Bottom line

The NAKTO Camel uses a heavy steel frame and doesn’t feature disc brakes. This is one of the reasons that it can be offered for so low a price. It’s designed for casual city riding and reviewers said it suited this purpose. It’s top speed was widely recognized as a decent 18mph. It isn’t terrible but it isn’t high-end. Most buyers received a functioning e-bike. Durability varied widely between customers.

NAKTO Camel Review – Step-Thru Cruiser Ebike

It’s definitely a cruiser bike… it’s going for a lightweight use… for low impact activity… what you’re getting is a low price-point bike with a lot of generic parts on it.

Reviewing an Amazon Electric Bicycle: Can You Really e-Bike on the Cheap?

I can’t complain about the bike for this price. It’s not great but it’s good enough… This bike is the definition of mediocrity, but sometimes a mediocre bike is all anyone wants or needs.
