Hi Raphael,
Thanks for pointing that out. We’ve added Giant as a brand to “Where to buy” section, as Giant bikes can be found all around the country basically in every large town across the US. Their bikes and selection are indeed very good. We made this post to diversify the selection and point out some of the best bikes you can order online, without the middleman.
Happy I could help! Good luck and have fun! 🙂
Hi Bruce,
Very sorry to hear about your poor experience with Ride1UP.
Unfortunately, Covid shortages have made things harder for many brands, especially small ones, so customer support has a hard time dealing with parts or bike replacement.
Either way, I’m happy to hear that you managed to resolve your issue in the end!
Hey Robert, you can switch the headlight on and off by pressing a dedicated button on the left-hand display/controller. On older models, you can do that by pressing the Up Arrow and Mode buttons at the same time.
Thanks for the heads up, Phillip. Axum DP is a good choice as well that we’ll be looking to include in future reviews.
Unfortunately, it costs ~$800 on Amazon, which is significantly higher than most other bikes here. Though one could get it from Walmart for around $500, it’s not always in stock due to shortages.
Cheers!
RadRover 6 is definitely a great choice since this is their sixth version, therefore the most advanced model available!
Janet,
I currently ride a 250W hub motor city eBike (45Nm of torque), I weigh 190lbs and it still climbs some descend climbs with some extra leg-work on the lowest gears. The thing is that 250W has a peak power of 570W.
Check out review of Buzz Bikes. They have an electric trike for $1,699.
Hi Mark
Check out Hollywood Racks – Sport Rider SE for Cargo Bikes
Jim,
Sorry for late answer. Check out Hollywood Racks – Sport Rider for cargo bikes!
Hi Rob. We have gathered a bunch of bikes at under $2,000 range! We’ll consider adding this to the $3,000 list if we are going to make that one day
We try to keep our eyes opened and update this post weekly, but in the meantime you can check out something from more expensive, fat tire electric hunting bikes.
Good point, although, now there’s no Giantnerd but TommasoCycling instead 😉
Jim, that is an awesome idea that you are thinking of doing! A $1,700 budget is where to expect a great hardtail mountain bike for an intermediate trail rider. What kind of riding is she thinking of doing – exploring the trails, or competing?
If she already has a carbon road bike, I’m sure she appreciates a good ride quality, therefore choosing an MTB can be a difficult one as there are quite a few types of mountain bikes to choose between.
If you’d want to max out on the $1,700 budget, I’d prefer to look for a hardtail trail MTB (100-130mm travel on the front).
Hi Elli
Sorry for your loss of expectations. We’ve previously added the Gazelle to Best Class 1 eBikes (Where it belongs – 20mph).
Rad Power Bikes batteries cost around $450 – $550, although that’s definitely something not to worry about as their batteries are rated for 600-800 full charge cycles and there’s a 1-year warranty on the electrical components.
Hi Robert, that’s a lot of gear you are about to haul!
Whether the rear wheel has a Quick-Release or a Thru-Axle system – pretty much any bicycle can be used to tow a specific bike trailer behind it. Although most bicycle trailers are designed for a quick-release hub, the main bike trailer brands also offer an option to connect it with a thru-axle.
So, whenever looking for a trailer, check out its attachment system and make sure if it fits yours.
Good luck!
Hi Gabe
You are not far from right. We have reviewed the Sinch in a more suitable post – Best Folding EBikes Review. Matter of fact, we are going to publish a brand review of Aventon bikes anytime soon, and add their bikes to more of our reviews. Stay tuned
Which bike do you mean – I suppose the Cannondale Bad Boy? We check REI’s selection weekly (if not daily), and seen the Bad Boy 1,2,3 pop up every now and then.
Look for comfort bikes that have a more comfortable entry & upright riding position.
Puncture-resistant tires are indeed a great extra to have. If you’d keep tire pressures up to their recommended range it would minimize the chance of getting a puncture though. Taking off the rear wheel for a puncture repair can be a nuisance on a hub-drive e-bike so why not get an extra set of tires.
It depends how often are you going to use the bike and how heavy are you. The weakest part about used to be the Shimano Tourney derailleur which they have fortunately updated to microSHIFT. Front suspension plays a huge role too, and currently there’s a heavy coil shock which might not be the smoothest, but does its job at its price range. Other than that, I didn’t have major setbacks.
It is best for recreational commuting on mixed terrain and definitely worth its price. If you are planning on updating the parts, take a look at best under $1,000 MTB’s, there’s quite a noticeable gap there.
We’ll be releasing an article for fat tire ebike racks anytime soon!
Good point, Dimitri. We’ve listed bikes that can be used as Class 2 when using the throttle only. We’ll be updating an eBike Laws article soon where we could clarify that.
The 2017 CX3 retailed for $870 new. As the ’17 model had a 3×9 Shimano Deora/Acera/Alivi groupset and hydraulic brakes – which are great, I’d be looking at something around $300-$400 for a used bike that’s been properly maintained.
Hi Liz
Citizen Seoul seems like a decent deal for its low price.
Frame – Not sure about the quality of the alloy frame, but it seems sturdy enough for your weight (Max capacity: 220lbs). Recommended heigth range for the Seoul is 5′ – 6′
Brakes – V-brakes are quite old-school but do the trick for light riding. They might be a good choice at this price range & in the occasion of folding up the bike regulary. Disc brakes are a better alternative among newer bikes.
Gearing is probably not the strong point at this price range which means that it might need some extra tuning every now and then.
In conclusion – if you are planning to use the Seoul for commuting with your kid on the bike – its doable, but probably not as convenient as you can only use the seatpost kids’ seat on it. (Thule Ridealong type).
The electric model London seems to be a great deal for its price. It only weighs 36lbs and the electric assistance can help a ton towards comfortable commutes.
Are you going to take the bike with you on the bus/train?
Hi Peter. E-Bikes are categorized in 3 legal classes. Each state in the US has their own set of rules regards to age limit and helmet compulsory when riding an e-bike.
Class 1 eBikes are equipped with pedal-assist motor only, with a max speed of up to 20mph. Motor power in Class 1 is limited to 750W.
Class 2 eBikes come with the throttle as a standard, while there are many variations that have pedal assistance as well. The speed of Class 2 eBikes is limited to 20mph on both throttle and pedal-assist mode. Same goes for motor power that is limited to 750W.
Class 3 eBikes have a maximum assistance of 28mph. Anything over 750W or 28mph would legally need a license to ride on the road. Those bikes are considered as Class 4 eBikes as long as they have pedals.
We’ll be updating a post about eBike laws this week. Stay tuned!
Did you mean Oyama bikes? Check out Giatnerd.com
700 series can be legally used as Class 2 eBike (when using the Throttle mode as the max speed is limited to 28mph), and as Class 3 eBike when using pedal-assist mode (Pedal-assist max speed is limited to 28mph. We’ll be updating our EBike laws post soon so stay tuned!
I’d look up State Bicycles bike. You’ll get a pretty sweet deal at under $500! They do not have a mountain bike, but you’ll be needing serious luck to score a decent MTB for trails at under $500
Thanks for noting – we updated the obvious!
Bad Boy 3 runs on WTB Byway 650b x 40c clincher tires which means that the tires are tubeless-ready. Cannondale hasn’t provided any information regards the wheels besides that they are Cannondale C2 wheels.
I believe 29×2.4″ is the max among most 29er hardtails, although 2.2″ – 2.3″ should be fine with lower tire pressures. Bear in mind that the geometry is best for XC/Trail which means oversized tires on 29″ wheels can reduce the ride quality quite significally.
Hi Ahmed
Never heard of Gobi Bicycles, nothing come up from the Google search either. What are the components on the bike? If its got a good set of components it might be a custom build, if not – it might be a cheap no-name road bike. By the end of the day, the brand is just a name. What’s important is that if you can use it for your own convenience 🙂
Thanks for pointing that out, we’ll add it to the list!
