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!

Bottom line

Puckipuppy's Samoyed is a fat-tire e-bike with a step-through frame, a 750W motor, and a 720Wh battery. Testers praise the comfortable ride and stable handling. Commuter accessories add functionality for urban riding. The throttle is responsive, but pedal assist takes around three revolutions to activate. Additionally, the brakes are weak, the gearing range is limited, rider fit is exaggerated, and the bike is very large. Some buyers also report receiving bikes with missing pieces and shipping damage. Overall, reviewers feel the Samoyed is good value, with its low "sale" price helping compensate for its flaws.

Puckipuppy Samoyed E-Bike Worth Your Money?

… the 80Nm of torque is not quite enough to really get you up some of the steeper hills all by yourself. You will have to pedal and just help it along. But overall, it’s not a bad bike.

Puckipuppy Samoyed E-Bike Review // Test Ride and Thoughts

It’s a great e-bike for a middle-of-the-road non-premium e-bike. It’s built like a premium bike in lots of ways, but the places that they cut the corners, well it kind of shows through.

Great Affordable E-Bike! (Puckipuppy Samoyed)

It’s pretty bare bones, just front suspension, no rear. Everything is pretty simple… pretty nice build quality all around, [and] pretty good-looking if you don’t if you don’t mind the name Puckipuppy.

Puckipuppy Samoyed Fat Tire E-Bike Review 2024

… very easy to control, very nice around the corners and stuff. This does get up to speed fairly quickly. You know we’ve seen worse, and we’ve definitely seen better. But Puckipuppy, get hydraulic brakes on these bikes!
