Sabre

The set up of the bicycle was super easy only needing to attach the pedals the handlebars and the front tire. It appears that Bolton bikes had gone through this vehicle prior to sending it out as every nut and bolt on that bike was torqued down to specs. I’ve been out on a couple of rides and I must say I was surprised by the weight of this vehicle! Nonetheless, it is very stable at speed. I typically am able to pedal this thing on pedal assist 3 to 26+ MPH (42KPH). The nobby tires make the only noise that I can detect from this vehicle and so can the people who are on the bike paths and roads that I am approaching. The step through is very convenient when I need to stop; don’t have to worry about the top tube! Also getting on and off is super easy. Where the kickstand is located, is a bit annoying as it is located in the traditional spot between the chain stays. When I need to back up this vehicle, the crank arms rotate backwards until the left crank arm hits the kickstand, and then I cannot back it up any further without lifting the entire bike, which at 75 pounds is a bit heavy. I rode 17 miles and I only used 66% of the battery while being mostly in pedal assist three and occasionally four and five. The outside air temperature was around 40° with wet roads. These two conditions conspired to reduce the distance I could travel.

Smooth riding bike. Well built with a good battery.

I had finally whittled down all the various e-bikes down to three one of which was Area13’s Sabre. It just so happens that Kyle held an auction back in February/March 2023 and I had the opportunity to get a Demo Sabre for a discounted price. I’m not a stranger to e-bikes as I already had converted a Trek 520 into an ebike. The reason I wanted the Sabre was that it 1. Was a Step thru making it easier for me to mount/dismount 2. It is a 1000W bafang bbshd motor 3. Fat tires and suspension fork for riding comfort My intentions are to ride this bike (after adding a LOT of bling items to it) from Missouri to the Oregon Coast along the TransAmerica Route I couldn’t be more pleased. It is an awesome bicycle. I could ride it all day which I do! I found a way to attach a 2nd battery to the rear rack and so IF I ride conservatively I can get 40 miles per battery which is MORE than enough; I’m planning to ride only 50 per day I renamed it from Sabre to Monarch and changed the Knobbies tires to smooth road tires It’s awesome and receive constant compliments If you want photos, contact me via the above email. Thanks for reading

ust ordered this great looking bike. I am starting with 5 stars because it sounded so good. Thanks Kyle for the step thru .... Of course I would also like the Blue one ,, wink wink wink !!!

Thanks Kyle for listening and building a Step thru bike with so many features. A 21AH battery and mid drive is icing on the cake. Can’t wait!

You have so many good looking ebikes I really can't decide witch one would be the best for me. But I'm sure I would love this one. My current ebike is a 1000w ecotric Seagull and it's been doing the job but is hard for my 67 year old 230# body to get my leg over, I think that this would be the ticket! Please put my name in the drawing for the blue one.

Ordered the Foxbat this morning for me. I added the adjustable stem and the upgraded battery to my order. Then the Sabre comes out this afternoon with those upgrades. Perfect for my wife. Plus she loves the red. Can’t wait till we get them so we can ride on the beach. Thanks Kyle, your timing is perfect!

I’m still waiting for my turn to preorder the new Blackbird, but this bike looks the the perfect choice for my wife. She fell in love with the blue one, would make a great winning gift for my retirement the first of sept. Thanks Kyle

I've been following your website for quite some time l am saving up to purchase one what I like about your E-bikes are the quality of parts and your bikes are built to last a long time great job
