The Pulse 6 S Go is not your typical city e-bike. With fat tires, a comfortable step-through frame, and a few design quirks, this electric cruiser stands out on the road. After spending some time testing it, I’ve gathered my thoughts on the build quality, ride feel, and overall value.

If you’re considering this e-bike, here’s everything you need to know.

Unboxing and First Impressions

Putting the Pulse 6 S Go together is straightforward, but one thing stood out right away — the battery mount. While it holds in place, it has a little wiggle that you normally wouldn’t see on higher-end frames. It’s not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning.

One of the first features that catches your attention is the headlight. With a simple button press, it lights up with what I can only describe as a Batman-style beam. It looks fantastic at night and really adds to the bike’s urban cruiser vibe.

Design and Cockpit

The step-through frame makes hopping on and off the bike easy, and the included pedals feel more premium than expected. The Pulse 6 S Go even has mounting points for passenger foot pegs, which means you can take a second rider along.

The handlebars are wide, giving you a relaxed riding position. However, in sharp turns they swing further than most bikes, which makes handling in tight spaces feel a little heavy. It’s not unsafe, but it does remind me of the ride feel on the Pulse C1.

Motor and Ride Feel

This is a single-speed e-bike, but the gearing is well-suited for city commuting. What really impressed me was the torque sensor. The responsiveness is instant — the moment you start pedaling, power kicks in smoothly. Many e-bikes struggle with lag or jerky assistance, but Pulse nailed the tuning here, especially at low speeds.

At higher speeds, pedaling becomes heavier. Instead of feeling like a limitation, this actually gives the Pulse 6 S Go a more stable and planted character. The display even includes a cadence readout, though you’ll have to multiply the number by ten to get your actual RPM. A small quirk, but an odd design choice.

Comfort and Handling

The comfort factor is strong on this bike. The saddle is well-padded, the fenders provide good coverage, and the inverted front fork is an unusual but effective setup. Paired with the fat tires, small bumps disappear under the wheels, and the fork absorbs bigger hits surprisingly well.

Pulse claims up to 100 km of range. While that’s optimistic, with conservative pedal assist you can get close, making it practical for daily commutes and weekend rides.

Brakes and Safety

The braking system looks like a Zoom clone. It’s not high-end, but it gets the job done for city riding. Braking performance is predictable and safe, just not particularly premium. For casual riders, this is more than adequate.

Final Thoughts

The Pulse 6 S Go is not trying to compete with ultra-light, high-speed machines. Instead, it delivers comfort, practicality, and a little personality. It can carry a passenger, haul some gear, and still look stylish thanks to that standout headlight.

There are areas that could use refinement, like the battery mount and brake setup, but overall, the Pulse 6 S Go offers a fun and approachable option for city riders who value ease of use and comfort.
