The Propella 7S e-bike is an excellent option for entry-level e-bike riders as it boasts a healthy mix of affordability, quality, and simplicity. When designing the 7S, Propella sought to create an accessible, familiar e-bike for riders who have previously ridden manual bicycles. As such, this bike utilizes similar mechanisms, such as a geared drive system, pedals, chains, and a familiar braking system. On top of this, the bike eloquently includes electric pedal assistance from a 400W Bafang motor.
This e-bike achieves a maximum range of 40 miles while in pedal-assistance mode, or roughly 20 miles in full-electric mode. The 7S takes two and a half hours to recharge, meaning quick pitstops are enough to gain tens of miles of range. Additionally, this bike is lightweight, clocking in at only 37 pounds while fully equipped, which is achieved by its aluminum frame and thin tires.
