8 reasons to buy
- Joystar's Electric Bike comes in five colors and two sizes: 20” with spoked or mag wheels, or 24” spoked.
- Two buyers are pleased with the battery range, saying it lasts the claimed 15 miles.
- Owners say assembly is straightforward, and all tools are provided.
- The LED control pad is easy to use, with a simple on/off switch and 3 PAS levels.
- The motor has enough power to help kids climb steep hills.
- One owner says the mechanical disc brakes stop the bike well.
- The single-speed drivetrain simplifies riding.
- The battery is removable for charging.
7 reasons not to buy
- The Joystar Electric Bike's top speed is 15mph, and this can't be modified for younger or inexperienced riders.
- Joystar provides minimal sizing information for the 20" model and none for the 24”.
- The Electric Bike is extremely heavy for children, weighing 49.1lb in the smaller 20” build.
- Many buyers receive bikes with shipping damage or that won’t charge or turn on.
- The battery on one bike won’t stay in.
- The limited single-speed gearing and high weight make it difficult to start on a hill. Ghost pedaling is also reported at higher speeds.
- A buyer finds the 20" version too small for their 9-year-old child.
Bottom line
The Joystar Electric Bike is a cheap kids' e-bike available with 20" or 24" wheels. Joystar doesn't provide detailed sizing. The 20" is recommended for ages seven to 12, but a nine-year-old's parent says it's too small. Parents say motor power is sufficient for steep climbs, and they appreciate the simple controls. The 15.5mph top speed is probably too high for younger riders. Additionally, the bike is extremely heavy for a child and impossible to pedal without assistance. Unfortunately, several buyers report receiving damaged or defective bikes. There aren't many options at this price, but it's a risky buy.Expert Reviews
