Review on Ride In Style: JOYSTAR 20/26 Inch Fat Tire Chopper Electric Bike For Adults With 350W/500W Power - Perfect Beach Cruiser Bike! by Rico Dantzler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprisingly good! Worth the buy for a pre-teen for sure.

What a great e-bike! I have a Velotric e-bike for myself, but my 12yo son has wanted an e-bike for years as well. Now that he's old enough/tall enough for one, and now that I have one myself, I needed something that would grow with him as he enters the next few years of sporadic growth spurts. He'll almost certainly end up taller than me, but this bike is surprisingly comfortable, especially due to the chopper-style design, even for his 5'3" not-skinny mom with chronic pain issues. It was easy to put together, but that was likely more because I just assembled my own a couple of months ago. otherwise, the instructions would have been a bit difficult to follow without additional research.The holographic coating is easy to scratch off, unfortunately, and the fenders/mudguards feel flimsy and cheap. The mirrors that came with it are great and easy to attach, but there are no actual lights - only reflectors. You'll need to buy your own lights, especially since these bikes are primarily for riding on roads or on trails, and you'll need actual lights in both cases (sometimes required by local laws).This is a Christmas present for the kid, so I won't have any feedback yet on the ride itself, but will update this review once he and I have had a chance to ride together.TL;DR - GREAT buy for older kids. Adults - you're better off looking for something that will last longer at only slightly higher price points.UPDATE: The kiddo had his first ride on the bicycle - nothing too far, but he LOVED it. The ride was incredibly smooth, and once he had the correct height on the seat, he had no trouble reaching anything while leaning back in the seat correctly. (He’s about 4’10”, for reference.) Very happy with this purchase, as is he, and for that reason, I bumped to 5*. For the price, the minor gripes really aren’t worth losing a whole star over.
