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!

8 reasons to buy

  • Experts and owners relish the F3 Adventurer's strong power and fast acceleration.
  • Testers overcome steep hills using the throttle alone.

8 reasons not to buy

  • The mechanical disc brakes are disappointing on a heavy, fast e-bike, and owners complain that they squeal.
  • The strong acceleration in PAS 5 can cause the front wheel to lift.
  • Reviewers say the low ground clearance results in pedal strikes.
  • A test bike suffers from an unexplained creaking sound and a rattling battery.
  • Buyers receive bikes with issues like flat tires, a defective stem, and a defective battery, and many say Aipas avoids responding or honoring the warranty.
  • The constantly fluctuating battery indicator makes it hard to estimate remaining range.
  • Reviewers say the bike is too small for riders at the high end of the 4’7” to 6’5” height range.
  • The F3 Adventurer's power and top speed exceed legal e-bike classifications.

Bottom line

The Aipas F3 Adventurer is a folding e-bike with fat tires. It's marketed for off-roading, but this is explicitly prohibited in the owner's manual. The strong and responsive motor easily overcomes hills, even with heavier riders aboard. The bike is comfortable and the handling nimble, but the brakes are underpowered for a 1,000W e-bike, and the battery meter is difficult to gauge. Additionally, buyers complain of the lack of quality control, receiving bikes with major issues, and owner feedback on customer support is mixed. Overall, the budget-friendly Aipas F3 Adventurer is praised for its value, but it's not without considerable drawbacks.

Aipas F3 Adventurer, Folding, Lightweight, Low Seat Height, Full Suspension, 48V 12Ah 1500W E-Bike

I think it did pretty darn good on the hills. [A] 1,500W max claimed rating, it may be a little bit below that judging by other bikes that I’ve ridden, but it did very well.

Is the Aipas F3 My Best or Worst E-Bike Review So Far?

I think it’s a fantastic bike, super comfortable, really nice and flickable, and I think it’s priced just right.
