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!

Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Euphree Solar Sparrow. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
16 reasons to buy
- The Euphree Solar Sparrow has fenders, a MIK-compatible rack, lights with braking function, and a kickstand.
- Experts appreciate the simplicity of the single-speed drivetrain and “buttery smooth” Gates carbon belt drive.
- With no gears, chain, or conventional suspension fork to service or clean, the Solar Sparrow’s maintenance needs should be very low.
- Thanks in part to the low standover height, Euphree’s stated 4’11”–5’10” height range appears realistic, with even a 6'1” reviewer enjoying a comfortable fit.
- The stem offers 90mm of reach adjustment and has an SP Connect phone mount.
- The relaxed riding position, 30mm front suspension, and suspension seatpost provide a very comfortable ride, say reviewers.
- A tester appreciates the comfortable grips and large, grippy pedals.
- The Solar Sparrow has switchable torque and cadence-sensing modes, and testers praise the smooth and responsive assist in both modes.
- At 60lb, the Solar Sparrow is impressively light.
- This bike feels impressively stable at high speeds and over bumpy terrain for a step-through, according to an expert.
- A 235lb tester relishes the bike’s power and ability to climb hills.
- In testing, the Solar Sparrow outperforms its stated battery range.
- Experts applaud the above-average motor customizability, such as top speeds, PAS output levels, and acceleration curve.
- The Solar Sparrow has a bottle cage mount and a USB-C charging port on the display.
- The Solar Sparrow is available in five colors, and testers admire the smooth welds and premium frame finish.
- The Euphree website is clear, simple, and complete, with easy access to an excellent assembly video and user manual.
3 reasons not to buy
- The single-speed drivetrain limits comfortable pedaling to around 22mph, say testers.
- The battery meter is deemed “unreliable” as the percentage drops in big steps, making remaining range hard to estimate.
- The cargo rack’s 30lb capacity is much lower than the 55lb offered by most competitors.
Bottom line
Texas-based Euphree is making a name for itself as a home-grown provider of quality e-bikes at reasonable prices, and the Solar Sparrow seems to live up to this promise. There’s very little to complain about here. The single-speed drivetrain makes the high top speed superfluous, and the inaccurate battery meter can make planning longer rides challenging. Otherwise, this commuter e-bike is an attractive combination of looks, comfort, practicality, performance, and quality. For riders of different ages, sizes, and cycling prowess keen to get around town in comfort and style, the Euphree Solar Sparrow has a lot to offer.Expert Reviews
