V20 Limited - Black

V20 Limited at GOfatbike

The V20 Limited is a newer model in the V20 line, with more features than the base model. You get a removable battery, Shimano gears, and dual suspension, all in a sturdy steel frame. The riding position remains upright and the tires stay wide, so the familiar comfort is still there. This model sits between the entry-level and the heavier versions. In this explanation, we go through what the V20 Limited has to offer and what to watch out for before you choose.

Seating and comfort

On the V20 Limited, you sit upright with a clear view of the road. The long saddle is spacious, so you sit comfortably and there’s even room for someone on the back. For those who often ride together, that longer saddle is a real plus. The dual suspension absorbs some of the shocks when the road surface gets rougher. This is nice for daily rides and longer trips. If you want a light, sporty bike, this model is not the right choice; the Limited opts for comfort and stability.

Range and battery

The V20 Limited has a larger battery (48 volts, 18 Ah) that you can remove from the frame to charge separately. The removable battery is handy because you can take it inside to charge, for example if you store the bike outside or in a shed. How far you can go depends on your weight, the wind, the number of stops, and the level of assistance. So don’t expect a fixed number, but plan for a range. Because the battery is a bit bigger, you generally have more range than on the base model. On the LCD display, you can see your speed, distance traveled, and how much battery is left.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The motor delivers 250 watts and supports speeds up to 25 km/h. Above that speed, you pedal on your own power. There is no throttle: you pedal yourself and the motor assists via pedal support, which you set in steps. This way, the V20 Limited remains a regular electric bike, without a license, registration, or helmet requirement. Do not modify the bike to increase its speed. Doing so removes it from the legal category, while the brakes and frame are adjusted for the allowed speed. Your warranty will then be void.

Tires, brakes, and riding feel

The 20-inch offroad tires provide grip on cobblestones, asphalt, and park paths. They roll heavier than narrow tires but offer stability. The hydraulic disc brakes grip cleanly and evenly, even when wet, and require little hand force. With the Shimano gears, you can easily shift to an easier or harder pedal, handy when accelerating or climbing. The bike can handle rain, and the sturdy steel frame supports up to 150 kilos. The downside is the bike’s weight: lifting and carrying a fatbike like this requires considerable strength.

Who is this fatbike for

The V20 Limited is for those who cycle daily and want more features than the basic model: a removable battery, gears, and a longer saddle. Commuting, shopping, and weekend rides are comfortable with it. Those who occasionally carry a passenger on the back will also find it suitable. To be honest: this fatbike is not light, so for those who need to lift it often on trains or buses, a more compact model is more convenient. Looking for comfort and some extras? Then the Limited is worth considering.
