Increasing numbers of inexpensive e-bikes are increasingly being seen on German roadways. There are some that are helpful and some that are not so excellent, just like in many other areas. The results of this test will reveal how the Bezior X500 Pro performs.
The X500 Pro quickly draws attention to these essential pieces of information. Although the power located in the back wheel is light on your legs, it is not totally legal in Germany, at least not on public highways. This holds true for the ebike’s top speed of 30 km/h as well. However, the Bezior can only support 25 km/h when it is delivered, which is at least a little faster than the German rules. However, 30 km/h can be selected using the program.
The Bezior also has mechanical disc brakes, a stand, illumination, a 10.4Ah battery, and a 7-speed Shimano circuit. This yields a battery capacity of 400Wh when converted to the 48 volt system. This is unquestionably a presentable value given the inexpensive cost.

Bezior X500 Pro: Design and Build Quality
Bezior choose the cheapest drawer when it comes to parts. However, not everything is negative. For instance, we appreciate the front light’s size and brightness. The rearlight is absent. Additionally, the bike computer is sizable, well-lit, and always easy to read. After being adjusted, the mechanical disc brakes have good grip, and we appreciate the saddle. Even though it is nicely padded, it does not appear as though it was taken off a pensioner’s bicycle. The handles have a little palm rest and are pleasant.
The Bezior X500 Pro is delivered by DPD in a typical bike box and is well-packaged. It takes little time to set up. All that has to be screwed on are the handlebars, front wheel, pedals, and front light. The enclosed tool is not always advised, though.
The X500 Pro actually provides a serviceable picture when screwed together. The frame is neatly crafted, and the sophisticated black exudes quality. A mobile phone holder, charger, and a partially accurate translation of the German instruction booklet are also provided.
Being about 1.80 m tall, I sit on the Bezior X500 Pro quite sportily. The e-bike is simple for me to ride. However, if you are 1.85 m or taller, I would not advise it. Surprisingly comfortable, the saddle. There is hardly much touch surface on the handles. Unfortunately, after two kilometers, they have lost their grasp on the handlebars and are already swiveling back and forth.
Marketed as an MTB, the X500 Pro. I in no way consider it to be such. I would rather classify it as an urban or city e-bike because of the athletic position and the narrow handlebars. Compared to off-road, the Bezior feels considerably better here.
The USB port on the handlebar is an attractive device. This will please anyone who uses their smartphone frequently for navigation and is continually irritated in the sun since the battery drains quickly. To open the rubber lip seal, however, you should give yourself some time. There will undoubtedly be some stumbling involved in this.
I appreciate the built-in horn, myself. It’s helpful, but given that it isn’t licensed, you probably shouldn’t use it to horn the police off the road. The front light, which is powered by the battery, is sufficiently bright. On the other hand, the back light is battery-operated. But in my situation, it wasn’t completely unharmed by the travel. It would also be ideal to have a battery-powered power source.
There is also a throttle grip added. However, Bezior might have spared itself that because of the missing function. Folding pedals are also included with the X500 Pro. Well-intentioned, but I’m not exactly sure what the point and goal are.
Bezior X500 Pro: Motor and Drive
Bezior states that its 48 volt motor will have a 500 watt output. But we presume that they are peak levels rather than a nominal production. However, the engine provides enough power to travel up to 25 kilometers per hour. You may access the settings menu by pressing plus and minus long enough. Owners can modify the posted speed limit under P08. With strong cycling, the Bezior X500 Pro can now easily reach 35 kilometers per hour. In Germany, this is not allowed.
As is customary for the Far East, the speed of the support is affected by the support levels rather than its power. Therefore, the third and greatest level is the only one where the 25 km/h final speed may be attained. The motor’s control feels fairly good in this location as well; the drive is just somewhat sluggish when restarting in high gears and at high speed. On the other hand, the display is simple to read and provides all crucial driving values. The use of the three buttons is intuitive.
However, upon closer examination and a lengthy test ride, the reasonably priced e-bike only holds up in part. The suspension fork’s good intentions are immediately apparent, but it is regrettably practically worthless. because the stanchions are actively used from the beginning. There is also a very loud, unpleasant bang with each rebound. That is unpleasant in urban living, especially on sloping terrain.
Another unfavorable point is that there is way too little room between the pedals and the floor. As a result, even when cornering moderately, the pedals scratch the straight ground. On uneven ground, it gets even worse. We had multiple instances where we bent our foot too far forward while driving at high speed, causing our toes to kiss the ground. Under no circumstances should this occur because there is a possibility of harm.
Here, the Bezior X500 Pro excels thanks to a fantastic function. because when braking, the brake levers cut off the support. Even a simple sign on the display makes this obvious. The rest of the braking system, though, can still use some work. There are mechanical disc brakes. However, it doesn’t perform any better than grandpa’s bizarre V-brakes on the old shopping cycle. With that, you can still stop.
For such a cheap bike, the gears perform as expected and consistently. Neither more nor less. The Shimano rear derailleur is from the absolute entry-level category and does not belong to any group. Exceptional performance is also not warranted in this situation.
Bezior X500 Pro: Battery and Range
Bezior includes a 10.4 Ah battery, illumination, stand, and mechanical disc brakes in addition to a 7-speed Shimano circuit. This yields a battery capacity of 400 Wh when converted to the 48 volt system. This is unquestionably a presentable value given the inexpensive cost.
The motor engages at level 1 in assistance mode and pushes up to 15 kilometers per hour if you are traveling on a straight level road above 7 kilometers per hour. The electronics are tightly controlled. For a rear engine, the engine starts and stops fairly swiftly. At levels 2 and 3, the motor only responds to the throttle ring on the right handlebar grip; there is no automated pedal assistance at these levels. You can do this effectively. The motor may be operated much more precisely without the automatic step help with a little practice.
Bezior X500 Pro: Conclusions
The Bezior X500 Pro had such potential. Because of its attractive dark design, it is pleasing at first glance. The information on the sheet reads clearly as well. As a result, the battery is large and the motor powerful. In addition to not having German road approval, it is ineligible for low speeds of less than 7 km/h. In this case, the engine is uncooperative and the gear ratio is excessively high. Additionally, the pedals are excessively low to the ground. With the Bezior X500 Pro, you may omit trail rides with confidence. The Bezior X500 Pro is still a viable option if you primarily drive straight lines, desire fast, motor-assisted peak speeds, and are on a tight price.
The Bezior X500 Pro is affordable, but it’s also affordable in some places. The brake levers feel spongy and the control panel with the light, horn, and assistance feels a little disjointed. The visually appealing bike, in my opinion, lacks a coherent overall design. If you can live with the shortcomings, you may purchase a stylish and maneuverable e-bike with a strong engine and a large amount of battery storage. The X500 Pro costs at 1027 euros. Alternatives in the affordable category include, for instance, the Eleglide F1 and the Nakxus foldable bike.
