Reviews of the GEN3 The Stride
Gen3 The Stride – Electric Bike Review - Emma Cunningham
The Stride comes equipped with a beefy 500W rear hub Bafang motor. The motor is rated at 900W peak power, which means it’s pretty “torquay.” To be more exact, at the highest speed setting, the bike’s motor provides you with a whopping 65 N/m of torque. And that means that you’ll be able to hit the max speed of 20 miles per hour with just a couple of rotations of the pedals.

Gen3 The Stride Review 2022 - Sam Gross
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.

There’s a 500W motor that has five different pedal assist levels that allow you to ride at up to 20 MPH with ease. This means you can easily ride up a hill with the bike doing most of the hard work and your pedaling does not have to change. You can even ride for up to 40 miles on a single charge of the GEN3 Stride e-bike, which means you can get to and from work without having to plug back in.
