Spark Cycleworks Bandit Review - $3k Electric Moped
The Bandit is a true electric moped, fully street legal in all 50 states, complete with VIN and origin documents for easy registration and insurance. Tastefully designed and assembled by a small and passionate team in Connecticut, covered by a standard one-year comprehensive warranty. Custom-designed hub motor peaks at 2,400 watts with an impressive 95 newton-meters of torque, paired with one of the largest batteries I've ever tested with a capacity of almost 1,200 watt-hours. Dual battery and even dual motor upgrade options, huge 60-tooth chainring allows pedaling speeds up to 45mph. Fully accessorized with steel fenders as well as motorcycle-grade lights, mirrors, a horn and turn signals. Extra-long banana seat is comfortable and has space for carrying some cargo or a friend using the passenger foot pegs. BMX-style handlebars for comfortable upright seating position even for large and tall riders. The rear lights and turn signals are dim and hard to see in bright daylight, steel fenders are resilient but too small to provide full coverage, the Bandit is a first-generation product from a relatively new company which may feel risky compared to more established products.
