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.

7 reasons not to buy
- Aipas advertises the motor as 1,000W, but this is peak output. Continuous output is just 500W.
- Reviewers are disappointed by the weak mechanical disc brakes.
- Testers wish for a wider gear range to prevent ghost pedaling, which begins at 18mph.
- One reviewer finds the handling twitchy.
- At 63lb, the A4 Gentry is very heavy to pick up or carry when folded.
- Aipas states a rider height of 4’10” to 6’3”, but a 5’9” tester finds it too small.
- Some product specifications listed in the manual and on the website are contradictory.
Bottom line
The Aipas A4 Gentry is a budget folding e-bike with a step-through frame and 500W motor. Testers are impressed by the motor's output, providing enough power to reach 28mph and climb moderate hills. For an e-bike capable of those speeds, the mechanical disc brakes and narrow gear range are disappointing. Handling seems to straddle the line between nimble and twitchy. The A4 is relatively compact when folded, but lifting the heavy bike will be challenging for most. Additionally, the recommended height range is inaccurate. In the end, reviewers feel the A4 Gentry's quality matches its low price.Expert Reviews
