Retailing for under $700 (around £515/AU$970), the Kent Electric Cruiser was created for them. Mid-drive motors, unlike hub motors, actually power the bike through the standard gears on a bicycle. Mid-drive motors are one of the two most common electric bike drivetrains, with the other being hub motors. Most low-cost electric bicycles use hub motors – or a motor housed in the center of a wheel – simply because they are cheap and easy. The team at Homewood will be happy to discuss your requirements and advise on the right Batribike model for you. Dick's offers free in-store assembly for all bikes purchased in-store or online. The battery’s performance can be effected by its environment. The Kent 700C step-thru e-bike has a great and powerful motor with 8 speeds comparing to the price. You are paying less than $900, but you are getting a great electric bike. You can choose your preferred speed with 3 assist modes. After adjusting the brake, reinspect the brake pads, centering, and brake lever travel. If the brake pads are no longer square to the rim, repeat brake pad adjustments.

We have staff that live in Kent, so delivery and return of bikes can be arranged at ease. My son loved the color options and how sturdy it was to ride. I mean, of course, he was obsessed with how fast he could go but even without the electric aspect, it’s a great bike.
