Electric Bike Report

The review discusses the best e-bikes for 2023 from various categories like folding bikes, commuter bikes, step-through bikes, city cruisers and more. The e-bikes are rated high for their unique features, build quality, design and excellent value for the price.

I’m not a cyclist who’d typically gravitate towards a folding e-bike, but I’ve found myself riding the Vika+ more and more even after its official test period with Electric Bike Report ended — it’s an exceptionally fun ride.

"For anyone who has the ability to save a bit more or finance a bit more but wonders why they would spend $2700 instead of $2000, the Specialized Globe Haul ST answers that question. From battery to motor to drivetrain to brakes to frame and fork and extending into rider comfort, this e-bike represents a net upgrade. This is an exceptional design that balances affordability against the sort of quality that the folks at Specialized believe make for a better, more reliable riding experience."

The review highlights the mod black bike as a unique hybrid of commuter and mountain biking features, well-tuned for versatility and enhanced riding experience. It praised the bike's motor, range, and efficiency, giving a record range test result of 84 miles. Yet, it suggested improvements for grip material and additional gearing options.

The video review elaborates on the Mod Bikes Easy, an e-bike with a comfortable and stylish cruiser design reminiscent of a motorcycle from the past. The e-bike performed exceptionally well in terms of acceleration, speed, and comfort. The 750-watt hub motor and 720-watt hour samsung battery provide robust power and an impressive range. The video mentions the unique addition of a sidecar that alters the bike's handling yet increases its versatility.

"We loved its aggressive styling, its full level of electric vehicle functionally, and of course, its absurd level of speed and power. There’s no doubt about it: this bike shreds!"

The LeMond Prologue features a unique blend of advanced materials construction and technology, delivering a lightweight e-bike with the traditional bicycle feel. A handmade carbon fiber frame, internal wiring, and seamless components give the bike a beautiful and minimalistic design. Its motor input subtly boosts speed and power, making the rider feel superhuman while maintaining the sensation of a non-electric bike. However, the bike's geometry needs reworking for comfort, and adaptations for better rider customization would be desirable.

If you’re looking for an e-bike you can use to take your kids to school, pick up groceries, or make local deliveries for your work, then the _Lectric XPedition_ is the bike for you. At a current price point of under $1800 for a dual battery cargo e-bike, the Lectric XPedition bundles some great features at an affordable price, and gives you a ton of value for your money.

The video review of the e-bike, the Mock Wheel Scoria, highlights its superior build and ride quality along with its unique features. With a powerful motor, a large battery, and a moped style design that suits riders of different heights, this e-bike stands out for its ease of use and fun ride. It can be comfortably handled by riders who are returning to biking after a long time or beginners. The extended battery life and optional features of solar charging panel and inverter increase its value.

The video is about the new release from Hiplock, the D1000 lock, which is designed to resist cutting by angle grinders, making bike theft harder. The reviewer tests this claim using a new blade on a Dewalt angle grinder.

I think Euphree did a great job in designing a bike that toes the line between commuter and cruiser. Maybe more importantly — considering this is the 2022 edition of the bike — I think they did a great job of making a number of small changes that add up to a noticeable difference in how the bike rides.

This is a reliable and cost-efficient entry-level drivetrain from Shimano that'll work well in most situations

The review of the 10 ways cgo 600 Pro e-bike highlighted its lightweight and easy usage for urban environments. It's an established brand in Europe, featuring a sleek European influenced design. Interestingly, the bike is faster in the USA, where it's a Class 1 e-bike capable of speeds up to 20 mph versus the European version's 16 mph. Notably, the bike also includes a responsive torque sensor and an easy to use system with high quality parts. Overall, the 10 ways cgo 600 Pro might not be the quickest or easiest bike for hilly terrains, but its design and performance make it an appealing choice for city cyclists and commuters.

The combination of a very torquey 750W hub motor, an 8-speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, the opportunity to order it with two batteries, and a frame design that serves the e-bike’s stated purpose, there is precious little to improve that won’t shift the Dubbel into a more expensive price range.

“We believe the Himiway Cruiser is going to be a great bike for those who value comfort and don’t want to be held to one surface/type of terrain when riding.”

Ross from Xtracycle discusses the design, functionality, and safety features of various cargo bikes including the Swoop, RFA, and Stoker, emphasizing utility and adaptability for different life stages.

Henning, a sales manager at Urban Aero, discusses the versatility of their cargo bikes for families and small businesses. Their design features a modular system that can be customized for personal or business use, emphasizing that they're a great tool for mitigating traffic and accomplishing daily tasks.

The video review covered the Eventon's Level 2 e-bike, categorizing it as an excellent upgrade from the previous version. Notably, the update included a shift from a Cadence Sensor to a Torque Sensor, improving the rider's engagement and power efficiency. The Level 2 e-bike proved to have significant range improvement, faster acceleration and sturdy build quality. Despite the hill-climbing capability being only effective when the rider is pedaling, the overall ride quality receives high marks.

The all-new Eventin Solterra is a lightweight, affordable, and appealing e-bike that performs well in various tests. This electric city bike comes predominantly in a single-speed model and is designed to be accessible. Despite comparatively smaller 350W motor, it performs well in the city and even in hill climbs when combined with pedalling. The bike maintains a fine balance between feeling like a traditional bicycle and providing the expected e-bike propulsion.

The video review of the Bellatrix Discover One reports that the bike has a unique design, blending the features of a cruiser and a commuter. Its 500-watt motor is strong enough to get up steep hills, although not very fast. The bike also features a sizeable 48-volt, 14.4 Amp-hour battery that gives a reliable range. Riding quality is comfortable with its bird-shaped handlebars and comfort-oriented saddle. Overall, the bike offers good value due to its solid build, quality and design, despite its average speed.

The Ride One Up 700 Series electric bike is praised for its build quality, use of reliable name-brand components, aesthetic design, and speed capabilities. It is recognised as a high-value e-bike due to these factors and offers solid ride experience at a comparatively lower price. The bike comes with Shimano Acera drivetrain and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes which provide a better shifting experience and excellent braking response, respectively. Some possible improvements include the torque of the bike, which could affect hill climbing, and the level of assembly required post-shipping.

The review presents Ride1UP Turris as an affordable e-bike that is full of desirable features. It delivers good motor power, has a battery range of up to 50 miles and is designed for comfort and versatility for commuting, exploring and light off-roading. Despite its economical price, Turris offers hydraulic brakes and suspension forks and can be used for a variety of riding styles.

The Trek FX Plus 2 is a lightweight, city-friendly E-bike designed primarily for cyclists who want an experience similar to a traditional bike. It features a small but effective motor and torque sensor and streamlined design elements that make it difficult to identify as an E-bike. Its 250 watt motor pairs with a convenient, but non-replaceable internal battery providing range between 13 and 30.1 miles. It also supports an external range extender battery to double the range. The bike maintains a stealthy appearance by limiting its user interface to a small LED indicator panel, but also connects to a Hyena Rider Assistant application for additional control and data.

The Haybike Ranger S is a feature-packed, folding e-bike with a 750W motor and 691Wh battery, able to hit class 3 speeds comfortably, offering turn signals, and various safety accessories for an affordable price.

The reviewer praises the Ride One Up bike for delivering a top-tier performance. Highlighting its high-end features such as the 700-150 watt motor, torque sensor, and air fork, the reviewer claims the bike's performance feels like it should cost significantly more than its sub $2000 price tag. While it lacks standard features like fenders and a rear rack, the addition of eight gears, a speed sensor, and an air fork make it seem more premium in comparison to other bikes in the same price range.

This video reviews Baku's Mule Hardtail Electric Fat Bike. The bikes are sturdy, powerful, and built specifically for hunters and outdoorsmen. They are equipped with a Buffet M620 mid-drive ultra motor, known for its steel gearing and robustness. The bikes also include an internally geared hub, making them suitable for outdoor environments. They also come with a huge battery, providing an impressive range. However, they are quite heavy and built to handle rugged terrains more than speed trails.

The Avella Quest Max is a folding electric bike praised for its mid drive motor, built-in lithium battery, offering a cleaner, longer-lasting marine drive and a NuVinci N360 drivetrain. Other appreciated features include a USB charging port, reliable brakes, reflective sidewalls and a comfortable saddle. It also has handy accessories such as bags, headlights, mud flaps and a double kickstand. It is compact and easy to store.

The Baku Mule Hardtail is a rugged electric fat bike with a high torque motor, designed specifically for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. It provides different power modes and customizability to comply with various legal settings. Its design includes a large battery, a steel-geared mid-drive ultra motor, and a four-piston braking system.

The Hay Bike Ranger S is a solid, affordable e-bike packed with features and power, reaching speeds of up to 28 miles per hour. Its build includes a robust 750-watt motor and responsive RSX hydraulic disc brakes. The robust and unique design includes turn signals for extra safety. However, the bike is heavy for a folding model and its motor re-engagement has some lag. The bike's app could use some improvements, but overall offers great value for its price point.

The video discusses the newly released specialized hardtail mountain bike, the Tarot 5.0, which is a versatile do-it-all bike fit for any occasion. It comes with innovative features like a new mastermind display, customizable assist mode and a bike lock feature.

The video summarizes a review of the new version of Basalt Bike, detailing its top-notch qualities including its torque sensor replacing the old Cadence Sensor, and the bike's overall ride feel. It enjoyed rave reviews for a 941-watt-hour massive battery, extensive test performance, awesome range test, and excellent ride quality. Areas of improvement include attention to brakes before use, expectation of an 8-speed cassette for better gearing system, and ensuring the bike matches its advertisements in relation to Class 2 and Class 3 limitations.

In this review, the Low Step Model of the Magnum Premium 3 e-bike positively stands out with its powerful motor, remarkable comfort, admirable range, effective brakes and excellent maneuverability. Although a slightly high-cost range, it's worth given the quality, and the fact it supports local shops. Some recommendations for improvement include adding a securing mechanism for when the bike is folded and making class adjustment more accessible.

The Bunch Bikes The Original is an electric cargo bike with a front box for hauling various items, particularly designed with families in mind. It features safety harnesses, removable benches, a 350 pound weight rating, an adjustable handlebar, Shimano Acera eight speed drivetrain, and a 500 watt Depoo rear hub geared motor powered by a Samsung 48 volt 13.6 amp hour battery. It is comfortable, has strong brakes, uses a gas spring damper for stability, and can achieve up to 20 miles per hour.

The video is a detailed review of Bull's mountain bike line, highlighting the Copperhead EVO AM1, AMinga EVA TR, and other models.

The Magnum Metro 750 electric adventure bike packs a powerful motor, quality build, and has great long-range potentials. The comfortable design and efficient power make it a versatile choice for commuting and adventure rides. The bike offers good value for the cost, with room for minor improvements in pedal assist system. The company offers good customer service for a satisfying purchase and post-purchase experience.

This YouTube video provides a comprehensive review of Juggernaut HD Electric Fat Bike by Bike Tricks, fairly priced starting at $25.99. The bike offers good value with high quality components, ergonomic design, three different battery options, customizable features and good ride quality

The Bike Tricks Stunner, a beach cruiser style e-bike, offers a high degree of build quality with aluminum frame housing a 750-watt mid-drive motor, a semi-integrated battery pack, and clean cable routing. The bike has solid ride quality with adjustable handlebars and a sunnat'or NEX suspension fork. The stunner is priced at $2,099 and offers good aesthetics and value, with options for longer-range batteries.

The reviewed bike is an efficient, lightweight, and powerful e-bike built with a 250W motor and 36V battery, offering a good range and top speed. It features a Shimano drivetrain with a seven-speed setup that facilitates smooth riding even in hilly areas, and reliable Shimano Tourney TX brakes. However, some elements, like a white chain and external cables, felt cheap and diminished the overall aesthetic appeal of the bike.

The reviewer praises the propeller v4 for its high quality build, impressive ride quality with the good balance of speed and power from the 250 watt motor. He mentioned the Shimano seven-speed drivetrain compliments the hilly ride and braking power is sufficient for the lightweight bike. The battery performed well in both maximum assist and minimum assist. Suggestions for improvement include internal cable routing, better quality and color of chain.

The Murph Higgs step through utility e-bike is specifically designed for shorter riders. It facilitates a comfortable, stable ride and effective braking system. However, the lack of suspension hinders overall ride quality. While the 52-volt electrical system ensures impressive acceleration and a battery that allows more than 50 miles on a single charge. Improvement areas include the addition of an 8-speed drivetrain and a suspension fork.

The review covers the Murph Higgs St e-bike, focusing on build quality, ride quality, design and value. Some points of improvements were the need for an eight-speed drivetrain and a suspension fork. However, the bike scored well in terms of range, hill climbing ability and speed. The review recommends it particularly for shorter riders.

The video reviews the BikeTricks Stunner electric bike highlighting its features such as the 750 watt Boffing mid-drive motor, Sturmey Archer five-speed internally geared rear hub, and the 6061 aluminum frame. It also extends a critical analysis of build details, step-through design, handling, pedal and throttle options, battery presentation and capacity.

This is a review of the 2017 lineup from big cat electric bikes featuring various models ranging from retail prices of $999 to $1595.

With an updated look and an updated motor, the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 is a killer electric commuter bike

“We found the Nomad 1’s performance to be more in line with a higher-priced e-bike, demonstrating excellent value for the money.” 

"If you’re a city cyclist looking to hold on to the core of your riding experience while taking advantage of the power offered by electric bikes, the Trek FX+ 2 should certainly be on your radar."

“The GSD took our weight like a champ, and while stopping, starting and cornering at low speeds certainly took some getting used to, never once did the bike feel unwieldy or overly tippy.”

The KBO Hurricane showed me that bigger isn’t always better and that the wattage-to-weight ratio is more important than wattage overall. Yes, the Hurricane struggled on the steep hills, but everywhere else, it held its composure and offered me a smooth, natural feeling experience.

Rad Power Bikes nailed the difficulty of the one gear you have, though. The gearing is hard enough to push the bike faster on flat ground, yet easy enough to pedal up steep hills

The simplicity of the fully rigid frame, single-speed drivetrain merged with a high-performance motor and battery gives the rider a unique and enjoyable riding experience. Rad Power Bikes nailed the engineering of this bike.

The Apex is the highest-end of several hardtail electric fat bikes in QuietKat’s lineup. Spec’d with the Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor, an inverted moto-style front fork, powerful brakes, and a 9-speed SRAM drivetrain, the Apex is a member of a newer niche of electric bikes I’ve started calling the “all-terrain” category.

We like that Sondors have placed the charging port on the right side of the bike, so when you engage the kickstand or fold the bike, the port is on the exterior side — which both keeps it up off the ground and makes it easier to access when charging.

All 3 gears are distinguishable from one another so you’ll notice a difference in pedal resistance with each one.

"It has that traditional feel of a non-electric bike, and it also has a full array of quality components backed up by Avello's awesome warranty."

Another feature we love about the Verve+ 3 is the Range Boost system. Since the main battery locks in and out from the right side, this leaves the top of the tube open for another battery to be attached to double your range

We believe that anybody looking to reduce time spent driving and who appreciates a good pedal experience will like what the Level has to offer. While there are plenty of class 3 e-bikes on the market, very few are as quick and nimble as the Level, especially when taking the price point into account

“Because the Pace 500 is a fully rigid bike, riders must accept the tradeoff of having a lighter weight bike that will feel bumps in the trail or road a lot more than they would on a bike with some form of suspension.”

The Zebra’s lighter weight also appears to have had a positive effect on its braking performance.

Right away we noticed that the Ride1UP Core-5 can move! It’s a fast-rolling bike with or without the motor.

This is an area where I think Mokwheel has set the Basalt up for some success – it’s an e-bike that I think of as an off-roader first, whereas others I think of as for paved trails that I could do light offroading with.

It’s certainly not the fanciest bike we saw at Sea Otter, but I get very excited every time a bigger name puts out a bike on the more affordable end of the spectrum.

The Model S had no issue getting up to top speed quickly. The 500W motor only needed a couple of pedal strokes for the bike to hover above 20 mph.

“With a very capable full suspension design and one of the most powerful e-bike motors on the market, the Jeep is designed to tackle backcountry roads and rugged 4×4 tracks with ease. It comes with a stout suspension system, good brakes, a crisp-shifting groupset, and a host of other features that make it uniquely capable in environments far too punishing for your average e-bike.”

If you’re riding the D11 on a fully charged battery, I think it’s safe to say you’re going to get to your destination with charge to spare (unless you have a 50+ mile commute of course).

“Like its sibling the Alpine Hawk, the Grinder is a member of the budding “superlight” category of e-bikes that prioritizes fitness, stealthiness, and weight by using smaller motors and batteries.“

In short, the Blix Ultra truly delivers on being a multipurpose bike. Its construction, integrated features, customization options, and specs make the bike as suitable for camping and off-road exploring as it is for a family tour around town.

I never thought I’d spend so much time in a bike review talking about the seat; all bodies are different, and seats are a very personal choice. But beyond its lack of nose and my own discomfort while using it, what warrants its mention to this degree is the fact that you can’t swap it out.

Overall, the bike handled very well and felt confidence inspiring — an important feature considering this bike is built specifically for new riders or those who might want a bike that’s a little more upright and comfortable.

With a carrying capacity of 300 lbs, a comfortable fit, and a rear rack that’s compatible with accessories and child seats, Radio Flyer has clearly spent a lot of time thinking about how this e-bike could be used to replace car trips — I personally think they nailed it.

"I think this bike was built for the traditional cyclist who’s on the fence about e-bikes. They want a bike that’s going to feel like a normal road bike 95 percent of the time, but they wouldn’t mind a little help when things get steep, windy or they just need to get home on time."

It looks like those first bikes, rides like them and I think they did a nice job of balancing e-bike assist with a bike that pedals exceedingly well.

Once you’re at that 20 mile cruising speed the bike has little trouble maintaining it, even with very little help from your legs.

The Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 electric commuter bike is a remarkably well-done e-bike. It handles divinely, looks sharp as any commuter could, and is equipped with a motor that can breathe fire in TURBO mode.

For one, I think the exposed cable lines make the V4.0 look a little outdated, as lots of similarly priced bikes use fully enclosed cables or internal cable routing. I also think that the white chain looks a little bit cheap, but I never had any issues with its performance.

The Rad Power Bikes Rad Runner combines moped versatility with cargo bike utility, boasting a 48V 14Ah battery, 750W motor, and a quality aluminum frame with multiple cargo options.

We’d like to see some slightly wider handlebars on future iterations of this bike.

The CGO800S features torque sensing power delivery and a single gear; this means all there is to do is press the on button, select one of five power levels using the arrow buttons by your left thumb and pedal off. Dead simple.

I spent a reasonable amount of time riding this bike on-road and off-road, and components like the suspension fork and fat tires gave me a good balance point and a plush, truck-like feeling when riding over bumpy terrain.

The RadTrike isn’t a novelty addition to Rad’s lineup but rather a needed and useful one. It’s built to accommodate a wide variety of riders -particularly those in need of three wheels when two wheels won’t do for feeling stable. E-trikes have long been a favorite of seniors, and I foresee the value and easy-to-ingrain-into-your-life features of the RadTrike being a highly popular option for anybody seeking a sturdier ride.

"This bike is designed for the riders who want to use it for hunting, fishing or carrying bulky items into the wilderness, with the help of one of the accessory trailers."

I couldn’t tell this was a foldable bike with how sturdy and stable it felt below me and it left me without question Espin did a good job designing the Nesta.

It’s hard to understate the value of the Bosch drive system and the sheer depth of engineering that’s gone into Tern’s bikes, and the Vektron is an electric folder that’s built to last.

The 5 assist levels give the RadRunner Plus the ability to be the conservative ebike that’s in it for the long haul, or the speedy ebike that helps you get to work on time.

The motor feels nice, and aside from a few minor gripes about frame sizing and display readability, we think this is a stellar option for anyone looking for a dependable daily commuter e-bike.

One of the key features is the patented PedelSense software that monitors the rider’s output and contributes power to the overall ride.

Arguably one of the highest performing electric fast folders on the planet.

The Escape is an electric bike that you can commute on or ride around for fun; it does both equally well, and its unique design leaves its utility completely up to the rider.

Overall, this Bafang mid-drive kit is one of the more refined systems that can be installed on almost any bike

"Factor in its looks, componentry and motor performance, and this is probably the top bike on my personal list of best electric folding bikes."

While most affordable e-bike makers buy motors from other companies, Rad designs theirs in house. This is a big deal — one that Rad takes a lot of pride in — and I can say from experience that it does make a difference in performance and reliability.

Overall, we’re incredibly pleased with how well the Aventure performed. In a competitive market flush with affordable fat-tire e-bikes, Aventon stepped up and built a bike that’s refreshingly unique and tremendously fun. We’ve also got a hunch that the Aventure may set a new standard for detail and creativity in the race for the best affordable fat e-bike – if not one of the best electric bikes period.

The main takeaway from our Lectric XP Lite review was that it shifted our view of how affordable an e-bike can be while still being worth recommending.

“The Rhino Pro is an unusual e-bike for several reasons. The frame design leads those differences. The 6061 aluminum frame is designed to hold two internal batteries, one in the down tube and the other in the top tube. The dual-battery system isn’t an option, either; the two batteries come standard.”

I absolutely love how silent and sturdy this bike is. This is one of the few folding e-bikes I’ve reviewed where I actually forgot it folded when riding. Aside from the funky looks and small wheels, it handles and feels much like a normal bicycle.

The Mako Basalt e-bike was reviewed and was praised for its range and ride quality, though noted that it could use some better classification for its speed capabilities. The bike's optional accessories were pointed out as useful and unique. However, the reviewer recommended possibly upgrading the bike's cassette for a wider gearing range.

“It didn’t take us long to figure out the Lectric XP Step-Thru is where fun and budget-friendly meet.”

“Their best-selling electric bike, the Bakcou Mule is an electric fat bike equipped with an ultra-powerful mid-drive motor designed to take you and some gear into backcountry areas discreetly and efficiently.”

To put it short, this bike is as quick as it looks. It’s a thrilling ride and is a surprisingly affordable option in the growing lineup of Bosch-powered Class 3 commuter bikes.

“I’ve ridden quite a few Bosch-equipped e-bikes and every time I’m always impressed at how well the motor responds to rider input.”

Gen3 The Stride electric commuter bike is one such exception to the cost/quality rule. Powered by a 500W Bafang rear hub motor, a fully integrated 500Wh battery, and a full Shimano Drivetrain, The Stride is a serious contender in the commuter category. The best part, however, is the price — just $1,499 MSRP.

When I conducted the maximum pedal assist test I reached 28.47 miles, with an average speed of 18.3 mph before the RadRover finally died.

"Their sporty-looking Lion LX1 has a unique look with curved tubing and some missing frame tubes?!"

“If you are looking for a bike that can be a casual cruiser or your form of transportation to and from work, then the Velotric Discover 1 isn’t a bad choice at all.” 

…. the Response has the soul of an urban shredder. It wants to huck curbs, roll stairs, and wallride concrete embankments. It’s a super fun riding bike.

I was also pleasantly surprised with the suspension performance, especially at the rear. It’s difficult to build a full-suspension fat bike that doesn’t feel like a pogo stick due to the weight, but the Storm’s Rockshox-equipped rear end felt good.

The Galaxy 500 is a class 2 e-bike with trigger throttle and pedal assist to 20 mph. It has a well-powered 500-watt mid-drive motor that is safely tucked at the base of the frame for enhanced balance. The bike is priced at $3999, which is on the higher end, but we find the price very reasonable since you are getting a lot of innovative tech and upgraded components on the Evelo Galaxy 500. This is not your standard Chinese-made electric bike.

"What I like about it is that it comes with everything you need except a helmet. Everybody in the home can ride this bike."

The Ride One Up Roadster V2 is a budget-priced commuter bike that offers impressive features such as a 350 watt rear hub motor, a discreet 252 watt hour battery and a belt drive. Despite the bike's relatively small motor and battery, the reviewer was impressed by its performance, noting that it handles well, provides a comfortable ride, and features solid braking performance. The bike's belt drive system, lightweight design, aesthetic appeal, and reasonable price point were also highlighted as key positives.

This summary encompasses the top 26 electric bikes of 2024, focusing on their performance, value, and special features like power, comfort, and customization options highlighted for different user needs.

The Rad Power Bikes Rad Trike is a thoughtfully designed, stable, and affordable three-wheeled electric bike catering to those needing extra balance, offering impressive performance, safety features, and portability with a price around $2500.

The EVELO Aurora Limited is a fun and comfortable eBike that steps up the riding experience with automatic shifting so you can focus more on enjoying the ride.

The JackRabbit came into being because it was designed to fix the problem of accomplishing shorter trips.

"Aventon’s e-bike lineup has impressed us because of the company’s ability to repeatedly upgrade their e-bikes without seeing big price increases. With the new versions of the Pace 500 and the Pace 350, Aventon has once again chosen substance by adding a component that no one will see, but will fundamentally improve the rider’s experience. "

The frame's top tube nicely conceals the battery.

"The automatic shifting system, powerful motor, and comfortable riding position make it a joy to ride."

The Austrian-made MPF mid-drive motor is new to us and performs very nicely.

“While fast is normally fun, I don’t recommend traveling at high speeds while on The Original. When riding with kids or cargo I found around 16 mph to be a comfortable speed to handle bumps in the road and keep passengers and cargo cozy in the box.”
