My latest review is the cherry red HovBeta from Hovsco It has one of the most attractive paint jobs ever seen on an ebike. But how does it ride? Lets find out.
First lets talk price and colors. It sells for $1,399 and also comes in purple. The red paint job on my model is stunning up close. Accessories like fenders and rack are extra.

Power: the motor is a 750 watt rear hub which peaks at 1300 watts. It features a solid 90nm of torque for great off the line take off power. The battery is a 48V with a respectable 15ah of juice. That should get you close to 40 miles of range. A 3 amp charger is provided which means only 5 hours to fully charge it.
Sizing: the HovBeta weighs just 66lbs. Payload comes in at 450 lbs. It is 67 inches long but it folds for easy storage and transport. Rider heights are listed at 4″11 to 6″3.
Gearing: 42T chainring, 7 speeds and 14-28T Freewheel. It also comes with a torque sensoe=r for more real world pedaling.
Tires & Brakes: 20×4 off road fat tires, 180mm brake rotors and hydraulic brakes offer decent stopping power.
Overall I think the HovBeta is a good value. I was able to hit 26MPH on throttle which is a nice touch. The looks of the ebike are its best selling point. Its an eye catching two wheeler.
