X1S Dual

The Macfox X1S Dual Battery model takes Macfox's incredibly popular, light-moped style neighborhood cruiser and pairs it with a massive capacity upgrade. The base X1S is loved for its light weight and nimble handling, but running an electric moped with thick 4-inch fat tires purely on throttle will chew through a single battery quickly.

By adding a second factory-matched battery pack, Macfox doubles the "fuel tank." This setup transforms a basic campus commuter into an all-day neighborhood brawler that completely eliminates range anxiety, allowing you to lean heavily on the twist throttle without fear of getting stranded.

The Technical Snapshot

• The Dual-Battery Capacity Upgrade: Links two removable, lockable 48V 10.4Ah packs to create a massive 998.4Wh (effectively 20.8Ah) dual-energy ecosystem. This intelligent management system effectively doubles your riding distance, expanding the manufacturer's range from 38 miles up to a substantial 76 miles (expect a highly realistic 40 to 45 miles of range if you are cruising full-throttle on Pedal Assist 3).
• Power & Twist-and-Go Performance: Driven by a snappy 500W nominal rear hub motor that peaks out at 750W and kicks out 65Nm of torque. Because it utilizes a single-speed mechanical drivetrain (no derailleur or shifters), there are no delicate mechanical gears to strip, skip, or smash when riding hard.
• Speed & Unlocking: Operates natively as a street-legal Class 2 bike capping at 20 mph, but can easily be unlocked via the backlit LCD screen dashboard to hit top speeds of 25 mph via the right-hand twist-throttle or 3 pedal assist levels.
• Compact Fat-Tire Stance: Rolls on high-volume, multi-surface 20x4.0-inch fat tires that cushion road vibration and provide stable grip across loose sand, gravel, and asphalt. A mechanical front suspension fork absorbs curb drops and pothole impacts.
• Brakes & Physical Build: Relying on a rigid, high-carbon steel chassis, it weighs a relatively light 72 pounds even with both batteries installed (gaining roughly 7 lbs over the single-battery version). Stopping power is handled by standard cable-actuated mechanical disc brakes clamping onto 160mm rotors.
• Fixed Moped Ergonomics: Features a classic 24-inch elongated motorcycle bench seat made of comfortable PU memory foam, locked at a fixed 33-inch seat height. It supports a total payload of 300 pounds (220-lb maximum single rider limit) and fits riders best from 5'3" to 5'11".

A Quick Buyer's Note on Retrofitting: If you buy the single-battery model now and decide to upgrade later, Macfox sells the official Dual Battery Upgrade Kit separately for $449. Just make sure to double-check your bike's connector block, as the upgrade kits come in 4-pin and 5-pin controller variations that are strictly not interchangeable.
