Joyride Urban

Good value $600 ebike for Victorian, if you buy it from the website. I got mine from eBay auction, so I'm not sure if it's from the same business. But they list the bike for the same price, with some low starting bid. Shipping is fix at $200.
https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?sid=tristanvs&_pgn=1&isRe…

The closest spec ebike online is the SKIRON ELECTRIC BIKE
https://horizonmicromobility.com/collections/all-electric-bi…

The only difference in spec is the battery. I think the battery spec on the Skiron is more realistic. The urban ebike also use a torque sensor, which is a plus. The seller on eBay must have just started selling, because it took a week and half before the bike was shipped. Just got the bike today, and it's pretty nice for the price. The gears indexing will need a little adjustment. Note I'm 170cm and the bike feel a bit big. So anyone shorter need not apply.

You can buy from the website and may get the stated warranty. I choose eBay because it's a little cheaper, but I expect to get eBay warranty.

    No idea about electric bikes … but a integrated battery would be a no go for me. A replacement will be impossible. But great price.

      It is a $500 bike. What do you think replacement batteries cost?

      A bargain if genuine Samsung 14Ah battery, and the 51cm frame suits. (165-180cm tall?)

      • oddities on 01/07/2024 - 21:10

        I plan to rebuild the battery if it die. Replacement battery is impossible to source. But maybe the battery for this bike will suit.

          That one looks like the battery pack just slides into the downtube from under the bottom bracket.
          Does the Joyride bike do the same? In which case it should not be too hard to replace.
          Easier than the ones where the battery has an alloy case that becomes part of the frame. That style is easy to remove so battery can be kept indoors, but adds weight.

        So not just a disposable battery, but a fully disposable bike when the batteries gone?

        So much waste.

        • bargaino on 01/07/2024 - 23:31

          I'd hope it is sold to someone who will repack the battery or at least use it for parts.

    16.5kg is incredibly light for an ebike with a 500wh battery…

    • geshc on 01/07/2024 - 19:49

      My fiido x is 17kg and has a similar battery capacity so it's possible!

    • oddities on 01/07/2024 - 21:00

      500wh is very optimistic. Don't believe all you read

      • geshc on 01/07/2024 - 21:35

        how long is your range? That's a good way to know if it's 7Ah battery or 15Ah

    one size? 51cm frame it says.. that is pretty small.

    Doesnt look like a 'joyride'… no shock absorbers, no mud flaps, no lights. very barebone.

    • donm on 01/07/2024 - 21:48
      +2

      You can't expect too much for the price.
      Shock absorbers would add unnecessary weight for a lot of use cases.
      Fenders and lights can be added. Not sure if it's got fender mounts though.

        FYI I think "fender" is what we call mudguards here?

  • clubhonda on 01/07/2024 - 20:12

    Are the handlebars meant to be this low? Pictures of the riders look as if they are almost haunched over the front!

    • donm on 01/07/2024 - 21:44

      Looks like a flat-bar road e-bike to me.
      25mm tyres.

      • oddities on 01/07/2024 - 21:49

        From a distance it looks like a regular bike. But the tell tales, is the rear hub and the control on the handle bar.

    • bargaino on 02/07/2024 - 11:45

      That is how you ride a road bike. You need weight forward so it goes on to the pedals, not the seat, and head down to reduce air resistance.
      Or, you can raise the handlebars to a "sit up and beg" position if you are happy to let the motor do all the work, and not care about speed.

      • meong on 09/07/2024 - 21:41

        People negging you and the questions asked on this deal means that some people just never rode a bike as an adult

      Not designed for fatties?

  • GrantEmmerson on 02/07/2024 - 16:46

    Does anyone who is about 6' tall (183cm) own one of these? I'm curious about how comfortable the bike would be to ride?
    I saw one go through ebay a little while ago and didn't buy it because of the 51cm frame.

    • skysurfer on 02/07/2024 - 21:52

      I watched the 90 second promo video for the bike and a female rider looked on the verge of being too tall for the bike to me, the bike looked small under her. Maybe she was taller than average or Im interpreting it wrong, I dunno.

        I lowered the saddle to the lowest it would go. I'm 170, and I feel the bike is a little too big for me. Pedaling is fine, but I have to get off the saddle to stop safely. I have to plan my stop, so I can have one foot on the curb.

        • 8azinga on 03/07/2024 - 15:15

          That's interesting as the Joyride is listed as seat tube length of 51cm but the Skiron bike has a medium as 52cm suitable for people 160-180cm and a large with 55cm seat tube suitable for people 175-185cm.

        • meong on 09/07/2024 - 21:40

          Im 175cm and any road bike or gravel bike i have to get of the saddle to stop safely…

          The bike is meant to be ridden that way. Its a common form factor. Go to any bike shops and they will tell you the same thing.

          The only bike i can stop while on the saddle is my MTB but that is a different geometry with dropper post.

  • williamk30 on 05/07/2024 - 18:02

    Ordered on the 2nd, it's been 4 days and still no update on shipment.

    • 8azinga on 05/07/2024 - 19:52

      OP said it took 1.5 weeks to get shipped.

    • oddities on 12/07/2024 - 10:40

      The seller on eBay is unresponsive to message. But if you purchase from the website, enquiry get reply quite quickly. I think seller is doing this as a side gig, hence the long delay in shipping. My second bike is expected to be delivered today. So I think you will get your bike, just not in reasonable time like regular seller.

  • skysurfer on 10/07/2024 - 00:14

    Any reviews coming soon?

    • oddities on 12/07/2024 - 10:34

      I have bought another bike for my son, from eBay auction as well. And this time it's a little quicker, it took 7 working days to shipped. All the parts are Chinese brands, so I didn't expect much. One issue that just appeared is squeaking from the right brake lever. I hope that some w40 will fix it. Even if it doesn't the bike is still great value. The 9 gears set feels great. I think it can handle hills even without power. With power you feel super human.

      • williamk30 on 12/07/2024 - 11:34

        Is your gear shifter on handle bar different from the photos on their website?

      • 8azinga on 12/07/2024 - 11:39

        Did you buy the your 2nd bike before you made this post?
        The ebay seller appears to have removed their listings. At the time of this post, they had 1 auction that ended on on 4th and another listing for $499 +$199 delivery but looks like they removed it from sale and they havent listed anything since.

        • oddities on 14/07/2024 - 18:00

          My son bought his bike after the post. Seller must be using eBay for advertising. I don't think there will be any more listings. If you live in Victoria the website is still advertising $600, which is not bad for an ebike.

          • 8azinga on 17/07/2024 - 22:51

            @oddities: So you/your son won the ebay auction for $304? This is the sale history and there was only 1 bike sold after this post.

    Got the bike delivered Yesterday. No instructions manual for the bike assembly, but there is one for the display gaguge control and the charger.
    Managed to get the bike assembled in 15 mins which wasn't too difficult. Overall build quality is acceptable for its price.
    It was already dark and I only tried ridding it for a couple of minutes, the pedal assist is responsive and riding it was a breeze. (First timer on ebike)

    I'm 180cm tall and the bike seems to be the right size, so it is much bigger than I was expected being a 51cm frame.

    In addition, the gear shifter on the handle is very different from the photos on the website, being much bulky and no gear display (not sure if it is a step down from what's being advertised).

    • meong on 13/07/2024 - 23:38

      Whats the standover height of the bike?

      Basically the distance of the top tube to the ground…

    • oddities on 14/07/2024 - 18:05

      I look at the website photos again, and it's the same shifter. On the shifter it's printed L-TWOO 2:1. First time using it, and it's ok. I like how you can do a long press to down shift multiple gears. Useful at stop when you want to down shift quickly.

      Just measured from ground to top seat tube it's 80cm.

      • meong on 14/07/2024 - 19:27

        I think it's more important for the distance from ground top tube than top of seat tube as seats usually can be adjusted or even sawed off to be shorter.

        Top tube is the horizontal tube that is under you crotch when you stand over them at traffic lights etc.
