BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Mokwheel Slate. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

8 reasons to buy

  • A 150lb tester covers 89 miles and 1,765 feet of elevation at 10.7mph in PAS 1 and 35.2 miles and 655 feet at 16.7mph in PAS 5.
  • Experts relish the responsive motor, which provides a "serious kick" in throttle mode.
  • The Logan hydraulic disc brakes perform well in testing, with reassuring stopping power and precise control.
  • The suspension fork effectively absorbs bumps, according to one tester.
  • Testers praise the comfort of the mostly upright riding position.
  • The Slate's display is removable and once removed, prevents the bike from powering on.
  • Mokwheel includes a headlight, taillights with brake activation and turn signals, a rack, a bell, and fenders.
  • The Slate comes in three colorways.

7 reasons not to buy

  • A reviewer demonstrates the stem folding the wrong way, resulting in a large folded footprint. Changing the stem is required to resolve the issue.
  • The Slate performs below average in one expert's standardized hill-climb test using pedal assist.
  • One expert says the acceleration feels abrupt and the assist less natural at PAS levels 4 and 5.
  • A reviewer reports difficulty seeing the display in bright sunlight or with polarized sunglasses.
  • The Slate lacks a mechanism to keep it together when folded.
  • The lowest gear (52/28t) is too high for anything other than mild gradients.
  • Mokwheel buyers report poor customer support and issues with replacement parts and refunds.

Bottom line

The Mokwheel Slate is a step-through folding e-bike with 3" tires. It's available in three colors and has a state height range of 5' to 6'2". Experts praise the range, braking performance, comfort, and responsive throttle. Testers bemoan the acceleration and clunky pedal assist at higher PAS levels. Additionally, a reviewer reports issues with the stem, which doesn't fold correctly. Many Mokwheel owners complain about poor customer support and problems addressing defects or getting refunds. While the Slate seems a decent option in this category, potential buyers should consider the brand's poor reputation.

The Mokwheel Slate Has a Big Problem…

Honestly, it is a pretty cool bike to look at… the big problem is that this is a folding bike, but it doesn’t fold right.
