Qiolor Tiger vs. Tiger Plus: Which E-Bike Suits Your Needs Best?

The Qiolor Tiger series features two impressive models: the Qiolor Tiger and the Qiolor Tiger Plus. Designed for cruiser riders and off-road enthusiasts, these two moped style electric bikes strike the perfect balance between urban commuting and off-road adventure. These bikes combine the comfort of an urban cruiser with the functionality of a mountain bike to create an all-around versatile bike that is suitable for a wide range of riders. Let’s take a deeper look at the specifics of each model.

Qiolor Tiger Review

Battery Options:

  • 15Ah Battery: Provides up to 60 miles range.
  • 35Ah Battery: Offers up to 130 miles range.
  • Charging Time: Approximately 4-6 hours.

Motor and Speed:

  • 750W Brushless Motor: Peak power of 1100W.
  • Top Speed: Up to 26 mph.

Qiolor Tiger Performance

Upgraded Motor

This bike features an upgraded 750W brushless geared hub motor. The motor’s inner ring is high-temperature resistant, enhancing heat dissipation. The ring reduces the attenuation speed of the motor magnets, increasing its durability and ensuring a longer lifespan.

The motor is powerful, providing a top speed of 26 mph through ebike pedal assist. The Tiger has five pedal assist modes, with each PAS level differing by 2.5 mph. In addition, the motor comes with a torque sensor that measures how hard you pedal, allowing the motor to adjust the power it provides, making it more efficient than previous models. The Qiolor Tiger’s motor delivers 86 Nm of torque, enough to propel the bike over hills without stalling or struggling.

The right side of the Qiolor Tiger handlebar features a half-twist throttle. By engaging the throttle, you can ride the e-bike without pedaling. This e-bike was tested on a 12% gradient bike path, and its climbing performance was excellent. On PAS 5, the top speed was 16 mph, and with just the throttle, the top speed was 13 mph. During testing, the bike maintained high speeds and is one of the sturdiest e-bikes on the market.

Battery

Qiolor equipped the Tiger with two battery options:

  • 15Ah Battery: Provides up to 60 miles range.
  • 35Ah Battery: Offers up to 130 miles range.
  • Charging Time: Approximately 4-6 hours.

The rechargeable high-capacity battery has a high energy density, making it ideal for the Tiger as it provides reliable performance over a wider range.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

We conducted brake tests to determine how quickly the Qiolor Tiger comes to a stop. This e-bike features dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes. The braking test involved accelerating the bike to 20 mph and then applying the brakes five times to determine the average stopping distance. Despite the Tiger’s weight, it performed well in the brake test, stopping at 12 feet 7 inches. This result places it among the top ten bikes tested similarly.

The braking performance makes it ideal for commuters using e-bikes in traffic. The high braking power comes from the combined weight of the bike and rider and the efficient hydraulic braking system. The fat tires also play a significant role, providing ample traction during braking, allowing the rider to stop quickly in emergencies.

Drivetrain

The Tiger features a fairly standard Shimano 7-speed drivetrain with an Altus rear derailleur and Tourney shifters. While the shifting performance is decent, the gear ratio doesn’t quite meet its speed requirements. Qiolor could improve the Tiger by providing a more effective gear system for a better experience.

Qiolor Tiger Design and Features

Frame and Geometry

Qiolor redesigned the Tiger’s frame, offering both step-thru and high-step versions. It features a rugged aluminum alloy frame suitable for riders between 5’1” and 6’4”. The geometry has been slightly modified, and the battery is removable. The bike’s rear end has more angled tubes designed to make it sturdier, enhancing the riding experience. It also comes with a heavy-duty aluminum kickstand to keep the bike balanced when parked, a comfortable SR saddle connected to a 30.9 * 350mm alloy seat post, and alloy pedals with reflectors.

400 lbs Load Capacity

One of the highlights of the Qiolor Tiger is its strong load capacity. The frame is robust, capable of handling a payload of 400 lbs (about 180 kg). While this bike is suitable for mountain biking adventures, it can also be easily used for long-distance commuting and even touring. The versatile frame has many mounts for saddlebags.

Suspension

The Tiger features a front suspension fork that absorbs impacts, reducing vibrations transmitted to the rider. This is advantageous for the Tiger as it is an all-terrain bike. Its fat tires also absorb shocks, providing a better riding experience. However, its performance is not as good as a dual suspension bike.

Wheels and Tires

The Tiger has 20″ x 4″ all-terrain fat tires, perfect for all-terrain riding. The rear wheel has 12-gauge spokes, and the front wheel has 13-gauge spokes. The tires provide ample traction when riding on rough, muddy, or snowy terrains. We do not recommend riding the e-bike on rocky terrain as it only has a front suspension, making it tricky to maneuver in turns.

Display

The Tiger features a standard black and white LCD display that provides important information such as:

  • Power
  • Mileage
  • Rider speed
  • Battery capacity
  • Pedal assist level
  • Range

You can also use the LCD display to charge your phone. Additionally, it features a standard cockpit with a 7-speed shifter and a twist throttle on the right side. Moreover, it comes with faux leather grips for a more comfortable hold.

Free Accessories

The Qiolor Tiger comes with free accessories, such as:

  • Full fenders
  • Rear rack
  • Repair tools

The fenders help protect you and your bike from tire spray when riding on muddy or wet terrains. You also get repair tools to replace parts and make repairs if your bike gets damaged.

Qiolor Tiger Review Conclusion

The Qiolor Tiger is one of the more affordable e-bikes on the market. Several factors contribute to its current status, including braking and climbing abilities. The impressive test results in these areas make it worth considering if you are looking for an affordable e-bike. Some issues, such as the original gear ratio and faux leather material on the handlebars, can be fixed. However, you must adapt to other issues, such as understeering. Whether to purchase the Tiger depends on what the buyer wants and if it meets all requirements.
