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!

11 reasons not to buy
- Pedal assist takes one revolution to kick in when starting from a stop, and over two revolutions to reengage after coasting.
- An expert says the motor struggles on steep hills, requiring a lot of input from the rider.
- The narrow 635mm handlebars reduce rider control, in one expert’s opinion.
- A tester says the frame geometry creates a higher center of gravity, which decreases stability.
- Reviewers complain the color display is difficult to see in the sunlight.
- The 120mm suspension fork is too stiff and does little to improve ride quality, according to several testers.
- The display is integrated with the stem, so the stem can’t be swapped to improve fit.
- An expert receives the bike with heavy scratches due to poor packaging.
- The minimum seat height of 35.4” is too tall for riders at the low end of the 5'2" to 6'5" height range.

- Eskute owners say customer support is difficult to contact and not very helpful.
Bottom line
The Eskute Spark X is a 750W fat-tire e-bike with a large 960Wh battery. Reviewers praise the range, speed, brakes, and tech features such as cruise control and companion app, though phone compatibility is limited. The ineffective suspension fork and instability at high speeds draw criticism. Additionally, all testers complain of delayed pedal assist activation when setting off, changing assist level, or switching from throttle to PAS. Contrary to Eskute’s marketing, this is not an actual mountain bike. Overall, the Spark X fails to stand out in a competitive fat-tire e-bike segment. Alternatives include Ride1UP’s Rift and Aventon’s Aventure 2.
