The EUYBike S4 and Ride1UP lines balance affordability and power—with 750–1000 W motors reaching 30–35 mph. Fat‑tire and suspension choices further enhance stability and ride quality, especially under load or off‑road. What motor size is best for moped-style electric bikes?

Why choose a 26‑inch vs 27‑inch frame for these bikes?

Frame size affects ride feel:

• 26‑inch frames: lower standover, ideal for rough terrain like sand/snow, tighter handling.
• 27‑inch frames: smoother roll, more stable at speed, better for commuting and mountain routes.

TST EBike offers both 26‑inch (rough terrain) and 27‑inch (daily/mountain) options, allowing riders to match frame size to riding style.

Buying Tips

When choosing your moped style e bike:

Focus on:

• Motor wattage vs actual throttle power
• Suspension quality, braking (hydraulic preferred)
• Battery capacity and dual‑battery options for range
• Size: 26″ for rugged terrain, 27″ for commuting
• Controls: throttle, lights, signals, app integration

Completing this checklist delivers practical performance in a stylish, moto‑inspired ride.
