Hiboy P6 Fat Tire Electric Bike Review: Smooth Sailing

Hiboy P6 宽胎电动自行车评测：平稳骑行体验

I’ve always been staunchly on the analog side of the ebike versus traditional bike debate. Even when I lived in New York City and regularly commuted on a nonelectric road bike, I relished how sweaty I got, feeling like the queen of multitasking when I turned my transit time into a workout. Of course, ebikes have great perks and make getting out on two wheels way more accessible. I just never thought I could enjoy one the way I do a regular bike.

在电动自行车与传统自行车的争论中，我一直坚定地站在传统自行车这一边。即使在我住在纽约市、经常骑非电动公路车通勤时，我也很享受大汗淋漓的感觉，每当把通勤时间变成锻炼时间，我就觉得自己是多任务处理的女王。当然，电动自行车有其巨大的优势，让骑行变得更加普及。只是我从未想过自己能像喜欢普通自行车那样喜欢上电动自行车。

Testing the Hiboy P6 Fat Tire Electric Bike was decidedly fun, though. I’m not an ebike convert yet, but the Hiboy’s extremely comfortable ride, fat tires that can blast through just about anything, and easy-to-use interface really made me warm up to this mode of transportation.

不过，测试 Hiboy P6 宽胎电动自行车的经历确实非常有趣。虽然我还算不上电动自行车的忠实拥趸，但 Hiboy 极其舒适的骑行感受、能够应对各种路况的宽胎，以及简单易用的操作界面，确实让我对这种交通方式有了改观。

Simple Setup

简易安装

Hiboy is an affordable Chinese e-mobility brand offering scooters and bikes for adults and kids that you can order on Amazon. The bike arrived on my doorstep in one giant box, and only a few steps were required for assembly. I had to attach the front wheel, handlebars, and lights, and connect some wires, but putting it together was relatively simple, and I didn’t need any tools that weren’t provided. You can fully charge the detachable battery in about six hours for 50 to 62 pedal-assisted miles of range (you get about half that on pure electricity).

Hiboy 是一个经济实惠的中国电动出行品牌，提供可在亚马逊上订购的成人及儿童滑板车和自行车。自行车送到我家时是一个巨大的包装箱，组装过程只需几个步骤。我需要安装前轮、车把和车灯，并连接一些电线，但整体组装相对简单，且不需要任何自带工具之外的额外工具。可拆卸电池充满电大约需要六小时，在踏板辅助模式下续航里程可达 50 到 62 英里（纯电模式下续航约为上述里程的一半）。

First Impressions

初步印象

The Hiboy P6 is a lot of bike, especially if you’re used to riding lightweight carbon triathlon bikes, like me. It weighs 65 pounds (pretty average for an ebike, but the fat tires make it bulkier). The front tire is easy to take on and off for transport, and while I could lug it into and out of my SUV without assistance, it was kind of a pain. I’d recommend a ramp if you plan to haul this bike on a rack or in your car on a regular basis.

Hiboy P6 是一辆“分量十足”的自行车，尤其是对于像我这样习惯骑轻量化碳纤维铁人三项自行车的人来说。它重达 65 磅（对于电动自行车来说属于平均水平，但宽胎使其看起来更笨重）。前轮拆装方便，便于运输，虽然我可以独自把它搬进搬出我的 SUV，但这确实有点费劲。如果你打算经常用架子或汽车运载这辆车，我建议准备一个坡道。

I’m 5’4”, and even with the seat on the lowest setting where the balls of my feet could touch the ground, I felt a little unstable when the bike was stopped, particularly on steep inclines and declines. It’s just a lot of machine to handle. (Plus, the brand doesn’t recommend it for people under 5’3”.) The P6 will probably feel more comfortable for taller or bigger folks, or people who are used to ebikes, fat bikes, or heavy mountain bikes.

我身高 5 英尺 4 英寸（约 163 厘米），即使将座椅调到最低，脚掌勉强能触地，但在停车时我仍感到有些不稳定，尤其是在陡峭的坡道上。这台机器确实很难驾驭。（此外，品牌方不建议身高 5 英尺 3 英寸以下的人使用。）对于身材更高大的人，或者习惯了电动自行车、宽胎车或重型山地车的人来说，P6 可能会让他们感觉更舒适。

What the aluminum alloy P6 lacks in grace and maneuverability, it makes up for in comfort. The seat is wide and plush, and the hydraulic suspension fork (which you can lock out) and the deeply lugged 26-by-4 inch tires flatten every bump in the road. I felt as if I were on a Mad Max version of an ebike, invincible to glass and potholes, when I was riding through Denver.

铝合金材质的 P6 虽然缺乏优雅和灵活性，但在舒适性上弥补了这一点。座椅宽大且柔软，液压避震前叉（可锁定）以及 26x4 英寸的深齿轮胎能平复路面上的每一个颠簸。当我在丹佛骑行时，感觉自己就像骑着一辆《疯狂的麦克斯》风格的电动自行车，无惧玻璃碎片和坑洼。

The Class 3 P6 has a 750-watt motor (peak 1,000 watts) and three riding options: pure electric mode, which you can use with the handlebar throttle to go up to 20 mph; pedal assist, which can take you up to 28 mph; and analog mode. The pedal assist can feel jerky if you don’t have the right power mode and gear combo (the bike has a Shimano seven-speed gear system). Once that’s dialed in, though, the ride is very smooth.

这款 Class 3 等级的 P6 配备了 750 瓦电机（峰值 1,000 瓦），并提供三种骑行模式：纯电模式（通过车把油门最高可达 20 mph）、踏板辅助模式（最高可达 28 mph）以及人力模式。如果你没有选择合适的动力模式和档位组合（该车配备 Shimano 七速变速系统），踏板辅助可能会有顿挫感。但一旦调整好，骑行体验就会非常顺滑。

I really appreciated that you don’t have to use an app to control this bike or set anything up. It feels wrong to have to download and log into an app to partake in what should be a blissfully phone-free activity, but a lot of ebikes require that. I also liked the integrated lights and sturdy kickstand. The bike is a little hard to lock up with a standard U-lock because the frame is so thick, but I was able to do it with some finagling. The battery is easy to take out too, but adds a little over 7 pounds to your bag. I also like that, other than being big, the P6 looks like a regular bike.

我非常欣赏这款车不需要通过 App 来控制或设置任何东西。为了享受本应远离手机的骑行乐趣，却还要下载并登录 App，这感觉很奇怪，但很多电动自行车都要求这样做。我也很喜欢它集成的车灯和坚固的支架。由于车架很厚，用标准的 U 型锁锁车有点困难，但稍微折腾一下还是可以锁住的。电池拆卸也很方便，但会给你的包增加 7 磅多的重量。另外，除了体积大之外，P6 看起来就像一辆普通自行车，这一点我也很喜欢。

Off-Road Cred

越野能力

The best part about the P6 is how well it performs on gravel and trails. When I took it for a ride through Waterton Canyon, a 6.2-mile gravel road that winds along the South Platte River outside Denver, it easily crunched over rocks and cruised through puddles and mud (though it did get some stares for its beefiness). It offered solid power on climbs, and it made riding through the foothills feel shockingly comfortable and easy.

P6 最棒的地方在于它在碎石路和林道上的表现。当我骑着它穿过丹佛郊外沿着南普拉特河蜿蜒的 6.2 英里碎石路——沃特顿峡谷（Waterton Canyon）时，它能轻松碾过岩石，平稳穿过水坑和泥地（尽管它那魁梧的身材引来了不少目光）。它在爬坡时提供了强劲的动力，让我在山脚下的骑行变得出奇地舒适和轻松。

When I was using the throttle and not pedaling, I felt like I was riding a Vespa with off-road capabilities. The bike put me in a super-upright position, and the weight of the machine paired with stationary pedals made it feel more like a motor scooter than a bike. I’d love to try this in the snow—I think it would easily plow through powder, crust, or slush.

当我使用油门而不踩踏板时，感觉就像骑着一辆具备越野能力的 Vespa 踏板车。这辆车让我保持着非常直立的姿势，机器的重量加上静止的踏板，让它感觉更像是一辆机动踏板车而不是自行车。我很想在雪地里试试它——我觉得它应该能轻松犁开粉雪、硬雪或泥泞的雪地。

It’s hard to imagine using this for true mountain biking, or riding this on super-steep inclines or downhills, only because of the weight. But it feels totally capable of handling any conditions or terrain in terms of traction and braking. For someone larger, control might not be an issue, and the brand says its max climbing capability is 20 percent.

很难想象用它来进行真正的山地骑行，或者在超陡的坡道上骑行，这仅仅是因为它的重量。但在牵引力和制动方面，它完全有能力应对任何路况或地形。对于体型较大的人来说，操控可能不是问题，品牌方称其最大爬坡能力为 20%。

This ebike is perfect for anyone who wants to ride gravel, sand, or low-vert trails without ever having to think too much about conditions—the fat tires rip.

这款电动自行车非常适合那些想要在碎石路、沙地或低海拔林道上骑行，且不想过多考虑路况的人——它的宽胎表现极其出色。
