Baicycle Quest 1 Ebike Review

If you are looking for a “low profile” ebike then the Quest 1 from a brand called Baicycle has an ebike for you. It does comes with a few quirks however.

The Quest 1 sells for $1,599 and comes in 3 colors: black, gray and white. Learn more. Thanks to a very short folding stem the handlebars are lower than most ebikes I get for review. It has one of the thickest rear racks I’ve ever seen.

Sizing

  • Recommended height: 5″4 to 6″2
  • Weight 70 lbs
  • payload 265 lbs
  • 68 inches long
  • 37L x 29H x 15W when folded

Specs

  • 20×3 inch tires
  • Hydraulic suspension fork
  • front light
  • Mechanical disk brakes
  • 180 mm rotors
  • 48 volt 15.3ah seatpost battery
  • 20 mph
  • 750 watt motor
  • LCD display

What I Like: overall styling, matte black paint, beefy rack.

What I don’t: Only a class 2 ebike, no brake light, seatpost clamp is stuck, very short handlebars.

This ebike is better for shorter riders with those low handlebars. I do wish it came with class 3 speeds however. The throttle only works in PAS 0 for some reason which is quite unusual. You can buy the Quest 1 here.
