I'm looking for an ebike and the Bee Cool seems to stand out from the rest. Duel suspension, hydraulic brakes, 750 w motor, 7 speed gearing, 28 mph top speed, made in Taiwan not China, 48v 21 A battery. Seems like a good deal for $1700. They are adding a free trailer to the package now. Opinions? I should add that I'm 6'1" 200 lbs in reasonable shape for a 72 year old. Riding mostly on paved bike trail and dirt tow path so mostly level terrain.

Take a look at Lectric as well.....I love my XP 2.0....their new bikes look good as well.......well made......price is right....good customer service.
Yeah I looked at the XP 3.0 which their user quiz recommended for me based on my input but I think it looks like a toy and the range is not great. It would probably work for me but I like the style of the bigger bikes better.
Just took a look at the XPremium and that one looks more to my liking. Although it's got the mid-drive motor which I'm not sure about the reliability of that type. 100 mile max range claimed and 50 with motor alone. It looks like it folds up too. Something to think about.

As long as you're fine with the larger wheels.
They take up lots of storage room when the ebike is not ridden and makes them more difficult to transport with cars.
$1699 with a free trailer is a very good deal, I wonder how much the shipping cost is?

I have the bee cool explorer, and as far I know its the only full suspension bike under the $2k price. I have had mine since last september, and have 400 plus miles on it. Really love the bike. No issues so far with it. Great range with that huge battery, for me easily over 50 miles. If you havent done an ebike before, these fat tire type are all huge. They are sorta like a small dirt bike in size and they weigh 70 pounds or so. The only thing I didnt care for were the stock handle bars are low and forward. I added a riser and some new bars with a rise in them as well, and now it is a much more comfortable riding position now.

Good day. I have the Pathfinder stepover. I'm 5'10" at 180 lbs. at 62 years. I picked my Bee Cool bike up in September of 2022. Not many miles on it, but when the weather breaks I will be riding to and from work with it. The only con I can say about this bike is that it is heavy. As long as you don't have to pick up and carry you should be fine. I really like mine. Just go over the bike when you assemble it. Check everything. All nits and bolts. It will get you knowledge of how everything works. All I had to adjust was the brakes pads. I just used a piece of paper folded in half to set distance from pad to rotor. I did install an adjustable handle bar neck to bring bar up and back to me. Much better of an upright seating position. Over all I recommend this Bee Cool Pathfinder stepover. Mine was 1,499. 00. Free shipping (Don't forget to buy yourself a helmet and a mirror). Highly recommended.
