Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the MEELOD DK200. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
5 reasons to buy
- MEELOD offers this bike with a rear hub motor and 624Wh battery (DK200) or dual hub motors and a 960Wh battery (DK200DM).
- This bike comes with fenders and integrated lights.
- The display, while basic, shows plenty of information. An expert appreciates being able to monitor battery voltage via the display.
- Owners savor the simplicity and reliability of the single-speed drivetrain, compared to a cheap derailleur.
- Owners and a reviewer admire the blacked-out aesthetic.
14 reasons not to buy
- MEELOD states a throttle-only range of 35 miles (single-motor build), but a tester gets just 15 miles using a mix of throttle and pedal assist.
- When the battery suddenly drops from three of five bars to empty, a tester must endure a painful four-mile ride home without assistance.
- A tester finds the single-motor DK200 struggles to climb hills.
- The claimed weight of 72lb for the dual-motor DK200DM is almost certainly wrong, particularly given MEELOD lists the same weight for the single-motor DK200.
- MEELOD states rider fit of 5'3” to 6'2”. Owners and an expert say the saddle is too high for the lower end of this range, and pedaling is uncomfortable for all riders.
- A reviewer experiences ghost pedaling from 16mph.
- Acceleration is particularly weak above 23mph, especially using the throttle.
- The DK200 reaches 28mph with the throttle, meaning it does not comply with Class 3 e-bike regulations.
- MEELOD claims the motors are 750W nominal output, but owners complain they’re actually 500W.
- The noisy, non-adjustable suspension fork has just 30mm of travel and bottoms out over small bumps.
- MEELOD provides incomplete, vague, and inconsistent specifications for this bike.
- A tester considers the brake light to be dim.
- Owners say the brakes are weak, the cadence sensor is laggy, and the tires wear out quickly.
- Owners complain about broken bikes and non-existent support from MEELOD.
Bottom line
MEELOD's DK200 is a motorcycle-style e-bike available with one motor and a 624Wh battery or dual motors and a 960Wh battery (DK200DM). The sole review is of the single-motor build. The reviewer praises the bike's looks and "comfy" saddle but complains about the cheap suspension, weak climbing ability and acceleration, ghost pedaling, and lousy range. Owners dispute MEELOD's claim the motors are 750W. They also bemoan the weak brakes, laggy assistance, and tall saddle. Even with its relatively low pricing, the MEELOD DK200 offers few reasons to buy, especially given owner complaints of broken bikes and non-existent warranty.
