Meet the Solar Sparrow: Euphree’s Lightest Commuter Ebike
Looking for a lightweight commuter ebike that’s simple to maintain but strong enough for city hills? The Solar Sparrow delivers. Designed for everyday riders who value comfort, safety, and ease, this step-through model is already winning praise from trusted reviewers.
Here’s what Electrified Latina, Ebike Escape, CitizenCycle, and Russ from Ebike Products had to say.
Lightweight and Nimble Handling
“It’s so lightweight, even in the box I was shocked.” – Electrified Latina
At just 54 lbs (without the battery), the Solar Sparrow is one of the lightest full-size commuter ebikes you’ll find. Its 26×2.4” Kenda tires keep it stable yet quick, perfect for weaving through city streets.
“It feels super nimble. Just a really easy bike to ride.” – CitizenCycle
Russ at Ebike Products noted how easily he could carry it up stairs—something not possible with many heavier ebikes.
Simplicity That Works
“You don’t have to shift anything. Just use the assist and go.” – Russ
A single-speed Gates carbon belt drive means no chain, no grease, and no derailleur adjustments. The simple display lets riders:
- Switch between Class 1, 2, or 3 modes
- Choose torque or cadence pedal assist
- Adjust throttle sensitivity while riding
“Perfect for newer riders. You don’t have to think about anything.” – CitizenCycle
Comfort You Can Feel
“This is NOT some pogo-stick seatpost. Euphree includes the good stuff.” – Electrified Latina
Unlike many light ebikes, comfort isn’t compromised. The Solar Sparrow includes a 30 mm integrated monoshock plus an SR Suntour NCX suspension seatpost—a premium upgrade most brands charge extra for.
“Usually I’m bouncing all over during reviews. Not this time.” – Russ
The result: a smooth ride over potholes, brick paths, and uneven pavement.
Smooth, Predictable Power
“It had no trouble climbing hills. Throttle-only, no pedaling.” – CitizenCycle
A 500W Bafang rear hub motor paired with a 20A controller delivers quiet, controlled acceleration up to 28 mph. Reviewers agreed it feels strong yet steady, great for both new and experienced riders.
“The motor is smooth, quiet, and powerful enough for any city ride.” – Russ
Sized for Real Riders
CitizenCycle’s wife (5’4”) found the bike easy to ride, and at 6’0”, he rode comfortably too. With a fit range of 4’11” to 5’10”, the Solar Sparrow is ideal for smaller and mid-size riders—though taller cyclists can adjust the seatpost for comfort.
Certified Safety and Smart Details
The Solar Sparrow is SGS certified to meet UL 2271 and UL 2849 standards, covering battery safety and electrical integrity. Reviewers also highlighted thoughtful touches:
- Top-load battery removes easily without wheel removal
- Clean internal wiring and tidy welds
- Adjustable handlebar stem for custom fit
- Rear MIK rack ready for click-on bags and baskets
- Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors

Backed by a USA-Based Team
