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 ENVO Lynx. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- ENVO offers the Lynx in two builds: 16” (single-speed, 250W motor, 6.4Ah battery) and 20” (7-speed, 350W motor, 12.8Ah battery).
- An expert and owners say the Lynx 20" is nimble and easy to maneuver.
- At 32lb and 53lb, both builds are relatively lightweight, making them easier to lift and carry than most alternatives.
- Owners report the Lynx 20” traveling 31 miles in cold weather and up to 50 miles using PAS 2.
- At 37″ x 19″ x 28″ when folded, the Lynx 20” is compact for a 20” e-folder.
- The adjustable stem and telescopic seatpost allow quick adjustments for fit and comfort.
- The Lynx 16” has fenders, a rear rack rated for 22lb, and a headlight. The 20” build includes a 44lb-rated rear rack, a 22lb-rated front basket, and a non-integrated taillight.
- Assembly is easy, according to an expert and buyers.
- The CST tires have anti-puncture linings.
13 reasons not to buy
- This bike suffers from a fundamental and dangerous design flaw: the seatpost battery hits the ground when fully lowered or if the quick-release clamp isn’t secure.
- Owners say the bike struggles on climbs, requiring significant pedaling effort.
- The taillight (Lynx 20”) is externally powered, lacks brake activation, and can be obstructed by cargo on the rear rack.
- Owners complain of sluggish acceleration using the throttle
- Multiple buyers report receiving used bikes, scratched products, and opened boxes.
- The 5’-6’4” stated height range is unrealistic. Owners say the seatpost is too close to the ground for riders under 5’5”, and an expert says riders at the higher end of the range should shop elsewhere.
- The basket-mounted headlight (Lynx 20") doesn't turn with the handlebar, reducing visibility at night.
- There's no security to prevent the seatpost battery being stolen.
- An expert laments the small, basic display and greyscale screen.
- Owners and a reviewer complain about having to crouch down or flip the bike over to disconnect the cable when removing the battery.
- Some owners bemoan the manual's lack of detail, which makes even turning on the headlight difficult.
- A tester says the small folding pedals are too narrow for his feet.
- ENVO’s website lacks clear, consistent specifications, such as true bike weights, and whether the Lynx 16” includes a rear rack.
Bottom line
The ENVO Lynx is a foldable e-commuter available in two builds: a 16" single-speed with a 250W motor, and a higher-spec 20" with 7 speeds and a 250W motor. Only the Lynx 20” is tested. The battery range, low weight, compact fold, and nimble handling win praise, but weak climbing ability, sluggish throttle acceleration, and an exaggerated fit range disappoint. Buyers complain of receiving used bikes. Worst, however, is the risk of the seatpost battery hitting the ground. Overall, while the Lynx is deemed a capable e-folder, buyers should weigh the quality-control issues and dangerous design flaw.Expert Reviews
