Bottom line
The NAKTO Camel presents a bargain-basement option in the ‘entry-level full-size e-bike’ category. At this price, you get a beast of burden, ready-shod with a basket, rack, fenders and other goodies. It seems to have no trouble reaching the state-sanctioned 20mph e-bike speed limit. A reviewer described the suspension fork as ‘cheap’ but ‘acceptable’, saying that it coped with city streets. Riders will need it to soften the impact of 68lbs of e-bike hitting city potholes. It isn’t terrible, but it isn’t high-end. Most buyers received a functioning e-bike - but at this price, for a few - it was a lottery.Expert Reviews
