6 Electric Bikes with Banana Seats (Long Seats)

When the infamous Huffy Dragster began production in the 1960s, it revolutionized the entire bicycle market by featuring elongated seats, otherwise known as banana seats. This perfectly expressed the laid-back attitude of the 1960s American dream.

Now, fast forwarding to the present, there are many brands of e-bikes donning this care-free, 1960s-style banana seat which can be purchased easily both online and in-store.

So if you’re in the market for an e-bike with an elongated banana-style seat, then look no further, as in this article we’ve compiled a list of the ones you cannot miss.

1. Bezior XF001 ($1500)

Those purchasing an electric bike from Bezior will definitely not be disappointed. Bezior is a brand renowned for designing and creating electric bikes that are stylish, dependable, and affordable.

When it comes to finding a reliable high-performance electric bike that features a banana seat as standard then look no further than the Benzior XF001.

This impressive bike comes with:

• Motor power of 1000w
• Factory speed of 15.5mph(25km/h),
• Maximum speed of 28mph(45km/h).
• Lightweight aluminum alloy frame weighing in at only 30 kg in total.

It also comes with 3 driving modes to suit your individual needs:

• Pedal
• Pedal-assist
• Pure electric

Moreover, it has a 48V 12.5Ah battery with a charging time of only 6-7 hours, meaning if you’re commuting to work, you have plenty of time to have it back to full charge before you need to head home.

The banana saddle allows for a larger seating area, which can distribute weight more evenly across the buttocks and thighs, reducing pressure points and discomfort.

Some reviewers have even raved about how they can easily and comfortably fit three people on the back.

Better yet, when aesthetics come into play you have an option of a brilliant retro theme with a green body and tan-colored saddle or a more sophisticated and modern black style, depending on which suits your personality the most.

Unfortunately one of the only downsides is the maximum climbing of 25°. In terms of mountain biking on steep terrain, this may not be the best choice for you and, therefore, it is best suited for city riding.

However, the elegant design, affordable price, and brilliant specifications make the Bezior XF001 one of the top choices when looking for a banana-seated electric bike, so it’s definitely worth checking it out for yourself.
