7 reasons not to buy

  • A reviewer says that the stiff aluminum fork and narrow 28mm tires make for a harsh ride over broken pavement. Maximizing the 32mm tire clearance would improve this.

Bottom line

The Superhuman (formerly FLX) Babymaker II is a single-speed electric bike with a Gates Carbon belt drive, 350W motor, and 360Wh battery. The second iteration of this bike has a larger battery and a more powerful charger. Experts praise the sleek, stealthy design, low weight, quality brakes, fast charging, decent range, and quick acceleration. Complaints are mostly minor, but the harsh ride over broken pavement and lack of a throttle may reduce its appeal. Overall, the Babymaker II is considered a solid option in the single-speed e-bike segment.

Babymaker II Review: This Belt-Drive Electric Bike Is More Than Just an Edgy Name

There just aren’t too many e-bikes out there in this category of lightweight belt-drive commuter e-bikes. So if that’s what you’re looking for, the Babymaker II is still a good option to consider.

How Far Can the Superhuman (FLX) Babymaker Go on 1 Charge?

The battery and the Babymaker really performed as expected. We chose to ride at the higher power output, which means less mileage and we got more or less 35 miles out of it.

My FLX Babymaker II

… the aesthetics of this bike, I think this is a very very good-looking bike, and the best part is it doesn’t look like an e-bike.
