Our verdict

CYKE Bikes suits US riders who want a throttle-equipped e-bike in cargo, commuter, fat-tire, folding or electric mountain bike form, and it prices from $1,799. The trade-off is a heavy range and service routed through partner shops, so buyers after a light folder may prefer Tern.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A throttle is fitted, so riders get help on climbs and at junctions without leaning on pedal input alone.
  • Claimed range of 161 km on the Cheetah Hunting Ebike, plus the largest listed battery at 960 Wh on the Falcon S Full Suspension Ebike.
  • The Cheetah Hunting Ebike is rated to 204 kg of payload, so one bike carries gear and a second load, not just the rider.
  • A 30 day return window and a 2 year battery warranty back a purchase made without a test ride.
  • Range breadth: cargo, commuter and emtb types from one seller, where Kalkhoff's city, hybrid and step through types leave fat-tire and folding shapes uncovered.

Cons

  • The lightest bike listed is 29.9 kg, which rules out stairs, trains and flat-carry storage.
  • Finance is not offered, so the $1,799 entry price has to be funded in full at once.
  • Shipping covers US alone, so buyers elsewhere face freight and a local service arrangement.
  • Servicing runs through partner shops rather than a company network, so repairs depend on a third party finding time.

Who it suits

  • US riders who want throttle help on hills and at junctions, and who can live with a 29.9 kg floor on weight.
  • Commuters covering long distances who value 161 km of claimed range more than low weight.
  • Buyers who want cargo, fat-tire, folding and commuter shapes from cargo, commuter and emtb rather than from separate brands.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Riders after a city or hybrid bike, since Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through types, including shapes CYKE Bikes does not.
  • Anyone who has to lift a bike into a flat or onto a train, given the 29.9 kg lightest model here against Tern's cargo, commuter and folding focus.
  • Buyers outside US, who may be better served by HK BEIRUI TRADE CO., listed with commuter, folding and fat tire.

Pricing

CYKE Bikes lists its line-up from $1,799 at the entry end to $3,399 at the upper end. Both figures are the prices of the bikes themselves rather than a tier that changes after a trial period, so a buyer weighing cost now against cost later is comparing two points on one range rather than an introductory price against a renewal price. The entry figure is the floor for a new bike from this seller, and the upper figure is what the heaviest machines cost, with a gap between the two ends wide enough that the range reads as two different purchases. Models named by the brand include the Lynx Commuter Ebike, the Cheetah Hunting Ebike, the Falcon S Full Suspension Ebike and the Kingfisher Mid-Drive Folding eBike, so commuter, hunting, full suspension and folding briefs all sit inside one band. Riders after the smallest possible weight should treat $1,799 as the ceiling of their budget rather than the starting point.

Where it sits among rivals

On entry price, CYKE Bikes sits at 115 of 149 brands, which places it in the cheaper part of the field without making it one of the cheapest. On the upper price the picture changes, at 94 of 145. A brand that ranks lower on its upper price than on its entry price is one whose larger bikes are priced more competitively than its smaller ones, and that is the end of the range a commuter is most likely to look at, since full suspension and long-range builds sit there. The practical read for a buyer is that this is a place to shop for a bigger machine without automatically paying the most, and a weaker place to shop purely on the lowest ticket.

What it does well

The Falcon S Full Suspension Ebike carries the 960 Wh battery, the largest listed, while the Cheetah Hunting Ebike claims 161 km of range. A throttle is fitted, which gives riders input at low speed on climbs and at junctions without standing up on the pedals. The trade-off is weight, because the lightest model listed is 29.9 kg, and the lightest bike is not the one built for heavy loads. The Cheetah Hunting Ebike is rated to 204 kg of payload, which is where that weight earns its place for riders carrying gear, a child or a second load. Belt drive is not offered, so anyone who wants a belt drivetrain on a commuter should look elsewhere. After purchase, the battery carries a 2 year warranty and a 30 day return window covers a bike that does not suit. Finance is not offered, so a buyer funds the whole $1,799 entry figure or the $3,399 upper figure themselves.

Who runs it

CYKE Bikes trades as ACTCOM Inc. and is based in the United States. Buyers reach the company on email, phone and help centre, so help arrives by phone and written channels rather than a shop counter, which matters on an online purchase where a first ride is not part of the deal. Servicing sits with partner shops, so a local workshop is the practical route for a repair or a tune, and the same support channels answer questions on warranty cover. Buyers who want a seller that states its legal name and base country plainly will find both given.

Frequently asked questions

How much do CYKE Bikes e-bikes cost?+

Bikes are listed from $1,799 at the entry end to $3,399 at the upper end of the range. Both figures are purchase prices for the bike itself, so there is no later renewal step to weigh. A commuter shopping on a budget should start at the lower figure and check what that model includes.

Does CYKE Bikes offer finance or monthly payments?+

Finance is not offered, so the $1,799 entry price and the $3,399 upper figure both have to be funded in full at purchase. The nearest cover for a buyer paying outright is the 30 day return window, which allows a bike to be sent back if it does not suit the rider.

What range do CYKE Bikes e-bikes cover?+

The Cheetah Hunting Ebike carries a claimed range of 161 km, and the largest battery in the range is 960 Wh on the Falcon S Full Suspension Ebike. A throttle is fitted, so riders can hold speed on climbs without standing on the pedals the whole way.

How heavy are these e-bikes?+

The lightest model listed is 29.9 kg, which is a lot to lift into a flat or onto a rack. The weight buys carrying capacity, since the Cheetah Hunting Ebike is rated to 204 kg of payload, making a rider with gear or a second load the intended buyer.

What kinds of bike does CYKE Bikes sell?+

The line-up covers cargo, commuter and emtb types, so commuter, cargo, fat-tire, folding, step-through and electric mountain bike shapes all come from one seller. Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through types, which reaches city and hybrid riding that this range leaves out.

What warranty and returns come with the bike?+

The battery is covered for 2 years, and a 30 day return window sits alongside it for anyone who finds the bike does not fit. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so questions about either cover can be raised before a return is shipped.

Where do I get a CYKE Bikes e-bike serviced?+

Service is arranged through partner shops rather than a company outlet, so a local workshop does repairs and tunes, and support questions run on email, phone and help centre. A ul 2849 certification is stated for the Falcon S Full Suspension Ebike, and the drive is a bafang unit in a mid position, so a workshop used to that motor helps.

Can CYKE Bikes e-bikes be shipped outside the United States?+

Shipping covers US alone, so an overseas buyer has to arrange freight and a local workshop, and service runs through partner shops. Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through types, so a rider shopping outside US can put it on the shortlist.
