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!

Bottom line
The CYCROWN CycRun is a budget motorcycle-style e-bike with fat tires, a 750W motor, and a 374.4Wh battery. It earns praise for being a smooth and comfortable ride over bumpy pavement. The CycRun's 20mph top speed makes it suitable for beginners, but most find the power underwhelming. Other complaints include delayed pedal assist, tall sizing, poor range, weak brakes, ghost pedaling, tires that lack grip, and inconsistent power delivery. CYCROWN's reputation is questionable, with reports of unfulfilled warranties, and the company provides sparse, contradictory product details. Overall, the CycRun's many issues overshadow its budget pricing.
