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 Yoloway YR16. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

6 reasons to buy

  • The YR16 comes with fenders, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation and turn signals.
  • Buyers relish the quick but smooth throttle acceleration.
  • Owners say the full suspension and 4” tires provide a comfortable ride over rough pavement.
  • A reviewer appreciates the YR16’s stable handling.
  • Most buyers find assembly easy.
  • A tester enjoys the comfort of the saddle.

7 reasons not to buy

  • The product page contains inconsistent, incomplete, and misleading specifications.
  • Like other moto-style e-bikes, pedaling the YR16 is uncomfortable.
  • Buyers report squeaky brakes, loosening bolts, a broken turn signal, stripped pedal threads, and play in the steering column.
  • The 2A charger results in long charging times of around seven hours.
  • A reviewer complains that the grips rotate and the throttle is uncomfortable to use.
  • The IPX4 water resistance means the YR16 shouldn’t be ridden in heavy rain.
  • Yoloway doesn’t provide an online owner’s manual for this bike.

Bottom line

The Yoloway YR16 is a moped-style e-bike suited for teenagers and adults under 5'5". Pedaling isn't practical, but if relying on the throttle alone, the ride is comfortable. Frustratingly, the product page is littered with misleading specifications like unclear motor power and inconsistent torque and range figures. The budget price convinces parents to choose the YR16 for their teens, but there's little else to shout about here.

… it has its little flaws, but I mean, for [this price], you can’t go wrong.
