Electric Bike Report
Electric Bike Company Model A Review, 2023

May 2023 · John S. Bozick

A casual, low-cost chopper-style cruiser for commuting or coasting along the beach. The iconic Electric Bike Company (EBC) should be well-known to fans of the beach cruiser style. Their e-bike models almost exclusively display the category’s defining retro curves, and all feature upright positioning and big, squishy saddles for long-lasting comfort on casual rides. The

Highs
  • The Model A is affordable! Until the release of this model, Electric Bike Company did not offer an e-bike for less than $2k. We’re happy to see their e-bikes becoming more accessible at a lower price point while still being feature-rich.

  • It offers solid value with a good set of desirable features – including a full package of included commuter-friendly accessories – that is becoming more common on e-bikes in the $1,500 price range.

  • It’s made in the USA! Like all EBC e-bikes, the Model A is assembled at the company’s factory in Newport Beach, California.

  • Reliability! EBC offers a 5-year warranty on the battery, and a 10-year warranty on the frame and motor, meaning that you shouldn’t have any problems – but if you do, you can rest assured that the company will have your back.

  • Tons of safety features! An automatic sensor for the light system, a built-in user agreement in the display, and a default to a deactivated pedal assist system are just a few of its myriad safety-focused elements.

  • The Model A is beautifully simple to operate. With a single-speed drivetrain, an intuitive pedal assist system (PAS), and a throttle, riders can get up to speed easily without worrying about shifting.

  • It ships fully assembled! A quick handlebar adjustment is all that is required before hopping on and taking the bike for a spin!

Lows
  • We love all of the features packed into the Model A (especially at its price) but the separate modules for many of its controls leave the cockpit feeling a little cluttered.

Electric Bike Company Model A Review

Feb 2023

Price: $1499.00 | Model Year: 2023 | The most affordable model from Electric Bike Company, it comes in gloss black, one frame size, and a single speed drivetrain by default. Very high 420lb maximum weight capacity. Lots of customization options including 7-speed, fenders, a front basket, handlebar styles, and custom colors.

Observations
  • The most affordable model from Electric Bike Company, it comes in gloss black, one frame size, and a single speed drivetrain by default. Very high 420lb maximum weight capacity. Lots of customization options including 7-speed, fenders, a front basket, handlebar styles, and custom colors.

  • Powerful 48 volt 12 amp hour battery pack is cross compatible with some of the other EBC models. Sturdy 3.5 amp fast charger with metal body and fan, replaceable fuses. Large 180mm hydraulic disc brakes stop effectively and activate brake light blinking for added visibility. Large puncture-resistant reflective tires.

  • Excellent rear rack, seven bright integrated lights including turn signals, color LCD display and USB charging, cadence sensing pedal assist, and throttle on demand! Optional trigger throttle vs. twist. Default Class 2, but can be unlocked for higher top speeds.

  • Custom configurations are made to order, so there may be a two-week lead time. The bike is completely assembled in Newport Beach California, so there may be shipping charges if you buy direct. Many dealers, excellent warranty and support.
