Why do Robocycle eBikes have fat tires?

Fat tires give you a wider surface area to cover a larger area while riding. This means that going over uneven surfaces will be much smoother, giving you a more enjoyable ride!

Can I ride Offroad?

Of course! Robocycle eBikes are meant for the path less traveled. It was our mission to take you places you couldn’t otherwise venture. Remember to take extra care of your bike and regular maintenance to ensure years of experience.

What is the rider height these bikes are meant for? What about rider weight?

All our Robocycle eBikes are meant for riders between 5’4 and 6’6, rider weight is up to 350 lbs.

Do I need to pedal to ride?

Unlike many electric bikes, Robocycle eBikes have three ride modes: throttle-only, pedal assist, and pedal-only (with 7-speeds). All of them are really easy to use and you can switch between them on the go! 

Throttle-Only = No pedaling required! Just use the twist throttle as if it was a motorcycle and rip away. Depending on the terrain, you can reach upwards to 52 km//h. 

Pedal-Assist = It’s pedaling made easy. You can choose from a variety of levels, and the motor will provide a corresponding amount of power outputs as you pedal. Depending on the top speed of your bike, the motor will stop giving your assistance when you reach it.

Pedal-Only = Not the reason you bought an electric bike, but nice alternative to treat your Robocycle exact same as any 7-speed bike. Looking for a little more resistance, potentially a workout. This is your mode. In addition, it’s great if you ever do run out of battery power.

Why Can’t I reach above a certain Speed?

Our bikes come set to 32 km/h out of the box, please feel free to reach out to us on instructions on how to increase your top speed free of charge!

Are the Handlebars adjustable?

How do I fix a flat tire?

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Deflate the tube completely (if necessary)
  2. Pop a small section of the tire off the rim and insert your tire lever. Gently drag the lever all the way around the edge to pop the tire off the rim
  3. With your hand, pull the tube out from underneath the tire. Set aside.
  4. Take the tire completely off the rim
  5. With the new tube, put the stem back into the tube with your valve tool and screw the stem in
  6. Gently air the tube up a little so it takes shape
  7. Make sure you orient your tire on the wheel, so the tread is facing forwards
  8. Insert one side of the tire onto the rim
  9. Find the hole for the stem on wheel and spin the wheel until that hole is at the top
  10. Push the top half of the wheel through the tire to the other side
  11. Insert the stem of the new tube into the hole, and then start to push the tube underneath the tire all the way around the wheel. The tire will eventually sit loosely on around the wheel with the tube inside
  12. Air up the tube a little more
  13. With your tire lever, start to feed the tire back underneath the rim all the way around both sides
  14. Make sure nothing is hanging out or bulging. Air up the tire until it is firmer and reattach it to your bike
