Macfox X1 Chopper Style E-Bike
A classic style and a comfy cruise. The Macfox X-1 E-bike is a throwback to the golden years of chopper bikes.

Macfox has perfected the delicate art of simplicity with this new bike. It took only one rip around the parking lot, and I was sold. This bike is the perfect blend of small, light, and fast.
The X1 has a very classic look. It has an uncanny resemblance to the legendary bike Steve McQueen jumps over the fence in the movie “The Great Escape”. (Google It)

Hello Richard-
So I am looking into purchasing 2 of these e bikes. I am wondering, can you tell me how this bike held up over the year you have owned it?
Have you had any issues with it?
hope to here a reply?
Nate,
I will let Rich chime in here. But I see him riding the bike around town often, even with his girl as a passenger! For the price the Macfox bikes are hard to beat.

This bike is great.
I took the battery out for the winter and left it outside under a tarp.
It’s been ripping around town effortlessly since the snow melted and I put the battery back in.
I love this bike for it’s small stature and lightweight design.
It easily holds two people and puts around with ease.
It doesn’t like going up big hills, but it’s great for a flat little town like Jackson Hole.
I describe it as the BMX of E-bikes.
Very classy design and you can’t really beat the price.
hi Rich! I think the type of motorcycle you’re trying to compare this stylish e-bike to is a Scrambler, not a chopper. Choppers are really low with long forks in the front at an exagerrated angle, often paired with ape-hanger handle bars. Think “Easy Rider” here.
The motorcycle that Steve McQueen rode and made that awesome jump in The Great Escape as most definitely a scrambler, as it was a Triumph.
Otherwise, great article, thanks for the info! I suspect that this new wave of Chinese e-bikes are going to start coming out in larger and larger quantities and we’re going to see the pricing continue to drop until they start to settle down around the $500 range. Which is Awesome!
John,
We are totally seeing the price drop on the electric bicycles as of late. When we go back to edit past reviews, bikes seem to be dropping in price by about $400 per year. Excited to see how affordable e-bikes become to the consumer. I think were in the era of flat screen tv’s at the moment.
