Powerful moto-style bikes with an independent test that tempers the claims, and the strictest return terms in our e-bike reviews
PEDAL Electric sells moto-style electric bikes: the AWD [S] with a 1000W motor on each wheel and a 1200 Wh battery, the CORE 3.0 with a 1000W rear motor, and 750W S/T and H/T models, plus bundles and accessories. It says speeds range from 20 to 36 mph depending on the model.
Electric Bike Report tested the AWD [S] and found it strong, with a plush ride and above-average braking, but measured 106.5 lb against a claimed 85 lb, a throttle-only range of 45.89 miles against a claimed 45 to 80, a throttle that overshot its class 2 limit and weak front-wheel traction. It also says the bike falls outside the legal e-bike definition in many places. The return policy is strict: 7 days after delivery, assembled bikes are not returnable, a 20% restocking fee and return shipping are deducted, and batteries, bundles and sale items cannot be returned. We have not ridden any of these bikes.
Right for
- Experienced riders who want a powerful moto-style bike for private land or off-road
- Buyers who have checked local laws on speed, registration and plates
- People who will inspect the bike and decide within 7 days
Wrong for
- Anyone who needs an easy return after assembling and test riding
- Riders who need a bike that is legal on bike paths as a standard e-bike
- Buyers who want a light bike, since the tested AWD weighed 106.5 lb
+What it gets right
- Strong power. The AWD [S] has dual 1000W motors, and Electric Bike Report praised its power, suspension and large 1200 Wh battery.
- Above-average braking. The tested AWD [S] stopped in an average 17 ft 6 in against a class mean of 19 ft 3 in.
- Feature-rich models. The AWD [S] lists turn signals, an alarm, fenders, a rear rack and passenger pegs as included.
- Independent test exists. Electric Bike Report tested the AWD [S] and published measured weight, range and braking.
- Samsung batteries stated. The warranty page says the batteries are Samsung lithium-ion with a one-year warranty.
−Where it slips
- 7-day return window. Returns are not accepted more than 7 days after delivery, and assembled bikes are not eligible.
- 20% restocking fee. A 20% restocking fee and return shipping both ways are deducted from refunds when there is no manufacturing defect.
- Many items cannot be returned. Batteries, bundles, special orders and sale items are non-returnable.
- Claims versus testing. Electric Bike Report measured 106.5 lb against 85 lb claimed and 45.89 miles of throttle range against 45 to 80 miles claimed.
- Legal classification. The reviewer says in many places the AWD [S] is technically an e-moto and may need registration and a plate.
- Cancellation fees. A 12% fee applies to cancelled in-stock orders and 5% to pre-orders before shipping.
Weighted for product information, returns, shipping, price and independent evidence
Policy clarity and independent evidence carry the most weight. This is a desk-research score: we have not ridden any of these bikes.
The long version
What PEDAL Electric sells, what an independent tester measured, how pricing, shipping, returns and warranty work and what we could and could not verify.
What PEDAL Electric is
PEDAL Electric LLC sells moto-style electric bikes and accessories online. The home page compares four models: the AWD [S] at a sale price of $3,100 (list $3,600) with 1000W motors front and rear, a 1200 Wh battery and a claimed 40 to 80 miles and 32 to 36 mph, the CORE 3.0 at $2,350 with a 1000W rear motor and 720 Wh battery, the S/T step-through at $2,450 and the H/T hardtail at $2,250, both with 750W motors, 768 Wh batteries and a 20 mph speed. Range figures carry an asterisk on the page. A financing page, a reviews page and an accessories range are also listed.

Products and prices
On 30 Oct 2026, during an Early Access sale advertised as up to $1,200 off with free shipping, prices were $3,100 for the AWD [S], $2,350 for the CORE 3.0, $2,450 for the S/T and $2,250 for the H/T, against list prices of $3,600, $2,600, $2,800 and $2,500. Bundles ran from $2,690 to $3,500, and accessories included a $129.99 suspension seat post, a $200 front rack, a $250 kid carrier kit and a $79.99 pannier. Because sales run constantly, the list price tells you little, so judge the sale price.
What an independent tester found
The Electric Bike Report review of the Pedal AWD S (August 2026; the page does not say whether the bike was supplied) measured a weight of 106.5 lb against a claimed 85 lb and a throttle-only range of 45.89 miles on the rear motor, compared with a claimed 45 to 80 miles and a class average of 29.99 miles, and an average stopping distance of 17 ft 6 in. With the class 2 limit set, the throttle initially exceeded 20 mph, reaching about 24 mph before settling near 20, and with the limit raised to 28 mph, pedal assist 5 reached 27.0 mph. The listed strengths were power, suspension, range, braking, passenger seat and turn signals. The listed cons were throttle programming, trouble keeping front-wheel traction when the motor engages and the legal definition.
The reviewer says that in many places the AWD [S] falls outside the legal definition of an e-bike and is technically an e-moto, that registration and a plate may be required on public roads, and that it suits experienced riders, especially off-road or on private property.
Shipping
In-stock orders typically ship within 3 to 5 business days, and processing can take up to 7 business days if an order is flagged for fraud review by a partner service. Once an order is processed it cannot be cancelled or modified, and changes after processing forfeit replacement or refund eligibility. The company says it is not responsible for lost or stolen packages due to carrier issues, offers third-party shipping insurance at checkout whose provider handles damage and loss claims, and charges the customer for outbound and return freight and restocking if a delivery is refused without authorization.

Returns, cancellations and warranty
For bikes, returns are not accepted more than 7 days after delivery, and the bike must be unused, clean and in original packaging. Assembled bikes are not eligible. A 20% restocking fee is deducted from the refund, and the customer pays return shipping, which is also deducted. Accessories have the same 7-day window, a 20% fee and shipping costs both ways. Batteries, bundles, special orders, sale items, gift cards, gifted orders and open-box sales cannot be returned, and written approval is required before sending anything. Cancelling before shipping costs a 12% fee for in-stock items and 5% for pre-orders.

The warranty page gives a one-year manufacturer warranty to the original owner, including one year on the Samsung batteries, against manufacturing defects only. Wear parts such as brake pads, tires, chain and grips are excluded, claims need photos or video, and manufacturing defects including shipping damage must be reported within 7 days of delivery. Damage from off-road or stunt riding, which the bikes are marketed for, is listed as excluded.
What we could and could not verify
We found independent coverage, including the Electric Bike Report test above, and retailer listings, but we did not verify the brand's review pages or its claims of a 36 mph top speed and 80 mile range. The reviewer's measurements suggest planning around lower range numbers.
Buying advice
Check your state and local laws on speed, power and registration before you order, because a bike that exceeds e-bike classes may need a plate and may be banned from bike paths. Plan around the tested range, not the claimed one, decide within 7 days and before assembling, ask about a test ride, and consider shipping insurance. For a checklist, see our guide on is it an e-bike or an e-moto.

How this review was put together
This is a desk-research review. We have not ridden any PEDAL bike. Prices, policies and claims come from pedalelectric.com (checked 30 Oct 2026) and an Electric Bike Report review, and we report what we could not verify. We wrote our own text. The images are our own screenshots of public PEDAL Electric pages, taken on 30 Oct 2026 and shown for review and commentary; the content and branding belong to PEDAL Electric, and we will remove them if asked. We did not download or reuse image files or logos, and we did not review the brand's affiliate programme terms.
