Engwe models are also listed on Amazon US under the ENGWE brand.

Where it sells

Engwe sells its electric bikes, from folding fat-tire bikes to a moped-style model, in the US through its own online store, Engwe USA Official, which ships by FedEx Ground from US stock to the US and Canada.
The store names no legal entity behind its US sales.
Engwe also runs an offline flagship store in Temple City, California.
In January 2026 the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards reported a serious fire risk in the Engwe T14 sold there with a nonconforming plug.
Walmart lists Engwe e-bikes from the brand's own marketplace store, but no Engwe listing there reaches ten native unflagged reviews, and none of Best Buy, Target, Costco, Dick's Sporting Goods, REI, Home Depot or Lowe's sells them (October 2026).

It has Tektro dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, a 50 mm hydraulic lockout fork, no rear suspension, a switchable torque or cadence sensor and 20 x 4.0 in tires with a 3 mm anti-puncture layer. It weighs 75.4 lb, is rated for a 330 lb total load and has a 7-speed Shimano drivetrain.

The manual lists a 20 mph top speed and 65 miles of claimed range on the lowest assist level; the product page prints 28 mph. It comes with a throttle, a 3.5 in colour LCD with Bluetooth, an IoT module with GPS and 4G, a 30 lux headlight with horn, a brake light, a rear rack rated 55 lb, fenders and an 8 A charger.
