The battery’s on button isn’t in a highly visible place but is slightly raised so you can find it by touch.

We wisely dismounted on the steepest uphills and also walked one suicidal downhill.

While the Electric Cruiser was lighter than most e-bikes I’ve tested over the years, I would still hate to have to haul it upstairs or lift it onto a car rack. I contacted Kent’s customer kent road bike service about a different issue and an actual human being answered the phone after just a couple of rings. I’m confident if a customer had an issue, they’d quickly try to resolve it.

The Kent Torpedo is the first electric bicycle that I know of designed specifically for children. And it’s so much fun (even for me as a full-fledged adult) that it surely won’t be the last one. The bike comes about 75% pre-assembled, and I only needed to attach the front wheel and fender, handlebars and saddle.

Your bike frame & fork are protected under our Lifetime Warranty policy. There is an old 7.6-mile NORBA Championship course at Unicoi State Park that was abandoned several years ago. Reviews claim this trail is the most wild and most raw ride in the area due to extremely steep ascents and descents, boggy mud, sharp switchbacks, and dangerous washouts. Reviews often mentioned bad batteries, broken bike parts, or other annoying setbacks. Because of this, having a 90-day return policy was extremely important for peace of mind. But after going to the gym and completing several CrossFit workouts each week, the rides became harder and more tedious.
