Bottom line
Goat Power Bikes' motorcycle-style Mini Goat e-bike has a monstrous 3,000W hub motor providing more power than most riders need. Buyers have a choice of three batteries. This e-bike surpasses all road and bike path limits and is considered a motor vehicle by law. Power delivery is reportedly smooth, as long as the Starting Strength setting is set between 1 and 4. Reviewers are divided on the comfort, stopping, and traction, though they agree the handling is great, especially at high speeds. Overall, the Mini Goat, at this price, has a few too many issues to be recommended.Expert Reviews
