Electric Bike Company Model C: Review and Give Away! 

We have never ridden an ebike but are looking at them. We are retired and traveling full time in our RV. Wife won her battle with breast cancer last year so we are living life as full as we can for as long as we can.

I just bought one for my wife. I live in Costa Mesa and their shop is 4 miles away. Stainless Steel chain and screws. No rust near the beach! They do their own painting.

My best friend and I tried eBikes for the first time about 2 months ago. We've been hooked, almost obsessed ever since. One way or the other, we plan to either purchase one and/or build one using a kit. If ever there is someone who would appreciate winning one, it's yours truly!

I am a senior citizen and just had to sell my motorcycle do to a health problem that caused me to loose my drivers license. So I been checking out ebikes so I can have some sort of transportation. Thanks for reviews.

This bike would increase my weight loss goals. Bolton Ebikes is incredible in the way the videos are compiled informing us novices to be better informed. Your a breath of fresh air on this industry. Thank you!

This would be a perfect bike for this 71 year old . Great review. Thanks for the nice review.

We have recently retired and are full-time rv-ing. I have tried a couple of e-bikes at local bike shops but they are above our pay grade. I have found that e-bikes are easier on my knees and I can still get the exercise benefit. We have been enjoying your videos, good source for information.

Like that style of cruiser with the bars how they are and one speed is perfect since I never rode anything but BMX years ago. The fact that it’s American built is the Best attraction! Thanks for the review!

Great presentation of the Model C from the electricbikecompany. I have ridden ebikes on a number of occasions but haven't has yet purchased one. I think that the Model C would be perfect for my wife. She likes the handlebars as well as the basket in the front. The simplicity of the style without the gears would suit her needs perfectly. Keep up the great videos.

I am 72 yr old, retiring, going to move into truck/van at least part-time to save $. I have been learning a lot from your channel about ebikes, & I can't wait to get on one. I don't want to go faster than 20 mph anyway. I think it would make living in a van/truck much more of an adventuring option that takes it easy on a senior's body. Plus it looks like its both useful (basket & back-rack, & retractable cord, stellar, like the fenders too!) & it looks like a lot of FUN!

I have never ridden an ebike before but am really interested in buying one. Figured it would make it easier for me with a below the knee amputation. Thanks for the opportunity bud

It is great that you are giving this bike away instead of receiving cash for your review. I wish the EBC would get a newbie who happens to be a senior citizen (like myself) to review. It's important because we are not young and fit like most of the people who review the bikes. If the Electric Bike Company reads this comment, I would love to receive an electric bicycle from you to review.

Never ridden an ebike, would love to own one, I have a 30 mile round trip to work that it would be perfect for. But at the end of the day I would give to my wife ,so she could keep up with me when I ride my mountain bike. Great video!!!

Dude Im watching so many e Bike vids, and you truly have some of the best content. Shoutout to your hardwork and intellect on fixing and putting together bikes bro. Hope to win but either way this channel is a huge success and hope it keeps growing!

Man !!! you could not have done this at a better time. I've been searching the web for the last 3 weeks looking at ebikes. I ran across your youtube videos and they have been a great help to me. I am fairly sure I have narrowed my choice down to two different ones. Thanks a million for all your help that you didn't even know you were giving me. Here's wishing you a lot of success.

I have ridden an electric bike at 71 it has transformed my riding and has enabled me to get out mountain biking.

I ended up buying one of these last summer and am extremely happy with this bike!

I bought a folding 20in fat bike for my brother. I had it for about 2 weeks before he got it. most fun I've had riding a bike. he thinks it's great too - rides it to work and around the area he lives in, just because it IS so much fun to ride. if I win the bike I would be happy to pay you to put on a gear set, derailer, and shifter before shipping it out. wish me luck !

I’ve never ridden an EBike before but I’m reviewing them on Utube with the idea of getting one. I’ve enjoyed your reviews and appreciate your point system. Keep up the good work and reviews. Oh yeah , really enjoyed your riding commentary with someone following you. It was easy to see the effort required pedaling at the different power levels while going up hill.

Just added a Bafang mid-drive kit to my mountain bike last week, and I'm hooked. Now if I got something like this for the wife it would be great.

Wow perfect timing! My wife and I rented electric bikes while snowbirding in Arizona this past winter and absolutely loved them. Our wedding anniversary is coming up so this would make a great gift.

I purchased an electric bike last year and love riding it...Just retired in February and this bike has allowed me to get out and get exercise I wouldn't have gotten otherwise... thanks for the video...

I have never ridden an e-bike before. Never even been on one. Looks like a great way to get out on the road and enjoy the beautiful New Hampshire scenery.

Haven't ridden an electric bike yet, but as a frequent bike commuter, I can see how nice it would be to get places without having to arrive sweating and in shoes and clothes appropriate for biking but not necessarily for whatever else I'm doing.

I just got a Rad City bike for myself and I love it! Now I'm looking for a nice e-bike for my wife... So good luck to everyone!

Seniors will love these features and ease of getting it out of box and getting on the road or sidewalk. Thanks

Looks good! Plan getting one as my retirement gift to myself! Been taking care of others for so long I neglected myself and I think this is the way to get in shape! Like that it unpacks easily and is fully assembled! 🧡

Thank you for the review! Best of luck to everyone!

I’ve dealt with them before and the EBC has been around for more than 10 years. Great quality products and excellent customer support!

Never ridden an ebike, but I do ride a bike and motorcycle. I enjoy the reviews and good standards for comparison among the many companies. The bikes look like nonstop fun.

Wow what a beautiful bike. Ive been interested in electric bikes since last summer when I saw the neighbor riding his. Nice presentation and informative video.

Thank you Kyle. Another wonderful video. 380 foot hill on my commute, and i ride winters, too. Would need second battery option or gears to make it in the winter.

Mid $2k sounds about right. My new Rad Rover was $1500. By the time I paid Velofix, bought fenders, racks, milk crate (keepin it real, lol!), etc, I'm at about that anyway. This looks very accessible for folks that don't want complications, and it opens up aftermarket customization or further factory upgrades. I really think there is a market for this, particularly for older folks that want to maintain their mobility. Hell: I'd ride it and be happy with it!

I do ride e-bikes and currently have 3 of them from 3 different companies. I love them all.

I've never owned an e-bike before. I'm looking into them for commuting & carrying/ transporting things. This e-bike seems great for a beginner like me! ✌🏾😉

Great review! My wife and I are 70ish yrs. , and this is the type of bike for us. Matter of fact I think she's gonna order one... It'd sure be nice to have a matching one:)

Never have ever ridden an E-bike, would like to try one. Afraid of my bike riding passion to be affected. But my teenage daughter would love a nice ride like this one.

I rode a ebike years ago. mid 40's now and interested in going back on the saddle again. love the Bolton videos. well done. Adrian/cork/ireland

I have been riding an Electra Townie e-bike for just over a year now. I carry it on the back of my motorhome and have ridden trails in FL, TX, CA MO, and many other places. Great exercise and experiences. At pert near 70, makes me feel like a kid again!

Hi my name is Ben and i work construction and i gust turned 50. So one day I saw a really cool ebike so i saw the price wich was $1995.00 so i went right to the stor and picked up one of there bikes and i loved it. I commute to work on it every day. It's just a 5 mile cummute but it does take 15 minutes up and 12 minutes down but a lot better timing then takeing a bus. Thank you for your reviews. I appreciate you. I don't think you ever reviewed a Joulvert bike but that's ok. It is a nice heavy duty bike. Take care and keep going your vary cool.

Just got my first ebike yesterday (RadCity), and am loving it. Planning to use it as a commuter. This looks like a great style for my wife...

The packing of the Model C was impressive. You still were a big part of me purchasing my Himiway. They need to take notes of better packing/shipping though. Love my Fat tire, but that model C would be great as a back up transportation source here in So. Idaho.

Haven't even so much as touched an electric bike. Interested in the concept just for cruising around when I don't feel like gearing up for a road ride. My wife would be more interested in the cruiser style than I would be. Thanks for the opportunity.

I never rode an e bike before I do love riding normal bikes the freedom you get, and the rush of air hitting your face going down a hill. Going up a hill on an ebike would be nice. lol 🛬🚵 this cruiser Model C looks very comfortable. nice review Bolton Ebikes I'm learning alot by watching your videos!

It’s fun watching you open your boxes like a big kid at heart thx bro ,my favorite thing to do is open up a new electric bike.

I own a ‘19 Rad Rover in a somewhat hilly area and agree that gears make a difference and possibly offering that as an option may make this bike style much more appealing to people living in different regions. I really like the cruiser styling but they traditionally are single speed which is not conducive to the terrain I encounter. Thank You for such informative videos.

I built my own ebike using a conversion kit and now I am obsessed with ebikes, This is a beautiful example and I would love to get one for son. I love your videos, Keep it up so I can keep watching. Thanks :)

I just ordered this bike. They have a great deal on them right now. I've talked with them on the phone, chat and through email. So far really good customer service. I rode a RadCity electric bike few weeks ago and loved it.

I have not ridden an e-bike yet but I have been researching like crazy! I like the fat tire bikes but not dure how they ride, but also like the cruiser style when chillaxing and putting around . I would probably use this one to commute to work 4.5 miles. Killer reviews. Thanks!🤙🏼

The alarm is the most important feature since many cities don't license them now. I'm a senior and have ridden in Santa Cruz and Bay Area CA. Would love to win this bike and pay to have it shipped immediately. Thank you for the review and outdoor test on a hill.

Impressed! Your e generous attitude deserves recognition. In this case I could’ve missed this company’s product entirely if I have not seen one of your previous reviews where is was a no brainer to subscribe! Thank you!

Thanks for pointing out all essentials of this bike. Ideal for my wife cruising in neighborhood and grocery shopping.

Rather than a bike I started my electric journey with a scooter with solid rubber tires, just until I solve the flat tires issue we have here in nyc. However, when I do get an an electric bike i will still have a scooter for short jaunts and visits into stores that don't mind bringing them inside. Thank you for bringing a high standard of knowledge delivery into this new field!!

I am a 72 , and it looks like something that would be good for me. I like the looks of it, it looks well designed. Good review!!!

Never ridden an ebike but I sure think this would be a great starter. Also love you review again as do I love all your reviews. Thank you for breaking it down for us and making it simple

I ride a 7 year old, 300w commuter ebike. I love it, never have to worry about hills or headwind!

Never rode one but have been researching for about 2 years now. I think I myself would prefer higher performance off road. Very informative Good Channel

Haven't ridden and Ebike yet, but have had several motorcycles in my time. Really impressed on the packaging of the bike, compared to others that you have unboxed. With regards to EBC's Model-C, like you mentioned has no gears for shifting on the inclines or hills. However, living in Florida shouldn't be a problem. The internal / retractable cord to charge the bike; how long is the cord approximately? I checked their website and couldn't locate it. While browsing around on EBC's website, the Models C & S were the premium bikes, Models X & Y are their standard bikes. Different components, etc. When reviewing your video about the seat, and seat post - I could not tell, if it had or has the suspension seat post (Suntour Suspension Seat Post). As far as accessories for the bike, there seems to be quite a few items on EBC's website. If you were to buy a rear basket, I would have a problem getting on the bike unless it's a step thru or Model-S. More than likely I would build or get a trailer for the bike, going to the local grocery store or to the local fishing hole with my fishing gear.

Outstanding packaging. Currently riding a 2017 Rad Mini 58 tooth crank 11/24 free wheel 4000 miles and loving it.

Loved the review. Only tried one once at a travel show. I'm 70 and in 2 months will be going full time RV and living my dream. Would love to have a bike like this to be able go through little towns and sightsee without having to take my camper. What a kick that would be!

Enjoyed the video! I’m brand new into ebikes and have been watching your videos and have subscribed to you and others in an effort to educate myself on ebikes! Thanks for your efforts! 👍😁

I have never ridden any electric bike. But, not for lack of trying. No place to rent one near me and no one I know has one. Thanks for the chance to win one!

I purchased 2 model R bikes from Electric bike co . We have ridden them 300 miles and love them . Thanks to your review of the model C i knew nothing about e bikes until I started watching your videos thank you

I think the handle bars are very nice.. I think sitting up-right would be a nice change from my Rover. I look forward to your next video!

I have been using a city Ebike for a little over a year now. Sure, if I had my druthers I would prefer a fat, fun, bike with an off road setting to open up more than street legal power. I love fun! As it stands however in reality I have to ride what accomplishes best what I need a bike to do. I don't drive so I ride to varied job sites within about a 30 mile radius, I have to carry (depending on the work) up to 80 lbs of tools which need to be put somewhere. I also ride to the market to shop, and of course I visit friends and have even been known to park at the local pub for a beer and some dinner. That bike is an excellent choice for someone that uses an ebike as I do. I would add that you make a good point about the current lack of gears, after a year of riding I can attest that in my area one really needs to do a great deal of shifting and the first thing I would do is gear it up. Judging by their apparent enthusiasm for customization and the fact the frame is gear and cable ready I'd say it is a safe bet there will be gear options available soon.

This bike would really help me out. Since my spinal surgery my mobility isn’t what it used to be. Count me in, bro.

I've ridden this. Very solid. You CAN add a derailleur.

I look forward to riding this bike. It will give me mobility since I'm handicap.

After my fourth heart attack, I gave up and was waiting for the darkness to come. Long story short, I now ride an ebike. I'm at 750 miles today. My doctor has noticed a marked improvement in my stamina and over all spirit. Stentman buy an e-bike. You will not regret it. Fun and the smile that you will have on your face will prove it was worth it. I like this bike and even though I was looking at the Bolton Worthog, I may look at this as my next bike. Being a senior citizen. I like the city cruiser look, the open handlebars and the large seat. This bike was made for us. Speed, comfort, and distance.

I am doing research of purchasing my first bike. So many options - so I thank you for your honest review. The aspect I like the most is that idea that in the future you should be able to order a costume bike which they will build and ship to you VERY WELL

I've never rode an Ebike. I have been looking & watching lots of RU-vid video's but haven't seen anything near what this is. Dang thing is perfect, it has a retractable cord to charge it with, there's no switching of gears just upping the power assistant level, the handlebars come out so you can be seated without your herniated discs in your back killing you. That front basket is perfect to harness the chihuahua in to go along for the ride with you. This bike looks perfect for someone who's been through some serious medical problems. The seat & handlebars for the back situation, the electric help when needed to go up a hill or if angina attack is coming on, hit the electric to take you home rather than sitting on the side of the road waiting for 1 of your kids to come pick you up. I have 5 stents & have had bi-pass on my LAD aka The Widow Maker & have between 10 to 16 angina attacks daily. Been to both back & cardio PT, can't use a treadmill, bicycle is the equipment used to get the blood going. I'm currently stuck on a Walmart weslo stationary exercise bike. Sure would be great to be out in the world again rather than stuck in my bedroom slowly peddling away on this uncomfortable thing. I liked the video, subscribed to the channel. Please put me in for the running, it would be like hitting the lottery, a true life changer especially where it costs nearly 3 months of what I get to survive on.

I so need this! Recovering from surgery for 3 herniated discs and am not able to pedal for long on my bike so can't use it. Since that's my favorite form of exercise, I am really depressed. This would get me out and about again.

7 speed shimano is now an option. Customer service and support is phenomenal. Double the battery power is now an option. I’m very happy!

it looks like a nice bike to ride around town. Now I have a nine year old Wisper 905 SE Sport.

I have ridden a model R and am actually getting one. Will be delivered in mid January 2021. Nice review!

I have not had the privilege to ride one yet. But being older I am looking to get one to make riding more fun and less taxing on the heart.

I think it was very generous of you to give such an honest and glowing review. I'm looking at the S type from them. Can't raise my leg for a high step. Everything I've heard is pretty good. But I'm also impressed by your knowledge and your designs. So if you have a model similar to the Electric Bike Company's S type you would make my choice considerably more difficult.

Looks like a bike I would like to own. Have been looking to buy or build an ebike for use on our new rails2trail project that just opened in my community.

This is a nice looking bike. Unlike you, I grew up at The Beach, and Cruiser bikes are what we ride! 😎 This is the style of bike that I have been looking for to make me get into the e-bike market. Good for going to the store (w/rack & basket) and general rides down The Boardwalk. The lack of gears is somewhat concerning. as I live in a moderately hilly area. However, after being athletic all of my life, DVT's have sapped much of the stamina from my legs. Thus, pedaling is not a major part of my arsenal anymore, and it sounds like this bike has enough power to compensate. The extra cushy seat.....perfect for those of us with vascular issues in the legs. Will DEFINITELY checkout this bike!! THANKS Kyle, to you and Bolton e-Bikes....for ALL that you do for the e-bike community, and for those if us who are trying to get educated about the world of e-biking so that we can join in. Your videos, knowledge, and presentation are excellent!! THANKS!! kevin.

I have not been on an electric bike before but I would like to try one. It looks like a really nice bike I wouldn't mind having it.

I have never been on an electric bike, but I am thinking about getting one for use in campgrounds.

I've only ridden an ebike once and I really want one.. This is the kinda style bike Ive been looking for perfect.... Another Great review

Wow! Great review. This bike looks like a tank. Would be a great Beach Boardwalk Cruiser here in Florida. Thanks for the introduction!

I live in Whistler and I have decided my next bike is going to be an Ebike. The Electric Bike Company Model C looks awesome. Thank you for the informative video!

I am a disabled/retired person and am looking for a bike so I can begin camping again. I have been learning a lot from these videos and truly have worked hard over two years to clean out my lungs after quiting smoking and walking daily to lose over 50 lbs.!!! I am very excited to have you as a resource and have gotten my field down to having you order me a Sondor Thin or build a lightweight version of your own due to my stairs, age, and other physical disabilities too. Thanks for such honesty and variety of quality products you make and offer. A hopeful future customer and contest winner :-) tonight! Peace and happy trails to all, John

I love single speed (fixie) bikes, but one of the issues I have always had with them is their gearing is often very tall. I have a Masi fixie that I lowered the gearing on which really helps. Yes, I lose some top speed and I need to spin a bit faster but it makes the bike much easier to ride. If they kept the single speed on this bike but put a lower gear ratio it would make those hills a lot easier. The rider would be able to put in more (human) power and take some of the load off the motor. There are many single speed conventional cruiser style bikes on the market and I believe this bike would appeal to the same customers wanting a super simple low maintenance bike.I love those handlebars! Excellent review, thank you.

This bike looks great! I would buy it in a heartbeat! I have a Copenhagen wheel on my specialized Sirius bike. Love the concept. It allows me to keep my bike and add the electric option by just adding the wheel. It is controlled by my iPhone and have no complaints except for customer service. Which is frustrating and a huge pain. I don’t know what happened to the service part of the business but I just gave up and shut up. For the price this bike is a winner! I would be happy to trade my bike for this one! Am going to their website to see what’s available. Thank you for the very informative video.

Looks like a nice well built bike. I've ridden a cruiser with a kit added to it. Battery didnt last long though.

Beautiful bike! Looks like ablast! I'd love to take that bad boy to the Lake a mile away from me on a daily basis!

Was looking at these bikes. Thanks for objectivity answering a lot of my questions!

Never road an ebike. Been a motorcyclist since dirt was created. As I get older and live near the ocean ( flat lander) this is right up my alley.

Hi, I never have ridden one but I would ride this one. I love the simplicity and power.

I have never ridden a e-bike, I do like the cruiser look and appreciate your thoural review Great video keep up the good work

I had ridden one about 8 years ago for a total of about 40 feet, no lie, it was my neighbors so didn't want to accidentally crash it. It had a lot of zip, pretty fun. Would love to get one.

Riding a RadRover over 500 miles commuting 12 miles each way. Loving it. PAS 2 or 3 on the bike trail and then PAS 5 on the road. I love having the power to get in and out of trouble with all those cages on the road.

Like the Bike! Just bought a nice Rad city & will definately be looking into this for arsenal.

Never ridden a bike. Looking to purchase soon. This bike isn't my cup of tea but would fit my needs. Would like something that looks a little more aggressive and had some off road capabilities. Appreciate the opportunity to win this bike.

Have been riding bikes for years. Just love it. Yet due to health issues just not able to ride anymore. Yet. Working to get back to it. Have not tried electric bikes. Have been studying up on them. So cool what's out there. Love video good information.

Certainly a nice fair evaluation of that bike. Really enjoyed watching it but I do see that not being able to pedal up a hill might definitely present a problem. Thanks so much
