Where they differ is tires size with the Cruiser equipped with 27.5″ x 3.0″ tires and the LX with hefty 26″ x 4.9″ tires. They also have integrated front and rear lights. Both have step-thru frames (only one frame size like the Rockstar), the same motor and battery, 7-speed grip shifters, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, aluminum construction, torque sensor, pedal assist and thumb throttles. The Cruiser and LX share many of the same features as each other. It weighs 65 lbs which isn’t bad for a dual suspension ebike. The downside of the Rockstar is that it’s only available in one frame size with a 30.9″ standover height and a seat height that can be adjusted from 31″ to 36.8″. It remains to be seen how well the bike will perform out in the wild but by specs alone it’s impressive. That price is very good for what you’re getting. I haven’t come across any other ebike with the same components for its $2499 price tag. The Rockstar with its dual suspension, including a front air fork (most bikes in the price range have spring forks), is designed for trail usage but the 27.5″ x 3.0″ Maxxis tires should perform well on pavement too for a more versatile bike. At 48 volts and 21 amp hours these bikes should have plenty of power and range for about anyone. In addition to 750 watt mid-drive motors, they also have pretty powerful batteries. All three feature mid-drive motors which usually place a bike well above the $2000 price point so it’s something to take notice of when a bike company offers so much for much less than the competition.
