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 Puckipuppy Labrador. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
6 reasons to buy
- The Labrador is available in three colorways, and reviewers compliment the camo finish.
- A reviewer says the Labrador arrives well-packaged.
- One tester praises the sensitive pedal assist and quick acceleration.
- This bike’s payload capacity of 400lb is above average.
- Reviewers agree the saddle is comfortable.
- Testers think the Labrador offers good value, but the price has gone up since the reviews were published.
12 reasons not to buy
- Testers complain that the motor struggles on steep inclines.
- A reviewer’s controller or motor overheats on a moderate paved climb, causing a large drop in power until the bike is allowed to cool. This test wasn’t carried out on a hot day.
- Puckipuppy rates the Labrador for 5’4” to 6’6”, but the 32.7” standover height means riders under 5’8” may struggle to fit.
- This bike is heavy at a claimed 75lb without accessories. An expert says it’s hard to manage the weight while riding off-road.
- Two testers recommend taking the Labrador to a professional for tuning to get it running smoothly, as it feels “shaky” once assembled.
- Puckipuppy doesn’t offer a rear rack for this bike, and fenders cost extra.
- A reviewer gets just 10 to 15 miles of range while testing the bike off-road.
- One expert feels the wide saddle doesn't suit the off-road riding for which the bike is marketed.
- One tester’s chain drops twice in seven miles of off-road riding.
- The noisy brakes frustrate one reviewer.
- When unlocked, the throttle reaches 28mph, which is illegal in most states.
- Customer reviews for the Labrador are highly suspect and appear to be fake.
Bottom line
The Puckipuppy Labrador is a full-suspension e-bike with fat tires, a 750W motor, and a 960Wh battery. Puckipuppy claims this bike is "powerful, and built for any mountain adventure..." but one tester's bike overheats on a moderate paved climb, the cheap suspension provides little benefit on even light off-road terrains, the off-road range is poor, and the bike is heavy. Two testers seek professional tuning to get the bike running smoothly, and the height range is exaggerated, among other issues. While the camouflage Labrador may look the part, it's little more than a cheap, oversized urban runabout.Expert Reviews
