What I said about the Bee Cool Adventurer

Buy the Bee Adventurer if you want a dual suspension fat tire e-bike with a throttle, a rear rack and a full set of safety lights for a lot less than most full-suspension bikes.

Buy the Bee Adventurer if you want a dual suspension fat tire e-bike with a throttle, a rear rack and a full set of safety lights for a lot less than most full-suspension bikes. I tested mine for several weeks on roads, paved trails and rough walking trails. It was one of the most comfortable rides I'd had at the time.

My video review, published 2021-10-11

• $1,099 as of Oct 22, 2026

Didn't

• The current model's specs differ from the one I tested

What I said about the Bee Cool Pathfinder

If you want a fat tire e-bike with a lot of power and a complete set of features for the money, the Bee Cool Pathfinder is a steal.

If you want a fat tire e-bike with a lot of power and a complete set of features for the money, the Bee Cool Pathfinder is a steal. It has a 750W rear hub motor, 4-inch tires, a twist throttle that works from a stop, turn signals, a horn, a color display, a rear rack and fenders. The brakes impressed me, and I rode over 40 miles without charging and still had plenty of battery left. The catch is weight. This is a heavy bike, so if you need to carry it up stairs or take it on public transit, look somewhere else.

My video review, published 2022-03-28

Liked

• 750W rear hub motor with real punch
• Twist throttle that works from a stop
• Turn signals with LEDs and a horn
• Color display with 5 power levels
• 4-inch tires with traction on and off road
• Brakes that stopped me hard from about 20 mph
• Front fork suspension
• Headlight, tail light, rear rack, fenders and metal pedals included
• Over 40 miles on one charge with plenty left

Didn't

• Very heavy; you'll need a heavy-duty car rack
• Not a bike to carry up stairs or onto a bus or train
• The "always be cool" message on startup is a little silly
• Sold out on Bee Cool's site as of Oct 22, 2026

Who should skip each one

• Bee Cool Adventurer: skip it if this is a dealbreaker: I bottomed out the front fork on rooty trails
• Bee Cool Pathfinder: skip it if this is a dealbreaker: Very heavy; you'll need a heavy-duty car rack
