AYOLNY M10 Electric Mountain Bike: Is This 55-Mile Range E-Bike Worth It?

The AYOLNY M10 electric bike is a budget-friendly option that gives you a lot of bike for under $400. With its 750-watt motor, you get enough power to climb hills and ride on different types of paths. The bike can go 55 miles on one charge according to the maker, though you'll probably get less in real life - maybe 30 to 40 miles depending on how much you use the motor. It charges up in just 3 to 4 hours which is faster than many e-bikes. The bike comes with safety lights built in and a screen that shows your speed and battery level. It's tested and certified for safety which is important when buying cheaper e-bikes.

This bike works best for people who want to ride around their neighborhood, go to the park, or make short trips to the store. It's also good for someone buying their first electric bike who doesn't want to spend a lot of money. The bike can hold riders up to 330 pounds and has both a throttle button and pedal assist mode. You can ride it like a regular bike, use just the motor, or pedal with help from the motor. The aluminum frame is lightweight but strong, and the front shock absorber helps smooth out bumps on rough roads. At 20 miles per hour max speed, it's perfect for bike paths and neighborhood streets.

The bike does have some downsides to consider. It only has shocks on the front wheel, so riding on very bumpy trails might be uncomfortable. It doesn't fold up, so you'll need space to store it. The bike is missing some helpful add-ons like fenders to keep water and mud off you when it's wet, and there's no rack on the back for carrying bags. The battery is smaller than more expensive e-bikes, so the 55-mile range might be optimistic. If you need to ride long distances every day, want to go really fast, or plan to ride on very rough mountain trails, you might want to look at bikes with bigger batteries and better suspension systems.
