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 Bee Cool Bee Ranger. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • Bee Cool offers the Bee Ranger with the choice of 20” (Ranger) or 26” (Ranger Max) wheels.
  • Testers praise the throttle's quick but smooth acceleration and strong climbing power.
  • Experts enjoy the comfortable upright riding position.
  • Testers find the ride comfortable over bumpy pavement and loose gravel.
  • The hydraulic disc brakes provide good stopping power, according to reviewers.
  • The Bee Ranger comes with fenders, a rear rack rated for 60lb, a headlight, and a taillight with turn signals and brake activation.
  • The Bee Ranger's 400lb payload capacity is above average.
  • An adjustable stem allows quick modifications to fit.
  • The display comes with a USB port to charge devices on the go.
  • Experts say the bike is packaged well and easy to assemble.
  • The Bee Ranger is available in 10 colorways, including two camo finishes.

8 reasons not to buy

  • The 1,000W nominal motor output and 28mph out-of-the-box throttle speed make it illegal to ride this bike on public roads and trails.
  • The stated rider fit for both the Ranger (4’10”-6’2”) and Ranger Max (5’3”-6’5”) are wildly exaggerated, given they both have saddle height ranges of just four inches.
  • In unlocked mode, the jumps in speed between pedal assist levels are both uneven and too large (5-9mph). PAS 1 is also slow, maxing out at six miles per hour.
  • A 5’11” reviewer can't get full leg extension on the Ranger Max at the seatpost's minimum insertion point.
  • The 2A charger makes for slow charging times.
  • An expert complains that the rear fender rattles against the rack.
  • At 72 or 78lb, the Bee Ranger is heavy, making it difficult to lift or transport.
  • One owner complains of a noisy, vibrating motor.

Bottom line

Bee Cool’s Bee Ranger is a step-through e-bike with fat tires, a 1,000W motor, and a 960Wh battery. Buyers can choose from 20” or 26” wheels and ten colorways. Testers praise the climbing power, throttle acceleration, reliable brakes, and upright riding position. The bike’s off-road capabilities are untested, but the high weight and geometry are unsuited to aggressive trails. The top speed and motor power don’t comply with e-bike laws. Complaints include the cramped pedaling position, exaggerated height ranges, and rear fender rattle. Overall, reviewers feel the Bee Ranger offers solid value, though limited off-road testing leaves some questions unanswered.
