PUJH PU366 Riding Experience: Testing a 6000W Off-Road Ebike on Steep Trail
The frost was still heavy at the trailhead this morning, but my adrenaline was already spiking. At this moment I leaning against the tailgate wasn't just another off-the-shelf pedal-assist; it was the PU366, the flagship high-performance all terrain electric mountain bike headlining the PUJH PU3 series. For years I've been searching for the perfect all-terrain e-bike, one that combines the agility of a traditional mountain bike with the power of an off-road e-motorcycle. After carefully examining the PU366's aggressive specifications: dual hub motors with a peak power of up to 6000 watts; 26-inch fat all-terrain tires for excellent grip; and 200 Nm of torque to conquer any steep incline, I knew I had found what I'd been looking for.
The PU366 poised for action on all kinds of terrain.
1. AWD Dynamics: Putting 6000W Peak Output Power to the Dirt
First, insert the key into the keyhole. With the power on, press and hold the power button on the handle for 5 seconds to start the device. the PU366’s display instantly booted up, breathing life into the heavy artillery hidden within the wheel hubs. The core secret of this build isn't just raw wattage—it’s how that power meets the ground through a true dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup.
"When you have an active front hub pulling you through loose gravel while the rear motor pushes, steep gradients almost stop mattering. It flattens the trail."
Running twin 1,500W hub brushless motors front and rear, the PU366 packs a combined 6000W Peak Output Power of brute force. On paved city streets, a 6000W Peak Output Power is little more than a spec-sheet flex; but out here on a loose gravel incline, it is absolute dominance.
Rolling onto the pedal, the power delivery is instantaneous. Forget the polite, gradual pedal-assist you get from standard single-motor setups. The PU366 launches with an aggressive, linear torque curve that immediately pins you to the saddle.
To verify the climbing ability of PU366.I pointed the front tire at a brutal 30-degree dirt wash.Standard single-motor electric bicycles, which rely solely on front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, often struggle on such steep and soft terrain—as the center of gravity shifts rearward, the front becomes lighter, and the rear wheel is prone to slipping or spinning in the mud.I couldn't help but wonder how the PU366 could have such problems on such a steep and muddy slope. The result was unexpected.
The PU366 bypasses that traction loss entirely. The throttle mapping is highly aggressive; instead of the gradual assist you expect from a typical commuter electric bike, it delivers immediate, raw torque to both axles. As the rear tire dug into the soft dirt looking for grip, the front motor actively pulled the chassis up and over the ridge.
It effectively mimics a 4x4 rock-crawling experience on two wheels. The synchronized front-and-rear pull kept the chassis completely stable, translating all that high-wattage power directly into forward momentum and making a grueling climb feel remarkably flat.

2. Pushing the Limits on Hardpack: A True Off-Road Top Speed Test
Cresting the summit, the terrain finally opened up into a wide, hard-packed fire road—the exact kind of proving ground you need to safely test a high-performance e-bike's top-end capabilities. In my opinion, unpaved roads with various complex terrains can better demonstrate the motor power output tuning, controller efficiency, and frame geometry of a high-performance electric bicycle.
Relying strictly on the throttle to bypass the pedal-assist and isolate the motor's raw output, I pinned it. The power delivery was immediate. The LCD display climbed aggressively: 20, 25, 30... eventually plateauing right around 34 mph (55 km/h). While hitting 34 mph might feel predictable on a smooth, freshly paved road, carrying that kind of momentum over washboard dirt and uneven gravel completely rewrites the physics of the ride. At this velocity, you aren't just rolling over the trail; you are actively managing it. The ride immediately tests the structural rigidity of the frame, the rebound damping of the suspension fork, and the grip of the tire's shoulder lugs.
As the tree lines at the edge of my vision blurred, the PU366's suspension system worked tirelessly to absorb the impact of the bumpy road. At this moment, I clearly felt that the difference between an electric mountain bike and a lightweight electric off-road motorcycle had completely disappeared. The dry and monotonous peak power and torque parameters on the spec sheet, which I used to find dull and monotonous, now felt so intuitive to me for the first time. Especially when I actually felt the aggressive throttle response pulling me out of the dusty straight road, it was a completely different experience.
At this point, the power output and handling characteristics had already surpassed those of a traditional electric bicycle and had fully entered the realm of electric motorcycles, requiring an active forward lean, sharp reactions, and absolute trust in the braking power of the hydraulic disc brakes. But it also possessed a lightness and agility that electric motorcycles lacked.
Riding swiftly through forest trails.
3. Handling Dynamics: Reining in the PU366
Raw power on an e-bike is a liability if you don't have the hardware to control it. Pushing the PU366 toward the 30 mph (50 km/h) mark on loose terrain really highlighted the thought put into its handling geometry and component spec.
Coming in hot to a sharp, rock-strewn corner, I had to get on the brakes aggressively. Instead of the skittish lock-up you often experience with heavier fat-tire bikes, the PU366’s dual hydraulic disc brakes delivered immediate stopping power with incredibly predictable modulation. You can easily feel the bite point, allowing you to feather the levers and scrub off speed right at the threshold of traction before diving into the apex.
But braking is only half the equation; cornering confidence comes down to how well the bike stays planted. The PU366 pairs a full front-and-rear suspension setup with high-volume 24" x 4.0" off-road fat tires. By running the tires at a slightly lower PSI to maximize the contact patch, the bike easily swallowed up trail chatter. When plowing over exposed roots and jagged rock gardens, the suspension linkage soaked up the harsh, high-frequency hits that typically fatigue your wrists and lower back. It provides a highly compliant ride—It gives you a riding experience that feels like riding on flat ground even on bumpy roads—without totally isolating you from the tactile feedback you need to read the trail.
Conquering rocky terrain with ease.
4. The Verdict: The PU366 Redefines the Dual-Motor Off-Road Experience
After putting the PU366 through a grueling two-hour, mud-heavy trail session, the bike came back completely caked—but the battery wasn't even sweating. Real-world testing is where many off-road e-bikes fall short of their spec sheets, but the 60V/20Ah (1,200Wh) high-capacity pack held up exceptionally well under heavy load. The voltage drop was minimal, confirming that the manufacturer’s claimed 35 to 100-mile long range is a highly realistic baseline rather than just a perfect-condition lab metric.
Ultimately, calling the PU366 a standard "all terrain off-road electric bicycle" feels like a massive understatement. It rides like a highly engineered trail weapon built to aggressively expand your backcountry exploration radius. In particular, the following points made me feel that it is what makes the on-trail dynamics stand out:
-
AWD Traction Control: The synchronized dual-motor drivetrain keeps the front wheel tracking straight in loose dirt and thick mud, where a standard rear-hub motor would easily wash out.
-
Electric Dirt Bike Torque Meets MTB Agility: It successfully bridges the gap between the nimble handling of a traditional mountain bike and the raw, torque-heavy punch of a light electric dirt bike.
-
Efficient Power Management: The controller handles sustained high-amp output without thermal throttling, even when pushing through heavy resistance like deep ruts and inclines.
If you're tired of the lack of power in ordinary road commuting e-bikes and the uncontrollable bulkiness of high-torque e-motorcycles, Therefore you want a rig that can handle serious off-grid abuse, this dual-motor all terrain electric bicycle build deserves a spot on your shortlist. It’s not just about going for a ride; it’s about conquering whatever terrain you point the tires at.
