Diamondback

A Bosch Performance Line Speed motor powers the Diamondback Union 1, a Class 3 drive e-bike that offers pedal assistance up to 28 mph. A Bosch PowerTube 400 battery is hidden in the downtube of the aluminum frame, which also has internal cable routing, discrete branding, and a matte finish.
The Union 1 is a solid performer. This is made possible in part by the 27.5-inch wheels and wide 2.4-inch tires, which offer stability and traction on a variety of surfaces. Additionally, the through-axles on the front and rear wheels make for stable, quick handling.
The rear derailleur and 10-speed Shimano Deore cassette handle the shifting. The set is completed by Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, fenders, a kickstand, and a supportive but sporty saddle. The battery range claimed by Diamondback is 35 to 55 miles, which is more than enough for the majority of daily commutes and rides.


If you’re looking for a commuter-friendly e-bike, take a look at the Union 1. In this article, we’ve analyzed reviews to help you make a decision!

Diamondback Union 1

The Union 1 is a great addition to the Diamondback line with its stellar performance and some amazing commuter-friendly features. However, for someone who is new to e-biking, it might be a bit difficult to get into muscle memory because of its heavy weight and some budget-minded components.


Dropbar electric bicycles like the Diamondback Current are comfortable on both main roads and side streets. Having some modest gravel and dirt road capability is made possible by the wide handlebars and 40mm Maxxis tires. 
The wide handlebars provide a comfortable ride, but at the cost of high maneuverability. Although you can easily take the Current off pavement, it is not guaranteed to be the most comfortable since off-road travel on the Current is usually bumpy and tiring.
A fast, exciting ride is made possible by a class-3, mid-mount Bosch Performance Line motor, which offers outstanding power and a top-aided speed of 28 mph. The majority of e-bikes designed for the road have tiny motors and batteries that are only useful for the occasional boost, but this one has the whole Bosch treatment. 
With a thru-axle spacing of 12x100mm, the fork is made of forged aluminum. At least it has mid-fork eyelets to install a fender and/or a front rack. A carbon fork would have been ideal at this price. The tires are not tubeless, but you can make them so.
This e-bike originated from a need to travel. The Current will transport you to any location where you can envision riding your bike.


If you’re looking for a bike for your daily commute that can also take you off-pavement, then do consider the Diamondback Current.

Although the Diamondback is great for commuting, it can be difficult to use off-pavement. It’s a bit pricey and does not come with important features such as lights, fenders, or a rack.


The Diamondback Response is powered by the same 500Wh PowerTube battery as the Union 2 electric commuter bike. Consequently, this e-bike is also extremely fast.
The Response e-bike can reach astounding speeds without tiring thanks to its 10-speed Shimano gear and a Bosch Performance Line Speed motor with 85Nm of power. With the help of Magura hydraulic disc brakes, that speed can also be easily reduced. Obstacles are easily overcome by a RockShox Judy Gold fork with 120mm of travel.
As a Class 3 e-bike, it can aid you in riding up to 28 mph. It starts operating as soon as you begin turning the cranks since Bosch motors are some of the most sensitive on the market. It is a remarkably swift bike.


If your daily commute involves natural and manmade obstacles, you may want to consider a hard trail e-bike like the Diamondback Response.

There’s a lot going on for the Diamondback Response, but it doesn’t come without its drawbacks. If the drawbacks are negligible for you, then this e-bike is amazing for its price. 


The Diamondback Union 2 is a Class 3 electric bike designed with cargo. It boasts a sleek frame, internal cabling, and a powerful battery to get you ahead. The computer on the bike gives you important information - like your heart rate monitor, as well as easy-to-read instructions and information about the bike.
The bike comes with a 10-speed drive, allowing you to shift between speeds with ease. Aside from this, you also have hydraulic brakes available to help you slow down when necessary. At its highest speed, the bike can reach up to 28 miles per hour, making it an effective mode of transport for everyday commutes.
