Over the past few years, the global e-bike market has shifted from rapid growth to increased competition, with brands offering increasingly similar performance and pricing. As the holiday season approaches and more riders consider e-bikes as practical Christmas gifts, moto-style models have become particularly popular. These models typically feature a reinforced main frame, a semi-enclosed battery compartment, an elongated motorcycle-style saddle, and wider 20×4-inch tires, giving them a stance much closer to a compact electric motorbike.
Luckeep is one of the brands actively developing within this segment, focusing on high-power electric moped-style e-bikes.
Among its lineup, the M5 Max is positioned as a performance-focused option within the series and is marketed by Luckeep as one of their “Best Budget Electric Bike of 2025.” Designed to offer increased output, stability, and range flexibility, the M5 Max targets riders looking for a more capable e-bike solution for urban and mixed paved riding.
Motor & Power Specifications
The M5 Max is equipped with a 1500W rear motor with a peak output of 2000W, placing it within the higher-power range of electric moped-style e-bikes. This power configuration is intended to support stronger acceleration and consistent output during city riding, including starts from traffic lights and riding on mild inclines.
Compared to lower-powered 750–1000W models, higher-output systems like this are commonly selected by riders who prioritize maintaining speed across uneven pavement or longer stretches of flat road. While the exterior design carries motorcycle-inspired styling, the power delivery is configured primarily for urban streets and mixed paved surfaces.
With a listed top speed of up to 37.5 mph, the M5 Max reflects the performance direction of modern moped-style e-bikes designed for city commuting and longer daily routes, subject to local regulations.
Battery Life & Dual Power System
The M5 Max comes standard with a 52V 20Ah battery, suitable for most daily commuting needs. Riders who require additional range have the option to equip a second external 20Ah battery, increasing total capacity for longer-distance use or multiple trips throughout the day.
The removable battery design allows charging indoors, at the office, or anywhere with access to a standard power outlet. A full charge typically takes approximately 5–6 hours, fitting into most daily charging routines.
As with any high-power e-bike, real-world range varies depending on speed, rider weight, temperature, and road conditions. The available dual-battery configuration provides added flexibility for riders with extended commuting or daily riding requirements.
Frame & Ride Geometry
The M5 Max uses a 6061 aluminum alloy forged frame paired with reinforced electric moped construction, supporting a total weight capacity of up to 400 lbs. This structure is intended to enhance stability during acceleration and under heavier loads.
Its elongated moto-style saddle offers a wider seating area, and the overall geometry is designed to promote a relaxed, upright riding posture. The extended seat length also allows for short-distance passenger use where permitted by local regulations.
The 20×4-inch tires, combined with an inverted hydraulic front fork and rear spring shock, are designed to help reduce road vibration and improve stability over uneven pavement, potholes, and longer paved rides.
Safety & Visibility Features
The M5 Max is equipped with 180mm hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, providing consistent braking performance across a range of riding conditions.
For visibility, the bike includes a round LED headlight suitable for nighttime riding, along with a rear light with integrated brake and turn-signal functions, helping improve rider visibility in traffic.
An NFC unlock system is also included, allowing riders to power on the bike with a tap instead of using a traditional key.
Smart Display & Riding Controls
A 4-inch IPS display presents riding information such as speed, battery level, mileage, and assist mode. The display is designed to remain readable in bright outdoor conditions.
The system also includes USB charging, allowing riders to power mobile devices or navigation equipment while on the move.
