Bottom line
The isinwheel U1 is a cheap mini e-bike with 14” wheels. Reviewers appreciate the bike's low price and being able to fit it in a car’s back seat, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. Many buyers receive bikes with issues immediately or shortly after, such as batteries not charging, electronic failures, flat tires, misinstalled components, broken pedals, brake pads falling out, a melted battery, a broken fork, and missing hardware. The low range, laggy assist, and high weight add to the U1's woes. Quality control issues and lack of support mean isinwheel's U1 should be avoided.Expert Reviews
