Bottom line
The 6061 eBike Commuter is a stealthy, single-speed, Class 1 rig for the low-key rider with moderate travel requirements. While it mightn’t make molehills of mountains, State Bicycle Co. says it can cover up to 100 miles of range on the lowest level of assist. Being miraculously light at 38.8 lb, the 6061 eBike Commuter can be easily carried upstairs to an apartment or office. Many manufacturers say their bikes ‘don’t even look like an e-bike’ but this one walks the talk. However, that svelte, integrated battery comes at a price. It can’t be removed for charging so you’ll need to park by an outlet. A simple and affordable option with easily-replaceable components.Expert Reviews
