantial. The step-through design should not be confused with a lightweight or compact frame.
Full Suspension
A 120mm hydraulic lockout dual-crown fork and rear spring suspension help absorb vibration and impacts from rough pavement, gravel, and uneven routes.
The lockout function allows riders to firm the front suspension when less movement is preferred on smoother surfaces. Full suspension can improve comfort and control, but it does not make the bike suitable for every technical trail, jump, or extreme off-road route.
Fat Tires and Handling
The 20 × 4-inch Kenda fat tires provide a wide contact area for stability and traction across paved roads, gravel, compact dirt, and other suitable surfaces. Reflective sidewalls add visibility in lower-light conditions.
The wide tires, long frame, large battery, and 119 lb bike weight give the X5 AWD a heavier feel than a conventional bicycle. Allow additional space for turning, stopping, parking, and maneuvering at low speeds.
Brakes and Drivetrain
The bike uses four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm front and rear rotors. This braking setup is appropriate for the bike’s weight, speed, and payload capability.
A Shimano 7-speed drivetrain provides a practical gear range for climbing, cruising, and pedal-assisted riding. Brake pads, rotors, tires, spokes, chain, and fasteners should be inspected regularly, especially when the bike is used at higher speeds or with cargo.
Display and Security
The full-color LCD display presents speed, battery level, mileage, assistance settings, and other ride information.
NFC unlocking allows the bike to be powered on using the supplied NFC cards. Electronic access control can discourage unauthorized use, but it does not replace a strong physical lock and secure storage.
Lighting and Visibility
The X5 AWD includes a front headlight and a brake-sensing rear light. The rear light brightens during braking to help communicate slowing to other road users.
The lighting system improves visibility but should be checked before every ride. Local rules may require additional lights, reflectors, or safety equipment.
Size, Weight, and Payload
The bike weighs approximately 119 lb, including a battery weighing about 29.8 lb. Its maximum listed payload is 400 lb.
Payload includes the rider and any cargo, accessories, or passenger equipment carried on the bike. Do not assume that every rack, basket, seat, or accessory is rated for the bike’s full payload capacity.
Confirm that vehicle racks, lifts, storage stands, and transport equipment can support the bike’s total weight.
Recommended Use
The Tesway X5 AWD may suit:
- Experienced e-bike riders
- Riders who prefer a step-through frame
- Long-distance recreational riding
- Utility-focused local travel
- Hills and mixed-surface routes
- Riders who want selectable AWD support
- Heavier riders or riders carrying approved cargo
- Buyers with suitable ground-level storage
It may be less practical for riders who need frequent stair carrying, compact storage, easy lifting, or the handling of a lightweight conventional bicycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of AWD on the Tesway X5?
The front and rear motors can provide additional traction and acceleration on hills, gravel, loose surfaces, and uneven routes.
Using both motors also increases battery consumption, so AWD may reduce range compared with riding in a lower-power mode.
Is the 200-mile range typical?
No. The 200-mile figure is a manufacturer-listed maximum for pedal-assisted riding under favorable conditions.
Everyday range may be considerably lower depending on speed, assistance level, motor mode, throttle use, rider and cargo weight, hills, temperature, wind, tire pressure, and battery condition.
What is the throttle-only range?
Tesway lists up to 180 miles of throttle-only range under its test conditions.
This is a maximum estimate rather than a guaranteed distance. Sustained high-speed riding, frequent starts, hills, AWD use, and heavier loads can substantially reduce throttle range.
Is the step-through frame easier to use?
The lower frame opening reduces how high the rider must lift a leg when mounting and dismounting. This can help during frequent stops or when rear cargo makes swinging a leg over the bike more difficult.
The bike still weighs approximately 119 lb, so the step-through frame does not make it lightweight or easy to lift.
How much weight can the X5 AWD carry?
The manufacturer lists a maximum payload capacity of 400 lb. This includes the rider and all cargo, accessories, or passenger equipment.
Individual racks, baskets, seats, and accessories may have lower limits that must also be followed.
How long does the battery take to charge?
Tesway lists an approximate charging time of seven hours with the supplied 58.8V 8A charger.
Charging time can vary with the starting battery level, temperature, battery condition, and charging environment.
Can the X5 AWD be ridden on public streets?
Its listed output and maximum speed may exceed standard e-bike limits in some locations. Public-road eligibility depends on local classification, speed settings, required equipment, registration, licensing, and insurance rules.
Check the requirements for every road, bike lane, park, and trail where you plan to ride.
Is the X5 AWD easy to transport?
At approximately 119 lb, the bike is too heavy for many standard bicycle racks and may be difficult to lift manually.
Use a rack or transport system specifically rated for the bike’s weight, wheel size, frame shape, and tire width.
What is the difference between the X5 AWD and X7 AWD?
The main difference is the frame design. The X5 AWD uses a step-through frame, while the X7 AWD uses a step-over frame. Tesway states that their other primary functions are the same.
