15 reasons to buy
- Experts agree this bike is a viable car replacement in communities with good cycling infrastructure.
- With padded seats and a carrier hoop, the Via is ready to carry kids and cargo out of the box.

- The Via has a rear rack rated for 150lb, footboards, and a rear wheel guard to protect passenger’s feet.
- This bike comes with "excellent” integrated lights with brake activation, bright turn signals, and a bell.

7 reasons not to buy
- The payload capacities (330lb for Via, 315lb for Via Pro) are below average.
- When tested by reviewers, the Flyer App wasn’t fully functional.
- Flyer's warranty covers the frame and fork for five years, but the rest of the components are only covered for one year.
- An expert finds the display difficult to read in bright sunlight.
- A reviewer laments the tires’ lack of reflective sidewalls.

Bottom line
Flyer’s Via is a cargo e-bike available in two builds, both with a 687Wh battery and 150lb-capacity cargo rack. The standard Via has a 500W motor; the Via Pro has a 750W motor and a suspension fork. Experts praise the range, out-of-the-box utility, premium build quality, and potential to replace a car. The wide height range, well-tuned torque sensor, and high-end lights also win fans. However, the range, payload capacity, and warranty cover are below average. Testers applaud the "awesome" optional accessories, though the Kid & Cargo Carrier XL Hauler obstructs the rear lights. Overall, the Via is deemed good value.Expert Reviews
