It's relatively light for an e-bike at only 40 pounds with its battery and 34 pounds without. Of those I've tested, the Niner is the easiest to ride like a traditional bicycle. However, if you're somewhere in between and don't have space for multiple bikes, the Niner RLT e9 RD0 is the only bike you'll need.

It's not about exercise as much as it is trying to get from one point to another in a timely fashion and not show up all sweaty. I use e-bikes and scooters to run errands and commute to and from work. There's always been a divide between e-bike riders and hard-core cyclists because the latter think the former are cheating. But the resale value is good, along with the quality of the product. The price tag might be intimidating given how fast kids grow.

The battery performance will vary depending on the rider's size, terrain and assistance level, but I only had to charge it once after she used it on and off for a week. The seat was comfortable even for my larger frame, but again it's ergonomically designed to fit children. The bike handled great and didn't make any creaking noises when I hopped on and off. Both bikes support up to 160 pounds, but I took the Up 5 for a quick spin to confirm her feedback. The tires were great for going on- and off-road along with the front suspension. My daughter really enjoyed the ride, and there was little motor resistance that you might find on some other e-bikes. Instructions for assembly along with instructions for use are included and are also available on the company's website. I tested, or should I say my daughter tested the Up 5 and it was a simple and quick assembly process with some minor adjusting for my daughter's comfort, and the tools were included. The brakes are Promax hydraulic disc brakes and children's hand-sized ergonomic brake levers.

The fork has a hydraulic air suspension, adjustable compression and rebound damping, plus lock-out. The frame is made from lightweight, high-quality 6061 T6 aluminum with butted and hydroformed tubes. Riders can adjust bicycle assistance levels on the fly by using the touch sensor toward the front of the frame, with each level of assistance indicated by illuminating in different colors.

The Fazua Rider app lets you view bike data such as speed, mileage, battery charge, navigation, motor power and more. The battery can be charged on or off the bicycle. The Up 5 weighs just under 36 pounds while the Up 6 is 37 pounds.įor those not familiar with the Fazua system, it's a lightweight and compact battery-and-motor combo that can be easily removed, shaving off 7.3 pounds and leaving you with a high-end traditional bicycle. Woom currently offers two models: The Up 5 is $3,599 (£2,645, AU$4,790) with 24-inch wheels designed for 7 to 11-year-olds who are 50-57-inches tall, and the Woom Up 6 at $3,749 ( £3,665, AU$4,985) equipped with 26-inch wheels built for kids 10 to 14 years old who are 55-65-inches tall. There is even a non-assist mode for times they want to do it on their own. The Woom Up has three levels of pedal-assist up to 12 mph, to make those long rides with our kids painless and with fewer complaints. Some hills or distances can be intimidating at times and having that electric boost when needed makes getting out and about stress-free. The Woom Up e-bike has a unique design meant only for children and is powered by a 250-watt Fazua drive system combined with an SRAM NX 11-gear drivetrain, adjustable air suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes. In June, Woom launched its first e-bike for kids/teens in the US.
