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 Hoverfly Ourea. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • The Ourea is relatively lightweight (54lb) for this price point.
  • The responsive throttle and quick acceleration impress testers.
  • Experts praise the effectiveness of the lockable suspension fork for this price point.
  • Testers say the motor is quiet.
  • The Ourea has mounts for a rear rack and comes with fenders, a headlight, and a bell.
  • Riding without assistance is doable, according to reviewers.
  • Experts say the Ourea easily maintains its top speed (20mph), whether using the throttle or pedal assist.
  • Testers and owners find assembly straightforward.

12 reasons not to buy

  • The mechanical disc brakes take 29.5’ to stop from 20mph in testing, and owners find them noisy.
  • The Ourea doesn’t include a display or a taillight.
  • Buyers receive bikes that won’t power on or experience electrical issues shortly after setup.
  • Buyers have trouble resolving warranty issues with customer support.
  • The Ourea only has one PAS button, so users must cycle up through the levels to get to the lowest setting again.
  • Owners complain of loosening bolts and slipping seats.
  • Two testers report pedal assist lag and motor overrun.
  • Owners say low-speed maneuvering is difficult because the bike rapidly accelerates to the max speed of the selected PAS level.
  • With a 32” minimum seat height and 29” standover, the bike may not fit shorter riders in the stated height range of 5’2” to 6’2”.
  • The low-output 1.5A charger returns lengthy charge times.
  • A test bike’s power cuts out during the second test ride, only returning after the bike is turned off and on.
  • The low IPX4 water resistance rating means the Ourea should be kept out of heavy rain.

Bottom line

The Hoverfly Ourea is a budget hybrid e-bike. The bike accelerates quickly and easily maintains the top speed of 20mph. However, many owners complain of receiving bikes with damaged components or electrical issues that exist out of the box or occur shortly thereafter. Most reviewers find the bike generally uncomfortable and the pedal assistance crude. The Ourea seems like good value, but the risk of issues and reports of unresponsive after-sales support should give buyers pause. Alternatively, consider the Viribus Panther.

Highest Rated E-Bike on Amazon Under [Price]! Hoverfly Ourea Review

Even if you rode this for a year and then something happened you could replace it very inexpensively with the same exact model… I didn’t like the display. This is a display that a lot of lower-end e-bikes use.

Hoverfly Ourea Commuter E-Bike! • Ride & Review!

I think this is a very affordable commuter e-bike, and I would definitely recommend it for someone who’s on a budget or is maybe new to e-bikes and doesn’t want to take the plunge into something crazy expensive.

Must See Hoverfly Ourea Review Low Cost E-Bike

I like that it has front suspension. Some of the things that would be nice: it’d be nice to see a control display up here so you can actually see the speed.

Hoverfly Ourea – Amazing What You Get for Only [Price]! Super Budget Friendly and Solid Build!

This is a pleasantly surprisingly well-built bike for the price, and what they sacrifice to get the price down so that people can afford it is not that big of a deal.

Hoverfly Ourea Electric Bike – Full Review

The controls are simple and easy to use. It’s not the typical large display that you find on other bikes. Overall, I feel the bike is capable and has good value.

Cheap E-Bike!! Hoverfly Ourea Electric Bike Review

Without pedaling, you will not have much power. It’s only 500W, so the motor is not as powerful… It’s a decent motor, but again this is a budget bicycle, really budget.

Is This Cheap E-Bike Worth the Money?

I can’t even complain about this front suspension either. The only thing I wish is that it had an LCD so we could know how fast we were going.
