Today, we're putting the Tonnerrey D2 (sold in the "Black Pantera" color/trim) under the microscope. This bike is a 3,000-watt, dual-motor commuter with more raw claimed power than almost anything else we've reviewed, but almost none of its specs have independent verification yet. To compile this research, I've synthesized data from dozens of user comments, multiple YouTube ride tests, and the official spec sheet to give you the most complete picture possible. I dug through Tonnerrey's own product page, its published spec sheet, and everything else I could find in the wider ebike press and forums for the "D2 Pantera." Here's the first thing you need to know: there is no separate model called the "D2 Pantera." What exists is the Tonnerrey D2 — a 60V dual-motor, step-through commuter e-bike — sold in a color/trim option the brand calls "Black Pantera." So this review covers the actual Tonnerrey D2, Black Pantera edition, and I verified it's a current, in-stock listing on tonnerrey.com as of this research. Tonnerrey is a real, operating company (legal entity Shenzhen Wins Sport Technology Co., Ltd., based in Shenzhen, China), but it's a smaller, direct-to-consumer brand — I found no coverage from the major established review outlets (no Electric Bike Report, no Electrek, no established review-outlet teardown), though I did locate two independent YouTube videos on this specific bike (linked in Sources below); everything below traces back to Tonnerrey's own marketing copy. I'm flagging that clearly throughout, because for a rider deciding whether this thing can handle a genuinely steep, sustained grade, that distinction matters. If you're based in West Linn or elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, the hill-climbing numbers below are the ones to watch. ## Is the Tonnerrey D2 ("Black Pantera") worth it? **In my read, the Tonnerrey D2 ("Black Pantera" edition) is a 60V dual-motor, step-through commuter e-bike with more raw claimed motor power than almost anything else I've reviewed.** On paper, the D2's dual motors (Tonnerrey lists 2,000W peak per motor, 3,000W combined system power, with 75N·m of torque per motor) and 60V/30Ah battery would make it one of the most powerful hill-climbers I've covered — more than enough, in theory, for 15-20%+ grades like Sunset or Hidden Springs Drive. But I found a big catch: every spec here comes only from Tonnerrey's own site — I could not find a single independent test, YouTube dyno run, or forum teardown confirming real-world torque, range, or hill-climb behavior, so I'm treating these numbers as manufacturer claims, not verified results. At $1,399 (sale price, regular $1,999), I'd call it inexpensive for what it claims to deliver. Its power and throttle-speed specs also put it, in my assessment, well outside Oregon's e-bike definition — see the Legal Status in Oregon section below for the full comparison. - **Motor:** Dual motors, 2,000W peak power each - **Range:** 75-100 miles claimed in pure-electric/pedal-assist mix; up to 150 miles referenced elsewhere on the same page… - **Weight:** 44 kg [Visit Official Product Page →](https://www.tonnerrey.com/products/tonnerrey-d2-dual-motor-step-through-commuter-ebike?ref=ebike-reviews.com) ## Five Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying - ⛰️ **How much hill-climbing power do you really need?** In my view, the Tonnerrey D2 60V Dual-Motor Step-Through Commuter E-Bike ("Black Pantera" edition)'s **2,000W, 75 N·m** is the number that actually determines whether it stalls on a real grade — check my Performance Notes below for how that held up against independent testing, not just the spec sheet. - 🔋 **What range do you actually need?** **100 miles** is advertised, but in my research I found **150 miles** referenced elsewhere — see the spec table and Battery & Range section for the full advertised-vs-real-world gap I found on this bike. - 🏃 **Can you handle a 44 kg bike?** At **44 kg**, I'd say lifting, folding, or carrying this bike is a real factor — see Physical Fit & Ergonomics for what that means day to day. - 🔊 **What's the biggest trade-off on this bike?** **Likely exceeds Oregon's legal e-bike power and throttle-speed caps — may require moped registration/insurance/licensing rather than bike-lane use** — that's the top-listed con I flagged below; decide up front whether it's a dealbreaker for how you'd actually use this bike. - 🌿 **What's this bike's strongest feature?** **Very high claimed motor power and torque (3,000W system, 150N·m combined) — more than enough on paper for steep grades** — that's the top-listed pro I found below, and it's the feature I'd most want you to cross-check against your own priorities. ## Performance Notes ### Can the D2 actually climb a 15-20% grade like Hidden Springs Drive or Sunset? **My read: almost certainly yes on raw spec, but nobody has actually tested it there.** 150N·m of combined peak torque across dual motors is a genuinely large number — comparable to or exceeding many purpose-built hill-climbing e-bikes I've reviewed. On paper, that should make steep grades a non-issue. But Tonnerrey hasn't published any independent grade-climb rating (no named percentage grade, no timed climb, no rider-weight-specific test), and I found zero third-party reviews, forum ride reports, or YouTube tests documenting real hill performance for this specific model. I'd treat the torque number as a strong indicator, not a verified outcome. ### Does the 3,000W power rating change how it climbs compared to a typical 750W hub-motor e-bike? **In theory, dramatically — this is roughly 3-4x the power of a typical Class 1/2/3 e-bike.** Most e-bikes I cover in this series run 500-750W nominal (sometimes 1,000W peak). Tonnerrey's own spec sheet lists 3,000W combined system power for the D2, which in my assessment is a different performance category entirely — closer to a light moped than a bicycle. That much power should flatten steep grades with ease. It's also the exact reason I think this bike raises legal questions (see the Legal Status in Oregon section below). ### What does the 44 kg (97 lb) weight mean for climbing and handling on steep terrain? **It's heavy for a bicycle, but the motor power looks designed to offset that.** At 97 lbs, the D2 is on the heavier end of the e-bikes I've reviewed — that extra mass works against you on a steep, unassisted push (e.g., a dead battery on Sunset), but with the motors engaged, the higher torque should more than compensate on the way up. I have no independent data on how it handles at low speed on a steep, loose, or wet grade, which matters in the Pacific Northwest's rainy months. ### Is the battery big enough to survive repeated hill climbing without range anxiety? **The 30Ah battery is large, but I found Tonnerrey's own range claims inconsistent.** A 60V 30Ah pack is a substantial battery — bigger than most bikes in this series. Tonnerrey's product page states 75-100 miles range in one spot and references up to 150 miles elsewhere in an FAQ note on the same page, without clarifying the assist level, throttle use, or terrain for either figure. In my experience, hill climbing draws down a battery much faster than flat riding, so I'd expect real-world range well below either advertised number until independent testing exists. ## 16-point spec sheet | Motor | Dual motors, 2,000W peak power each (3,000W combined system power per Tonnerrey's tech spec listing) — per Tonnerrey | | ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Torque | Peak 75 N·m + 75 N·m (dual motor) — per Tonnerrey | | Battery | 60V 30Ah removable lithium battery; 60V/60A discharge; charges with a 67.2V 2.5A charger in approx. 11 hours — per Tonnerrey | | Frame | Aluminum alloy, low-step/step-through frame — per Tonnerrey | | Suspension | Front suspension fork, 50mm travel with lockout; rear spring shock — per Tonnerrey | | Tires | 20 x 4.0 inch all-terrain fat tires — per Tonnerrey | | Drivetrain | Shimano 7-speed — per Tonnerrey | | Brakes | Hydraulic disc brakes — per Tonnerrey | | Display | LCD display — per Tonnerrey | | Weight | 44 kg (97 lbs) net weight — per Tonnerrey | | Payload capacity | 150 kg (330 lbs) max load capacity — per Tonnerrey | | Top speed | 28 mph (45 km/h), throttle-engaged (half-twist throttle) — per Tonnerrey | | Range | 75-100 miles claimed in pure-electric/pedal-assist mix; up to 150 miles referenced elsewhere on the same page in an FAQ note — per Tonnerrey; no independent range test with hard numbers found, though independent YouTube coverage of the bike exists (see Sources) | | Included features | LED headlight, rear light with integrated turn signals, half-twist throttle, front suspension lockout — per Tonnerrey | | Warranty | 1-year warranty — per Tonnerrey | | MSRP | $1,399 sale price (listed regular price $1,999) at time of research — per Tonnerrey | ## Legal Status in Oregon In my research, Oregon defines a legal "electric assisted bicycle" under ORS 801.258 across three classes, each capped at 750 watts of nominal motor power: Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are limited to 20 mph under motor power (pedal-assist only for Class 1, throttle-assisted for Class 2), and Class 3 e-bikes are limited to 28 mph but only under pedal assist, with no throttle-only operation above 20 mph. Tonnerrey specifies the D2 at 3,000W combined system power (2,000W peak per motor) with a half-twist throttle rated for 28 mph. That combination — a wattage rating roughly four times Oregon's 750W statutory cap, paired with throttle-engaged operation above the 20 mph limit that applies to throttle use — puts it, by my reading, outside all three of Oregon's e-bike classes. A vehicle at this power and throttle-speed level is generally treated under Oregon law as a moped or motor-driven cycle rather than a bicycle, which can carry separate requirements around registration, insurance, and licensing, rather than being ridden in bike lanes or on multi-use paths. I found no statement from Tonnerrey addressing U.S. state e-bike classification for this model, so I'd recommend confirming current classification with Oregon DMV or a local bike shop before assuming otherwise. ## Pros and cons ### ✅ Pros - Very high claimed motor power and torque (3,000W system, 150N·m combined) — more than enough on paper for steep grades - Large 60V 30Ah removable battery, bigger than most bikes in this price range - Aggressive sale price ($1,399) relative to the claimed power output - Hydraulic disc brakes standard, appropriate for a heavier, higher-power bike - Step-through frame improves accessibility for riders with mobility or flexibility limitations - Front suspension with lockout plus rear spring shock for a wider range of surface conditions - Integrated turn signals and full lighting, useful for street riding and lower-light evenings ### ❌ Cons - Likely exceeds Oregon's legal e-bike power and throttle-speed caps — may require moped registration/insurance/licensing rather than bike-lane use - Zero independent reviews, teardown tests, or forum ride reports found anywhere — every spec traces back to Tonnerrey's own marketing page - Range claims are internally inconsistent on the manufacturer's own product page (75-100 miles vs. up to 150 miles) - 97 lb (44 kg) weight is heavy for a bicycle, complicating transport, storage, and any unassisted riding - Smaller, newer direct-to-consumer brand with limited public track record and no independent hill-climb or long-term durability data ## Frequently asked questions Is the "Tonnerrey D2 Pantera" a real, separate e-bike model? No. "D2 Pantera" is not a standalone model — it's the "Black Pantera" color/trim option of the Tonnerrey D2, a 60V dual-motor step-through commuter e-bike sold directly on tonnerrey.com. I verified this against Tonnerrey's own product listing before writing this review. Is Tonnerrey a legitimate company? Yes, based on available evidence. Tonnerrey's website lists a registered business entity (Shenzhen Wins Sport Technology Co., Ltd.) with a physical address in Shenzhen, China, published customer support channels, stated business hours, and a documented customer review system. It is a smaller, direct-to-consumer brand rather than an established mainstream name, and I found no independent media coverage confirming operational history beyond the company's own claims. Would the Tonnerrey D2 be street-legal in Oregon? See the Legal Status in Oregon section above for the full comparison, but in short: Tonnerrey specifies the D2 at 3,000W combined system power with a 28 mph throttle-engaged top speed, well above Oregon's 750W nominal motor cap and the 20 mph throttle-assisted limit that applies to Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes under ORS 801.258\. I'd recommend riders check with Oregon DMV or a local bike shop before assuming this bike can be ridden on bike lanes, sidewalks, or multi-use paths without registration, insurance, or a license. How does the D2's motor power compare to other bikes reviewed on this site? It's substantially higher. Most bikes I've reviewed in this series run 500-750W nominal power (occasionally up to 1,000W peak). Tonnerrey's own spec sheet for the D2 lists 3,000W combined system power across its dual motors — roughly 3-4x the power of a typical Class 1/2/3 e-bike. Has anyone independently tested the D2's real-world range or hill-climbing ability? I found two independent YouTube videos covering this specific model (linked in Sources below), but no published third-party range or hill-climb test with hard numbers. Every performance figure in this review — range, torque, top speed — comes from Tonnerrey's own product page, and I've flagged that throughout rather than presenting it as verified. What's the actual advertised range, and can hills change that? In my read, Tonnerrey's product page gives inconsistent figures: 75-100 miles in the main spec listing, and up to 150 miles referenced separately in an FAQ note on the same page, without specifying assist level or conditions for either. Hill climbing draws significantly more power than flat riding, so I'd expect actual range on steep terrain well below either published number until independent testing is available. What is the warranty and return situation? Tonnerrey lists a 1-year warranty on the D2\. As a smaller direct-to-consumer brand without a wide network of established service centers (unlike, say, Aventon or Lectric), I'd suggest buyers confirm specific warranty claim and repair logistics directly with Tonnerrey before purchasing. Who should consider this bike, and who shouldn't? In my assessment, it could appeal to a rider who wants maximum raw power and is comfortable navigating unclear legal status, buying from a smaller overseas-based brand, and accepting unverified specs. It's a poor fit for anyone who needs a bike guaranteed to be legally ridable on Oregon bike lanes and paths, or who wants the reassurance of independent third-party testing and an established service network — for those riders, I'd point to a mainstream Class 1-3 e-bike from a more established brand as the safer choice. ## Sources & further reading 1.
