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!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the TENWAYS CGO800S. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

10 reasons to buy

  • Testers praise the responsive pedal assist and smooth delivery of power.
  • Experts find the relaxed, upright riding position comfortable.
  • The Gates Carbon belt drive is quiet, grease-free, and low-maintenance.
  • The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes prove powerful in testing.
  • The CST 700c x 48mm tires are puncture-resistant, and reviewers say they roll fast and provide good traction on wet or dry pavement.
  • Testers ranging from 5'3" to 6'5" say the bike fits.
  • The CGO800S comes with fenders, a rear rack rated for 44lb, a headlight, and a taillight. The taillight has turn signals, though they aren’t very bright.
  • In a PAS 5 range test, one reviewer gets 28.4 miles and 2,400 of elevation gain on a paved route.
  • Experts compliment the CGO800S’s sleek, minimalist design and uncluttered cockpit.
  • Reviewers appreciate the quiet Mivice M070 350W motor.

9 reasons not to buy

  • Experts find the 350W motor underpowered on steep gradients, requiring significant effort from the rider.
  • The CGO800S doesn’t have a throttle.
  • A 150lb reviewer finds the non-adjustable suspension fork too stiff; another says it bounces and loses traction over repeated bumps.
  • Experts and owners find the rear rack’s platform too narrow.
  • Cockpit fit adjustments aren’t possible due to the stem-integrated display.
  • The taillight doesn’t have brake activation.
  • The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes lack motor cut-off.
  • Experts say the vague instructions make assembly time-consuming.
  • Removing the rear wheel to fix a rear puncture requires re-tensioning the belt and disconnecting the motor cable that’s “buried” in the chainstay.

Bottom line

The TENWAYS CGO800S is a single-speed Class 1 commuter with a Gates Carbon belt drive, 374Wh battery, and 350W motor. The step-through frame only comes in one size. Reviewers praise the smooth pedal assist, quiet operation, range, powerful brakes, comfortable riding position, and clean aesthetic. The bike’s climbing performance is poor due to the 350W motor and single-speed gearing. Testers complain about the low-end suspension fork, vague assembly instructions, and narrow rack. The lack of throttle may deter some buyers, but overall, experts consider the TENWAYS CGO800S a solid e-commuter with impressive specs for this price point.
