BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the HAOQI Camel. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

  • Experts commend the power and torque of the 750W motor.
  • This bike has an above-average battery capacity totaling 1334Wh from two batteries.
  • Owners find the step-through frame approachable and practical for cargo duties.
  • Folding handlebars and 20” wheels make the Camel more compact for storage.
  • Testers praise the stability afforded by the well-balanced geometry and low center of gravity.
  • Reviewers say the fat tires, suspension fork, and suspension seatpost combine to provide a smooth ride.
  • The Camel has a high 400lb payload capacity.
  • Experts say the centrally mounted kickstand is stable and helpful when loading cargo.
  • The Camel shows a 10-bar battery readout instead of the more common and less accurate five bars.
  • The display and one of the batteries have a USB port for charging devices on the go.
  • The HAOQI comes with fenders, a rear rack, a horn, and lights with brake activation and turn signals.
  • HAOQI offers a three-year warranty on the batteries.

8 reasons not to buy

  • At 88lb before adding accessories, the HAOQI Camel is a hefty e-bike.
  • Testers report lagging pedal assist activation and deactivation. The motor takes two seconds to engage and disengage.
  • According to an expert, the motor is louder than similar hub motors.
  • Unlocking pedal assist to 28mph also increases the throttle maximum, causing the Camel to violate throttle speed laws in most states.
  • HAOQI lists a height range of 5'1" to 6'8", but a 6'3" reviewer says they have limited leg extension.
  • Testers complain about ghost pedaling at 23mph and the bike not reaching the stated max speed of 28mph.
  • Confusingly, HAOQI lists a max payload capacity of 450lb, but they recommend 400lb. A company representative states that they didn't test the rear rack's max capacity.
  • Some HAOQI buyers report poor customer support and communication issues.

Bottom line

The HAOQI Camel is an entry-level cargo e-bike with fat tires, a 750W motor, and two batteries (17.4Ah, 10.4Ah). Experts praise the zippy motor performance, ample range, comfort, and high payload capacity. They also appreciate the step-through frame, folding handlebars, and stable ride. The bike is very heavy, weighing 88lb before adding accessories, and riders over 6' may not fit. Testers complain about the loud motor, lagging pedal assist, and ghost pedaling at 23mph. Buyers should also be aware of HAOQI's reputation for poor customer support.
