EVRYjourney 500W Review: Takeaway

A comfortable and quick utility and commuter e-bike that might replace your car, the sixthreezero EVRYjourney could well be used for almost every journey! Fun to ride and offering a decent range on throttle or pedal assist, this is a great electric bike that will serve most of your needs when it comes to shorter journeys.

Ideal for...

Commuting across town
Going to business meetings/events
Cafe/bar hopping
Cycling with the family
Half-day rides in the countryside
RVing at your favorite park

Overview of EVRYjourney 500W

With its ergonomic frame and good range, the sixthreezero EVRYjourney 500W is a good commuter and utility electric bike at a great price. 

If you’re returning to cycling and aren’t so fit, the thumb throttle will take you to 20 mph without breaking a sweat and flatten every hill in the way. It can even take you up to 28 mph on pedal assist — though this isn’t strictly permitted under the three-class e-bike system. 

Ergonomics and comfort are the name of the game with this electric bike. While the curved crossbar is an aesthetic element, it also allows you to get your foot over with ease because it’s lower at the rear than the front. At the same time, the forward pedaling position allows for optimal pedaling without your foot being too high from the ground. 

If you’re pedaling, the 500 Watt-hour battery will give you a great range of around 30 miles on typical terrain (40 on flat). That changes to 10-15 miles in real-world terrain on throttle only. Put together, this all makes for a great-looking electric bike that won’t challenge you (unless you choose to ride it hard!).

Reasons to Buy

If you want a comfortable and quick electric bike that’ll offer more than enough range for typical cycling, the EVRYjourney could well be the right electric bike for you. With its fenders and rack, you can carry your gear (including rider weight, up to 300 lbs) in less favorable conditions. 

We love this e-bike for its comfort. Let’s face it: sports saddles on many bikes be a pain in the rear! Even after 10-15 miles in the saddle, you won’t be walking funny with the extra-wide saddle. The ergonomics of this e-bike all work together to make for a bike that even less fit riders may find comfortable — even on a battery-testing 30-mile run.

Things to Consider

Sixthreezero says you can cycle up to speeds of 28 mph with pedal assist. The size of the smallest cog on the cassette is 14 teeth, which will mean that cycling at anything above 20 mph will require a very high cadence indeed. What this actually means is that you’ll be able to get battery support in nearly all your cycling, even on those downhill sections where you can ride hard.

Ratings

Power
4/5
4

Power comes from pedal assist or the thumb throttle. The rear-hub 500-watt motor ensures that most hills you encounter won’t cause you any trouble. You can even cycle at up to 28 mph on pedal assist — just be aware this is against Class 2 regulations.

The tires are semi-slick, meaning that most of the power you put through the pedals won’t be lost in friction with the road in rolling resistance.

Range
4/5
4

Given that most people travel no more than five miles in most of their journeys, the 20-mile throttle-only range is ample for this e-bike. On pedal assist (cycling gently), you might get 30-35 miles per charge.

Range can be impacted by terrain, headwinds, rider and cargo weight, and the maintenance of the bike. On a hilly route into headwinds, you’ll get fewer miles than on a flat route with the wind behind you.

Comfort
5/5
5

On the EVRYjourney 500W, the swept-back handlebars allow for an upright riding position, minimizing strain on the upper body. The wide, comfortable saddle and 26” wheels with 1.95” tires will make for comfort on paved roads and mixed-use paths. Your rear won’t feel it after many miles of riding.

Mounting and dismounting are easier thanks to the curved crossbar that eliminates the need to raise your foot so high. For those with lower mobility, the drivetrain is positioned so your feet are in front of the saddle, meaning you have a forward pedaling position. The pedals are also lower to the ground than on many bikes, ensuring you can put your foot down easily when not riding.

Durability
4/5
4

If you use it on throttle only, maintenance will be minimal on the EVRYjourney. You’ll only have to check the disc brakes every 1,000 miles or so. If you use it on pedal assist a lot, then the chain and cassette may need replacing every 1,000 miles.

Sixthreezero offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, but unlike its traditional bikes, only a one-year warranty on its other essential parts.

Style
4.5/5
4.5

You can almost tell this bike was designed in Southern California just by looking at it! With its sweeping curves and comfortable riding position, it certainly has a beach cruiser’s DNA. It does this even on a very traditional design. This isn’t an electric bike you’d be embarrassed to ride, and we love the matte black color scheme, too.
