Performance Insights
The Happyrun Tank G100 operates in “off-road” mode by default, allowing speeds that exceed legal limits in many areas. While it accelerates well up to about 20 mph, reaching top speed requires patience with throttle control.
- Legal Considerations: It can be limited to Class 3 operation but defaults to higher speeds without restrictions.
Riders should be cautious about local laws regarding e-bikes.
Riding experience
Riding the G100 feels surprisingly like being on a motorcycle due to its design and handling characteristics. However, its suspension may not provide the smoothest ride on rough terrain.
- Suspension Quality: Acceptable but could use enhancement; off-road riding can led to discomfort due to inadequate shock absorption.
Despite these issues, many will find joy in its unique riding experience.

While fun to ride, it’s essential to note that many components are basic:
- Tires are standard Chao Yang models.
- Brakes are functional but not high-end.
At $1,699 price point, expectations for premium parts should be tempered.
