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 Tamobyke V20. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

11 reasons to buy

  • Tamobyke offers this bike in two builds: V20 and V20 Pro.
  • Reviewers praise the throttle’s instant response and smooth acceleration.
  • In testing, both builds handle moderate inclines on throttle power alone.
  • The V20 comes with fenders, passenger footpegs, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation and turn signals. The Pro adds a 50lb-capacity rear rack.
  • Reviewers find the seat comfortable.
  • The Logan hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in testing.
  • In throttle-only range tests of the V20, a 180lb reviewer gets 22 miles on pavement and a 295lb tester gets 18 miles over mixed terrain.
  • Owners find assembly easy.
  • The color display is easy to read in sunlight and includes a USB-A charging port.
  • A tester enjoys the V20’s nimble handling.
  • The choice of mag wheels eliminates spoke repairs and reduces maintenance.

12 reasons not to buy

  • Tamobyke asks one reviewer to purchase the bike from Amazon for a YouTube review, and later says they will only provide a full refund for a positive review.
  • Multiple owners and a reviewer report difficulty seating the tires on the rims, with the tires popping off during inflation.
  • Two testers question the V20 Pro’s claimed 1,000W nominal motor power, saying it feels closer to 750W.
  • Reviewers describe the rear suspension as bouncy and squeaky, and the non-adjustable suspension fork easily bottoms.
  • At 103lb, the V20 Pro is very heavy, even for the moto e-bike category.
  • The throttle exceeds 20mph, making the bike illegal in most states.
  • Testers experience a delay of one revolution before the pedal assist kicks in.
  • Many buyers don't receive their bikes, and Tamobyke fails to provide refund to some.
  • Owner criticize customer support for being unresponsive and unhelpful.
  • Two reviewers say the kickstand is too long, so the bike can tip over easily.
  • A tester of the V20 complains that the handling isn’t very stable.
  • Tamobyke doesn’t provide an online manual for this bike, and the assembly instructions make absolutely no sense in places.

Bottom line

Tamobyke’s budget moto-style e-bike is available in two builds: V20 and V20 Pro. The Pro version includes a rear rack with a passenger seat, a larger battery, and higher claimed motor power, though testers think it’s a 750W motor. The smooth throttle acceleration, reliable braking, good climbing ability, and decent range impress testers. The suspension, however, is poor, with the rear shock squeaking and the fork bottoming out easily. More concerning are Tamobyke’s shady marketing practices and poor customer support, ultimately making the V20 a risky purchase, even at this price.

Tamobyke V20 Pro (Full Send) Review! This E-Bike Is Packing Features!

Now, there are no serious issues that I’m battling here right now as we went through this test today. Little bit of squeaking coming from the rear suspension. Other than that, everything’s holding up very tight and very proper.
