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.
