The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Bottom line
The Model A is Electric Bike Company's affordable electric beach cruiser with a classic design and laid-back riding position. Abundant customization options mean it’s easy to personalize the Model A's look and functionality. While the base spec comes at an accessible price, customizing the bike can increase the cost to eye-watering levels.

However, the Model A wins many fans for its design and performance, with experts highlighting the comfort afforded by the plush saddle, adjustable handlebars, and tires.Expert Reviews
