Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

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!

Bottom line

Jupiter Bike’s Discovery X5 is a folding e-bike with 16” wheels, a 350W motor, and a 244.8Wh battery. Reviewers appreciate the easy assembly, quick folding mechanism, and comfortable ride. This bike is also lightweight and compact when folded, making it easier to carry than competing models. However, reviewers complain of weak brakes, poor climbing performance, and a noisy motor.
