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!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Jansno X50. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
8 reasons to buy
- The X50 comes with lights with turn signals, a loud horn, and fenders.
- The half-twist throttle is responsive and easy to modulate, according to testers.
- Jansno includes assembly tools, a pump, a bike lock, and a neck buff.
- Owners praise Jansno’s customer support for quickly resolving their issues.
- Users can program the X50 to have up to nine levels of pedal assist.
- Reviewers and buyers appreciate the upright riding position and comfortable ride on pavement.
- Owners and testers enjoy the plush moto-style seat.
- A tester maintains high speeds of 28mph to 30mph on flat ground with the bike unlocked.
15 reasons not to buy
- Many owners report persistent flat tires and serious electrical failures shortly after purchase, including chargers, batteries, controllers, motors, and headlights.
- Multiple buyers highlight the incomplete or sloppy frame welds, resulting in broken or bent frames.
- Buyers and testers receive bikes with shipping damage, scratches, and parts loose in the packaging.
- Two testers note a very long lag of around three seconds for pedal assist to activate.
- Changing settings in the display is confusing, and the online user manual isn’t helpful.
- Testing shows the mechanical disc brakes lack stopping power. The 160mm rotors are also too small for a heavy, high-speed e-bike.
- Experts report ghost pedaling at speeds above 22mph.
- Reviewers find the motor slow to accelerate and not exceptionally powerful.
- The X50 is heavy at 88.1lb
- With a 34" seat height, the X50 may be too tall for riders under 5’9”.
- The suspension fork and rear shock are stiff, non-adjustable, and creaky, according to owners and reviewers.
- The moped-style frame and fixed-height seat don’t allow enough leg extension for comfortable pedaling for most riders.
- Testing shows the speedometer skews 2mph high and the battery indicator is inaccurate with the motor under load.
- Reviewers complain about the floppy, rattling fenders.
- The X50’s payload capacity is well below average at 264lb.
Bottom line
The Jansno X50 is a full-suspension moped-style e-bike with a 750W motor and fat tires. Complaints are seemingly endless. Owners and experts bemoan the low-quality frame and components, “underwhelming” performance on climbs, extremely laggy pedal assist, poor stopping power, inaccurate display metrics, and rattling fenders. The weight is also very high and the payload capacity is below average. Dozens of owners experience issues ranging from serious frame and electrical failures to broken components and shipping damage. The number and severity of problems reported by X50 owners indicates a blatant disregard for quality control from Jansno. This e-bike should be avoided.Expert Reviews
