Electric Bike Co. Model C Review - We read the reviews so you don’t have to.
Step-over electric bike, 48V12-36Ah1250W, 60-200mile range, city, cargo, front suspension, seat suspension, 24/26x2.1”, swept-back handlebars, rear drive, hydraulic disk brakes, weight 58lbs, cargo (rider+cargo+bike) 420lbs, inseam For 24″ 30.3″
For 26″: 31″.
The following points have been compiled from various reviews. When you read a bike’s reviews, patterns can be seen.
Strengths
• Attention to detail, stainless steel nuts, bolts and washer to prevent rust, demonstrated that their design and build would yield a product that would last. Hydraulic disc brakes are similar to those on motor cycles. These provide excellent control and stopping ability. The bikes comes assembled, tested and ready to ride.
• I am 6’4” and the bike fits me just fine. It’s so sturdy and well built that I have no doubt it will last a lifetime.
• It is a truly amazing product, very well built, you can see and feel the quality of the build.
Weaknesses
• At level 5 pedal assist, the motor tends to surge on/off power. A lot. Finding a cadence that keeps the power smooth is nearly impossible. It is perfectly fine from level 1-4. It also tops out at 24mph, even hammering downhill with a tailwind. I thought 28mph was it's top speed. The cover for the charging cord simply will not stay closed, and the slightest bump/vibration opens it.
Important Specifications When Comparing Bikes
Recommended Rider Height: 5’2″ – 6’10”

The higher the EPI, the denser, more supple and lighter the casing is and thus the higher the quality of the tire. Lower EPI casing provides better puncture protection but makes for a stiffer and heavier tire. https://www.schwalbetires.com/ |
