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 Pedal Electric AWD [S]. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Jun 30, 2026 by Jordan Grimes.

9 reasons to buy

  • The Pedal Electric AWD [S] comes with lights, a brake light, rear turn signals, fenders, a rear rack, frame storage, passenger footpegs, and an alarm.
  • Testers praise the stopping power of the “fantastic” hydraulic disc brakes.
  • Reviewers reach speeds up to 36mph in the unrestricted Sport mode.
  • Experts are impressed by the AWD [S]'s acceleration and how quickly it gets to top speed.
  • A reviewer says he can overcome hills easily, even while carrying a passenger.
  • The suspension fork works well, according to two testers.
  • The steering column can be locked for added security.
  • Switching between front, rear, and dual-motor modes is quick.
  • One 200lb tester gets around 30 miles of throttle-only range in Sport mode.

7 reasons not to buy

  • Experts and buyers complain about poor customer support, saying Pedal Electric takes weeks to respond to emails.
  • One reviewer says the rear shocks are much too firm; another says they’re garbage, and the shock reservoirs are fake.
  • A tester complains that the front light is dim.
  • The motors on one test bike are very noisy, and the reviewer finds they are undergreased.
  • The front wheel spins out easily when accelerating from a stop on off-road terrain.
  • A tester gets just 15 to 20 miles of range in dual-motor mode.
  • Reviewers say the AWD [S] lacks maneuverability.

Bottom line

Pedal Electric’s AWD [S] is the fourth iteration of its premium moto-style e-bike, and one of a growing range of dual-motor e-bikes. Like most competitors, it’s not without its share of issues, most notably the “garbage” rear shocks. Pedal Electric’s poor customer support is cause for worry. Testers love the powerful brakes, high speed, rapid acceleration, and ability to climb hills with a passenger, but this power and the bike’s weight make it poorly suited to off-roading. Testers are happy with the AWD [S] despite its drawbacks, but they recommend it only for riders who don't mind spending time and money tinkering.

Pedal Electric AWD S: Honest Review (After 6 Months)

… I knew that I would be doing all of the things that I’d mentioned: servicing my own bike, fixing it myself… if that’s something you’re hesitant about, then I might want to look for another brand that has a little bit more support…

What if the Jeep Wrangler Was an E-Bike? (AWD [S])

So, what if the Jeep Wrangler became an e-bike? It would be something that’s overbuilt, kind of stupid in the best way, a bit of a headache on the worst days, but overall, just a ton of fun.
