As a lightweight city e-bike, I found the Flint Pro to be nimble, straightforward, and approachable.
Mokwheel offers just a single frame size intended for riders between 5’5” and 6’7”. As such, it’s best-suited for riders of average to tall height; those on the shorter end of the spectrum may need to consider other models in the company’s lineup, such as the Asphalt ST.
The Flint Pro is, however, available in two configurations. We tested the high-step model, which includes a traditional diamond frame, a rigid aluminum fork, and low-rise handlebars. A more comfort-oriented step-thru (ST) model is also available, which includes a 65mm suspension fork, swept-back cruiser-style handlebars, and a 17” standover height.
As a 5’11” rider, I found the HS model to be comfortable and sporty, with a somewhat stretched out, forward-leaning riding position. The seatpost gave me enough room for efficient pedaling and full leg extension, while the adjustable stem allowed me to set my preferred handlebar height. Soft rubber grips helped absorb vibrations and impacts.
The Flint Pro’s ride is agile and spirited, with quick handling and great maneuverability. Its 700c x 45mm tires provide good traction and stability; they can also serve to smooth bumps when their pressure is reduced. The bike’s 40-lb total weight makes it fun to ride and easy to carry up a flight of stairs, bring on public transit, or lift onto a vehicle rack.
I was impressed with how well-equipped the bike was for its sub-$1,500 price. The Gates CDN belt drive is long lasting, with an expected lifespan twice that of a chain. It also requires no lubrication and allows for smooth, quiet pedaling. Additionally, the Flint Pro includes fenders, lights, and a cargo rack rated for up to 33 lbs, and comes in four color options (technically 8 when considering the ST model).
As I touched on in the introduction to this review, the Flint Pro’s simplicity is one of its best features; it’s a great option for riders seeking a straightforward e-bike that is uncomplicated by too many buttons, settings, and features.
Its responsive motor output is also worth touching back on. Having tested many of Mokwheel’s e-bikes, I can attest that the Flint Pro is one of the most natural-feeling models from the brand. For those seeking a stripped-down, active, and comfortable city e-bike, it delivers great overall ride quality.
