E-Bike Overview
The Jetson Bolt’s simplicity is reflected in its design. A straightforward twist throttle directly regulates how much power the 250-watt motor produces, while an uncomplicated four-bar LED display shows how much battery life remains.
The compact aluminum frame has natural weather-resistant properties (unlike steel), while the handlebars fold down, making the e-bike easier to both store and transport.
Despite its smaller frame size, the Jetson Bolt is surprisingly strong. It has a maximum load capacity of 265 lbs, which is on par with some larger and more expensive e-bike models. It also comes with some great features, such as front and rear fenders for preventing tire spray-off, as well as a front LED headlight for visibility at night.
Reasons to Buy
With its lightweight frame, compact body, foldable handlebars, and built-in carrying handle, the Jetson Bolt is the perfect budget-friendly commuter. It weighs just 34 lbs, meaning it won’t be a hassle to tote it up stairs or on public transit.
Unlike a lot of other e-bike products, the Jetson Bolt arrives mostly assembled and takes just 10 minutes on average to set up. You won’t need an engineering degree to put it all together.
The Bolt also offers buyers additional peace of mind with a one-year limited warranty and 30-day return policy. At less than $400, it provides riders with a simple way to commute to work, school, or around the city — all without breaking the bank.
Things to Consider
With a 36V and 6.0Ah battery, the Jetson Bolt isn’t designed to be a long-distance e-bike. For those wanting a similar style e-bike that comes with a longer range, consider the slightly more beefed-up Bolt Pro for $599.99.
While the compact frame is convenient, it does have its drawbacks — especially for taller individuals. The frame, seat, and handlebars aren’t able to be adjusted, so consider a larger-framed e-bike if height may be an issue.
