The LCD display used in the Greenbike is monochrome and only covers the most essential aspects of the electric bike such as battery status, speed, date and time and the power mode the engine is working on. Some cheaper alternatives offer a colored and more detailed display.

With a retail price of $1,349, the Greenbike GB-FS5 isn't as cheap as some similar alternative electronic bikes currently on the market.
Con Tough to carry around due to high weight
The Greenbike GB-FS5 is quite heavy weighing in at 66 pounds (33 kilograms), mainly due to the larger non-lithium battery. Some similar bikes such as the X-Treme Trail Maker weigh 15 pounds (7 kgs) less.

Which can be a problem for people with reumatic complaints.

The delivery time is just a bit longer but it's worth the wait.
