How does it compare?
For anyone browsing mid-tier electric commuter bikes under $2,000, the Oasis lines up against strong contenders like the Aventon Pace 500.3, Ride1UP 700 Series, RadCity 5 Plus, and Velotric Discover 1. While each e-bike has its charm, differences in motor behavior, range, and accessories make this comparison worthwhile for savvy buyers.
Range
Oasis stretches its legs with a real-world range of 45–65 miles (72–104 km), thanks to its 720Wh battery. Pace 500.3 and Ride1UP 700 offer slightly less at around 50 miles (80 km), while RadCity 5 Plus manages a similar 45–50-mile (72–80 km) range. The Velotric Discover 1 trails slightly at 40–55 miles (64–88 km).
Acceleration and Top Speed
Oasis delivers up to 25 mph (40 km/h) with pedal assist, lining up with Pace 500.3 and 700 Series, both Class 3 e-bikes. The RadCity 5 is capped at 20 mph (32 km/h), while Discover 1 sits at 24 mph (39 km/h) max. Torque delivery on the Oasis is smoother, courtesy of its torque sensor.
Motor and Power
Oasis is driven by a 500W rear hub motor (750W peak), on par with Ride1UP and Pace 500.3. RadCity 5 Plus boasts a 750W motor, but feels more sluggish under load. The Velotric runs a 500W unit without torque sensing, which puts it at a slight disadvantage on hilly terrain.
Charging Time
Oasis charges up in 4–6 hours, which matches Ride1UP and Pace 500.3. RadCity and Velotric have similar charge cycles, although battery size varies. None offer fast-charging as standard.
Price
Oasis retails at $1,799 (£1,410 / €1,655). Pace 500.3 runs about $1,895, Ride1UP 700 $1,695, RadCity 5 $1,999, and Velotric Discover 1 hovers around $1,499. The Oasis sits squarely in the sweet spot, offering more included accessories at a better balance of price-to-performance.
