The AMYET S8 exists to answer one question: how much motor can you get for around a thousand dollars? With dual 1000W hubs producing a combined 3000W peak and a 48V 25Ah battery, the answer is "more than almost anything else at the price." Here's who that actually makes sense for — and the trade-offs owners report.
★. AMYET S8
Flagship Power
- Motor: Dual 1000W, 3000W peak
- Battery: 48V 25Ah
- Top speed: 32–35 mph
- Range: 70–75 mi rated
- Weight: ~90 lb
- Price: $1,049–$1,599
Dual-motor all-wheel drive gives the S8 climbing and traction ability that single-motor bikes at twice the price can't match. The 25Ah battery is what makes the power usable — high-draw riding drains smaller packs fast, but the S8 holds meaningful range even ridden hard.
✓ Pros
- Exceptional torque for climbs and cargo
- Battery endurance under heavy throttle
- Genuine off-road capability
- Often discounted $400+ below list
✗ Cons
- ~90 lb — needs ground-floor storage
- More involved assembly than average
- QC inconsistencies reported — inspect on arrival
- Above street-legal speed limits in most regions

Power & Ride
With both motors engaged, owners describe hill performance as the S8's defining trait — steep grades that force single-motor fat bikes to crawl are handled without drama. On flat pavement the second motor is mostly unnecessary; running single-motor mode extends range significantly and is how most owners ride day to day.
Range in the Real World
The 70–75 mile rating assumes gentle single-motor riding. Expect roughly 35–50 miles of mixed dual-motor use — still strong for the class, thanks to the 25Ah pack. Cold weather and sustained top-speed runs will pull that lower.

What owners criticize
- At ~90 lb it needs ground-floor storage
- Assembly is the hardest in the lineup
- QC varies — check spokes, brakes, connectors on arrival
What to Check on Arrival
- Brake alignment and lever feel — adjust before the first real ride

🏆 Verdict: Unmatched Power Per Dollar
If you have hills, trails, or cargo — and somewhere to store 90 lb of bike — the S8 delivers performance that costs roughly double elsewhere. Check the current discount before deciding; it regularly sells well below the $1,599 list price.
