10 Reasons to Buy the Espin Flow

  • The Espin Flow ebike is more affordable than most other electric bicycles on the market.
  • It comes with reflective tires, which makes it safer to ride at night or in low-light conditions.
  • It has a max speed of around 25 mph, which is faster than the more standard 20 mph top speed found on most ebikes in this price range.
  • The ergonomic grips keep your hands in a comfortable position.
  • The modern design is available in smoke gray and forest green colors.
  • A good kickstand position means the bike won't tip over when you're not riding it.
  • Powerful brakes provide the stopping power you need.
  • It has a great drivetrain that makes pedaling easy and efficient.
  • The cockpit area is well-designed and comfortable to use.
  • The Espin Flow is easy to mount and stand over.

3 Reasons Not to Buy the Espin Flow

  • The battery design does not allow you to charge while mounted on the frame. This means that if you're planning on using this bike for long rides, you'll need to find a place to stop and dismount every time you need to recharge.
  • The LCD is not removable.
  • There's a bit of wobble at higher speeds, which can make for a less-than-comfortable ride.

Bottom Line

The Espin Flow is a good all-around urban commuter. It's well-built, with a good balance of weight distribution and durability. The battery design could be better, but it's not a dealbreaker. It rides smoothly and has great power and range for the price. If you're looking for an ebike that can do it all, the Espin Flow is a great option to consider.

When you receive the bike, the bike comes 95% assembled. You’ll have to finish putting the major pieces together.
