Macfox X7 review: A street-legal UL-listed e-bike that feels like an electric moped

I recently got a chance to test out the Macfox X7 electric bike, and after spending some time riding it around, one thing became immediately clear: while this model isn’t trying to be a traditional e-bike, it still sticks the landing with a legal and fun moped-like ride.

And that’s exactly why a lot of riders are going to love it even more.

As much as I love a good, old-fashioned, bicycle-feeling electric bicycle, we can’t ignore that it’s the more motorcycle-like models that are all the rage these days. Young riders are in search of the coolest-looking models, but that often means leaning towards companies that skirt the rules or cut corners on safety. So I was glad to see that Macfox is offering something that actually touches on those important points.

And yet it does it without sacrificing style points.
