Tesway X5 AWD Review Canada (2026): Two Motors, a Step-Through, Range, Fit and Law, Computed

Cover: a Playcut.ai rendering made from Tesway's own photograph of the X5 AWD, with Zeus on a private ranch lane in the Alberta foothills. The 257 km at 25 km/h is our model's figure: throttle only, 80 kg rider, flat pavement, 25 °C.

By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014) · First published 18 February 2026, rebuilt 30 October 2026 · Tesway Canada's X5 AWD, X7 AWD and X7 Pro New pages, its warranty page and the X5/X7 AWD owner's manual, our listings and every provincial and territorial rule re-read on 30 October 2026 (Québec and Nunavut from dated copies where the site refused us); four recall registers searched the same day

The X5 AWD is Tesway's step-through twin of its X7 AWD: a hub motor in each wheel, rated by Tesway Canada at 2,000 W together, a 52 V 60 Ah battery and 20 × 4.0 inch Kenda tires. Every Tesway figure below was read on 30 October 2026 from Tesway Canada's product page, size drawing and warranty page and from the X5/X7 AWD owner's manual. Every range and fit figure is computed, with the method linked.

Who is the Tesway X5 AWD for?

Tesway sells the X5 AWD on tires it calls "All-Season Traction", while its own manual says the bike "is not intended to be used and stored at ambient temperatures less than 0°C". Buy a 54 kg two-motor bike for the wrong season, road or rider height, and $2,999 buys less riding than it should. This review measures the fit, reads the law in every province and territory, and computes the range for Canadian temperatures.

The X5 AWD suits a rider about 157 to 173 cm (5′2″ to 5′8″) who wants two motors and a 3,120 Wh pack without swinging a leg over a top tube. Tesway's drawing puts its standing height at 58 cm, and RedTail eBikes, our US sister store, measured the frame's lowest point at about 40 cm. It suits private land, farm lanes and trails whose managers allow a machine of its power, ridden above 0 °C.

It does not suit a rider who needs a bike for roads, bike lanes or paths: at 2,000 W it is outside every provincial e-bike rule, and our 500 W e-bikes are the place to start for those. Riders from about 183 cm (6′0″) should read the fit section first, and anyone who must carry a bike upstairs should note its 54 kg. The X7 AWD carries the same motors and pack on a step-over frame for $2,899.

What are the Tesway X5 AWD's specifications?

Tesway Canada's spec tab prints two motors rated at 2,000 W together with a 3,600 W peak and 200 N·m, a 52 V 60 Ah battery, four-piston hydraulic brakes, a hydraulic fork with rear spring suspension, 20 × 4.0 inch Kenda tires and 119 lb (54 kg). The table quotes Tesway Canada's wording, read on 30 October 2026, with what each line means.

Source: Tesway Canada's X5 AWD product page and size drawing, read 30 October 2026. The drawing adds a 160 to 196 cm rider window, 85 to 102 cm saddle heights, a 58 cm standing height and a 130 cm wheelbase.

Where Tesway's own figures differ

Tesway prints four figures two ways on the same page. The rotors are 230 mm in one spec group and 203 mm in another, and the page's brake paragraph says "4-piston hydraulic brakes with 203mm rotors". The top speed is 38 mph (61 km/h) in the spec tab and 60 km/h in the highlights; the payload is 400 lb (181 kg) in the spec tab and 180 kg in the highlights and on the drawing.

The fourth is charging: the manual says 6 hours from completely discharged, while a 60 Ah pack on the 8 A charger takes at least 7.5 hours of full current by our arithmetic. Plan on the stricter figure each time: 180 kg of rider and cargo, and an evening and a night to charge; and check the rotor on your own bike before you order brake parts.

Two motors or one: when all-wheel drive pays

On level pavement, two motors cost about the same battery energy as one; on a climb, they save it. In our model at a steady 25 km/h on the flat, one motor and two draw within 0.8% of each other, and up an 8% grade at 20 km/h two motors draw about 21.8% less, because in the model each motor then carries half the torque, which cuts the heat lost in its windings.

The manual says: "Press the Info key to switch between Single and Dual Drive modes." It does not say which motor drives in single mode, and Tesway does not publish how its controller shares torque between the two; the model splits it evenly. At walking pace with an 80 kg rider, one motor holds a grade of about 13.7% in our model and two about 29.6% (22.1% with 120 kg aboard). Those are torque limits; tire grip and balance on a steep, loose slope are not modelled.

Speed is the other half. In our model, on flat pavement with an 80 kg rider, two motors hold about 54 km/h at their rated power and 56 km/h at the 3,600 W peak, and one motor about 47 km/h. Tesway prints 60 and 61 km/h; the model's motor curve is a Bafang hub's scaled to Tesway's voltage and rating, so read our figure as an estimate.

How far does the Tesway X5 AWD go on one charge?

In our model, about 257 km at a steady 25 km/h on two motors, throttle only, with an 80 kg rider on flat pavement at 25 °C, and about 197 km at 32 km/h. The manual says to start charging below 20 percent; keep that last 20% and plan on 206 and 157 km. The table sets each speed against one motor and against pedalling easily.

Our model: RedTail eBikes' Tesway range physics with Tesway Canada's X5 AWD figures, 80 kg rider with gear, 54 kg bike, level pavement, still air, 25 °C, the full 3,120 Wh; in brackets, the 20% the manual says to keep. A computed estimate; the filmed rides below set it against the road.

Tesway prints up to 322 km (200 miles) on pedal assist and 290 km (180 miles) on the throttle, with no speed or rider weight. In our model, 320 km takes a steady 19 km/h on the throttle or 27 km/h while pedalling easily, and 290 km takes about 22 km/h on the throttle, all with an 80 kg rider on flat pavement. Read Tesway's figures as slow, level, warm riding.

Weight and hills cost range. In our model at 25 km/h on two motors, 80 kg aboard gives about 257 km, 120 kg about 230 km and 180 kg, the payload on Tesway's drawing, about 198 km. Each 100 metres of 8% climbing at 16 km/h costs about 64 Wh on two motors and 88 Wh on one, in our model.

Our model, each term computed rather than multiplied in: steady riding into and with the wind, the gravel share at a higher rolling resistance (Meyer and colleagues' 2016 ratios, a sensitivity), and the energy of each start from rest. One motor cannot hold the hard day's pace in the model.

Two filmed rides set the model against the road in RedTail's range method. An 82 kg (180 lb) rider's throttle test of an X5/X7 AWD on both motors covered 68 km (42 miles) to 41% on the display, a pace toward roughly 114 km (71 miles) if the gauge reads energy evenly, inside the model's 98 to 122 km (61 to 76 miles) at 45 to 51 km/h (28 to 32 mph). A loaded X7 AWD on a camping day stopped at 139 km (86.3 miles) with one bar showing, short of the model's steady rows.

The arithmetic, in our model, at 25 km/h (6.944 m/s) on two motors with 134.0 kg moving (an 80 kg rider and the 54 kg bike): rolling resistance takes 134.0 × 9.807 × 0.01054 × 6.944 = 96 W and the air takes ½ × 1.184 × 0.64 × 6.944³ = 127 W, so the wheels need 223 W.

In our model, the motors turn 0.758 of the battery's output into wheel power here, so the battery delivers 223 ÷ 0.758 = 294 W, and the pack's own losses (0.971) bring the draw on its cells to 294 ÷ 0.971 = 303 W. Then 303 ÷ 25 km/h = 12.12 Wh per km, and 3,120 Wh ÷ 12.12 = 257 km.

What do Canadian cold, charging and storage do to the X5 AWD?

Tesway's manual draws the line at 0 °C: "This equipment is not intended to be used and stored at ambient temperatures less than 0°C (32°F) or above ambient temperatures of 40°C (104°F)." For charging: "The battery is intended to be charged when the ambient temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F)." "Never charge the battery when ambient temperatures are outside this range." Tesway's product page calls the tires "All-Season Traction"; the manual's temperature limits are what this section plans to.

Our model, 80 kg rider, flat pavement, throttle only, the cells taken to be at air temperature. The central figure uses McMaster University's measured LG HG2 cell; the span, where cell sources disagree, brackets it with other published cell data, as RedTail's cold section does. Tesway's pages name no cell maker.

Inside the window, the figures stay workable: in our model about 221 km at 10 °C and 205 km at 0 °C, at 25 km/h on two motors, or 177 and 164 km keeping 20%. Below 0 °C you are outside the manual's window: at −10 °C our model gives between 90 and 186 km, depending on which cell data you trust. Ask us before you plan a winter on it.

For storage, the manual says: "If the battery will not be used for an extended period, charge it fully and recharge it every month." Bring the pack indoors to charge whenever the garage falls below 0 °C; our e-bike battery guide covers storage and charging habits, and see also our winter e-bike guide.

Will the Tesway X5 AWD fit you?

Probably, if you stand about 157 to 173 cm (5′2″ to 5′8″): in RedTail eBikes' measured fit count, the saddle reaches the fit formula's height for 91 or more of every 100 riders in that band, against Tesway's window of 160 to 196 cm. At 178 cm, 60 of 100 reach it, and at 188 cm only 2.

RedTail set each of the 6,068 bodies in the US Army's 2012 ANSUR II survey on the X5's geometry, with the saddle at 109% of inseam above the pedal (the formula and its sources). To use the table, measure your inseam: in socks, against a wall, with a hardback book pulled up snug, floor to the top of the book. Then read across your height.

RedTail eBikes' fit count, converted to centimetres (typical inseam = the 5th to the 95th percentile at that height): how many of 100 riders at each height have a 109% (and a lower 106%) saddle setting inside Tesway's 85 to 102 cm; Army survey bodies, men and women together. Source: RedTail's saddle table.

The top of the post matches 109% of an 86 cm inseam and 106% of an 89 cm one; past those the saddle stays at its limit and the knee bends deeper at the bottom of each stroke. At the short end, the lowest setting equals 109% of a 70 cm inseam, so riders near 157 cm should check their own inseam against it first. Tesway's window reaches 196 cm; RedTail's count does not support that top end.

Getting on and off is where the frame earns its place. Tesway's drawing labels 58 cm "Standing height", and RedTail measured the dip your foot passes over at about 40 cm on Tesway's photograph; at every printed height at least 95 of 100 riders clear the 58 cm figure by 13 cm or more (RedTail's step-over section). In the saddle, RedTail finds the median rider sitting 0 to 2 degrees off vertical and, with a relaxed back, the hands holding 5 to 7 percent of body weight (cockpit and hand-load sections).

On day one, raise the saddle until your heel rests on the pedal at its lowest point with that leg just straight; then ride and settle it where the knee keeps a slight bend (RedTail's setup steps). Caught between two rows, or taller than 178 cm? Call us with your height and inseam before you order.

Cargo, passengers and accessories on the X5 AWD

Tesway rates the X5 AWD for 181 kg (400 lb) in its spec tab and 180 kg in its highlights and drawing, rider and cargo together, and its rear shelf sits 74 cm off the ground on the drawing. Tesway's documents differ on passengers: it sells a passenger seat and child safety fences for this bike, while its manual says: "Your E-bike is designed for regular country road use for a single person."

Tesway's product pages, read 30 October 2026; each adds "Compatible with original TESWAY electric bikes only." Tesway's warranty excludes "Any products sold by Tesway that is not an ebike".

Before anyone rides along, call us at 1-866-938-7580: passenger rules differ by province, and our guide to e-bike laws in Canada sets them out. For a bike built around carrying, our cargo e-bike guide compares the alternatives, and our guide for heavier riders reads payload ratings the same way.

Is the Tesway X5 AWD street legal in Canada?

No province or territory lets the X5 AWD ride public roads, bike lanes or paths as an e-bike. Every provincial and territorial e-bike rule in the table below stops at 500 W, New Brunswick's registry guidance uses the same 500 W, and Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have no e-bike definition. Tesway Canada rates this bike's two motors at 2,000 W together.

Tesway and Zeus both list it as an e-bike, which is a shop category; where you may ride it is set by law. Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021 (SOR/2020-22; the regulation), so the rules are provincial and territorial.

Each row's words are quoted from the statute, regulation or regulator page linked in it. Read on 30 October 2026 except Québec (the SAAQ's pages as read on 28 and 29 October; the Internet Archive's June 2026 copies carry the same sentences) and Nunavut (its Act as read on 29 October). This table is a reading of the definitions, not legal advice.

Where no e-bike definition applies, a 2,000 W machine falls to each jurisdiction's motor-vehicle or off-road-vehicle rules. Ride it off public roads, where the landowner, trail authority or track sets access, and check the off-road vehicle rules where you ride. Our guide to e-bike laws in Canada carries the age, helmet and passenger rules the table leaves out, and our 500 W, 750 W and 1,000 W guide explains the power lines.

Is the Tesway X5 AWD UL certified, and has it been recalled?

Tesway says the system and the battery are certified, and no recall we could find names the bike: its X5 AWD page states that "The entire e-bike system is UL 2849 certified by TÜV, while the battery pack is UL 2271 certified", and the four registers below returned nothing for Tesway or the X5 AWD on 30 October 2026. UL 2849 covers e-bike electrical systems and UL 2271 covers light-electric-vehicle batteries (RedTail's UL section). If your building or insurer asks for the certificates, call us and we will ask Tesway for them in writing.

Searches: Health Canada, CPSC, UK OPSS, EU Safety Gate. Tesgo is the parent company Tesway's European About page names, per RedTail. Records the searches returned that name other makers' products (vehicle and appliance recalls, another brand's e-bike) were read and set aside. Australia's register refused our research browser and is not included.

Tesway X5 AWD vs X7 AWD vs X7 Pro New

The X5 AWD and the X7 AWD are one machine in two frames, and the X7 Pro New has one motor, a lighter frame and a lower price. Tesway's FAQ says the first two differ in "the exterior design of the frame" and that "Other functions are the same." In RedTail's fit counts, the X5 AWD's saddle reaches the formula height for more riders at 173 cm than either step-over.

Tesway Canada's pages and size drawings, read 30 October 2026; Zeus prices the same day. Range: our model on one set of assumptions (80 kg rider, flat pavement, 25 °C, throttle only, the full 3,120 Wh); the X7 Pro New figure is its own review's run of the same model (25 October), whose inputs Tesway's page still prints. Tesway prints the X7 Pro New's battery as 52 V 60 Ah on the variant and 48 V 60 Ah in the spec tab; the run uses 52 V. Fit: RedTail's count at the 109% saddle height.

Choose the X5 AWD for the low step and the two motors; choose the X7 AWD, $2,899, if you prefer a top tube and want the same drive for $100 less. Choose the X7 Pro New, $2,099, if one motor will do: it is 6 kg lighter on Tesway's figures and ships with a "Backed Seat" in the box, and our X7 Pro New review computes its range in full.

Who should buy the Tesway X5 AWD, and who should skip it?

Buy it if you stand about 157 to 173 cm (5′2″ to 5′8″), ride private land, farm lanes or trails that allow a machine of its power, and want two motors and a big pack on a frame you step through. Skip it if you need a bike for roads, bike lanes or paths, stand 183 cm (6′0″) or taller, must carry it upstairs, or ride below 0 °C.

That verdict is our opinion, formed from the facts above, and the facts are printed so you can reach your own.

Tesway X5 AWD questions, answered

How fast does the Tesway X5 AWD go?

Tesway Canada prints a top speed of 38 mph (61 km/h) in its spec tab, 60 km/h in its highlights and a "Default Speed" of 16 mph (26 km/h). In our model, on flat pavement with an 80 kg rider, the two motors hold about 54 km/h at their rated power and 56 km/h at the 3,600 W peak, and one motor about 47 km/h. Its motors already put it outside every provincial e-bike rule, as the law section shows.

How far can the Tesway X5 AWD go on one charge?

In our model, about 257 km at a steady 25 km/h on two motors, throttle only, with an 80 kg rider on flat pavement at 25 °C, or 206 km if you keep the last 20%, as the manual's charging advice implies. At 32 km/h the same model gives about 197 km. Tesway prints up to 320 km on pedal assist; in our model that distance takes a steady 19 km/h on the throttle or 27 km/h while pedalling easily. At 0 °C, the bottom of Tesway's battery window, our model gives about 205 km at 25 km/h.

Tesway X5 AWD vs X7 AWD: what is the difference?

The frame: Tesway's FAQ says the difference is "the exterior design of the frame", the X5 AWD a step-thru and the X7 AWD a step-over, and "Other functions are the same." Its drawings put the X5 AWD's standing height at 58 cm and the X7 AWD's at 62 cm. In RedTail eBikes' fit counts, the saddle reaches the formula height for 91 of 100 riders at 173 cm on the X5 AWD and 78 on the X7 AWD (RedTail's X7 AWD table). At Zeus the X5 AWD is $2,999 and the X7 AWD $2,899.

Can the Tesway X5 AWD run on one motor?

Yes. The manual says: "Press the Info key to switch between Single and Dual Drive modes." In our model, at a steady 25 km/h on level pavement one motor and two draw within 0.8% of each other; up an 8% grade at 20 km/h two motors draw about 21.8% less. At walking pace with an 80 kg rider, one motor holds a grade of about 13.7% and two about 29.6% in our model, a torque limit that leaves out tire grip.

Is the Tesway X5 AWD legal in Canada?

Not as an e-bike. Canada has had no federal e-bike definition since the federal power-assisted-bicycle definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021, so the rules are provincial and territorial, and the provincial e-bike rules converge on 500 W and 32 km/h of assisted speed. Tesway Canada rates the X5 AWD's two motors at 2,000 W together, so no province lets it ride roads, bike lanes or paths as an e-bike. Ride it where the landowner, trail authority or track allows a machine of its power, and check the off-road vehicle rules where you ride.

How much does the Tesway X5 AWD weigh?

Tesway Canada prints 119 lb (54 kg), of which the battery is 29.8 lb (13.5 kg); 119 minus 29.8 leaves 89.2 lb, about 40 kg, with the pack out (our arithmetic). Tesway rates the payload at 181 kg (400 lb) in its spec tab and 180 kg in its highlights and size drawing.

What battery does the Tesway X5 AWD use, and how long does it take to charge?

A 52 V 60 Ah pack, about 3,120 Wh by our arithmetic (52 × 60), weighing 29.8 lb (13.5 kg), with a 58.8 V 8 A charger, per Tesway Canada. The manual says: "If a battery is completely discharged, it will take 6 hours to be fully recharged." At the charger's 8 A, 60 Ah takes at least 7.5 hours of full current by our arithmetic, so plan on an evening and a night. The manual asks you to charge only between 0 and 40 °C and to start charging below 20 percent.

Can the Tesway X5 AWD carry a passenger?

Tesway's documents differ. Tesway lists a passenger seat and child safety fences for the X5 AWD, the fences designed for children 5 to 10, while its owner's manual says: "Your E-bike is designed for regular country road use for a single person." Call us at 1-866-938-7580 before anyone rides along, and see our guide to e-bike laws in Canada for the passenger rules that differ by province.

What accessories fit the Tesway X5 AWD?

Tesway's compatibility lists, read 30 October 2026, name the X5 AWD for the foldable platform ($89.99 at Zeus), the passenger seat ($69.99), the guardrail hanger ($169.99) and the child safety fence ($169; $319 with the hanger), although the X5 AWD's manual says the bike is designed "for a single person". Each list adds "Compatible with original TESWAY electric bikes only." Call us before you fit the passenger seat or the fences, and note that Tesway's warranty excludes "Any products sold by Tesway that is not an ebike".

Does the Tesway X5 AWD fold?

No. Tesway Canada calls it "The new non-foldable patented frame". With the 13.5 kg battery out it still weighs about 40 kg by our arithmetic, so plan ground-level storage or a ramp.

What warranty does the Tesway X5 AWD have?

Two years: Tesway Canada's warranty page covers "all manufacturing defects in material or workmanship for two (2) year after receipt of the ebike" on Canadian purchases, excluding wear parts such as tires, brake pads and chains. On bikes bought from us it is backed by Tesway in full, and we file and follow every claim. A badge on Tesway's product page reads "2-Year Warranty" over "Covers product defects or malfunctions for one year after purchase date", so call us if you want the terms confirmed in writing.

Is Tesway a good brand?

That is a judgment, so here are the facts we checked. On 30 October 2026, no recall or safety alert in Health Canada's, the US CPSC's, the UK's or the EU's records named Tesway or the X5 AWD; Tesway states UL 2849 certification by TÜV for the e-bike system and UL 2271 for the battery; and its Canadian warranty runs two years. In our view the X5 AWD is a well-equipped machine whose limits (54 kg, the 0 °C floor in its manual, and the law) are printed in Tesway's own documents.

Is the Tesway X5 AWD all-wheel drive?

Yes, in dual mode. The manual says: "Your E-bike is equipped with dual motors at both the front and the rear for driving." The Info key switches between single and dual drive; the manual does not say which motor drives in single mode, and Tesway does not publish how its controller shares torque between the two.

How low is the Tesway X5 AWD's step-through?

Tesway Canada's drawing labels 58 cm "Standing height". RedTail eBikes measured the frame's lowest point at about 40 cm (15.9 inches) on Tesway's photograph, and in RedTail's count at least 95 of every 100 riders at every printed height from 157 to 193 cm clear the 58 cm figure by 13 cm or more (RedTail's step-over section).

Where can I buy the Tesway X5 AWD in Canada?

At Zeus: the Tesway X5 AWD is $2,999 in Black, Green or Grey, with free shipping across Canada. Returns are accepted within 15 days of delivery on unused, unopened bikes, less a 15% restocking fee and any applicable shipping charges.

The bottom line

The X5 AWD puts two hub motors and a 3,120 Wh pack on a 54 kg frame you step through for $2,999: in our model about 257 km at 25 km/h on flat pavement at 25 °C, and in RedTail's measured count a fit for 91 or more of every 100 riders from 157 to 173 cm (5′2″ to 5′8″). At 2,000 W it is outside every provincial e-bike rule; ride it where the landowner, trail authority or track allows it, above 0 °C.

If it fits your height and your riding, it is a lot of machine for the price. If you are unsure, call 1-866-938-7580 with your height and inseam, and we will tell you straight. You have 15 days from delivery to return it unused and unopened, less a 15% restocking fee and return shipping, shipping is free across Canada, and financing is available.
