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!

9 reasons to buy
- A reviewer praises the comfort on varied terrains thanks to the 4” fat tires and suspension fork.
- The small-diameter wheels and compact size make the bike easier to maneuver, say experts.
- Reviewers and owners appreciate the easy folding process.
- The bike is shipped almost fully assembled.
- HiPEAK offers the BONA in four colors.
- The BONA comes with integrated lights, fenders, a rear rack rated for 60lb, and mounts for a front basket.

- The folding frame feels solid, in one expert’s opinion.

13 reasons not to buy
- Owners complain that the BONA is heavy to lift while folded.
- Testers and owners report a two-second lag in the activation and deactivation of pedal assist.
- Reviewers say the BONA falls short of its claimed top speed of 28mph, maxing out at around 24mph.
- Experts and owners bemoan the jerky acceleration.
- The BONA struggles on steep inclines in testing
- Two testers find the handlebars uncomfortable.
- Experts note uneven power distribution across assist levels, with PAS 1 to 3 providing minimal power.
- Testers and owners complain that the squealing mechanical disc brakes lack stopping power.
- A reviewer says the suspension fork's rebound adjustment doesn’t do anything.
- The front brake caliper strikes the chainstay when folded.
- An expert gripes that the knobby tires are loud and vibrate heavily.
- The stem on one reviewer’s test bike loosens and chatters while riding.
- Handlebar height is adjustable, but the long stem means the lowest setting is quite high.
Bottom line
The HiPEAK BONA is a folding e-bike with a 750W motor, 720Wh battery, and fat tires. The bike earns praise for its low price, easy folding, and solid 350lb payload capacity. However, pedal assist and throttle power are delayed, uneven, and jerky. Testers struggle to reach the claimed max speed and they find the braking power insufficient, the bars uncomfortable, and the bike too heavy to lift, among other minor complaints. Overall, the BONA’s budget build means significant drawbacks. Alternatives include Ride1UP’s Portola and Lectric’s XP 3.0.
