which is way more than most ebikes that are rated for 250lbs To help protect the bike when parked, theres a built-in alarm system, similar to a car alarm, that will sound a siren if the frame is jostled, its a neat little extra and you get a wireless remote to arm and disarm the system Cons: These bikes are a bit heavier at 56.8lbs (without the fenders and baskets) because they come with a sturdy welded-on rear rack, integrated battery charger, longer handlebars, fatter tires, and bigger comfort-oriented saddle and grips Youll probably rely on the throttle and electric assist more heavily because they only come with one gear, that keeps the bike simple but makes it difficult to start from standstill without a bit of help and could be a real bummer if you drain the battery all the way down to zero I like how the kickstand looks, appreciate the adjustable length, and feel that it supports the bike well, but it is positioned in the center of the frame so you could get pedal lock when reversing the bike The fork, handlebar, chain cover, and optional fenders are all made from Steel which is strong and tends to be quiet, but can start to rust if it gets scratched, the optional front basket is aluminum alloy (along with the main frame and integrated rear rack) Minor consideration, the headlight does not point where you steer because its mounted to the head tube or front basket by default, this can be a little disorienting when making sharp turns in the dark The frame only comes in one size, but at least theres a step-thru and high-step option, as well as an adjustable-angle stem to dial in fit Despite the double-tube design of the step-thru frame, there is still some frame flex when you pedal hard or turn quickly, the rear-mounted battery and motor make the bike rear-heavy and contribute to this flex You can angle the display to reduce glare but it isnt removable, this means that it could get scratched at the rack or take more weather wear when parking outside I think the integrated battery charger is neat, but it only offers a basic 2amp flow and might take a bit longer for the big battery option, you need to spend even more money ($99) to buy a stand-alone charger if you want to charge the battery off-bike but at least it puts out 5amps which will fill the pack super fast Be careful with the right side of the rear axle because the motor cable protrudes here and could get snagged or bent if the bike tips over, this is a design vulnerability than many hub motors experience and just something to be considerate of Minor consideration, with extra-long handlebars like this, the bike just cannot fit between cars or through doors as easily and might scrape them if you arent especially careful I recommend turning the bike off when walking it so you dont accidentally activate the throttle or pedal assist Resources: Official Site: Reader Interactions To run the forums, host the website, and travel, I charge a universal service fee for my reviews

Most of the brakes and gears come pre-tuned from the factory, but if you're buying it and it's shipped to you, things can get jostled in shipping, which may unadjust the pre tuning from factories
