Bike Size Charts

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 Flyer Cruiser. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

10 reasons to buy

  • The Flyer Cruiser is available in step-through and step-over frames.
  • Between the two Flyer frames, there are five colorways and a claimed rider fitment of 5’1” to 6’3”.
  • The Cruiser comes with integrated lights, fenders, and an integrated rear rack rated for 77lb.
  • Experts say the bike accelerates quickly and smoothly under throttle power.
  • The motor kicks in after one pedal stroke thanks to the “responsive” cadence sensor.
  • The app has a security feature that allows the owner to lock the motor.
  • Reviewers praise the stability of the two-sided kickstand.
  • A tester says the battery's position behind the seatpost provides better handling.
  • Flyer offers various bespoke accessories, such as baskets, bags, and child seats.
  • The Cruiser has an AirTag slot hidden under the battery.

5 reasons not to buy

  • One reviewer reports brake rub.
  • A 5’11” tester feels the handlebars are too low.
  • Without suspension, one tester reports “feeling the bumps” in their hands.
  • An expert thinks the “messy” cables, external battery, and “sloppy” welds detract from the aesthetic.
  • A Shimano Tourney drivetrain at this price disappoints one reviewer.

Bottom line

The Flyer Cruiser is a vintage cruiser e-bike available as a step-through or step-over. This bike has a practical cargo-ready design, but the “modest” 350W motor and 285lb payload capacity limit its practicality for this purpose. Testers are underwhelmed by the mechanical disc brakes and low-tier drivetrain. However, they praise the bike's vintage aesthetic, comfortable and upright riding position, responsive cadence sensor, and smooth throttle power. Though spec improvements could be made, reviewers agree the bike is a “competitive choice” for recreational and casual riders.
