Electric Bike Company Model E Review

Jan 2024

Price: $1699.00 | Model Year: 2022 | High quality, fairly affordable, step-thru cruiser ebike with 24

Observations
  • High quality, fairly affordable, step-thru cruiser ebike with 24" or 26" wheels, wide stable balloon tires, and highly adjustable stem and handlebar. Assembled and customized in America, great customer service, industry leading five year comprehensive warranty! Ships fully assembled, 100% ready to ride on day one. Extra emphasis on charger and battery quality, lots of battery capacity upgrades for long-range riding or heavy throttle use. High 350lb max weight rating.

  • Comes standard with bright integrated lights and reflective puncture-resistant tires. You can order optional paint-matched fenders with reflective rubber ends. Optional rear rack and front basket add utility (both rated at 50lbs). Powerful 180mm hydraulic disc brakes with dual piston calipers, adjustable-reach levers, and motor inhibitors. Premium branded saddle and black or brown locking grips.

  • 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. Long steel handlebar, vibration-dampening steel fork, and high-volume tires provide good comfort, but EBC also sells an optional seat post suspension for further comfort.

  • Purpose built frame hides wires and cables, the battery completely disappears into the downtube, but the frame only comes in one size. Shipping costs $199 extra, unless you're able to visit their headquarters in Newport Beach California to buy in person. The 7-speed drivetrain, custom paint, racks, alarm system, and other extras all cost extra. The frame-mounted headlight doesn't turn as you steer, kickstand causes pedal lock, no bottle cage bosses.

Electric Bike Company, Model E Review, 2023

May 2023 · Forrest Woolman

A Quality Cruiser E-Bike Customized to Your Liking in the U.S.A. In our review of the Electric Bike Company’s Model E cruiser, we’ll go over this bike’s key features and components, and how this well constructed cruiser will gain your adoration, while keeping its value. If you are looking for a high quality cruiser e-bike,

Highs
  • Quality built e-bike for a good price starting price. Other cruisers are available for less money, but EBC puts fine craftsmanship in the design and build of their e-bikes, making them a high quality e-bike.

  • EBC custom builds their bikes for the customer, meaning they can build your bike with more unique features, like frame and wheel colors, gearing, battery capacity and accessories to enhance your ride

  • It’s easily one of the most comfortable e-bikes you’ll find anywhere. Frame ergonomics, upright riding posture, handlebar reach, pedals, and cushy seat all add up to a nice ride.

  • Weight capacity of 420 lbs means this bike can carry 80-100 lbs more than most any other cruiser out there. This is great for heavier riders, and riders who need to carry cargo.

  • A 10 year warranty on the motor is the best we’ve seen for motors, indicating manufacturer’s confidence in their product, so the buyer can be confident, too.

  • Fast charging! A 3.5 amp super charger charges battery in 2-3 hours, not 6-8 hours like many others.

Lows
  • The single-gear of our test model felt a little limited. Fortunately, it’s one of the many upgrade options and we’d recommend the 7-speed drivetrain.
