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.

13 reasons not to buy
- A 5'11" reviewer feels cramped despite the stated height range of 5’3” to 6’3”. NAKTO formerly suggested rider heights up to 5’9”, and testers agree.
- The fixed seat means prevents most riders from getting proper leg extension while pedaling.
- A tester hauling 100lb of cargo feels the bike is unstable while climbing or descending.
- One reviewer says power delivery is jerky when using pedal assist.
- Testers say the mechanical disc brakes lack power, and they shudder when stopping from high speeds.

- NAKTO states an unlocked top speed of 28mph, but experts fail to exceed 24mph with the throttle or PAS.
- Reviewers experience ghost pedaling past 20mph.
- A reviewer complains of pedal strikes when leaning the bike just 10 to 15° on flat pavement.
- NAKTO doesn't provide any information on suspension setup.
- Three test bikes arrive with scratched or damaged batteries, one with a scratched frame, and two with broken bottle cages.
- One test bike’s battery has a defective power switch and a broken power indicator LED.
- A reviewer's motor shuts off inexplicably during a test ride.
Bottom line
The NAKTO F4 is a moped-style cargo e-bike with fat tires, a 750W motor, and a large 960Wh battery. The smooth ride and comfortable upright riding position impress testers who fall into a narrow height range of around 5'3" to 5'9". The F4 has a large cargo basket and 400lb capacity, but the bike feels wobbly when loaded with heavy cargo. Other issues include jerky power delivery, inconsistent power distribution, weak brakes, pedal strikes, and ghost pedaling. Additionally, the majority of test bikes arrive damaged. Overall, NAKTO's F4 has far too many issues to be recommended. Instead, consider the Aventon Abound LR or Lectric XPedition 2.0.
