Hovsco HovCity E-bike
Are you looking for an e-bike that you can cruise around the city with, ride through downtown
and uptown, or ride as a daily city commuter? Look no further. Here is my review on Hovsco HovCity E-Bike. The Hovsco HovCity Cruiser E-Bike is a favorite commuter e-bike for stress-free cruising and getting around the city.
We’ve had our first E-bike for a couple months now, and have been very pleased! Hovsco has many different styles of E-Bikes, come see why we chose and love the HovCity.
Everyday Commute
This extraordinary e-bike proves to be one of the bikes for an everyday commute. The HovCity
bike is loaded with comfort-driven features and has a clean, stylish appearance, a powerful
motor, and a one-of-a-kind LCD display, and it is reasonably priced. Before getting into the nitty gritty here is a quick snapshot of what the bike offers:

battery range indicator. - Price: $999.00 on sale right now!
Features
The HovCity comes equipped with a lot of features that you don’t typically see in a city bike.
The really nice added feature includes the fenders on both the front and rear wheels to help you
keep dry on a rainy day. What’s really nice about this bike is that it is IP4 waterproof. You can
ride our Hovsco bikes in the rain or through a puddle.
At the back of the bike, the rear rack can support up to 50 lbs of cargo. The front of the bike
comes equipped with a sleek LCD headlight that can shine a path up to 2 meters long. The front
also includes an LCD display that provides additional information while riding, including
Speedometer, Odometer, Trip Odometer, Average Speed, Max Speed, and Pedal Assist (PAS).
Assembly
The HovCity Step-Thru Cruiser was extremely easy to assemble. Like most full-size, non-
folding models, it comes mostly assembled with only a few easy steps remaining to complete the
process. It comes with a nice Hovsco multi-tool bag that contains all of the tools needed for your assembly and the user manual is easy to follow.
Ride
One of the main reasons my family and I wanted to get an e-bike is not only due to the active
lifestyle that we live but also because they offer a number of benefits over traditional bikes. They
are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and easy to use. They also offer a more enjoyable
and comfortable commuting experience, as they assist with pedaling and make it easier to tackle
hills and headwinds, which is a must with three kids, especially with the bike trailer hooked up. We can take all three kids, which has been a game changer! One seat fits on the back, and then the trailer on the tail. We use the Burley Dash RM for the seat on Hovsco’s Rear Rack, and Schwinn double trailer for the other two kids.
Versatile
We can take the HovCity E-bike in many different ways. We take it around the city downtown, riding into work, a joy ride in the neighborhood, around the trails by the lake, dropping kids off at school, or my favorite taking it to the grocery store. You can purchase a front basket for your groceries, or put them in the back trailer like I do. The HovCity is a perfect way to get around for many different reasons. Whether with all the kids, or solo, we have loved having this as basically our second form of transportation.

Much love,
