AVDL A13 16-Inch Fat Tire Electric Bike

The A13 makes most sense for a rider who wants a compact wheelbase, a saddle rather than a traditional high frame, removable-battery charging and pedal, pedal-assist, throttle and cruise modes listed by AVDL. It is a weaker fit for frequent stair carrying, anyone who needs a verified whole-bike certification claim, or anyone who has not confirmed the local rules for throttle-equipped e-bikes. Check stand-over reach, brake-lever reach, both feet at stops and the route before treating it as a teen or adult default.

AVDL's US page states a 500W motor and a maximum of 22 mph. That capability does not establish where the bike may legally ride: e-bike class definitions, throttle use, speed limits, age rules and trail access vary by jurisdiction and can be stricter than roadway rules. The A13's 16-inch wheels and low saddle create a compact profile, while the supplier lists front and rear suspension plus dual disc brakes. Start with a quiet, legal area and verify braking, steering, tire pressure, lights and controls before any longer ride.

The published battery is a removable 36V 12.8Ah lithium-ion pack, approximately 460Wh. AVDL states 20-45 miles with pedal assist and 13-20 miles in full-electric use, plus a 4-5 hour charge estimate. Treat those as optimistic planning bounds rather than a promised trip distance: hills, rider mass, cargo, wind, temperature, tires, speed and assistance mode all change the result. Use the supplied compatible charger, charge dry and attended, and follow the manual for battery handling. Terrain sets your real range. Flat-grid commutes in Phoenix, Miami, and Chicago reach the top of the claim. Hill routes in Seattle, San Francisco, or Pittsburgh land near the bottom.

The official US page lists dual disc brakes, a lockable suspension fork, lights and turn signals. AVDL does not publish a current whole-bike certification record for the A13, so this listing makes no UL or equivalent claim. AVDL supplied certificate files that StreetRides has not yet reviewed document by document, so this page makes no certification claim. Before riding, inspect brake operation, axle and fastener tightness, tire condition and pressure, battery latch, steering, lights and display. Wear appropriate protective gear and follow local law.

AVDL says the A13 arrives 95% assembled and supplies an English manual. Complete assembly carefully, use the stated torque and inspection guidance from the manual, and perform a low-speed check before putting a new rider on the bike. StreetRides shipping, return and warranty policies govern this order. The supplier's twelve-month statement is not rewritten here as a broader StreetRides promise. On 2026-08-25, AVDL confirmed in writing that Blue, Black, Pink and Orange are available from its US warehouse for single-unit US customer fulfilment. Inventory is set conservatively at two per color and must be reconfirmed before relying on it for a future order. Packaged carrier weight remains unpublished.

Current US-source highlights: 500W motor. Up to 22 mph manufacturer statement. Removable 36V 12.8Ah (460Wh) battery. 20-45 mile pedal-assist and 13-20 mile full-electric manufacturer range claims. 4-5 hour charge estimate. 16 x 3.0-inch tires. Front and rear suspension. Dual disc brakes. Pedal, pedal-assist, throttle and cruise modes. 265 lb (120 kg) maximum load. 61.7 lb (28 kg) listed bike weight. 56.1-inch listed length. And 60-75-inch recommended rider height. Supplier-confirmed US availability covers Blue, Black, Pink and Orange as of 2026-08-25. AVDL does not publish the packaged shipping weight, a per-color product code, or a certification record.

A13 is interesting if you value a compact 16-inch moped-style layout over the bulk of a 20-inch fat-tire bike. The strengths are a removable 460Wh battery, low saddle, listed 265 lb capacity and clear controls/lighting images. The tradeoffs are just as important: it is still a 61.7 lb listed bike, range is conditional, and certification scope is not yet source-verified. AVDL confirmed Blue, Black, Pink and Orange are available from its US warehouse on 2026-08-25. Availability can change, so StreetRides keeps a conservative quantity and confirms orders with the supplier.
