Not the manufacturer

AMYET, VTUVIA, EUNORAU and Velotric are trademarks of their respective owners. Ebike Rider is an independent publication, not the official website of any brand it covers, and not a dealer: we cannot help with orders, warranty or returns.

We have not ridden or tested these bikes

Nobody at Ebike Rider has ridden, weighed, timed, loaded or measured any of the 22 bikes on this site. We say so on every review, and we say it here as plainly as we can.

Our assessments are analysis of published specifications, product data and pricing, set out on the how we review page: good at catching claims that cannot be true and specifications left out, and unable to tell you how a bike feels.

Every figure is a merchant claim with a date

Specifications, prices and performance claims here are transcribed from merchant listings and product data on the dates shown; they change without notice. Claims are attributed, never rewritten as fact; where a brand publishes nothing we print "Not published". Verify every figure that matters to you on the merchant's own page before you buy: that page is the authority, not this one.

Range and speed claims are best cases

A published range figure is a best case: a light rider, flat ground, mild weather, low assist, a new battery and no throttle. Real range depends on rider and cargo weight, gradient, wind, temperature, surface, tire pressure, assist level and battery age. Any estimate we publish is arithmetic from a published capacity and shown as arithmetic. Do not plan a journey on either kind of number without a wide margin.

Top speed claims are the same. AMYET lists the V9-G60 at up to 32 MPH and the EB26 at up to 28 MPH: claims about what the machine can do, not about what is safe or lawful where you ride.

Riding an electric bike carries real risk

These are heavy, quick machines — from a claimed 60 lb to a claimed 110 lb before you sit on them — and riding one carries a genuine risk of serious injury or death, to you and to others.

Wear a helmet that fits, every time. Ride within your ability and within the limits of your brakes, which are not the limits of the motor. Maintain the bike to the manufacturer's schedule, and treat pads, rotors and tire pressure as the safety items they are.

Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, and where 28 or 32 MPH sits

Most US states use a three-class framework. Class 1 is pedal assist only, cutting out at 20 MPH. Class 2 adds a throttle, still capped at 20 MPH. Class 3 is pedal assist up to 28 MPH, usually without throttle assistance above 20 MPH, and commonly carries extra rules on age, helmets and path access.

A bike listed at up to 28 MPH is Class 3 territory in states that recognise the framework. A bike listed at up to 32 MPH sits outside that framework altogether in most states, where a vehicle capable of it may not count as a bicycle at all. Some bikes ship limited to 20 MPH and can be unlocked in software, a decision whose consequences fall on the rider.

Speed caps, wattage limits, helmet rules, ages and path access vary by state, county and city, and trail rules are often stricter than road rules. None of this is legal advice: confirm what is legal where you ride, before you buy.

Battery and charging safety

Charge the battery with the charger supplied for it, on a hard surface, away from exits and anything flammable. Do not charge a pack that has been crashed, dropped, swollen or submerged until the manufacturer confirms it is safe, and do not modify the pack or the controller.

UL 2271 certifies the battery pack. UL 2849 certifies the complete electrical system — battery, charger, controller and motor tested together — the broader test, and the one a growing number of US cities and building managers require before you may charge indoors. They are not interchangeable, and a certification held by one model says nothing about the one beside it.

Weight limits are a safety figure

A maximum payload is an engineering limit covering rider, clothing, cargo and anything strapped to a rack — not a suggestion, and not a comfort rating. Exceeding it loads frame, wheels, spokes, tires and brakes beyond what they were designed for.

Published payloads here run from 286 lb to 350 lb, and the EUNORAU FLASH 2.0 publishes none at all, which leaves nothing to check against. A rating quoted for one component, such as a rear shock, is not the bike's limit. If you are near a ceiling, do the sum with your cargo included and ask the brand: the guide for heavier riders covers this.

Limitation of liability

This site is provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ebike Rider accepts no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising from use of, or reliance on, anything published here, or from any purchase made through an outbound link. Your contract of sale is with the merchant; the terms of use set out the full position.
