I purchased two of the white models and have been very impressed with the overall quality, performance, and value for the price.
I noticed one 1-star review where a customer said the bike wouldn’t power on. I experienced the same issue at first, but it turned out to be an easy fix. There is a small red power switch on the frame near the battery charging port that must be turned on before the bike will power up. I assume it’s left in the OFF position during shipping to prevent battery drain, so don’t overlook this step if your bike won’t turn on.
I spent nearly two months researching e-bikes before deciding on the Apias, and I’m glad I did. I especially like the 24-inch wheels, which make the bike easier for shorter riders to mount and dismount while still providing the feel and stability of a full-size bike.
The bike has plenty of power, and the battery life has exceeded my expectations. After an 8-mile ride, the battery indicator still showed a full charge.
Assembly was straightforward. The bike arrived about 85% assembled, and it took me about an hour to finish. There are also several helpful YouTube videos that walk you through the process.
Overall, this has been an excellent purchase. If you’re looking for a well-built, comfortable, and affordable e-bike, I would highly recommend this one. Buy with confidence!
