The Raven pairs a 72 V system, a 5,000 W peak motor, and a claimed 210 N·m with 20-inch fat tires at 142 lb. That is a specialty machine. It also claims UL 2271 on its batteries but no UL 2849 for the bike, unlike the Freedom and Cruiser.

The Cruiser is the WIRED to pick when mounting access matters, because it is the line's step-through frame with full suspension and dual batteries. The 115 lb weight still applies. Its peak output appears as both 3,000 W and 3,200 W, so confirm that figure.

The Freedom is worth considering because it carries both UL 2849 for the bike and UL 2271 for its batteries, a pairing the Raven does not claim. That certification is the real case for it. At 115 lb with a 3,200 W peak motor, it is a specialty machine.
