The Hiboy P6 is a fat-tire e-bike with a front suspension fork, and at $1,099.99 it sits $100 above the Mihogo Air Max. The two are aimed at different riders: the P6 is built for rougher surfaces on 4-inch tires, the Air Max for distance on a carbon frame. Where Hiboy publishes a number, we cite it; where Hiboy does not publish one, we say so rather than guess. (We're Mihogo USA, the Air Max's U.S. distributor, so every Hiboy figure below links to Hiboy's own product page.)

Every Hiboy P6 figure above links to the manufacturer's own product page; Air Max figures are first-party from mihogousa.com. Where the manufacturer does not publish a spec, the cell says so rather than carrying an estimate. Prices fluctuate with promotions — always confirm current specs and pricing on the maker's site before purchase.
Range: 121 miles vs 62.1 miles
Hiboy rates the P6 at up to 62.1 miles from a 48V 11.6Ah battery.[source] The Air Max is rated at up to 121 miles from a 921.6 Wh dual-battery system (two 460.8 Wh packs). Both are manufacturer best-case figures at the lowest assist level, and both will fall well short of that on a real commute with hills and stop-and-go. The structural reason for the gap is simply capacity: the Air Max carries two batteries where the P6 carries one, and it ships with two chargers to match.
Motor: same rated power, and the P6 has the higher peak
Both bikes use a 750W rated motor. On peak output the P6 is ahead: Hiboy lists 1,000W peak[source] against the Air Max's 900W peak. That is a genuine advantage for the P6 on short, steep pitches, and we would rather state it than skip the row. What Hiboy does not publish on the product page is a torque figure in Nm or the pedal-assist sensor type, so we have left both cells marked as not published rather than fill them with a number from a marketplace listing. The Air Max is rated at 85 Nm and uses a bilateral torque sensor. If torque and assist feel matter to your decision, ask Hiboy for those two specs in writing before you buy.
Top speed: a genuine tie on pedal assist
Hiboy states the P6 reaches 20 mph on the throttle and up to 28 mph with pedal assist.[source] The Air Max assists up to 28 mph. On pedal assist these two bikes top out at the same speed — a real tie, not a marketing tie.
Weight and frame: 62 lb of carbon vs 65 lb
The P6 weighs 65 lb (29.5 kg);[source] the Air Max weighs about 62 lb, with a Toray T800 carbon frame that is 7.7 lb on its own. So the Air Max is about 3 lb lighter while carrying an extra battery. Hiboy does not publish the P6's frame material on its product page, so we are not going to characterize it. What is clear is the tire difference: the P6's 4-inch fat tires add grip and cushioning on gravel, sand and broken pavement, and they also add rolling resistance on smooth roads. That is a trade, not a flaw — pick the one that matches your surfaces.
Load ratings: two different measurements, do not subtract them
This row deserves a note because the two numbers are not measuring the same thing. Hiboy lists 265 lb (120 kg) as the P6's max load / total effective load[source] — that is the whole load the bike is rated to carry, rider plus cargo. The Air Max's 275 lb (125 kg) is a rider rating. Because the two are measured differently, you cannot subtract one from the other and call the difference 10 lb. If you plan to carry heavy cargo, get both numbers restated in the same terms by each manufacturer before you decide.
Where the P6 wins, stated plainly
- Higher peak power — 1,000W vs 900W.
- Front suspension plus 4-inch fat tires, which is a real advantage on gravel, sand and broken pavement.
- A far bigger discount off list — $1,099.99 against a $1,479.99 list price.
So which should you buy?
- Ride gravel, sand or rough surfaces and want suspension and fat tires? → Hiboy P6, $1,099.99.
- Ride pavement and want maximum range on a lighter carbon frame for less? → Mihogo Air Max, $999. Up to 121 miles, ~62 lb.

Comparison FAQ
Which has longer range?
The Mihogo Air Max — up to 121 miles on its 921.6 Wh dual-battery system, versus up to 62.1 miles for the Hiboy P6 on its 48V 11.6Ah battery. Both are manufacturer best-case figures.
Which is cheaper?
The Air Max, at $999. The Hiboy P6 is $1,099.99, discounted from a $1,479.99 list price.
Which is faster?
They tie on pedal assist. Hiboy states the P6 reaches 20 mph on the throttle and up to 28 mph with pedal assist; the Air Max assists up to 28 mph.
How much torque does the Hiboy P6 make?
Hiboy does not publish a torque figure in Nm on the P6 product page, so we have not listed one. The Air Max is rated at 85 Nm. If torque matters to your decision, ask Hiboy for that spec in writing.
Can I compare the two load ratings directly?
No. Hiboy lists 265 lb as the P6’s total effective load, meaning rider plus cargo. The Air Max’s 275 lb figure is a rider rating. The two are measured differently, so subtracting one from the other would be misleading.
