The Haoqi Mustang pairs a powerful Bafang mid-drive motor rated 500W and 130Nm torque with a throttle and full-suspension chassis. The frame geometry and suspension bias toward XC and light trail riding while remaining practical for commuting with added accessories. The bike ships with a 720Wh Samsung battery, 9-speed Shimano CUES derailleur, Suntour fork, and Gemma hydraulic brakes. Testing showed strong climbing speed and better-than-expected range for the motor's output. Primary compromises include a one-size-fits-all frame that favors smaller riders and limited motor tuning options, resulting in a punchy, less customizable power delivery.
So where does it "go small"? Despite its feature-rich build, the Mustang remains remarkably affordable in today's e-bike market, with a price tag of around $2,000. That price usually means compromises, but the Mustang surprises with more name-brand componentry than we'd expected to find: a 720Wh battery with Samsung cells, a 9-speed Shimano CUES derailleur, a Suntour suspension fork, and quality Gemma hydraulic brakes.
Testing performance was another pleasant surprise. The Mustang was one of the faster climbers we've tested in this category, and its range exceeded expectations, given the considerable power the motor produces. The shortcomings are the usual ones for this price: the one-size-fits-all frame skews toward smaller riders, and while the motor's power delivery is solid, it lacks fine-tuning options for rider customization, offering more appeal to those who prefer their e-bikes to be punchy.
