Some e-bikes feel quick. The movcan v30 pro max feels like it’s hiding a turbo button, because it kind of is. This is a 20×4, moped-style rig with dual hub motors, dual batteries, and an orange switch that turns polite pedal assist into “give me everything” mode.
First look: moped-style beast that moves
The headline feature is simple and ridiculous in the best way: “If they made a NOS button on an ebike, this is it.” The bike runs a rear motor normally, then that switch brings the front motor into the party with a totally different attitude.
Quick spec hits from the ride:
- Dual 1,500 W hub motors (front and rear), stated peak around 2,000 W
- Dual 960 Wh batteries (20 Ah each)
- 20×4 Compass tires
- Logan dual-piston hydraulic brakes with 160 mm rotors

Squishy seat that feels like a sofa
The seat is the surprise hero. It’s wide, soft, and has that “I could sit here for a while” feel. At 6’1″ and around 250 lb, it still feels good, even if it can bottom out a bit under heavier weight.
The best part is the vibe: it’s closer to a small motorcycle seat than a bike saddle. The reviewer even calls out other brands for painful seats (the “waffle iron” comparison is dead accurate if you’ve suffered through one). Also, the seatpost stays put, no annoying wobble.
Goofy BMX-style handlebars (and they actually work)
The bars have a BMX throwback look with an extra cross rail, which is handy if you want to mount accessories. It also helps sell that mini-moto posture, especially for people who want a moped-style e-bike that feels stable and planted.
Other comfort touches show up all over:
- Rubber grips with a palm rest
- A “gas tank” battery shape that doesn’t rub your knees when pedaling
- A half-twist throttle that’s easy to feather for small speed changes
Controls and display breakdown
Left-side control cluster
This bar is busy, in a good way:
- Orange “NOS” switch: activates the front drive, and acts like an override that blows past normal pedal assist limits
- Rear blinkers: sequential signals in the back (nothing up front)
- Horn: described as sounding like a vintage 1970s moped
- Headlight: the ring is on by default, and a button kicks on the brighter forward beam
Display features
The display shows speed, pedal assist level, trip, and total odometer. Tap the power button to cycle to average speed and max speed.
The cadence-based pedal assist is controlled with up/down buttons, and you also get a 7-speed shifter plus the half-twist throttle. The screen visibility is interesting too: it can look almost non-color until sunlight hits it.
Power and motors: dual 1,500 W punch (plus the “NOS” behavior)
Here’s the quirky part. The front motor can’t just be “normally on” from a menu setting. It’s tied to that switch.
And once it’s activated and you start pedaling, the bike basically says: cool story about your pedal assist settings, anyway here’s full power.
A simple way to think about it:
- Ride normally on the rear motor with pedal assist levels limiting speed and throttle.
- Hit the orange switch.
- Start pedaling (or even throttle in low PAS), and it overrides the usual caps.
The reviewer recommends using both motors when you can, because spreading the load across two motors beats hammering one motor all day.
Suspension, tires, and braking (the safety stuff matters)
Front suspension is non-adjustable with 80 mm of travel. Rear suspension is about 15 mm of travel; you can adjust sag with a shock wrench, but it’s basically “this is what you get” out of the box.
Tires are Compass 20×4 fat tires, and the bike feels surprisingly maneuverable for a chunky, moped-style setup.
Brakes are a standout: Logan dual-piston hydraulic brakes with 160 mm rotors front and rear. The stopping power is described as intense, and the wheels will lock up in a panic stop. That’s a preference thing, but if you’ve ever used weak, linked systems, you understand why strong independent braking feels like a relief.
Batteries, charging, and real range expectations
The batteries look different, but they’re the same size: 960 Wh, 20 Ah each, for a combined dual-battery setup. You get two 2A chargers, and charge time is estimated at about 10 hours from dead to full.
Claimed range mentioned in the ride is 75 miles with dual battery (and a higher claim of 120 miles in pedal assist). Real talk from the video: if you ride throttle-only and don’t help at all, cut claims roughly in half. Rider weight, wind, and terrain will move the number a lot.
Pedal assist levels tested
This bike uses a cadence sensor, so effort doesn’t change output much. Pedal assist level mostly sets your speed ceiling and your throttle ceiling.
| PAS level | Observed behavior in the ride |
|---|---|
| PAS 1 | About 9 mph |
| PAS 2 | About 14 mph |
| PAS 3 | Caps around 20 mph |
| PAS 4 | Around 28 mph shown |
| PAS 5 | Cruise feature can activate after holding throttle 10 to 15 seconds |
Cruise here isn’t “hold 22 mph no matter what.” It’s more like “hold max throttle output for that PAS.”
Final thoughts: who this bike is for (and the price question)
The ride impression is clear: it’s fast, comfortable, and fun in that “mini motorcycle” way. Speed readings flashed as high as the mid-30s to 40 mph range on the display with the override on, but the rider questions the accuracy in the moment.
Price is also time-sensitive. In the ride, it’s called out around $1,500, even though the video title frames it as “under $1300.” Either way, the take is the same: for the money, the power and comfort are hard to ignore.
If you had this bike in your garage, would you leave the “NOS” switch on all the time, or only hit it when you want that extra shove? That orange button is the whole personality.
