750W Snapcycle R1 Fat Tire Electric Bike w/ Twist Throttle

 

Independent electric bike reviewer Brent McCluskey prepared a detailed review of the Snapcycle R1, saying that "this versatile fat tire electric bike checks off pretty much all the important boxes" and that I'm a huge fan of the R1's frame style." You can read his complete review and watch the video review below.

Brent says "Overall, the R1 is a great choice for anyone who needs a highly versatile electric bike at a reasonable price. Remember, the R1 starts at just $1,699, but it’s specs and refined design make it feel like it should cost quite a bit more. The R1 is going to work well as a commuter and trail rider, and pretty much everything in-between."
