Thunder Leisure F500: Comfort-Focused Fat-Tire Features

Every figure below is labelled with where it comes from, so a manufacturer’s claim never reads as a measurement.

01 Leisure assistance

The Thunder Leisure F500 uses a 500W Bafang G060 rear hub motor with up to 65 N·m of torque for relaxed city and recreational riding.

02 Battery and range

48V 15Ah battery with up to 75 km claimed range

  • 48 V 15 AhBattery
  • 75 kmMax claimed range
  • RemovableBattery format

Range depends on assist level, speed, hills, rider load and temperature.

03 Comfort and control

Hydraulic brakes with 20 × 4-inch fat tires and MOZO suspension

Hydraulic disc brakes, 20 × 4-inch fat tires and a MOZO front suspension fork give the Leisure F500 a comfort-focused setup for urban and recreational riding.

  • HydraulicDisc brakes
  • 20 × 4 inFat tires
  • MOZOFront suspension

Brake condition, tire pressure and surface grip affect handling and stopping distance.

04 Fit and handling

About 29.5 kg in a compact fat-tire chassis

At about 29.5 kg, the Leisure F500 is built around comfort and stability rather than lightweight carrying.

  • 20 inWheel format
  • Fat-tireChassis focus

Check stairs and vehicle loading before purchase if frequent lifting is required.

05 Drivetrain

Shimano 7-speed gearing for city and leisure riding

  • 7-speedShimano drivetrain
  • Pedal assistElectric support
  • LeisureUse case

Use lower mechanical gears on climbs for comfortable cadence and reduced drivetrain load.

Thunder Leisure F500 Electric Bike

The Thunder Leisure F500 is a compact fat-tire e-bike for relaxed city rides, recreational paths, and riders who value comfort and predictable control over maximum motor output. A 500W Bafang G060 rear hub motor delivers up to 65 N·m of torque, supported by a 48V 15Ah Samsung lithium-ion battery.

Comfort for City and Leisure Routes

Thunder lists up to 75 km of range under favourable conditions. Actual range changes with assist level, hills, temperature, rider weight, tire pressure, wind, and repeated acceleration. The 20 × 4-inch Kenda Krusade Sport tires provide a broad contact patch, while the adjustable MOZO suspension fork helps reduce vibration from cracked pavement and packed paths.

Leisure F500 vs. Folding Step-Over F500

The Leisure F500 emphasizes a compact, comfort-oriented riding format with hydraulic brakes and a 15Ah battery. The Folding Step-Over F500 adds a folding frame and offers a larger 20Ah battery option, but uses mechanical disc brakes. Riders who do not need the frame to fold may prefer the Leisure model’s simpler chassis and hydraulic braking.

Controlled Braking and Familiar Gearing

Logan hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors deliver progressive stopping. Shimano Tourney 7-speed gearing supports comfortable pedalling across flat routes and moderate inclines, while pedal assist and a thumb throttle provide flexible power delivery.

I drove all the way from Seattle to bring my daughter's scooter to ProMechBC and I could not be more pleased with both the repairs and the customer service. I will definitely be bringing the scooter North of the border when it needs some love.

Recently had an accident with my Apollo Go — luckily nothing major was damaged, but it still needed some repair and replacement parts. Service was great, and I got my scooter back within a week. :D

The service was incredibly fast, professional and efficient — they fixed my scooter wheel quickly and the quality of the repair was outstanding. Honest, reliable, professional and fast.
