OUXI GT-24 at Fatbikeskopen.nl

The OUXI GT-24 is the largest model in the GT range: it has the same motocross-bike shape as the GT-20, but with 24-inch wheels and an 85-centimeter frame. That makes it suitable for riders who feel cramped on a 20-inch model. Larger wheels also roll more easily and handle bumps better. You also get front and rear suspension, hydraulic brakes, and walk assist. Below are the things you need to know before ordering.

What 24-inch wheels change

Compared with the usual 20-inch wheels, the GT-24 rolls more efficiently over longer distances and handles bumps and tram tracks more smoothly. You also sit higher and more upright, which is more comfortable on longer rides. The trade-off is maneuverability: turning in a narrow street requires more space, and the bike feels cumbersome when maneuvering in a crowded bike storage area. For most people, the riding comfort is more important, especially if you regularly ride more than a few kilometers. What seems minor on paper is often noticeable on the road.

Is the GT-24 legal in the Netherlands?

Yes. The motor is 250 W, assistance stops at 25 kilometers per hour, and the bike will not move without pedaling. This makes it a regular electric bicycle: no license plate, no driver's license, and no helmet requirement. The fact that the GT range also includes a more powerful model intended for use on private property does not change this; this is a different model. If you increase its speed, it falls into a different category, you will be breaking the law, and your warranty will be void.

Range and charging

The 48 V, 15 amp-hour battery, with a total capacity of 720 watt-hours, provides an advertised range of approximately 65 kilometers. That figure is based on average assistance on flat terrain. If two people ride it or you always use the highest setting, you will get less range; carrying an additional 40 kilograms naturally requires more power. Charging takes approximately four hours, which is quick for this capacity and means you can top it up during the day without having to plan for an entire night. The stated range is always a test value, so expect somewhat less in practice.

Walk Assist and the NFC Display

With Walk Assist, the motor moves the bike forward at up to 6 kilometers per hour while you walk beside it. This is permitted under Dutch regulations because above that speed you have to pedal yourself. At 40 kilograms, it is far from a luxury: maneuvering up a driveway or out of a crowded bike storage area takes no effort. The LCD display shows your speed, assistance level, and battery level, while unlocking is done with an NFC card instead of a key. The brake pads and discs use standard sizes, so they can be replaced at any service point.

Who Is the OUXI GT-24 For?

The recommended height is approximately 1.50 to 1.85 meters, and the bike is approved for two people with a combined total weight of up to 150 kilograms. The step-over is high, so you need to swing your leg over the frame. Keep in mind that you cannot carry 40 kilograms up a flight of stairs, so the bike should be stored downstairs. If you are looking for maximum maneuverability in a busy city center, the GT-20 with its smaller wheels is more practical than this model. For commuting within built-up areas, this equipment is more than sufficient.
