- Battery: Power comes from a 48V 15Ah battery seamlessly integrated into the down tube.

- Dimensions & Weight: The bike measures 69 inches long, has a 32-inch seat height, an 18-inch step-over height, and weighs 71 lbs. It boasts a substantial payload capacity of 380 lbs, with the rear rack supporting up to 150 lbs.

- Lighting: The bike includes a rear brake light and a large front light for visibility.
Cockpit and Display: The handlebars feature plastic grips, a quarter throttle, brake levers, and buttons for power, lights, and horn. The display, with its orange background, provides essential information such as trip, voltage, battery level, speed, time, amps, and odometer readings.

Road Test Highlights:
- Speed: After unlocking the bike to its full potential, the reviewer achieved 27.9 mph with pedal assist. It’s noted that the bike uses a cadence-sensing system, requiring effort to reach top speeds, while throttle-only is limited to 20 mph.
- Hill Climbing: On a moderate incline, the bike maintained 10.3 mph with pedaling. On a 15% grade, it successfully ascended on throttle alone, with a lowest speed of 6 mph.
- Braking: The DY Island hydraulic disc brakes performed effectively, providing reliable stopping power.
Pros and Cons:
- Dislikes: The reviewer noted a few minor drawbacks, including the awkward placement of the control pad relative to the horn/light buttons, the use of cheap plastic grips, and ghost pedaling at higher speeds due to the basic 14-28T gearing.
- Likes: The King Bull Light Rider 2.0 offers excellent value for its price, decent power, appealing aesthetics, an effective front shock, and a bright headlight.
Overall, Chris Cross highly recommends the King Bull Light Rider 2.0 for its impressive value.
