Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Aipas C2 Xpress. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

Experts say the adjustable 100mm suspension fork helps smooth out bumpy pavement.
The C2 Xpress comes with a rear rack, fenders, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation.
A tester relishes the controlled throttle acceleration.
An owner and a reviewer say the C2 Xpress is easy to ride without motor assistance.
The grayscale display is easy to read and includes a USB-A charging port.
Buyers and reviewers say final assembly is easy.

11 reasons not to buy

The C2’s claimed UL certification cannot be found, and Aipas has already been shown to have lied regarding certification for another model.
A tester feels the claimed 90Nm torque is exaggerated, as the bike struggles on steeper climbs.
The mechanical disc brakes deliver weak stopping power.
An expert notes a massive delay of up to four pedal revolutions before assistance kicks in.
The motor's nominal power and the unlocked throttle speed exceed e-bike laws.
A 6’ tester says the bike is too big for riders at the shorter end of the stated height range (5’2” to 6’7”).
At a claimed 71lb, the C2 is heavy for an e-commuter.
A 220lb reviewer gets just 21 miles of range at an average speed of 13mph using a mix of throttle and PAS 5.
There are multiple owner reports of bikes that stop working within a few months of purchase.
Some buyers complain of flat tires within a few days of riding.
The product page and the manual are full of inconsistent and unclear specifications regarding the bike’s weight, height range, motor power, and battery capacity.

Bottom line

The Aipas C2 is packed with appealing features at a budget price, but the stated specifications are littered with exaggerations, contradictions, and falsities. The motor's weak climbing ability makes a tester doubt the 90Nm torque claim. Another reviewer says the stated height range is exaggerated at the low end, and the claimed UL certification doesn't seem to exist. Weak brakes, laggy pedal assist, underwhelming range, and owner reports of failed bikes further reduce the C2 Xpress's appeal. Testers deem the C2 a decent commuter e-bike, but misleading marketing and poor owner feedback make it a risky buy.
