X1S

The Macfox X1S is an affordable, entry-level entry into the popular retro, mini-moto style scrambler market. If the Macfox X7 is the heavy-duty, high-carbon steel tank of the family, the X1S is the lighter, bare-bones neighborhood brawler. Stripping away complex gears and massive frame sizes, it delivers a clean, "twist-and-go" moped experience modeled after vintage dirt bikes.

It is highly popular with teenagers, beach cruisers, and campus commuters who want a stylish, low-maintenance aesthetic inspired by brands like Super73, but without the premium price tag.

The Technical Snapshot

• Power & Single-Speed Simplicity: Driven by a 500W nominal rear hub motor that peaks out at 750W and provides a modest 65Nm of torque. To keep things completely foolproof, it utilizes a single-speed drivetrain—meaning there are no mechanical gears, shifters, or delicate derailleurs to get damaged if the bike gets knocked over.
• Speed & Real-World Pace: Configured out of the box as a Class 2 street e-bike capping at 20 mph, but can be unlocked via the display settings to reach a top speed of 25 mph. It is controlled via an ergonomic thumb throttle and 3 basic pedal assist levels (Eco, Mid, High).
• Battery & Dual Options: The standard model runs on a removable 48V 10.4Ah (500Wh) battery mounted directly beneath the seat, yielding a real-world range of 25 to 38 miles depending on how aggressively you throttle. It is heavily advertised with a Dual Battery model option, which mounts a secondary fuel tank to effectively double your range up to 56 to 76 miles.
• The Moto-Style Ride & Stance: Rolls on high-volume 20x4.0-inch fat knobby tires paired with a front suspension fork to absorb sidewalk cracks and smooth gravel paths. It features a long, 24-inch motorcycle-style PU memory foam bench seat that is incredibly comfortable, though it has a fixed 33-inch seat height that cannot be adjusted up or down.
• Brakes & Bare-Bones Hardware: To hit its budget-friendly price point, the base X1S relies on standard cable-actuated mechanical disc brakes. While they offer plenty of stopping power for a 65-pound bike, they require more frequent manual pad adjustments than hydraulic systems.
• The "Bs.zay" Special Edition Twist: Macfox frequently features a limited-edition collaboration variant called the X1S x Bs.zay. This upgraded version ditches the stealth-black look for a striking custom purple-and-white paint scheme, a gold chain, a retro shield-style front headlight, optional stunt footpegs, and upgraded hydraulic brakes.

The Ergonomic Warning: Because the long bench saddle is bolted at a fixed 33-inch height, pedaling it like a traditional bicycle can feel awkward for taller riders. The X1S is best tailored for riders between 5'3" and 5'11" who intend to treat it primarily like a light electric moped, letting the throttle do the majority of the legwork.
