Detailed Product Review: Vivi Electric Bike for Adults 750W Peak Ebike with Removable Battery, 26” Electric Commuter Bike

Testing the Vivi Electric Bike 750W Peak Ebike, I couldn’t help but feel like I’d stumbled upon a hidden gem in the world of electric bicycles. With its removable battery, 26-inch wheels, and sleek low step-thru frame, it manages to balance style with functionality. But, let me walk you through my experience with this bike, as it’s not without some quirks.

On my first ride, I was immediately struck by the power of the 500W brushless motor (peaking at 750W). This allowed for smooth acceleration, even on slight inclines. The advertised 22 MPH top speed felt accurate, though I admit I didn’t push it to the limit on every ride. The 48V 374.4Wh removable battery was a real game-changer. I charged it in my living room while the bike waited in the garage—a small, but genuinely convenient feature. However, the range was more aligned with the lower end of its 22-50 miles claim, especially in full electric mode.

What made this bike shine for commuting was the adjustable handlebars and seat, which allowed my coworker (who is significantly shorter than me) to borrow it for a quick spin. She particularly loved the step-thru design, which made mounting and dismounting effortless. The 7-speed Shimano transmission was another highlight, offering versatility for both city streets and light trails.

The dual disc brakes provided reliable stopping power, even during a sudden encounter with an overly enthusiastic squirrel. At night, the integrated headlight and rear light were sufficient for visibility, though I’d recommend an additional bright light for poorly lit paths.

The LCD display was intuitive, showing essential metrics like speed, battery level, and assistance levels. I was especially intrigued by the 5-speed assist levels, which allowed me to customize my ride. The cruise control mode was a pleasant surprise—activating it was simple, and it gave my hand a much-needed break on longer stretches.

Compared to competitors, such as Aventon or Rad Power Bikes, the Vivi Electric Bike holds its own. For instance, it’s lighter than some Rad models, thanks to the alloy steel frame and aluminum wheels. However, the maximum weight recommendation of 330 pounds gives it a slight edge over Aventon for heavier riders. That said, the Vivi bike’s suspension fork, while decent, doesn’t quite match the plush feel of higher-end options.

When evaluating cost versus value, the Vivi bike punches above its price bracket. It’s ideal for someone entering the e-bike world without breaking the bank. While it may lack the refinement of pricier models, it delivers everything you need for daily commutes and weekend rides.

As for the design, the black ink finish adds a classy touch, and the rear luggage rack and mudguards enhance practicality. However, I noticed some minor weld misalignments, and the LCD screen occasionally gathered condensation, making it tricky to read.

Overall, the Vivi Electric Bike for Adults 750W Peak Ebike proved to be a solid choice for commuting and casual rides. While the battery range and brake durability could be improved, its impressive power, customization options, and thoughtful design make it a worthwhile investment.
