Frequently Asked Question
Customer Reviews
I’ve been riding my Xplorer Step-Through for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really happy with it! It’s a versatile ebike that handles grass, gravel, and even beach rides surprisingly well. The torque sensor makes a huge difference—it feels so much smoother and more natural compared to other ebikes I’ve tried. Instead of a sudden jolt of power, it gradually kicks in based on how hard I’m pedaling, which I love.
That said, it is a bit on the heavier side, so moving it around when not riding can be a bit of a workout. But once I’m on it, the weight actually makes it feel really stable and planted. The step-through frame is also super convenient, especially when stopping and starting frequently.
If you’re after a comfortable, capable, and fun fat tyre ebike that can handle different terrains, this is definitely worth considering. Just be prepared for a bit of extra weight! Overall, a great bike that I’m really enjoying.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review of our Xplorer Step-Through ebike! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the ride and that the torque sensor is making a noticeable difference for you. We understand that the weight may be a bit of a challenge when moving the bike, but we're happy to hear that it actually adds to the stability once you're on it.
We appreciate your recommendation and hope you continue to have a great time riding your Xplorer ebike. Happy trails!
Best,
The Ridewave Team
I've been riding the Xplorer Plus e-bike for a while now, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The large seat makes long rides far more comfortable, reducing fatigue compared to standard seats. The bike is also incredibly durable, despite a couple of crashes it's held up really well, and that kind of durability gives me confidence that it will last a long time. The power boost in Tour and Sport modes is also highly appreciated. The extra power really helps when tackling hills and makes for a much smoother and more enjoyable ride.
Hi Matthew,
