Meelod DK300 Max eBike Review: A Dual-Motor Powerhouse Built for Speed

If you’re looking for a high-performance, dual-motor eBike that delivers serious power and range, the Meelod DK300 Max might just blow your mind. This isn’t a budget bike—it’s a premium, feature-packed machine designed for riders who want raw speed, torque, and versatility without stepping into the €4000+ price range.

After spending time testing it, I can confidently say: this thing is insane. But it’s not without its quirks. Let’s dive in.

First Impressions: Built Like a Tank

The first thing you’ll notice about the Meelod DK300 Max is its sheer size. This isn’t your average fat tire eBike—it’s bigger, heavier, and thicker. Even the shipping box is enormous and incredibly heavy. Bring a friend for the unboxing—this thing is not a one-person job.

Fortunately, the setup is fairly straightforward. The only part that might throw you off is the front wheel’s unique torque arm design. It’s a clever solution to manage the front motor’s power, but the instructions don’t explain it well. Once you figure it out, though, it works brilliantly.

Performance That’ll Leave You Grinning

Here’s where things get crazy: this bike has dual 1200W peak motors—one in the front, one in the rear. That’s 2400 watts of peak power, and 160Nm of combined torque. For reference, most European eBikes top out at 250W.

Twist the throttle and the DK300 Max launches forward with authority. Acceleration is intense but surprisingly smooth. The handling is rock solid, and the fat 20x4-inch street tires grip the road beautifully, especially in corners and on rougher pavement.

The throttle, however, is a little too responsive at low speeds. Below 30 km/h, it can feel a bit twitchy. But to be fair, riding this bike slowly is a challenge in itself—it’s built to move fast.

Bold Styling, Unique Geometry

Design-wise, the DK300 Max looks aggressive and futuristic. It definitely turns heads. That said, it does have some unusual proportions. The long rear swingarm gives it a stretched-out look. It’s not a bad thing—just something you’ll notice right away.

Massive Dual Battery = Long Range

The DK300 Max comes equipped with two 48V 20Ah batteries, giving you a combined 1920Wh of energy capacity. That’s a huge amount of range potential.

Advertised range: 75–150 miles (120–240 km)
Realistic range: ~60 miles (100 km) on throttle-only
With pedal assist? You could push it significantly further.

It comes with a 4.5A charger and a splitter cable that lets you charge both batteries simultaneously. That’s a feature missing from many dual battery bikes. Charging time is around 8 hours, which is decent considering the size of the batteries.

What I Loved

✅ Beautiful LCD DisplayA crisp 2.4" color screen with a clean, modern UI. It looks and feels premium—way better than the clunky displays you find on most high-powered eBikes.

✅ Adjustable Motor ModesSwitch between rear, front, or dual-motor operation. Whether you want to conserve battery or go full beast mode, you’ve got options.

✅ Full Suspension ComfortFront and rear suspension plus big fat tires = a smooth, cushioned ride—even over potholes or cobblestones.

✅ Hydraulic Disc BrakesThese brakes are next level. Seriously powerful. You’ll want to go easy on them until you get used to the stopping power.

✅ Integrated Lights + Turn SignalsFront and rear lights + indicators give it a modern moped vibe—and make it safer for urban riding.

✅ IP65 Water ResistanceRide it in light rain or wet roads without worry.

What Could Be Better

⚠️ It’s HeavyThis is not a lightweight bike. You’ll feel every bit of its size when moving it around or lifting it.

⚠️ Throttle TuningThe throttle is a bit too sensitive at low speeds. A more progressive response curve would improve low-speed control.

⚠️ Basic GearingIt uses a Shimano 7-speed drivetrain, which feels under-geared at higher speeds. Pedaling over 30 km/h becomes a formality.

⚠️ Charging SpeedCharging both batteries from one splitter = half the charging rate per battery. It works, but it’s not fast.

Street Legal? Not Exactly.

In most of Europe—including the Netherlands—this bike is not street-legal out of the box. The throttle alone is a no-go, and the 2400W of peak motor power exceeds legal limits by a huge margin.

I still ride it on Dutch streets, but technically, that’s at your own risk. Fines or confiscation are possible. If you’re planning to use it legally, it would need to be registered as a moped or scooter—and even then, it might not meet local vehicle approval standards.

Final Verdict: Worth the Price?

The Meelod DK300 Max isn’t cheap. But for around €1700, it delivers premium-level performance that rivals bikes priced much higher. With dual motors, massive batteries, hydraulic brakes, and modern features, it’s a serious contender for riders who want top-tier performance without breaking into ultra-premium territory.

If you want a powerful, high-speed eBike for off-road or private road use—and you're okay with its size and street legality issues—the DK300 Max is absolutely worth a look.
