The Price Point That Defines Real Value
There’s a reason the $1,500 range has become the battleground for modern ebikes. Spend less, and you’ll likely sacrifice performance or comfort. Spend more, and you’re paying for luxury touches that add little to your daily ride.
That’s why the Macfox X1S × Bs.Zay Edition stands out — it’s not just another electric bike in a crowded market. It’s a collaboration built around one idea: make a powerful, street-ready e-bike that still feels attainable.
This model proves that “best electric bike under $1,500” doesn’t mean compromise. It means smart design, solid engineering, and just enough style to make it personal.
When an Electric Bike Becomes an Identity
The X1S × Bs.Zay isn’t designed to sit in a garage. It’s built for movement — daily commutes, weekend city rides, and spontaneous hangouts that stretch past sunset.
This collaboration between Macfox and Bs.Zay fuses street culture with reliable performance. You get the same 500W motor (750W peak) and 48V 10.4Ah battery as the original X1S, giving you up to 56 miles of range, but wrapped in a sharper visual identity — minimal, bold, and unmistakably urban.
Where most electric bike companies chase either power or looks, this one hits both. The dual branding doesn’t just add color; it represents a lifestyle — for riders who care as much about how their bike feels as how it performs.
Power, Range, and Practical Cool
A lot of budget ebikes promise long range or fast speeds but rarely deliver both. The X1S × Bs.Zay edition nails the balance:
- Top Speed: 25 mph – legal in most U.S. states (Class 2 compliant).
- Range: 28–56 miles per charge – perfect for commutes and campus life.
- Motor: 500W brushless (750W peak) – instant torque without noise.
- Battery: 48V 10.4Ah – efficient, removable, and quick to charge.
- Tires: 20″ × 4.0″ fat tires – comfort and control on pavement or trail.
- Brakes: Mechanical disc – responsive, low maintenance.
It’s the sweet spot between raw fun and reliable function. You can take it to school, the skate park, or a night ride downtown — and it always looks the part.
Built by an Electric Bike Company That Gets It
What sets Macfox Electric Bike Company apart from other electric bike companies isn’t just performance; it’s design intent. Most brands build from the top down, scaling adult frames smaller and calling them “youth models.” Macfox does the opposite — they start from how young riders actually use e-bikes: short trips, fast stops, and heavy social use.
That’s why the X1S × Bs.Zay feels different. The 33-inch seat height and compact frame geometry give you control, while still looking proportional for riders 5’2” to 6’3”. The 65 lb weight means you can move it around easily, park it in an apartment hallway, or lift it into a car.
Every detail feels built for your lifestyle — not your parents’.
Why It Beats the Competition
Scroll through online listings, and you’ll see endless promises: “longest range,” “most powerful motor,” “best cheap e-bike.” But few of those models have real-world balance.
They might hit 28 mph but drain the battery in an hour, or use heavy frames that feel like a chore to pedal once power runs low.
The Macfox X1S × Bs.Zay avoids those pitfalls with measured performance. Its 500W motor delivers strong acceleration without overtaxing the battery, and the steel frame absorbs bumps without adding excess weight.
For under $1,500, it’s not just the specs that matter — it’s how consistently they deliver
More Than a Ride — It’s a Statement
When you show up on the Bs.Zay edition, people notice. The deep black and violet tones, minimalist logo work, and compact stance feel straight out of streetwear culture. It’s the kind of electric bike that fits your outfit, not the other way around.
And unlike many models at this price, it doesn’t scream “budget.” It feels deliberate — something you chose, not settled for.
The Smartest Buy Under $1,500
There are dozens of ebikes claiming to be “the best under $1,500.”
But few combine real engineering, brand identity, and rider comfort like the Macfox X1S × Bs.Zay. It’s affordable, fast, and designed to stand out for the right reasons.
If you’re searching for something that’s equal parts performance and personality, skip the generic listings and look at the one collab that actually delivers.
Because for this generation, the best electric bike isn’t just transportation — it’s self-expression on two wheels.
