Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Goat Power Bikes Power Goat V3. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • Testers relish the bike’s unlocked top speed, reaching up to 47mph.
  • This bike comes with a headlight (high/low beam), a taillight with brake activation, front and rear turn signals, hazard lights, fenders, and side mirrors.
  • Experts praise the smooth throttle acceleration curve. The throttle’s start strength is also adjustable via the display.
  • In testing, the bike overcomes steep hills on throttle power alone.
  • A 175lb reviewer reports a real-world throttle-only range of 25 to 30 miles.
  • In testing, the four-piston hydraulic brakes with 203mm rotors deliver strong stopping power at high speeds.
  • Experts find the ride comfortable over bumpy pavement.
  • The Power Goat V3 has an above-average 450lb payload capacity.
  • Goat Power Bikes offers a 60Ah range extender as an accessory. A 225lb tester gets 94 miles of range on this battery using throttle only.
  • The mag wheels eliminate spoke repairs and reduce maintenance.
  • The display includes a USB charging port and shows battery level as a percentage.

12 reasons not to buy

  • At a claimed 101lb, the Power Goat V3 is heavy, even for its category.
  • Multiple testers find the rear shock stiff, even on the softest setting.
  • Neither the motor power nor the top speed complies with e-bike laws, making the bike illegal in most jurisdictions.
  • Typical of these moped-style e-bikes, pedaling is impractical. A pedal snaps off during a reviewer’s testing.
  • Experts report receiving the bike with a bent rotor and a controller issue.
  • This bike lacks UL certification.
  • A tester complains of a noisy direct-drive motor.
  • One reviewer finds the stem weak and “twisty.”
  • The low IPX4 water resistance means this bike shouldn't be ridden in heavy rain.
  • A tester finds the gear shifter “cheap” and basic, and says the derailleur has “no point” on this moped-style e-bike.
  • Goat Power Bikes doesn’t provide a sizing guide for this bike.
  • A reviewer notes the USB port on the display fails to charge the phone on their test bike.

Bottom line

The third version of the Goat Power Bikes Power Goat is a powerhouse reaching a 47mph top speed, thanks to the 2000W motor. But at this point, can you call this moto-style e-bike an e-bike? The top speed and motor power aren’t street-legal, and as expected, pedaling is impractical. The high weight, stiff rear shock, lack of UL certification, and poor quality control are other concerns. Nonetheless, testers praise the smooth throttle acceleration, strong climbing power, reliable braking, and decent range. The Power Goat V3 appeals to speed junkies who don't mind the price tag and legalities for raw power.

I Push The Power Goat V3 to Its Limit!

My overall thoughts on this bike [are]: it brakes well, it handles well, it goes for a long time. Now, I did buy the additional battery for [this price], which is a ton of money, but we did it, and it was worth it.
