2021 Electric Bike Company

Model R

The Model S is easy to get the hang of. Whether you’re an experienced e-biker or not, chances are you’re going to get the hang of riding this bike very quickly.

The large amount of customization, upgradable parts and additional accessories allowed us to set up the Model S exactly the way we wanted to.

The Model S should stand the test of time. It’s clear a lot of thought and passion has gone into this e-bike.

The 500W motor provides very smooth engagement. Electric Bike Company says this motor should last at least 18 years.

The riding position of the Model S is very comfortable. Throughout many test miles not one of our riders ever felt uncomfortable.

The battery range of the 48V, 18Ah battery impressed us.

The colored LCD display provides a lot of information in a way that’s easy to understand and interact with.

The Model S may be a little heavy for those needing to lift it onto a bike rack or up stairs, and the rack-top placement of the battery combined with (in our case) the weight of the optional basket shifts the center of gravity a bit higher. It feels fine in corners, but it is something to note as you add accessories.

A sturdy and powerful step-thru cruiser electric bike that's assembled and customized in America. Extremely well supported with great customer service and an industry leading five year comprehensive warranty! Ships fully assembled, 100% ready to ride on day one. Extra emphasis on charger and battery quality here with extra fuses and higher quality parts.

Comes standard with bright integrated lights (two 6-LED lights on the rear!) and reflective puncture-resistant tires that improve visibility and safety. The optional rack comes with a blinking rear-light pre-installed. Powerful 180mm hydraulic disc brakes with thick 2.3mm rotors, quad piston calipers, and large adjustable-reach levers with motor inhibitors are almost overkill for a cruiser but help to manage the higher possible speeds and heavier build.

Highly adjustable drive modes offer Class 1, 2, or 3 operation (pedal assist, throttle, and 28mph options). The variable speed trigger throttle is easy to use and the sealed 12-magnet cadence sensor performs consistently. Extra large saddle, long steel handlebar, and high-volume balloon tires provide impressive comfort, but EBC also sells an optional seat post and suspension fork upgrade for further comfort.

Amazing range of upgrade options include high capacity battery pack for extended range (20ah vs. 10.5ah), paint matched steel fenders and chain cover (or real wood), MIK compatible rear rack, cup holder and waterproof speakers, bags and custom-painted baskets... Price jumps considerably if you change from the stock white color, shipping costs extra, the headlight does not point where you steer, steel parts can rust if scratched (but they include touch-up paint).
