The Jetson Bolt Pro is an extremely affordable compact electric bike sold online and through big box retailers such as Costco. Available in one frame size and one color: satin black with gloss black accents. Optional front and rear baskets sold separately. 265lb max weight capacity. The 350 watt hub motor gets a mechanical advantage from the smaller 14" wheel size, and operates without making too much noise. The single speed drivetrain is quiet and simple, the chain is unlikely to fall off. Included mudguards and chain cover help keep you clean. Battery weight is kept low and center on the frame. A handle slot allows for easier lifting of the bike, and the steer post folds to make it more compact. Integrated headlight and included clasp-on rear light improve safety. Mechanical disc brakes have motor inhibitor switches. Most metal parts including frame, fork, seat post, steering post, handlebar, and crank arms are steel which increase weight and potential for rust. The bike weighs 43.2lbs and the battery is not removable. Battery charge port is in the path of the left crank arm. Very limited display readouts, only one level of pedal assist, I had reliability issues with motor power and pedal assist.
