Admit it—when searching for an eBike that can adjust to your daily commute and weekend trail detour, for an eBike of that versatility and robustness, it can start feeling either underpowered to price or overpriced to your budget.
Introducing Jasion X-Hunter ST
This is no cheap eBike. This type of eBike is made with purpose. It features a 750-watt motor that powers to an impressive 1,400 watts, 20x4” go-anywhere fat tires, double suspension, holds 480 lbs with the ability to to fold.
I’m serious. You can easily fit a go-anywhere fat tire eBike to your trunk or rear storage area of your vehicle. You can even store the X-Hunter ST in the trunk of your car.
I took it to the city and suburb for a spin, also a few patches with mud that was a bit questionable to ride on, and it was rather impressive, though there were a few quirks that can easily make you chuckle, stare, or shift a bolt in the middle of your ride.
I will cover the good, the wild, and the “shouldn’t my seat be down there?” stretches.
First Impressions: Pretty Tough, Unbelievably Stable, and More Agility Than Expected
The X-Hunter ST is no junk. It's features and purpose are more than just shoddily glued together components.
The X-Hunter ST will easily and proudly display its 71 lbs.
It only takes around 20 seconds to fold it, and it goes from “beast on two wheels” to “fits behind your driver’s seat.”
I threw it in the back of my SUV and didn’t get any scratches after muddy rides. For people living in apartments, driving vans, or having limited garage space, this is a real game changer.
In terms of appearances, the bike takes on a clean, understated aggressiveness with a matte black frame, robust mag wheels, and just the right amount of visible fasteners to convince you that you’re riding something engineered rather than just something assembled.
The 480-pound weight limit is not just marketing speak. I stuffed it with groceries, a backpack, and a dog carrier and it didn’t get weighed down. This bike is robust!
Power and Performance: Just the Right Speed to Feel Free
The heart of this beast is a 750W rear hub motor that shoots to 1,400W with added resistance.
Jasion claims the bike can reach a top speed of 30 mph, and I almost got there. I reached 28.8 mph on flat terrain, with the throttle fully open and minimal pedaling.
I was most pleased by the way the pedal-assist system responds.
Most fully electric bikes blast you with power at a hint, unlike the cadence-sensor controlled X-Hunter ST.
If you’re in PAS Level 2 and barely pedaling, it matches that. Go to PAS 4, and yeah—it’ll push hard, but you still need to keep your legs moving (even if it’s just “ghost pedaling”).
To me, that’s a sign of thoughtful engineering. It keeps the ride feeling like a bike, not a moped with training wheels.
Now, full throttle? Absolutely smooth. The acceleration is quick without being jarring, and at speed, the bike feels stable—no wobble, no nervous twitching. You can actually lean into corners without second-guessing physics.
Brakes That Actually Stop You (Finally!)
Remember those old eBikes with spongy mechanical disc brakes that took half a block to slow down? Yeah, Jasion heard us.
The X-Hunter ST comes with upgraded hydraulic disc brakes—a major upgrade over the mechanical ones on the original X-Hunter.
I did a (very irresponsible, don’t try this) white-knuckle emergency stop from 28 mph… and it hauled itself down with zero fade, zero wobble. Just solid, predictable stopping power.
The difference? Night and day. Seriously—more companies need to stop skimping here. Speed is fun, but brakes save lives. Jasion gets that.
I still remember riding an eBike last year that took three tries to stop at a crosswalk.
Felt like pilotng a shopping cart downhill. Not cool.
Suspension & Ride Comfort: Smoother Than It Looks
Up front: a non-adjustable coil fork. In the rear: a four-bar “Horselink” hydraulic suspension.
Now, I’m 6’1” and 250 lbs—hardly a light rider—and neither end bottomed out, even over potholes and speed bumps. The rear suspension especially soaks up chatter like a champ.
That said… there’s a catch.
The pedals sit low—really low. When you lean hard into a turn, the inside pedal drags on the pavement. It won’t flip you (unless you panic), but it will surprise you the first time.
Pro tip? Lift your inside foot mid-corner, like a cyclist would on a mountain bike. Once you get used to it, it’s no big deal. But new riders? Yeah, you’ll learn fast.
The Battery: Good—But Could Be Better
The X Hunter ST runs on a 48V, 13Ah (556Wh) battery. Jasion claims up to 71 miles of range.
Uh… sure.
In real-world testing—mix of throttle, PAS 312, 180-lb rider, slight headwinds—I’d estimate 35-45 miles before needing a recharge. If you stick and PAS 1 and pedal like your life depends on it? Maybe you hit 60.
But let’s be real: most of us aren’t racing Tour de France on these.
Instead of crossing counties, 40 miles is ideal if you need a balance between range and convenience.
To top it off, you get a 2A charger, which means it takes about 6-7 hours to fully charge. Not ideal if you are riding daily, but it is certainly manageable.
One criticism? For a bike of this size and power, a 700Wh+ battery would have been an impressive upgrade. I hope Jasion thinks about this in subsequent versions.
Moving on to the review:
During testing, the seat was shifting upward slowly and stealthily until it was up to a near-vertical position.
There was a moment in which I was standing on the pedals, using cruise control to ride, and thinking, “What am I supposed to do with my butt right now?”
This was caused by the seat post clamp not being tightened sufficiently during assembly.
Is it Jasion's problem? Not really—they send it out partially disassembled, which is expected for foldables, and the rider is supposed to secure it. But come on, check that bolt. Nothing like having your saddle turned into a back rest for your tailbone to ruin your day.
At one point, I joked it was going to give the impression of my ex if I kept riding like that.
Some reviews are technical. Mine? Sometimes therapeutic.
Foldability & Practicality: Built for Real Life
Here’s where the X-Hunter ST shines for urban riders: it folds.
Not some awkward “half-fold” that still takes up half your closet—no, this thing collapses cleanly at the stem and mid-frame. In under 30 seconds, it’s compact enough to store under a desk, stash in a camper, or haul onto public transit (if your local rules allow).
And despite the folding mechanism, the frame feels solid. No creaks, no flex, no “is this going to snap?” anxiety.
That said—it’s still 71 lbs. If you’re older or have back issues, lifting it into a truck bed might be a two-person job. Jasion isn’t marketing this as a senior mobility solution, and that’s fair. Know your limits.
Lighting & Extras: Thoughtful Touches
You get a bright LED headlight and a rear brake light that actually activates when you squeeze the levers—smart for night visibility.
There’s also an electronic horn (not the sad “beep-beep” kind) and a cruise control button.
Cruise control works by holding the throttle for a few seconds—handy for long stretches, but turn it off before hitting bumps (trust me).
The display? Basic but functional: speed, PAS level, battery %, odometer.
You don't need a smartphone dashboard to ride this thing.
Why I Actually Like This Company (No, Really)
Look—I’ve reviewed a lot of Jasion bikes. And yeah, some folks say, “Dude, you’re a shill.”
But here’s why I keep coming back:
They listen to feedback (hence the hydraulic brakes on this model). They actually answer their customer service line (try that with some big brands). They refresh models intelligently, not just slapping on new paint.
In fact, I liked them so much, I’m opening a shop down in Florida that’ll carry their lineup. Because in a market full of fly-by-night eBike brands, Jasion feels like they’re in it for the long haul.
Final Verdict: Who’s This For?
The Jasion X-Hunter ST isn’t perfect. The battery could be bigger. The seat clamp needs attention. The pedals drag in tight turns.
But for under $1,000, you’re getting a fast, durable, foldable fat-tire eBike that can:
- Haul serious weight.
- Handle rough roads, gravel, and light trails.
- Disappear into your car when not in use.
- Stop on a dime (thanks to those hydraulic brakes).
If you are a weekend adventurer or a daily commuter or a delivery rider looking for a reliable bike, you will find this one affordable for the purpose.
Just make sure to tighten the seat post. Seriously, do it twice.

The Bottom Line
Jasion X-Hunter ST is a sturdy, smart, and foldable eBike that is just right for the price. Most e-Bikes in the market are either too delicate or too pricey. Rugged and real, the X-Hunter is a perfect balance in everyday usability.
It won’t win any design awards, and it’s not glamorous. But you won’t care about that when you are speeding down a tree-lined path at 28 mph, feeling the wind in your face and the suspension soaking up every bump. And the best part? You can fold this bike and toss it in your trunk after work.
This is not just any form of transportation. It is the kind of transportation that gives you freedom.
So, this is an eBike worth your attention. Just… maybe, bring a wrench.
