The name says it all. The EVRYjourney 500W from sixthreezero tops the list as the most affordable and functional electric bike for 2023. This touring bike comes with a 500 Watt rear hub motor to get you where you want to go. The ergonomically designed frame will ensure you get there comfortably, too. The handlebars curve into the body of the rider allowing the rider to sit upright and not have to lean over forward at all. This reduces pain on the riders back, shoulders and wrists. This will allow riders to go on longer journeys without feeling pain on their ride. One of the key features this electric bike is the forward pedaling pedaling design. The pedals are moved forward 6" which is different from traditional bike frames. This allows the seat to be lower to the ground while riders will still get proper leg extension when riding. The reduced leg extension as a result of the seat being lowered will be made up for by the pedals being moved forward. This means the rider can get their feet flat on the ground when stopped ensuring the rider can stop safely.  

The EVRYjourney e-bike has many of the same design features as our standard bike; we just added a motor to get you a little extra push when you need it. The motor gives you options. You can ride the bike like any hybrid and get your cardio for the day. The pedal assist option provides if you need a little assistance going up a hill or riding against the wind. Let the motor do all the work if you are worn out or just looking for an exercise-free ride—no need to pedal. 

The Reviews:

“This is an excellent bike, and sixthreezero provides excellent customer service. I wholeheartedly recommend both the bike and the company.”

Pros:

• 500W motor
• 500W battery
• 15 mph on full electric
• 20 mph on pedal-assist
• 26-inch wide tires

Cons:

• As a cruiser bike, it is a little heavier.

If you were looking for a cruiser instead of a touring bike, then sixthreezero offers the Around the Block 500W. This classically styled beach cruiser has a 500 Watt rear hub motor and 500W battery, just like the EVRYjourney.

Also, like the EVRYjourny, the Around the Block offers you three ways to ride the bike: pedal-only, pedal-assist, or full throttle. The frame design is also ergonomic but in classic cruiser style. The pedaling position provides full leg extension to keep you from feeling pain in your lower back, hips, and knees.

The Reviews:

"I absolutely adore my sixthreezero e-bike!" Riding long trails with hills is now a lot of fun for me, whereas it used to be exhausting or near impossible."
