TST TS-01 Electric Bike Review: Can It Really Go 50 Miles on One Charge?

The TST Electric Bike offers really good value for people who want to save money but still get a decent electric bike. For under $460, you get a bike that can go 30 miles per hour and travel up to 50 miles when you pedal along with the motor. That's enough for most people's daily trips to work or rides around town. The step-through frame means you don't have to swing your leg way up high to get on, which makes it easy for anyone to use. The bike comes with nice extras like a rack on the back for groceries or a backpack, and fenders that keep water and mud off you when the road is wet.

This bike is best for people who ride to work or school every day, or folks who like taking relaxed rides around their neighborhood. If you live in a place with some hills but nothing too crazy steep, this bike will handle it fine. The battery pops right out so you can bring it inside to charge, which is perfect if you live in an apartment or park your bike outside. The app connection is a cool bonus that lets you see where you've ridden and how far you went. With seven gears to choose from, you can find the right setting whether you're going fast on flat roads or climbing gentle hills.

However, this bike isn't perfect for everyone. If you need to carry it up stairs a lot, the 62-pound weight will get tiring quickly. People who want to ride serious mountain bike trails should look at bikes built stronger for rough terrain. The battery is smaller than many other electric bikes, so if you take really long trips over 50 miles, you might run out of power. You'll also need to buy lights separately since they don't come built-in. And if you want a bike that folds up small for your car trunk or tight storage space, this isn't the right choice since it stays full-size all the time.
