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!

8 reasons to buy
- Customizable lights in the frame, a bright headlight, and reflective tire sidewalls give this bike good side-on visibility at night.
- Reviewers praise the Ranger EB50's speed, acceleration, and ability to climb steep hills.
- Testers like the OLED touchscreen display, which is intuitive to use and nicely integrated into the stem.
- The wide, full-coverage fenders are a hit with reviewers.
- Testers appreciate having access to full throttle power in all PAS levels.

9 reasons not to buy
- The Ranger's non-integrated taillight is dim and doesn't have brake activation.
- Out of the box, this bike can reach or exceed 28mph using the throttle. This can be adjusted in the app to avoid riding illegally.
- The smartphone app requires internet access to work. Testers and users report the app regularly losing its connection to the bike.
- This bike has only three PAS levels, two fewer than most e-bikes.
- Other than removing the battery, there’s no way to stop someone turning the bike on.
- The website states the motor has 85Nm, but elsewhere, it says “80 torque.”
- The Ranger’s high 84lb weight makes it hard to lift or transport.
- PAS 1 reaches 15-19mph. Combined with the on-off throttle, this makes relaxed cruising difficult.
- An owner reports electrical problems with both of their Rangers.
Bottom line
OKAI’s Ranger EB50 is a burly, fat-tire e-bike with some curious tech. Testers praise the side lighting, smoothly integrated, intuitive touchscreen display, and stable, comfy ride. The bike’s speed, acceleration, and hill-climbing also impress. However, PAS 1 is too fast, and the bike is very heavy. Mechanical brakes and the non-integrated taillight are disappointing at this price. The app requires internet access to function, and the Bluetooth connection is unstable. Ultimately, the Ranger EB50 is too heavy, basic, and incomplete an offering for this price point.Expert Reviews
