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 Jasion EB5 Roamer. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

Jasion offers the Roamer in step-over and step-through frames.
The Roamer comes with a chainguard, horn, kickstand, fenders, lights with turn signals and brake activation at the rear, and a 55lb-rated cargo rack.
A tester applauds this bike’s stability while riding at 30mph.
Reviewers and owners say the Roamer climbs hills well.
Owners enjoy this bike’s speed.
At 65lb, the Roamer is relatively light for a budget e-bike with full accessories and a suspension fork.
The battery is smoothly integrated into the frame and can be removed for charging.

6 reasons not to buy

This bike exceeds 20mph using the throttle, which is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Owners say the throttle is powerful and jerky, and even in PAS 1, pedal assistance can be unpredictable.
Mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors are inadequate on a 28mph e-bike with a 330lb weight capacity.
Both height ranges are exaggerated, and Jasion doesn’t provide enough information to estimate rider fit.
The Jasion website lists conflicting information about important details such as battery range, weight capacity, motor power, and charging times.
Buyers report bikes arriving with damaged or faulty parts, but Jasion customer support seems to be very responsive.

Bottom line

Many owners profess happiness with the Roamer and Jasion, but problems like unrealistic rider fit, cheap brakes, motor power that is hard to control, and performance claims that appear to be plucked from thin air paint a more negative picture. Further, this bike suffers from poor quality control and doesn’t comply with e-bike laws. The sole tester praises the Jasion Roamer as a budget e-commuter, but one frustrated buyer calls it “Russian Roulette”.
