Bottom line
Razor’s Rambler 20 is a budget-priced motorcycle-style electric bike with a 500W motor and a tiny 270Wh battery. Owners and experts appreciate the affordable price and eye-catching looks but are unimpressed by the cheap frame. Furthermore, despite the lack of suspension or gearing, this bike is heavy, under-braked, and seriously lacking battery range. It’s also cramped and hard to pedal. Owners complain about noisy brakes, punctures, and the unavailability of fenders. It is hard to recommend any moto-style e-bike at this price point. The Razor Rambler 20 is no exception to this rule.
