This bike is not only Made in USA but it's manufactured in Orange County, California. Definitely not one of the cheapest areas to operate a business in. Great job Electric Bike Company! Hope to see more American built bikes. Hoping that Detroit Bikes gets back in action.

Assembled, not manufactured. The frame is from overseas as are many/most of the other components. Looks like a solid product nonetheless.

I'm no fan of hub drives or pre-fab e-bikes but even I must respect the quality & reputation of Electric Bike Co e-bikes and from every thing I've seen or read they are very customer service oriented. Their post purchase support is virtual legend amongst e-bikers. If a hub drive is your preference Mxus is the way to go, so the Electric Bike Co are ahead of most e-bikes with hub motors on that point alone. They must have a clever controller to power that reasonably powerful motor and still get those kind of ranges from a 14ah battery. I still prefer building my own e-bikes, where for the same budgets as pre-fabs, I can have a mid-drive that (at the same power) can offer higher top speeds & better hill climbing. That's my preference but if a friend wanted a more frustration free experience with post purchase support I'd have no problem suggesting they look at Electric Bike Co.

[@brianwalker9793]

The colors and options and finish on these are just fantastic for the price and value. It isn't what I am looking for as a performance oriented rider but if it was 27.5 at that price and I could make it my college colors, man why not! And it would definitely be attractive to anyone shopping for like an Electra, particularly women or shorter riders. Great review

I am big guy and prefer Fat Tire e-bikes but this a very nice bike. The Price and Made in the USA angle makes this an excellent choice for a lot of entry-level buyers

[@tarstarkusz]

The question is though, how "made in the USA (with global materials)" is it? What parts are "made in the USA?" Like the motor? Is it a USA made motor? I'm guessing not. Where are the batteries made? America does make some lithium batteries, but I think it's mostly Tesla. Who makes the hubs and forks and frame? Is the frame made in the US with imported aluminum? I really dislike the ambiguity of something "made in the USA" Further, you would be surprised how little of something needs to be made in the USA to have that stamp on it. The American manufactuer only needs to "add" a certain value (and it's not that high) to magically turn it into "made in the USA"

[@KevCentral]

If ambiguity is the question there’s the fact that most of America’s steel and aluminum is exported to China to make products that are then shipped here to sell, so are they really China made if they used American metals? 😁

[@TrailFeatures]

I'm all for locally produced product. Yes, you can buy it cheaper elsewhere. However, if people really want to see more locally produced products you need to invest in the companies doing it. Think less of overpaying for something and more paying a bit extra to invest in your local economy.

[@harrygrimley4352]

[@mikekeller491]

NICELY DONE!

[@bobbybecker80]

The quality is excellent (I go past their store in Newport Beach, CA from time to time and stopped once to look at the bikes). However, notice "globally sourced" on the box. I'm almost certain the MXUS motor, aluminum frame and many other parts are made in China. You're able to put "Made in America" on the product based on the amount of value added, which may be enough by assembling the bike here.

[@bonzobanana1]

That was exactly the point I was going to make. Globally sourced means imported. Clearly assembled in the USA and painted if you choose that option. Maybe the frame comes in a couple of colours from the factory in Asia and then they prep and respray the frame if you choose a different colour option. The packaging is likely manufactured in the USA and it sounds like the wheels are also laced in the USA in addition to the overall assembly of the bike. I am in no way knocking what they are doing but depending on US import charges and tariffs I guess you could pay a small premium for US assembly. In Europe the EU puts tariffs on complete ebikes from China which I think is 80% so a $300 ebike (factory door price) from China becomes a $540 ebike plus any additional taxes on top etc. So you get a lot of assembly plants in Europe of basically Chinese made parts this just feels like the US version of the same situation. In Europe many ebikes are assembled outside China to avoid tariffs like Cambodia, Vietnam etc. Since the UK has left the EU we have kept the EU tariffs but now they are paid into our own exchequer rather than into the EU and its a significant amount of money. I suppose you can basically make a judgement what is better for the US economy, tariffs being paid into government or assembly plants etc. Saying that I don't know if Biden continued the tariffs that Trump instigated and how they work in the US.

[@brianwalker9793]

@@bonzobanana1 good points but I think you should also factor in that a good percent if not majority of people buying a bike like this have zero wrenching and tech skills. I have a Ride1Up Roadster (fantastic by the way!) And am on the owner message board. Even the simplest tasks like attaching the seat the right way have many flummoxed and paying $200 to local bike shop to assemble and tune. Getting a bike fully tuned and assembled in this condition is easily worth a premium to lots of new riders!

[@TheWrigle]

Yeah, I was wondering if any of the individual parts were actually manufactured in the US. In my opinion, if you want to claim "made in the US," you should have to start with raw materials, not finished parts you just assemble. There are some high-end bike companies like enve, guerilla gravity, and I9 that actually make bike parts here in the US, but it would still be impossible at the moment to truly manufacture a bike solely in the US. If a company isn't calling out exactly which part they made in the US (frame, rims, hubs, etc) they likely aren't actually made in the US. I work for a bike company that builds wheels here in the US. I have built a bunch myself. Even though the hub was manufactured here in the US and the rims are designed in house, the rims and spokes are manufactured in Taiwan, so I wouldn't slap a "made in the US". sticker on it even if we likely could under law.

[@bonzobanana1]

@@TheWrigle You sound very decent and honourable but business typically doesn't follow such ethics. A huge amount of German products are actually from the far east and merely reboxed in Germany to claim 'Made in Germany' in what they call the 'last significant process rule' i.e. the last place where any processing of a product is done can claim to have manufactured the item. It's all a bit of a farce so you have to be a little sceptical of all claims. I also question 'Designed in the USA' when the frame is pretty much designed and tested in Asia. You see this everywhere across products from many different countries be it Germany, Italy, France, UK etc. However that said its still great to have local assembly in the USA providing jobs etc and when Chinese products become too expensive perhaps more of the product will be made in the USA.

[@bobbybecker80]

I agree, but there are rules that permit this practice. I asked a Bosch higher up once about their motors which are "made in Germany" about the components. He said they were out sourced, so the practice is pervasive.@@TheWrigle

That's quite pricey, but quite a bit less then I thought. As an aside, I've joined the ranks of E-bike people.

I want those cutoff-equipped hydraulic brakes, the Schwinn's brakes are having a time of stopping from 15mph over and over again... That said, It makes a fun E-MTB. (for those curious for a comparison, Battery is also 48v, but only 10AH. was 190, motor was 350, and I bought a kickstand for 15 because the stock kickstand mount was coopted for the motor's torque arm in a setup janky enough that Kev would likely not want to touch it, lol. oh and one of those 'micky mouse' shimano shifters for another 12 since the EZFires where replaced and an Ibera large frame bag which turns out to be an exact fit for the triangle to put the battery. Plus a bottom bracket tool and a breaker bar. I'm like 600 and change in. As an aside. I understand why Kevin likes those 1X conversion cranks that let you use your existing square-taper bracket.

This may seem pedantic, but "built in the USA" is not the same as "made in the USA". The latter is a federally regulated term meaning all or virtually all of the product is made in the U.S. while the former just means it was put together to some extent in the U.S., which I suppose is better than nothing, but probably 95+% of the components are made in Asia.

[@KevCentral]

Which regulation states that? Because my Craftsman riding mower says “made in USA - using Global components” There are lots and lots of globally sourced parts on it, yet it legally qualifies as made in the USA. Furthermore, I know someone that works in manufacturing at a plant that proudly touts “made in USA” and the wood they use if from outside the US and the fasteners are from China. I believe there is a certain percentage of processing that make it considered Made in the US. I would be surprised if there were a regulation that said all or virtually all of a product must be from US sourced supplies.

[@truracer20]

1000w max wattage is easily possible. If the controller is allowing a maximum of 20a then 54.6v x 20a = 1092w. And that would in fact be the maximum. Nominal would be 48v x 20a = 960w, even that would be "close enough" for most marketing departments to call it 1000w nominal. The average of the maximum and nominal is 1026w. Mininum wattage assuming a 42.9v low voltage cut off would be 858w, so the average between maximum and minimum wattage would be 975w. 20a from the controller is well within reason. Bafang BBS02B mid drive motors are limited to a max of 25a and BBSHD mid drive motors (from most vendors ) start at 30a abd can be programed for a higher current limit. This is just an example of how 1000w max isn't a far fetched fantasy. It's just a matter of what the controllers current limit is set to.

better off spending 400$ on a 52v 20ah battery, 450$ on a bafang bbs02 750w mid drive, put it on any bike of your choice.

@@jckdnls9292 It's nonetheless true and does address those that balk at the price of some of them. There are some budget options. Why is it so bad that I point that out to you or whomsoever? If you don't care maybe someone else does. It's nice that the channel has pointed some out. That's all I'm saying. I don't see why this is problematic for you. I myself am a little alienated by the prices of many of these e-bikes. I think my response was fine and reasonable. Have an okay day...
