The Puckipuppy Labrador Pro is a full-suspension E-bike for everyone [Video]

There are plenty of electric fat tire bikes on the market these days, but few feel as purpose-built and refined as the Puckipuppy Labrador Pro. While the name might sound like a friendly pooch, don’t let it fool you… this is a serious all-terrain machine with enough power to rip through sand, snow, or steep trails. Plus, if it can do all that, it can surely handle your commute, too!

Built for the wild (and the wild commute)

Right out of the gate, the Puckipuppy Labrador Pro feels like it’s aimed at a very specific type of rider – someone who wants the capability of an electric mountain bike, the stability of a fat tire cruiser, and the commuting chops of a Class 3 bike built for the streets.

That hybrid identity is reflected in the bike’s rugged 6061 aluminum frame, which includes internal cable routing for a clean look and a removable 48V 20Ah lithium-ion battery nestled into the downtube. The battery is locking and removable, offering a massive 960Wh of capacity. It claims up to 80 miles of range per charge under optimal conditions.

That’s quite respectable for a nearly 1 kWh battery powering a peak 1,350W hub motor!

Custom-motor muscle with real torque

Puckipuppy’s Labrador Pro isn’t running just any hub motor. This one’s a custom PUCKIPUPPY-branded unit, and it cranks out a claimed 1,350W of peak power. In addition to an extra helping of wattage, this thing delivers serious torque, and it delivers it instantly.

Thanks to the smart torque sensor, the motor responds immediately to how hard you’re pedaling. You don’t get that jarring “kick” from cadence-sensor bikes. Instead, the assist feels intuitive and fluid, even when climbing steep dirt paths or rolling over beach dunes.

It’s the kind of responsive pedaling experience that makes you forget you’re even riding an electric bike, at least until you realize you’re doing a solid 25 mph while barely breaking a sweat.

Suspension and traction dialed in

One of the standout features of the Labrador Pro is its full-suspension setup, which instantly sets it apart from most fat tire e-bikes in this price range. Up front, you’ve got a sturdy hydraulic suspension fork with 130mm of travel, while the rear features its own shock that smooths out bumps, roots, and rough terrain. Whether rolling over rocky trails or dropping curbs in the city, the dual suspension keeps the ride comfortable and under control.

That plush suspension pairs perfectly with the bike’s 26” x 4” all-terrain fat tires, which offer a massive contact patch and plenty of cushion. The bike can float over sand, gravel, and even loose pine-needle trails with zero drama. These tires aren’t limited to only off-road performance either. On pavement, they give the Labrador Pro a smooth, stable feel, especially when aired up to road pressure.

And when it comes time to slow things down, the 180mm hydraulic disc brakes give you reliable, confidence-inspiring stopping power, even on fast descents or in wet conditions.

Drivetrain and speed

Backing up the torque-heavy motor is a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, which shifts smoothly and gives you enough range to ride comfortably even without assist. That’s especially nice when your battery gets low, or when you want to dial down the motor to extend your range on a long ride.

The Labrador Pro is also a Class 3 e-bike, meaning it provides pedal assist up to 28 mph. There’s also a left-side thumb throttle that can get you moving without pedaling at all, and it’s zippy – topping out around 20 mph on throttle alone. Combined, these modes make the Labrador Pro equally useful as a car-replacing commuter or a weekend trail shredder.

Looks and utility of the Puckipuppy Labrador Pro

The Puckipuppy Labrador Pro comes in four different colors, though the orange option here is definitely the brightest and the most fun, at least in our opinion. No matter your color, the integrated headlight and rear brake light are a nice touch for safety to help you be seen, especially for early morning or dusk rides.

It also includes front and rear fenders, which help when you’re splashing through mud or wet pavement, and a heavy-duty rear cargo rack. Plus, the bike supports up to 400 lb of payload. That makes this bike more than just a toy – it’s also a workhorse capable of hauling groceries, gear, or just about anything you can throw at it.

The full-color LCD display mounted on the handlebars gives you real-time readouts of speed, battery level, distance, and assist level. The control pad on the left is intuitive, and gives you all the info you need at a glance.

Final thoughts on the Puckipuppy Labrador Pro

The Puckipuppy Labrador Pro is a seriously capable all-terrain e-bike with great specs at a competitive price of just $1,599. For riders who want a go-anywhere, do-anything machine with torque-sensing pedal assist, fat tires, and real power under the hood, this is a compelling option.

It’s not the cheapest fat tire e-bike out there, but you don’t want the cheapest bike when you’re barrelling down a rocky trail. And when you consider the powerful motor, torque sensor, 960Wh battery, hydraulic brakes, and full commuter-ready features like fenders and a rack, it starts to look like a solid value.

Whether you’re carving through mountain trails, powering across sandy beaches, or just blasting past traffic on your way to work, the Labrador Pro brings its A game every time.
