Jasion EB5 Electric Mountain Bike Review: Is This the Perfect Budget Commuter?

The Jasion EB5 is a good starter electric bike that gives you solid features without spending too much money. For $699.99, you get a bike that can go 40 miles on one charge, has a removable battery you can charge anywhere, and comes with lights already installed. The 500W motor is not super powerful but it gets you to 20 miles per hour which is fine for riding around town. The bike weighs about 50 pounds which is lighter than many electric bikes, making it easier to move around when you are not riding it.

This bike works best for people who want to ride to work or school in the city, or folks who like cruising around the neighborhood on weekends. The 7 gears and front shock absorber make the ride smooth on bumpy roads. You get 4 different ways to ride - you can pedal with help from the motor, use just the throttle without pedaling, pedal like a regular bike, or use walk mode to push it up hills. The screen shows you how fast you are going and how much battery is left. If you ride less than 20 miles to work, this bike should get you there and back with battery to spare.

The EB5 is not the right choice if you want to ride fast or carry heavy loads. The bike can only hold people up to 264 pounds total including any bags or cargo. The motor is not strong enough for serious mountain biking or steep hills. It does not fold up so you cannot take it on the bus or store it in a small apartment easily. The bike also does not have UL certification which some people care about for safety. If you need more power, longer range, or the ability to haul lots of stuff, you should look at bikes that cost more money.
