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!

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.Expert Reviews
