This small yet powerful bike has a robust 500W motor, allowing for quick acceleration and a top throttle speed of 20 mph. Its 614 Wh battery holds enough power to travel long distances, huffy bikes impressively traveling 27.5 miles in our throttle-only range test. The bike handles well for a folding model, with good stability at high speeds and predictable steering.
While it isn’t a class leader for its range, the 614Wh battery provides enough juice for most purposes, and this bike’s unique dual battery capability (optional for an additional fee) can double your range. Rolling on 24-inch wheels, this long, heavy bike is impressively stable with steady, predictable handling. The seated position is comfortable and upright, with a wide range of seat and handlebar adjustments to suit riders of varying heights.

Our least favorite part of the 700-Series was the extra time and effort we put into the assembly. This bike comes less assembled than others we’ve tested, and all the additional features take longer to assemble during the initial unboxing. However, this is a one-time task so we wouldn’t base our final purchase decision on this factor. Also, its above-average weight means it doesn’t feel the most nimble, but we found it easily maneuverable in most situations. Ultimately, we were impressed by the power, range, comfort, smooth ride, and included features of the 700-Series, not to mention the competitive price. It is perfect for around-town commutes, errand runs, or outdoor adventures.
With 3-inch wide knobby tires and a suspension fork, it provides a relatively smooth ride and can be ridden on a range of surfaces. We also love how easy this bike is to use straight out of the box. It comes almost completely assembled and takes little time and effort to set up and start riding. The Blix Packa Genie looks identical to the original Packa but comes with upgrades like a more powerful motor and a larger battery. The 750W motor brings it up to speed and has no problem pushing Class 2 speeds up to 20 mph using the throttle or pedal assist.
This is a classic cruiser with a front basket, a built-in rear rack, a cup holder, and a matching set of fenders to keep you dry. It features a coaster (aka pedal-back or foot brake) that is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. That space in the middle would be perfect for a battery pack and a mid drive electric motor. I see lots of people with customized Super 73 type e-bikes that look like mopeds or café racers, this would be the chopper equivalent. The last things to consider are ease of use features and included accessories vs. accessories that come as a separate purchase.
There are also several options regarding motor size and placement. Larger motors generally produce more torque, accelerate faster, and easily support higher speeds. Hub-drive motors are located in the center of one of the wheels (typically the rear wheel) and transfer power directly to the wheel where it is mounted. These are more affordable, easier to maintain, and do not add as much wear and tear to bike components. However, their single-gear ratio makes them less efficient, and it’s more difficult to change or repair tires.
