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!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the KBO Oasis. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

The KBO Oasis is available as a step-through or step-over.

In testing, a 185lb rider covers 56.8 miles using PAS 3 and 33.9 miles at PAS 5.

Reviewers enjoy the comfortable, upright riding position and well-padded saddle.

The Oasis has an adjustable stem for quick position adjustments.

Experts say the Oasis is stable and handles well.

The mechanical disc brakes provide “sufficient” stopping power.

The 3” tires provide a "smooth" ride, absorbing bumps effectively.

Experts and owners report a straightforward assembly process.

The included rear rack is rated for 55lb.

The KBO Oasis includes a headlight, taillight with brake activation, and fenders.

Owners admire the “stylish” cruiser design.

10 reasons not to buy

At 72.9lb, the KBO Oasis is a heavy e-bike.

Experts find PAS levels 1 and 2 "slow," reaching only 9mph and 10.1mph.

Reviewers lament the inconsistent pedal assist activation, with delays or sudden bursts of power.

The Oasis' max speed isn't adjustable.

Testers report ghost pedaling at around 19mph.

The tires are considered unsuitable for wet or loose surfaces.

Reviewers say pedaling the Oasis without motor assistance is challenging.

KBO lists a height range of 5'4" to 6'4" for the step-through. Testers say those under 6' may struggle to fit.

One expert finds battery removal tricky.

A tester receives a bike with a defective seatpost clamp and loose grips.

Bottom line

The KBO Oasis is an entry-level cruiser electric bike with 3" tires and a 500W motor. The above-average 720Wh battery returns an impressive range above KBO's rating of 55 miles. Experts praise the blend of comfort, style, and affordability. However, it's heavy, provides underwhelming power output in PAS levels 1 and 2, and has inconsistent motor engagement. Additionally, the step-over frame's height range seems exaggerated. Despite these drawbacks, the Oasis remains a "solid" choice for recreational rides and commuting, with included accessories such as lights, fenders, and a rear rack.
