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 OUXI V8. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • Testers and buyers agree the V8 is “fast” and “fun” to ride.
  • The V8 features a “loud” horn, fenders, and lights with daytime running mode, turn signals, and brake activation.
  • Riders enjoy the “great” range, getting 25 to 30 miles using a mix of pedal assist and throttle.
  • The basic, non-adjustable fork is “well damped” according to a reviewer.
  • A 300lb owner says the V8 is comfortable and, along with testers, enjoys the “well-padded” seat.
  • OUXI's choice of cast wheels eliminates the issue of broken spokes.
  • A reviewer says the V8 is great on rough pavement.
  • This bike can carry up to 330lb.

8 reasons not to buy

  • OUXI states rider fitment of 5’4″ to 6’5″, but a tester notes that riders above 5’8” might feel cramped, and an owner says the seat is too high for 5’4” riders.
  • Owners agree the headlight is too “dim” for unlit roads at night.
  • Buyers say the “poor quality” tools, “vague” instructions, and ill-fitting parts make assembly a challenge.
  • Many owners lament the lack of instructions on how to use the display controls.
  • The noisy mechanical disc brakes draw complaints from testers and owners.
  • Buyers report inconsistency in reaching the unlocked max speed. Some reach 23 to 25mph; others say they reach 30mph.
  • Owners struggle to get the tires to seat on the rim.
  • The speedometer tends to read higher than the actual speed, say buyers.

Bottom line

OUXI's V8 is a moto-style e-bike with a 750W motor and 20" x 4" tires. The fast, comfortable ride and 25 to 30-mile range impress buyers and testers. They also appreciate the "well-damped" fork, long seat, and comprehensive accessories. Inadequate documentation makes both assembly and operation frustrating for owners. Many buyers replace the "terrible" mechanical disc brakes with aftermarket hydraulic discs. However, rider fitment is probably the biggest flaw; the seat is too high for shorter riders, and the cockpit is cramped for taller riders. But if it fits, reviewers and owners think the "fun" V8 represents great value for urban rides.
