In Other News: 

The campaign end is in just 2 days. (Sunday May 24th 11:59PM PST)

 

We're pushing hard to hit the $10M stretch goal before then. It'd be huge if you can help share the campaign!

 

The support team is getting barraged with last minute questions. Support is out for the weekend so please refer to some common questions below. 

 

Q: I need to change my order...

A: Please email support at hello@flx.bike

Q: What color are the touring package components for the sterling bike?

A: All black for every bike.

Q: Where is my bike?

A: In production - they will ship according to the shipping estimates on the campaign when you placed your order. We still have a ways to go before then but it will be well worth the wait!

Q: Can you ship my bike early/before everyone else?

A: Bikes are shipped in chronological order. That means the earlier you placed your order, the earlier you will get it. We are unable to move your spot in the production or shipping queue. Rest assured the team is putting in everything they've got to ensure each bike is built to our strict standards and delivered to you as soon as possible.

Q: Can I change my order to ____?

A: We will do our best to acommodate, please direct any order specific request to hello@flx.bike

Q: Can you do custom work on my bike?

A: Sorry we can't acommodate that - our hands are full producing thousands of bike to standards we have laid out to ensure the efficient delivery of every bike. 

Q: Can I have a belt drive on the base model?

A: There are 2 configurations offered - standard (Chain drive, C Brakes) and PRO (Belt Drive, Hydraulic Disc Brakes). Please order the configuration that suits you best. The frames are different for standard and PRO - so you will be unable to change the Base model to belt drive as it does not have a split seat stay to install a belt. 

Q: Can you post a picture of the Matte Black/Blue/Touring Package/_______?

A: There's nothing I love more than sharing progress pictures with you! If we had the photos, you bet they would be published as soon as possible. The bikes are currently in production as they progress further, we'll be sharing more photos of these things. Thanks for your patience. 

 

Hope these help.

Have a great weekend. 

 

We Love You

Rob, Pete and Team FLX

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We've got answers.

What's the best commuter ebike?

For daily commuting, the Babymaker II Pro is our most popular pick. It weighs just 35 lbs — light enough to carry up stairs or onto transit — and its Gates Carbon Belt Drive means virtually zero maintenance. A single charge gets you 20–70+ miles depending on assist level.

If you want cargo capacity and a more upright position, the Moonrider is a great alternative with dual racks and a Bafang mid-drive motor that handles hills with ease.

What's the best lightweight ebike?

The Babymaker II is our lightest model at just 33 lbs — significantly lighter than most ebikes on the market. Its minimalist frame and compact battery keep the weight down without sacrificing range or performance. Perfect if you need to carry it up stairs or store it under a desk.

Do I need a license to ride a Superhuman ebike?

In most US states, no license, registration, or insurance is required to ride an ebike — as long as it meets federal ebike classification standards. Most Superhuman models meet these requirements. Rules vary by state and municipality, so we recommend checking your local laws, especially for Class 3 bikes on trails or shared paths.

What's a fat tire ebike?

Fat tire ebikes feature oversized tires — typically 4 inches wide or more. Those wide tires give you more traction on loose surfaces like sand, gravel, and snow, better shock absorption, and increased stability at low speeds or in technical terrain. Great for riders who want to go off the beaten path or ride year-round regardless of conditions.

If you're looking for the best fat tire electric bike for all-terrain riding, the Superhuman Bikes Bomber is our top pick. The Bomber is a 750W scrambler-style fat tire ebike built to go anywhere — sand, trails, dirt roads, or city streets. It runs on a 48V 17Ah battery with 40+ miles of range, 20-inch fat tires for maximum grip, hydraulic brakes, dual suspension, a comfortable bench seat, and optional foot pegs for a moto-inspired feel. Available in multiple colors and two configurations, it's one of the most capable and versatile fat tire ebikes on the market.

What's the best ebike for beginners?

We recommend the Moonrider or the Photon for riders new to ebikes.

The Moonrider has a step-through frame (easy to mount and dismount), an intuitive mid-drive motor, and comes with front and rear racks so you can start using it for real errands right away. Its Shimano 10-speed lets you gradually learn how to blend pedal assist with gear selection.

The Photon is a great option if you want something lighter with a throttle option, so you can start by letting the bike do the work and increase your own pedaling input as you get comfortable. It ships 95% pre-assembled — front wheel, pedals, and handlebars and you're ready to ride. (And they glow in the dark!)

How long does shipping take?

All in-stock Superhuman bikes ship within 3–7 business days of order confirmation. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order leaves our warehouse. For the most current availability on specific models, check the product page or contact our support team.

What's the longest range ebike in your lineup?

The Weapon leads the lineup with 70+ miles of range on its 840Wh battery — the highest-capacity battery we offer. The F5 Trail also carries an 840Wh battery and delivers 50+ miles per charge under typical conditions.

Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and how much you pedal vs. rely on the motor. Using lower assist levels and pedaling more actively will always extend your range.
