Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the HappyRun G100. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
8 reasons to buy
- The G100 comes with two batteries totaling 1,824Wh.
- Experts appreciate the bike's gentle acceleration.
- Reviewers enjoy the wide, angle-adjustable handlebars and relaxed riding position.
- Tests show the G100 handles steep hills using the throttle alone.
- The suspension fork has preload and compression damping, and reviewers say it helps smooth out bumps.
- The G100 comes with lights with turn signals, fenders, a horn, a pump, a lock, two chargers, and an integrated storage compartment under the seat.
- Experts praise the large, “immensely” bright headlight, though some recommend adjusting it to avoid blinding other road users.
- This bike has a high payload capacity of 400lb.
14 reasons not to buy
- The G100 can only be used on private land as it exceeds legal e-bike limits.
- This e-bike is extremely heavy at 107lb.
- Experts criticize the display for being too dim and unreadable in direct sunlight.
- The 160mm brake rotors are tiny for a bike of this weight and top speed.
- The controller on a tester's bike fails while climbing a steep hill.
- Experts say the motor lacks torque and feels less powerful than its 1,000W rating.
- Testers report lagging throttle engagement and a three-second delay for pedal assist to activate.
- Reviewers find pedaling cramped and awkward. They also say the seat rubs against their thighs.
- HappyRun rates the G100 for 5'3" to 6'5", but riders under 5'9" may struggle to mount due to the 35" seat height.
- The stiff rear suspension and hard, non-adjustable seat make for an uncomfortable ride over bumpy terrain.
- One tester says the bike "doesn't quite feel safe enough" to recommend.
- Multiple reviewers struggle with the unclear assembly instructions.
- Starting the bike requires tapping an NFC card, which experts find inconvenient.
- The main power switch is located under the seat, exposed to the elements, but the included fenders should block most dirt and debris from reaching it.
Bottom line
The HappyRun G100 is a motorcycle-style e-bike with a 1,000W motor and two batteries. There is little to praise about this bike. With a 38mph top speed and nominal output over 750W, riding the G100 on public roads or trails is illegal. Its off-road performance is weak, making it a poor choice for use on private off-road land. The lengthy list of drawbacks includes high weight, cramped pedaling, a dim display, dangerously undersized brake rotors, and delayed motor engagement. The G100's low price doesn't make up for its issues. Alternatives include C3STROM's Astro or Ride1UP's REVV 1.Expert Reviews
