The Propella Mini is a rolling reminder that sometimes less is more. Less can be cheaper; less can be lighter; and sometimes, less can just be more fun. In this Propella Mini review, we dive into this super affordable, super simplistic and super quirky electric bike to see how it performs in the real world. […]
Probably one of the most purely fun e-bikes I’ve ridden. It feels like a BMX bike with an e-bike motor.
Surprisingly comfortable for such an unorthodox frame design.
The LCD display is very simple but very effective. It’s easy to read in all types of light.
The Shimano Tourney TX mechanical disk brakes do a wonderfully good job of controlling speed.
At first glance it may give clown bike vibes, but its oddball looks have really grown on our reviewing team.
We’re really big fans of the handling. The small 20-inch wheels make it nimble in corners but the long wheelbase and balanced riding position make it stable at speed.
The Bafang 250W motor feels appropriately sized. The bike is quick but it doesn’t reach astronomical speeds — a good thing for this one.
While the 36V, 7Ah battery helps keep costs low, it does leave the Mini with a shorter range than many other bikes in the sub-$1,000 category.
The 46t x 16t gear ratio felt good on the hills but left me spinning quite quickly at higher speeds. The Mini might benefit from a taller gear if you live in a flat area.
