The Yamee XL Plus ebike blends style, power, and functionality seamlessly. We recently added two of these bikes to our family fleet, and here’s why they’re a fantastic fit for both urban commuting and outdoor exploration.
First Impressions: Style and Setup
- Vibrant Design: We got the Amber Orange for my daughter (who’s heading to college) and Phantom Blue for my son. Both colors look amazing and instantly grab attention.
- Easy Setup: The bike arrives mostly assembled – just pull it out of the box, unfold it, and you’re ready to ride.
- Minimal Assembly: Unlike other ebikes that need extensive assembly (sometimes taking over an hour), the Yamee XL Plus makes setup quick and worry-free.
Performance and Ride Quality
- Powerful Motor: With a 750W motor (1500W peak), the XL Plus reaches speeds up to 28 mph, handling city streets and open roads with ease.
- Smooth and Intuitive Shifting: The 8-speed Shimano gears adjust seamlessly, making it easy to handle different terrains and inclines.
- Comfortable, Reliable Ride: The 20” x 4” urban fat tires and front air suspension provide a cushioned, stable ride that feels great on any surface.
Lightweight and Foldable
- Compact Folding Design: At just over 75 pounds, this bike is lighter than many other ebikes, making it easy to load into a car or store in small spaces.
- Perfect for Tight Spaces: My daughter can easily store hers in her dorm room, and my son can load his into our compact SUV without any hassle.
Battery Life and Range
- Long-Lasting Power: Equipped with a 48V, 15Ah battery, the XL Plus offers a range of 60-80 miles, depending on usage and terrain.
- Removable Battery: The battery is easy to remove and charge, which is especially convenient for indoor charging without needing to bring the whole bike.
Safety and Control
- Responsive Braking: Hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, which feels secure, especially on hills.
- Thumb Throttle: Allows for smooth acceleration, giving you a controlled boost without sudden jolts.
- Illuminated Display and Headlight: The bright LED headlight is ideal for low-light conditions, and the multi-function LCD display shows speed, battery life, and syncs with a companion app.
Comfort and Practicality
- Wide, Comfortable Seat: The seat is designed for comfort, making longer rides enjoyable.
- Fat Tires for Stability: The thick tires add stability and balance, which enhances the bike’s versatility across different surfaces.
- Space-Saving: The bike’s foldable design and lightweight frame make it easy to take on the go – ideal for both city life and outdoor trips.
Overall Value
At a current price of $849, the Yamee XL Plus offers unbeatable value. Here’s a quick breakdown of the highlights:
- Performance: 750W motor (1500W peak) for speeds up to 28 mph.
- Battery Life: 60-80 miles per charge with a removable 48V, 15Ah battery.
- Portability: Lightweight, foldable design – ideal for tight storage and travel.

If you’re looking for an ebike that’s as functional as it is fun, the Yamee XL Plus is a great pick for both outdoor adventures and compact storage. Highly recommended!

Hey there, I’m Ryan, the face behind Beyond The Tent.
With decades of camping experiences, my journey into the wilderness began on the rustic trails of a farm in southern Minnesota, where my childhood was filled with explorations and camping by a picturesque river.
My family’s adventures across the United States, from the majestic Colorado mountains to the serene national parks and the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area of Northern Minnesota have given me a broad perspective. With each journey, whether in state parks or private encampments, and through the homely comfort of our camping trailers, we’ve amassed a trove of stories, experiences, and invaluable camping wisdom.
