Our verdict
Superhuman Bikes makes belt-drive e-bikes for US riders who want a light, cargo-capable commuter rather than a budget bike. It suits buyers who will use finance, and prices start at $1,000, a mid-market entry for a range that reaches $6,000.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Belt drive comes with hydraulic disc brakes, a combination that suits stop-start city riding and keeps an oily chain away from clothes.
- A removable battery and a claimed range of 112 km mean charging does not have to happen where the bike is parked.
- A top payload of 124.74 kg makes the range a real load carrier rather than just a ride to work.
- Finance is offered, so the Superhuman Bikes entry point of $1,000 can be paid in instalments rather than all at once.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so setup problems have both a phone route and a written trail.
Cons
- Frame warranty is 1 year and battery warranty 1 year, which is thin cover on the most expensive part of the machine.
- The money back window is a 14 day period, so a sizing or fit problem has to be settled quickly.
- Servicing runs through partner dealers rather than an in-house workshop, so your local options decide how easy repairs are.
- US is the only market listed and the assist class is us class 3, so the bikes are set up for a single country's rules.
Who it suits
- Riders who want a belt drivetrain, a throttle and a removable battery on the same bike rather than a bare commuter.
- People moving heavy things: the top payload is 124.74 kg, which covers panniers, a laptop and shopping in a single trip.
- Buyers willing to stretch up, since the range reaches $6,000 and includes heavier trail models as well as the entry bike.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff riders who want more frame styles: Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through, a broader set of shapes than commuter, road and emtb gives a Superhuman Bikes buyer.
- Anyone who needs a cargo or folding bike: Tern lists cargo, commuter and folding, and those types sit outside the commuter, road and emtb offered here.
- Riders who want fat-tire or folding wheels for sand and snow: HK Beirui Trade Co. lists commuter, folding and fat tire, so start there instead.
Plans and prices
The published prices for Superhuman Bikes are a purchase range, so read them as what the bike costs on the day you buy it rather than as an entry payment and a later renewal. A Superhuman Bikes bike starts at $1,000, and the most expensive in the range is $6,000. The gap between both ends is wide enough that the brand covers several budgets rather than a single price point. Budget for the whole machine on the day of purchase, motor and battery included, because there is nothing else to pay once the bike is in your possession. Read the entry figure as a floor rather than a typical spend, and the ceiling as a marker for the heavier trail models. Anyone cross-shopping on the lowest advertised price will find this brand above the floor of the market, so the model you pick matters more here than the badge.
How it compares on our data
On entry price, Superhuman Bikes ranks 67 of 149 brands in this data, which places it in the middle of the field rather than near the floor. On the top price the ranking is 125 of 145, a similar middle position across a slightly different set of brands. Both ranks sit close together, which tells you something useful: the brand is not cheap at the bottom and not exotic at the top, so the spread between its lowest and highest bike is the spread you would expect from a mainstream maker. The wider the gap between these ranks, the more the range is tilted towards either the entry or the top end, and here both are close. If you are filtering a shortlist on price alone, this brand will not appear at either extreme.
Core features
The parts list is stronger than the price tag suggests. Belt drive appears in the range, which suits stop-start city riding and keeps an oily chain away from clothes. A throttle is fitted, so the bike can pull away without a full pedal stroke, and power is not the headline: nominal power runs 250 to 1,000 W across the range. The largest battery listed is 840 Wh, paired with a claimed range of 112 km, and the battery is removable, so charging does not have to happen where the bike stands. Carry capacity is the other number worth reading, because the lightest bike listed is 15.4 kg while the top payload is 124.74 kg, a load figure for panniers and cargo rather than a rider weight. The thinner parts are the cover after the sale: the frame warranty runs 1 year and the battery warranty 1 year, with a 14 day money back window on top of both. Finance is offered, so the entry price can be spread across the year rather than paid in a lump sum, which helps most at the bottom of the range.
The company behind it
Superhuman Bikes is headquartered in the US, which puts the people who design the bikes in the same country as the people who ride and repair them. Support runs on email, phone and help centre: a help centre for the questions you can search yourself, email for anything you want written down as a trail, and a phone line for the problems that need a person on the other end. That mix covers most setup questions without a dealer visit, and it is fuller than brands that answer by email alone. What a support mix does not settle is the workshop question: a hub motor, a large battery and belt drive all need hands on the bike from time to time, and the nearest person who can do that work is a decision to make before you order rather than after. Because the same channels handle everything from sizing to servicing, it pays to put the awkward questions early, while you still have a choice of model.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Superhuman Bikes e-bike cost at entry?+
Superhuman Bikes bikes are sold outright, so the figures are purchase prices rather than a plan with an opening payment and a later renewal. The range starts at $1,000 and the top is $6,000. The gap between both ends is wide, so the model matters as much as the badge.
How far does a Superhuman Bikes e-bike go on a charge?+
The claimed range is 112 km, and the largest battery in the range is 840 Wh. The battery is removable, so you can charge it indoors or at work rather than only beside the bike. Claimed figures come from test conditions, so allow for hills, load and cold weather before planning a day around 112 km.
Which motor and assist does a Superhuman Bikes bike use?+
The range covers Babymaker II Pro, F5 Trail, Weapon. Drive comes from a hub motor by bafang, with nominal power running 250 to 1,000 W across the models, and the assist class listed is us class 3. A throttle is fitted, so the bike can pull away without a full pedal stroke, which matters on hills and at junctions.
What does the warranty cover after you buy?+
The frame warranty runs 1 year and the battery warranty 1 year, with a 14 day money back window on top. Read them before you pay, because the battery is the most expensive part of the machine. Repairs run through partner dealers, so the cover and the workshop are the same conversation.
Can it carry cargo or a child?+
The top payload is 124.74 kg, which is a load figure for panniers, a rack and shopping rather than a rider weight. The lightest bike listed is 15.4 kg, so carrying one up a flight of stairs is hard work. Check the payload against what you actually intend to haul before you order.
Do I need finance to buy one?+
Finance is offered, so the $1,000 entry point can be spread across the year rather than paid in a lump sum, and that matters more at the bottom of the range than the $6,000 ceiling. Buyers heading for the heavier trail model are usually paying outright. Ask for the full cost of the plan in writing before you sign.
Where is Superhuman Bikes based and how do I get help?+
The company is headquartered in the US and support runs on email, phone and help centre: a help centre, email for anything you need in writing, and a phone line for the rest. Because the base is in the US, the bikes are built for that country's rules, and the assist class listed is us class 3, which is worth checking before you ride one abroad.
How does it handle hills and wet weather?+
Brakes are hydraulic disc, which is the right starting point for wet roads, and a throttle is fitted, so a steep start does not depend on leg power alone. The lightest bike listed is 15.4 kg, so handling a hill in the saddle is easier than handling one while pushing the bike.
