Bike Size Charts

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 VIVI F26F. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Published Nov 13, 2025 by Nick Koleszar.

6 reasons to buy

  • Buyers and a reviewer applaud the performance and range they get from this bike, though range isn't tested.
  • A reviewer finds the F26F has no trouble climbing hills using throttle alone.
  • A tester applauds how smoothly this bike rides on light off-road terrain.
  • This bike comes with an integrated headlight, a kickstand, fenders, tools, and a tool bag.
  • The F26F’s stated weight of 61.7lb isn’t measured, but if true, that makes it impressively lightweight for a budget fat-tire e-bike.
  • A reviewer says the display is easy to read, even in bright sunlight.

8 reasons not to buy

  • When unlocked, this bike can exceed 20mph using the throttle, which is illegal in most jurisdictions.
  • Mechanical disk brakes with 160mm rotors, while not surprising at this price point, are disappointing on an e-bike that reaches 25mph.
  • The stated rider fit range of 5’5” to 6’6” is exaggerated, given the 30.3" standover height.
  • Some buyers complain of faulty bikes, citing sluggish performance, failed batteries, and broken components.
  • The website and user manual state different weights for the bike and sizes for the battery.
  • The short, floppy rear fender is ineffective.
  • With a water resistance rating of IP54, the F26F shouldn't be ridden in heavy rain.
  • A wide-ranging recall of VIVI e-bike batteries was recently announced, but not this model.

Bottom line

Clearly, VIVI’s F26F isn’t a premium product, but if the many owners and lone reviewer are right, the F26F gives a lot of bang for the buck. Overall performance, hill-climbing ability, ride quality, and equipment appear to be more than good enough for a budget bike, but range isn’t tested. At 61.7lb, the F26F isn’t even particularly heavy. Cash-strapped shoppers should find a lot to like here, but whether the F26F lasts long enough to make it good value remains to be seen.
