Bottom line
The Bee Cool Bee Adventurer is a fat-tire, full-suspension e-bike with a 750W motor and 1,008Wh battery. Reviewers enjoy the long battery range and comfortable ride over pavement and light off-road trails. The responsive throttle and powerful motor make light work of hills. However, quality control issues abound. Testers receive scratched bikes, damaged components, and malfunctioning electronics. Others report the motor intermittently cutting out. The low-end suspension, lengthy charging, and high weight add to the disappointments. All things considered, Bee Cool's obvious lack of quality control makes the Bee Adventurer a poor choice.
