The 2019 X1 Explorer Electric Bike is the most advanced personal EV in America, giving you unrivaled flexibility and variety of use. This is a new age in last-mile, commuting, and day-to-day transport solutions for one person.
Built by hand using the highest quality materials, the Explorer is in a class by itself. Every component was manufactured to perform for years and years, without fear of fatigue, rust, or decay. You can feel the quality and the strength in its anatomy just by touching it and sitting on it. We also offer an optional 2 year warranty; no other eBike company has that much confidence in their products. We stand behind you, and have the U.S. support systems to back you at any time.
Explorer has the latest and most advanced technology built-in as standard equipment, including GPS tracking. Top of the range models last up to 37 miles of range on a single charge, and with its super-fast folding function you have endless storage options, including airplanes, boats and RV’s.
Charge for only 4 hours and your X1 Explorer can take you to-and-from work or school, the gym, the store, in fact anywhere you would go in a car. Simply click the remote keyfob to start the ‘engine’ and you are ready to ride!
X1 Explorer is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for a car, or to act as a companion in your existing vehicle. With Explorer there could be no more congestion, no more parking fees, no car payments, no insurance, and no gas. You can take it on the bus, train, or in your car to complete a longer journey, and to get around when visiting new towns and cities from your plane, boat, or RV.
You can use it for fun too, and with an array of accessories to personalize your Explorer you don’t sacrifice your creature comforts. Drink holder, phone holder, bluetooth speaker, shelf rack and storage bags go a long way to making the Explorer convenient and practical for everyday use.
Packed with safety features and technology, your X1 Explorer is smooth and comfortable to ride because it has air-filled tires and triple full-body suspension. It has twin disc brakes (front and rear) for stopping agility, and you can alter the seat height or change the seat to something bigger or more comfortable for you. It has a bright LED light on the front and a responsive rear LED brake light for people to clearly see you stopping from behind.
On the handlebar there is a light-up multi display panel showing your speed, remaining battery, odometer and temperature. Never have range anxiety again! There is a loud horn mounted on the handlebar too.
The powerful motor is silent and efficient, taking you at 19 mph speed for distances up to 37 miles. The 2018 X1 Explorer has an all-new 350w motor, increasing torque for climbing hills, but still has the gentle progressive accelerator on the twist throttle handlebar for safety. Riders up to 265 lbs can ride!
Foot rests are positioned at the front so you can lean back and relax on your journey. They stay in a fixed position giving you maximum stability and control whilst driving and taking corners. X1 Explorer can travel on any surface except dry sand. We suggest you use the bike on smooth dry surfaces for optimal performance.
The Lithium Ion battery is a Panasonic cell, the same battery cells found in a Tesla. Extremely safe and powerful, your Explorer will run for at least 25,000 miles before you need a replacement battery (37,000 miles for the upgraded battery option). We have future-proofed the operating system, so when new battery technologies evolve, you can easily adopt them and switch-out in minutes.
Once you get to your destination, storage is easy by deploying the kickstand. You can store the bike in folded or unfolded positions. You can walk the bike like a stroller in the folded or unfolded positions.
Equipped with an immobilizing alarm, the X1 Explorer makes a loud noise if there was any attempt to steal it. Simply click the keyfob to arm/disarm. The motor/wheel locks in position if the alarm is activated so it cannot be wheeled away.

$995.00 – $1,495.00
Looks amazing, great paint and color, quality looks good so far. heavier than expected, but that is ok. Tires were flat upon arrival which made me nervous as well as the battery was dead, so dead that the bike couldn’t even turn on to show low battery. apparently all this is normal though, they said they like their customers to properly fill the tires themselves. slight squeaking noise coming from rear break, looks like its coming from the break pad, hopefully it will go away with riding: which i cant say much about at the moment since the tires are flat. as for the key fob user face, charging times, front/tail light, seat, general build quality, and looks, i give it a thumbs up so far. hopefully the lack of customer contact options is just because its a new-ish company
UPDATE: had the bike for a bit now and am in love with it and changing to 5 stars. The range is amazing, the farthest I’ve done is 16 miles and had juice left. I go about 26-7 kmph on average and 30-31 down hill. I wish the top speed was a little better and I wish it had more torque. Either way I love it for its range
These bikes are great but they need a better marketing team. When it comes to electric “last mile solutions”, I like the sit down versions better than the stand up versions. Maybe I just don’t like looking like an oversized kid on a Razor scooter. So when you look into these, URB-E basically owns the hipster category of the adult electric scooter. Google “last mile commuter” and they’re everywhere. On the other hand, you can’t even find the X1 Bike by typing in the actual name of the bike on Amazon. It’s a shame because these bikes are so much better. Lets compare.
URB-E just introduced their ‘Sport’ models which feature 8″ solid rubber tires, a front wheel motor, optional front pegs that move with the handlebars (which fold) and a top speed of 14 mph with a range of about 16 miles. Then they have their ‘Pro’ models which have 10″ pneumatic tires, a rear wheel motor, front pegs standard that still move with the handlebars, up to 18 mph and a range of up to 20 miles. As far as price, the X1 is priced the same as the Sport. But with the X1, you get 10″ air filled tires, FRONT and rear brakes, MORE SPEED, fenders to keep dirt, debris and water from splashing up on your bike or your dress clothes (since this is supposed to be a commuter), an odometer, speedometer, headlight, tail/brake light, up to 30 mile range, a horn, and key fob with alarm and remote start. Also, the pegs on the X1 are in the front and don’t move with the handlebars so your feet don’t affect your steering/balance. Check reviews on the URB-E and you’ll see that the front wheel motor makes the ride choppy and the feet forward position is more comfortable than the pegs in the rear but having your feet affect the steering is for ‘experienced riders’ or in another term ‘uncomfortable’. Other than the folding handlebars on the URB-E, the X1 is the clear winner here, I don’t even think that’s close.
But, just for fun, let’s compare the Pro (formerly the Black Label). Now you’re paying almost twice as much as the X1 to get the same 10″ air filled tires as the X1, almost the same speed, and the rear wheel motor. But the pegs still move with the steering column, you still have no fenders, only 1 brake, no speedometer, no odometer, a very vague charge indicator, no headlamp, no tail lamp, no brake light, and no keyless remote start. So basically, URB-E agrees that the features that you get standard on the X1 are the best available so they offer them on their premium (and priced that way) URB-E Pro (like rear wheel drive, faster motor, and air filled tires). But even paying twice as much, you still don’t get all of them (fenders, remote, speedo, headlamp, tail lamp, brake light).
The X1 folds up quicker than the URB-E (it’s 1 step, pull the trigger upward) vs the up-down seat motion of the URB-E. The URB-E does lock closed and have a handle though which is nice if you’re actually going to carry a 35lb scooter instead of roll it.
Both scooters have a 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects but X1 offers an extended warranty for an additional cost so you can have that peace of mind if you feel the need. One of URB-E’s selling points is that they are made in the US and ‘will last’. Really the URB-E is assembled in the US. You think all those electric parts are made here, especially the motor? Look at their ‘American Made’ page, it’s just the metal. The X1 is built tough and with an optional 2 year warranty they show that they stand behind their product. The X1’s replacement parts are less expensive too. Need to replace your battery in a few years? The X1 will run you $199-$250 while the URB-E will set you back another $399!
URB-E says that you can remove their battery to charge their devices but why would you want to use up the juice in your battery? Wouldn’t you rather be able to get home? Despite all of this, URB-E is still going to sell much more than the X1 simply because nobody has heard of the X1 and if you have, there’s not as much info out there about it. X1 doesn’t seem to push their product as hard, even if you search for information, which is sad because it’s really a great product. You’ll probably be happy with an URB-E, you just won’t know what you’re missing in an X1.
Awesome electric bike , the best one i’ve had so far!
Would buy again!
love it
I love the X1 bike hands down. It is the most unique design on the market and just feels like it is made very well as compared to other brands. The performance is absolutely top notch. It’s quick, quiet and long lasting. The headlight is immensely bright which is super safe for night time riding and I also love the brake light feature as well. The display is perfectly placed in the center of the console which makes it easy to read, I only wish the display was in the American standard (mph for the speedometer & Fahrenheit for the temps) but that’s no biggie as we probably bought an early model. The handle bars feel great in your hands like a motor cycle almost and with the key feature, you feel like you have a true vehicle in your possession!
The unit is compact and easily fits in a truck of a car. I have been using the X1 bike for myself (when my son let’s me near it) to make local errands which is much easier than starting up the car most the time. My son adores the bike and takes it everywhere around town. I highly recommend this X1 bike for anyone as it is a 1 size fits all. Great for kids or adults, for long distance or just simply having fun. It is extremely comfortable and so easy to ride, I am very happy with my purchase.
Convenient and fast, this thing really does do all the mileage it says it does.In a word – Wow! These bikes are the coolest. Everyone always wants to ask about it. Such a little conversation starter. I bought mine a few months ago and want one for everyone. The battery lasts forever and they are super mobile. Very cool. Everyone who jumps on it wants one for themselves.
The X1 Explorer is a lifestyle tool enabling me to get from place-to-place without using a car. I get wherever I am going fast and I don’t trash the environment. Well done X1.
Having the X1 Explorer is great for my social life! Riding it is so much fun and it gets me out of the house. Everyone is so fascinated that they easily start up a conversation and I have already earned three $50 referral fees. My favorite thing about the bike is that it is eco-friendly. To go 37,000 miles without having to worry about putting in gas or polluting the environment made the Explorer a win-win for me. Whenever my car needs servicing, instead of sitting in the waiting room, I just grab the X1 out of the trunk and go for a ride, or head home. Its so convenient and I am finding that I prefer it to driving my car on most days. The quality is superior to anything I’ve seen and the price is exceptional, I would’ve paid much more for a comparable bike! Thanks X1 for this innovative form of personal transport. I’ll keep sending referrals your way 🙂
Very pleased w/ my X1 Explorer … looking forward to your development of a travel case to hold the folded bike w/ handle bars off, otherwise complete … as I’m 80 yrs old, had to re-acquire balance skills, otherwise it’s perfect for my needs … everything true that your website says. Good work!
My explorer just arrived after waiting for a long time. The import tariffs affected my delivery quite badly. I was nervous because I had never dealt with them before but they were always attentive and assuring and the long delay was clearly explained. I just got the bike this week and I ordered it in July.
The scooter looks awesome and after riding it today it’s definitely worth the wait. I didn’t expect it to feel so fast when riding it or to last this long. I’m bee y impressed. I also own an urb-e and the explorer kicks its ass. Mine is black and I opted for the upgraded battery. It’s well worth the $100. Bluetooth speaker is loud and clear and I love that I can change the seat. Now all I want is a bag to store it’s in.
Ordered my scooter from the showroom display they had on offer, arrived on Friday and it was in good shape.
I have ridden the scooter all weekend and everywhere I go there are people swarming me!!!!!
Whilst the attention is cool I think the scooter itself is cooler.
The design is beautiful, it folds very easily, it is fast, smooth, and I love the safety lighting. My favorite part is the push-button start, though.
I own an Urb-E Pro GT and this X1 is supposed to be better, faster, longer range, better safety etc. and here is my opinion:
a) It is marginally faster, and the accelerator is slower (less torque) which my wife liked since it was less scary
b) I rode for 32 miles and then I wanted to charge it, there was a little life left, but not much
c) The suspension is both firm and soft, the ride quality is more comfortable than Urb-E by 1000%, and the adjustable seat made it easy for my wife and I to transition
d) The alarm and VIN system combo made me feel safe that nobody could really steal my scooter and get away with it
e) I did not experience range anxiety since the display meter told me exactly how much juice I had left
f) Needless to say I am going to buy one for my wife and sell my Urb-E (sorry guys, it was great while it lasted)
I highly recommend the X1 for many reasons. Well done.
Saturday, February 16th, 2019, I finally received my new ride, a 2018 X1 Explorer Bike, after patiently waiting for it for 6 months of me ordering it on Thursday, August 16th, 2018. It folds, it’s electric, it goes 23 mph, & has a 37 mile range. And the big part of this, I paid for this with my own money, so I’m proud that this goal has been achieved, & one last thing, it’s fast, rides great, & overall a great gift to myself. Shout out to X1 Bike for having a great product for people like me who don’t have a vehicle to drive, & mostly use bikes as their source of transportation & for the founder, John Simcox who personally hand delivering it to me at my home on Saturday. I recommend this to anyone that heavily relies on bike as their source of transportation. Believe me when I say this, It’s a great bike. ❤😀
I just received my X1-Explorer in teal color. For someone who is technically challenged, it sure was easy to take it out of the well packaged box, put the seat on and charge it. And, as soon as it was charged, I took it for a ride….at work . It blew everyone’s mind away because it was quiet, rode very smoothly, and easy to control. The bike is well built, and definitely great to look at. Also, I want to give special thanks to John , who was very patient in answering my questions. He sure made the purchase process very easy. Now, I will be looking forward to a padded carrying case, so I can take X1-Explorer everywhere. And if a the company ever makes a purple color (not lavender, but purple) Explorer , I will buy it again!!
