For what's it's worth, I bought a GoTrax bike on clearance at Target for around $270 - originally $900. Granted it's a different model bike, but in my opinion I would say it's barely worth $270. Don't let the disc brakes fool you / it's mechanical and on my bike they were horrible. Highly inadequate and I'd go so far as to say it was dangerous.
This is also the first e-bike I've seen that didn't have a digital display. Don't get me wrong, it's better than a regular bike but it's an overall poor experience.
for reference I own 2 e-bikes - an LECTRIC and Velotric which granted are more expensive but a world of difference. I commute 12 miles to work daily. Moving from cadence sensor to torque sensor is a massive difference too. Gotrax's PAS( peddle assist) is pretty mediocre. 350 watts is basically the weakest motor you'd find on an e-bike. With all that said $300 is probably what it's actually worth and not more. Don't expect too much range either. The battery is pretty small and if you use the throttle only you can expect a vastly shorter range. Realistically you might get around 10ish miles or less. Depending on your weight and if you encounter hills it could be less.

That's the wheel size, not the frame. The " specifications" list it for 5' 1" to 6' 5", but I'd say like most of their bikes, it's probably a medium frame, so mid 5'- 6'.

Community Reviews

This Gotrax commuter e bike looks like a budget starter ride best suited to short trips and first time buyers. The 10.4 amp hour battery, throttle, disc brakes, and easy assembly make it feel more complete than the listing suggests, and the heavy frame and well packed shipping add to the impression of solid build quality. Range is modest, with the battery built into the frame and replacement options likely harder to source. Fit also looks limited, with the 26 inch sizing and tall rider clearance raising questions for larger riders, making it a practical low cost commuter rather than a long range machine.

  • The bike can serve as a practical starter e-bike for short commutes and first-time riders.

    markernst

  • The low purchase price can reduce financial risk if the bike does not work out for commuting.

    kigmatzomat

  • The bike may be cheaper than replacing a worn battery and tires on an older e-bike.

    elbercho

  • The bike includes disc brakes and can be assembled easily with well-packed packaging.

    formeremployee

  • The battery capacity is reportedly lower than the listing suggests, which can limit real-world range.

    formeremployee

  • Range claims appear inconsistent across the ad, which can make advertised mileage unreliable.

    slowmo

  • The throttle reportedly requires power assist to operate, and braking or back-pedaling disables power.

    formeremployee

  • The battery is integrated into the frame for a flush look, which can make replacement options harder to find.

Decent deal for a starter bike. Low aH so you aren't going to get huge miles, but nice for short commutes and your first e-bike.
The color looks like it is the luminescent glow in the dark. Would be cool if it was!

A 26-inch bike usually fits people who are between 4'10" (147 cm) and 5'7" (170 cm) tall. This size is common for teenagers, smaller adults, and riders of average height who want good balance and control.

It's a class 2 so there should be a throttle somewhere.

This thing is probably exactly what you expect from a $300 ebike. Everything is at best meh except for the price. The price means if you decide an ebike is not for you, you aren't out much cash. And if you do decide ebikes are great, when this breaks or you upgrade you still got your money's worth.

And tbh, the base components for ebikes have been around long enough that this could last a couple years. OK, the battery is probably gonna suck after three hundred charge cycles but if you are using this daily you'll develop more stamina to offset it or you can justify an upgrade.

I have a 15+ year old ebike with the same battery and motor specs. Used it to commute 20 miles to work. It is still a decent ride. At this price it's cheaper to get this than to replace the battery and tires!

Finally a cheap e-bike that offers a worry-free return (unlike Ali). Wish the battery was bigger. Anyone with decent knowledge of these things know if the battery is generic/standardized, and is a cheap(ish) larger capacity battery available?

26" means the wheel but the frame size can be different to accommodate all sizes of riders.that is not a 26" frame size just 26" wheels.frame actually looks on the smaller side.specs list this as a 26" frame but trust me its more a 17" or 19"

Just an FYI, some commuter busses may not allow e-bikes or e-scooters.
