Summary of Reviews

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

6 reasons to buy

  • The Literider has a headlight, a tailight with braking function, fenders, and a 77lb-capacity rear rack.
  • Testers climb grades as steep as 20% using only the throttle.
  • Experts are pleased with the strong stopping power of the hydraulic disc brakes.
  • A 225lb reviewer gets 25.24 miles of range using max assist in the city.
  • Testers praise the instant throttle response.
  • Reviewers enjoy the relaxed, upright riding position.

11 reasons not to buy

  • Even though this bike is slower than advertised, it still breaches e-bike speed limits with both PAS and throttle.
  • One test bike has a dangerous and unexplained wobble, two arrive with scratched paint, two have tight hinges that make them hard to fold, and one has a loose telescoping stem.
  • The Literider is heavy at 71lb, and difficult to lift once folded.
  • This bike is blighted by ghost pedaling at 16mph, extremely laggy pedal assistance, and notable motor overrun.
  • At 70.5” long and 49.2” tall, the Literider is a large bike, and when folded it's slightly above average.
  • Reviewers recommend changing the "uncomfortable" seat and adding a suspension seat post.
  • Two testers have trouble seating a tire bead during assembly.
  • The battery meter proves inaccurate, erratic, and hard to read.
  • Several testers feel the folding pedals flexing while pedaling.
  • One reviewer says the handlebar is too high with the seat at its lowest position.
  • Reviewers find the screen hard to see in the sun or wearing sunglasses.

Bottom line

The Kingbull Literider is a folding fat-tire e-bike with a 750W motor and 720Wh battery. Reviewers are impressed with the range, hill-climbing ability, and powerful brakes. Testers prefer the throttle, as it responds instantly and hits higher speeds. The bike suffers from laggy PAS, ghost pedaling, and motor overrun. It's heavy and bulky. Despite the suspension fork and fat tires, the ride isn't comfortable. Other notable concerns include poor rider fit, significant quality-control failings, and non-compliance with e-bike rules. Ultimately, the Literider offers several reasons to avoid it and no reasons to choose it over its many competitors.

The King of Electric Bikes? Complete Kingbull Literider Review You Must See!

There is power there, which is fantastic, 80Nm of torque from a very nice motor. I just wish it were a little more comfortable. You have this nice front fork; there’s nothing in the back.

Kingbull Literider

So far, so good, besides the bike tapping out at 22.4mph. Well, it’s a very comfortable ride. Now, you will ghost pedal a lot, basically by the time you hit pedal assist number three.

Kingbull Literider E-Bike Tech Review

Other than that, this bike has been absolutely phenomenal, and as a vacationer bike, this is a prime choice for a top contender. The portability factor of the bike is great, though it is a little bit on the heavy side.

Kingbull Literider E-Bike Review: A Steal of an E-Bike!

I think that Kingbull should really be looking into the R&D and the design of their step-through frames to make them more solid so there’s less of a wobble, but [I] love this bike. It has enough front suspension.

Kingbull Literider E-Bike First Impression!

For what it is, a 48-volt system, there’s nothing that stands out for that price point in my opinion… I would say it’s a pretty solid bike for the price category, but e-bikes nowadays, the price is getting really competitive…

Ultimate Folding Fat Tire E-Bike! Kingbull Literider!

I wish that the bike weren’t so jerky. It’s just a cadence sensor in there that recognizes motion, and then it goes forward, but the forward motion is kind of jerky.

The Folding Kingbull Literider E-Bike | Folding Electric Bike With Power and Comfort

Overall, this is an excellent e-bike and you get a lot for the price. It comes standard with the front and rear fenders. It is a folding e-bike, so it’s really beefy…

An E-Bike Under [Price] That Doesn’t Suck! – Kingbull Literider Review

This is a very throttle-heavy bike, meaning if you want the top speed, you’ve got to use the throttle… people that are going to want to buy this bike are mainly going to choose to cruise with the throttle.

The Kingbull Literider E-Bike Is a Steal

This Folding E-Bike Offers Impressive Value

As for folding the bike, it weighs 71 pounds according to Kingbull. I’m not sure if that’s with or without the battery. Regardless, it’s a little cumbersome to fold up and lift into the back of a car.
