- The Cerana’s torque-driven pedal-assist is smooth and intuitive.
- This bike places riders in a comfortable, upright position with clear visibility.
- At 57lbs with a smaller battery, the Cerana is one of the lighter comfort e-bikes.

9 reasons not to buy
- This e-bike offers pedal-assist only. It does not have a throttle.
- Buzz uses unknown brands for the Cerana’s components.
- A 36V 10.4Ah battery is of modest size and offers a modest range.
- Mechanical disc brakes are less powerful than hydraulic options.
- The Cerana’s brakes do not use motor inhibitors to rapidly reduce the bike’s speed.
- The Cerana is only available in one 17” frame size.
- One reviewer finds it quite difficult to remove the bike’s battery.
- The pedals seem cheap and unimpressive to one reviewer.
- One reviewer feels the Cerana’s display is both “basic and crowded”.
Bottom line
The Cerana is very affordable for an e-bike with a mid-drive motor. Motor input is only available via pedal assistance, which is smooth and intuitive thanks to a torque sensor. With smaller 24” wheels and a low-step frame, it’s easy to access for shorter and less-flexible riders. Buzz market the Cerana toward seniors but it could also suit teenagers, especially since it is a Class 1 e-bike that doesn’t feature a throttle or the ability to accelerate suddenly. This also means that the Cerana’s battery life will be stretched over a longer range. Most reviewers praised the Cerana’s display; while another was unimpressed. The Cerana comes fitted with a sturdy, frame-mounted basket and integrated front and rear lights. Brakes are mechanical and components come from little-known brands.Expert Reviews
