Day6 Samson e-bike Review: Grandma’s speedy low rider e-bike Electrek.co

Day6 is a bike company on the path to electrify their bike lineup. Although the bike is made for accessibility, the detail that has gone into the geometry and design really shine through in a race-car feeling.

Day6 bikes are new to me and I believe new to a lot of the electric bike community as well. I think they have the potential to take the market by storm. This electric bike is very new and very good. Although it amounts to a conversion at the moment, it’s still worth a good look.

What if I told you that this total tractor seat comfort bike could hold over 400lbs, corner like a sports car, and allows more riders into electric cycling?

The Day6 totally does.

I want to focus on the ride aspect since it’s absolutely amazing. After that, we’ll talk about some of the livability issues I’ve had, and then the bright future for the bike.
