Reviewed by certified buyer AC B – 5.0 out of 5.0:
I ordered a model R, there are not enough words to properly describe just how great this bike is.
I decided to pick up my new bike when it was ready since it’s not too far (65 miles) from my home. Everyone I ran into was super nice, and I could tell they all love working there, and dare I say believe in their product. I received a great unhurried tutorial when they brief on all the features of the bike.
Now on to the bike; so much fun, stable, quiet, and powerful. I’ve been on 6 rides as of this review, at over 20 miles each ride. Great range and also great power. I can’t get the smile off my face. Riding on the bike paths, surely I can pass anyone at will. Hills, winds, HA, HA, there is no such thing.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Thanks to everyone one at the factory and the showrooms. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!! Btw, I’m a 61 year old man, slightly overweight, with some medical issues; this makes me feel young again. I don’t need to overexert myself, to get out, get fresh air and exercise.
Our opinion:
- The EBC sales service team is well trained to give the owner a warm welcome and briefing all the features of the bike.
- The ride performance is powerful and also speedy as per owner feedback.
- The assembly quality provided by the EBC team is superb, hence getting the owner 100% satisfaction on the ride.
Reviewed by certified buyer, Tom S – 5.0 out of 5.0:
I received my bike two weeks ago ahead of the estimated shipping date by at least two weeks. It came fully assembled as promised and I am impressed with the quality.
I especially like the bigger tires and suspension on it as I will be doing a lot of riding on hilly pastures and fields. The thumb throttle is very nice to for giving an extra boost when needed on a hill. I got the 7 speed model and I found the shifting to be easy and smooth.
I would recommend this bike because I feel it is a great value for the price.
Our Opinion:
- The delivery days were shorter than expected.
- The buyer was happy with the assembly quality provided by the EBC service team.
- Model R performed well in the hilly area.
- The gear shifting and the throttle is easy to use when riding up and down the hills.
Reviewed by certified buyer Maria Dicken – 5.0 out of 5.0:
We looked at so many Electric Bikes and by far this company was the most helpful. I completely recommend you go and rent an e-bike from them before purchasing. They have several kinds to choose from and you need one that’s a good fit for you.
Their bikes are made here, not in China and have a good warranty. The staff is very helpful and will guide you through the whole process. There’s no doubt they are the best! It’s an investment and you won’t be disappointed. We bought two R’s and love them.
Our Opinion:
- The buyer advice to test ride the electric bike before you can choose the right one.
- EBC gives a 5 year warranty on battery and 10 year warranty on new electric bikes and components against manufacturing defects or material fatigue.
- The buyer is particularly about the value of the product and seller’s service, that is why she picked EBC.

Electric bikes have become so popular and they can indeed make life so much easier for anybody that wants to use their bike on a more regular basis for non-creative uses, like cycling to work. The Model R step through cruiser seems like the perfect choice for multiple uses. I wish this bike was available outside the USA and at a price that would be better suited for my budget. Great review.
