Ozark Trail M.3 Ranger+ Electric Fat Tire Bike, $672 (was $748)
Why do we like this deal?
As electric bikes continue to grow in popularity, an unexpected retailer has emerged as the best place to buy them: Walmart. However, the king of low prices has not only decided to offer a no-name e-bike for under $250, but it has actually entered the market with a fairly sophisticated model through its popular Ozark Trail line. This best-selling bike, which is now discounted by $672, proves that Walmart is more than worth the buzz when it comes to quality e-bikes.
The Ozark Trail M.3 Ranger+ Electric Fat Tire Bike is now $76 off. It’s a Class 2 bike, which means it’s legal to ride in a variety of locations (laws are governed at the state level), and it has the quality Ducati tooling you’d expect to see in a bike costing twice its price. More importantly, people have started to catch on. This bike has now earned “Bestseller” status on the Walmart site, and hundreds of bikes are being added to carts every day because it’s such a great value compared to the competition.

What shoppers need to know
- Motor: 500W electric
- Maximum Speed: 20 MPH
- Maximum travel distance: 20 miles
- Battery: 48V, 10.h ah
The styling here is somewhat similar to pro-grade bikes you may have heard of, something like the $1,999 Aventon Adventure 3 is a good point of comparison. Likewise, it will be capable of traversing sand and gravel as well as paved roads with 4-inch wide tyres, quality fenders and a rear cargo rack that gives you some more flexibility in use apart from just riding for fun.
Like other fat-tire e-bikes, it’s going to perform somewhat better on mixed terrain than slim-tire bikes, something that’s only enhanced by its alloy Crown suspension fork and Yamaha derailleur, which enable smoother gear transitions. The bike has front and rear braking, providing a controlled biking experience for all skill levels.
Finally, there’s a lot to be said for being a Level 2 bike instead of a Level 3. Higher level is not necessarily better. In today’s world, it will really depend on your local laws – you may be more personally restricted in your use of a higher level bike. So, enjoy better freedom here and still get a top speed of 20 MPH, not shabby at all.
