Freego Maxx M3 vs Macfox X1S
Reviewed November 9, 2026. Published by Freego. Manufacturer specifications describe the stated configurations; this is a specification comparison, not an independent road test. Prices, availability and regional configurations can change.
The Freego Maxx M3 and Macfox X1S use different battery and wheel sizes. The M3 lists a 48V 13Ah battery and 16 × 4.0-inch tires; the current Macfox X1S lists a 48V 10.4Ah battery and 20 × 4.0-inch tires. Fit and low-speed handling deserve as much attention as the motor number.
| Specification | Freego Maxx M3 | Macfox X1S |
|---|---|---|
| Rated / peak motor power | 600 W / 750 W | 500 W / 750 W |
| Single battery | 48 V 13 Ah / 624 Wh | 48 V 10.4 Ah / approximately 500 Wh |
| Standard speed | 20 mph | 20 mph |
| Tires | 16 × 4.0 inches | 20 × 4.0 inches |
| Brakes | Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes | Hydraulic disc brakes on the current listing |
How does battery capacity compare?
Using nominal ratings, 48 × 13 gives 624 Wh, while 48 × 10.4 gives 499.2 Wh. The M3 therefore stores about 25% more nominal energy than that X1S single-battery configuration. Compare single battery with single battery: Macfox also sells a dual-battery option.
Is the Macfox comparison based on an older specification?
No. The current Macfox X1S page describes hydraulic brakes and a 20 mph top assisted speed. Older summaries that describe mechanical brakes or a different speed should not be used for this comparison. See Freego Maxx M3 for the Freego configuration.
Which one fits the rider?
A smaller wheel does not automatically mean a lower or easier fit. Check seat height, reach to the brake levers, the ability to put a foot down and how the unpowered bike feels while walking it. Macfox recommends its current X1S for riders 5 feet 3 inches and up. Confirm the M3’s current geometry with Freego and use the fit checklist before choosing.
