Cybervelo EK4black 1000W Folding Electric Bike Review: Can It Really Go 80 Miles?

The Cybervelo EK4 folding electric bike gives you a lot of bike for not much money. At $649, you get a really strong 1000W motor that zooms up to 30+ MPH and a giant battery that lasts 80 miles. That's enough to ride all week without charging if you have a short trip to work. The bike folds up which is perfect if you live in a small apartment or want to take it on the train. The fat tires are chunky and wide so you can ride on beaches, through snow, or on dirt trails without worrying. The LCD screen shows you how fast you're going and how much battery is left.

This bike is best for people who need to get to work every day and want to save money on gas or bus tickets. It's also great if you live in a city apartment and need a bike that folds small. The long range means you won't get stuck with a dead battery far from home. Weekend riders will love taking this to the beach or on bike trails because the fat tires handle sand and bumps really well. The fold-up design means you can throw it in your car and drive to fun places to ride. People who weigh more will appreciate the sturdy carbon steel frame.

This bike isn't the best choice if you want the lightest bike possible - the steel frame makes it heavier than aluminum bikes. If you need to carry lots of groceries or heavy stuff, look for a bike with a cargo rack because this one doesn't have one. Serious mountain bikers might want a bike with front and back suspension for really rough trails. You'll need to buy lights separately if you ride when it's dark outside. Some people want UL certified bikes for extra safety testing, and this one doesn't have that stamp. But if you want tons of power and range without spending $1,500 or more, this bike gives you amazing value.
