Price and specs last reviewed Jul 17, 2026
The SAMEBIKE SY26-II is an affordable 26-inch commuter e-bike with clean, understated styling: a 45 Nm rear-hub motor and front suspension handle daily city riding, while Shimano 7-speed gearing covers stop-and-go traffic and moderate grades. The battery is rated for a manufacturer-claimed 56 miles, closer to 36 miles in real-world mixed-assist riding, with a 330 lb payload capacity. As a Class 1 pedal-assist bike with no throttle, it is built for straightforward, budget-conscious commuting rather than off-road use. At $699, it is one of the most affordable step-over commuters in the catalog.
