Do you think we should have a cruiser fat tire bike that looks like this?
YES. This Chopper is bad ass.
Absolutely! That thing looks sweet! Kinda reminds me of a cafe racer style motorcycle.
Looks very nice
Please, make one similar to it Kyle! Bolton's attention to detail and passion for electric bikes would make a cruiser style bike like that a 10/10 in my book!
HOW MUCH? Before I order one?
I currently own this e-bike and would like a trusted company to carry this bike along with upgrades and or accessories. I am very impressed with this bike as a commute bike. I am positive you will receive very favorable reviews from all owners. This bike is also easy to upgrade with additional motors along with additional batteries for distance. Please carry this bike along with upgrades.
How much does this thing weight?
Yes, I’d like to see you carry this style. I agree, it needs a suspension fork and fenders to complete the look w more functionality.
You should carry this style, looks very sharp.
The himiway cruiser has fenders and a suspension fork
I TOTALLY AGREE with Bob! Front suspension & Fenders would ENHANCE the Nostalgic Motorbike style the bike.
The battery size is also small , it definitely needs an upgrade along with front shocks and fenders !!
I see one on Ebay with front suspension, fenders, side mirrors, pannier, racks, the whole 9 yards. I grabbed mine early... www.ebay.com/itm/CHEETAH-RETRO-CAFE-RACER-EBIKE-750W-750-WATTS-HD-48V17-5AH-BATTERY-26x4-TIRES/333816708016?hash=item4db906bbb0:g:zEMAAOSwsgtfzfCN
Yes I myself like the look, it looks like a motorcycle and I've rode motorcycles all my life. But like you said in your video it would nice with a suspension Fork up front.
I have always really loved the look of this bike.
One of the better looking, motorcycle looking cruiser. You're right a suspension fork would be nice.
should adsolutely carry it. Perfect for boomers like me.
Yes ! 3 inch tire with spring front
@@jerrymcandrews2097 I have plus tyres on my ebike...3''x 27.5....love em!! A little more steerable but the advantages of fat tyre !!
Love the cruiser style. Would need to do something about the battery, to make it replaceable. How about a suspension seat post and a rear rack with seat and grip matching color bags?
Love the look of that bike! For just cruising around on paved streets that would be awesome!
Love it! Kind of Townie like, which I like very much. At 57 years old I ride for smiles, not miles. My days of doing century rides are past. But a cool Ebike for commuting tot he gym or store or here at work would be nice. I'm in!
Mike McMahan I have a Townie and I’m looking to purchase this bike as well. The Cheetah certainly doesn’t look like most of the other e-bikes out there.
ABSOLUTELY! This will put you in an entirely new market that caters to the older generation (50 and up). I'm 61 and I love the look. I would buy one for myself and one for my wife and we would tour in style!!!
I have that exact one coming this week. Also ordered rack, fenders and light cover. So YES get this one and do some upgrades!
What does the basic bike cost?
@@bebob9202 $2600
Yes! You should definitely have a fat tire cruiser bike like this! I would love to see something very similar with some front suspension, 1000w motor, and 54v battery.
Just ordered mine, and I can't wait. So glad you decided to carry it, and adding the extras!
Where did you order it from
@@derrickkmartin4037 at Bolton Bikes.
Bro the wife an I are considering ebikes and just because I have watched your vids if and when we do purchase bolton will be our first choice!!!
Very informative, very non biased, you earned a subscriber.
definitely offer a cruiser. however, I would prefer a fork with shock absorbers.
bingo the no sale point well taken.
More weight w/ suspension.
Yes this is a awesome bike just the way I like it.
And yes put a suspension vork in it and an extra battery pack under the tank for the long cruises at the beach or city and just enjoy the ride😉👍👍👍
I've had one of these for a year and love it. At 53, it got me back into biking. It's funny, I have a lot of respect for you and your channel and was planning on contacting your company to see if you would recommend any upgrades for power? Or anything else?
I like it, I think it fits well with your “Fat Tire” arsenal.
Might be just the thing to get my wife to share in my enthusiasm.
Can’t wait for my Blackbird-November shipment.
I LOVE this bike. I purchased mine in 2019, which is the 2018 model and put 900 mile on it in the 1st year.Mine has fenders and bought a rack in case i need it. Was thinking of doing some bike touring with some Ortlieb Panniers.This one here being shown is the 2020 model that just came out a month or 2 ago.YOU WILL be getting ALOT of questions about the bike when taking it out : ). I like to drop the seat as low as it goes if i plan on using mainly throttle to give it that feel and look of a motorbike and raise it if i'm going on a long distance ride so i can peddle more to save battery life. I also have handle bars more at an angle lets say 2 o'clock to give it that that look and feel as well, this one being shown is at 3 o'clock..Yes it could use a front suspension but i think they did without to save weight or to give you a spot to mount a water bottle and FYI this is a big boy, its bout the length of a real motorbike so take that in account. I would make sure to protect it i got an Abus U-lock for the frame and a folding lock to put around my rear tire and a bike alarm : ) . I have yet to see an E-bike as cool as this one frame wise. I love the vintage look and i"m only 40.
I got mine two years ago and the first thing I did was saw off the seat post receptacle on the frame to lower the seat as low as it could go. I think it was around two inches that I cut off. Then I put some 16-inch apehangers on it. I had to splice and solder some extension wire to the throttle so it would reach the plug. I then put some white walls on it and I built a cool vintage-looking sidecar for my oldest dog. My two other dogs run alongside us. I see those ultra high-priced e-bikes that are going for the vintage look and it's nice to know that even though my bike looks way cooler, it was way cheaper. I bought it directly from the factory in china for $875.
I've always thought about doing that seat post thing like you did. Taking off 2 inches. Also thought about the side car thing when I first got my bike so I can bring a dog with me but I wouldn't know how to make one.
@@wikedt111able If you do lower the seat, make a little 3/4" slice that runs down from where you made the cut so the quick release for the seat post will still function. I wish I would have made a video of the sidecar build. There have been quite a few people who wanted to build one after seeing it. It wasn't overly difficult but it would have been easy to explain if I would have filmed the different processes. Before I started it I couldn't find any videos for a sidecar build that looked anything close to what I wanted mine to look like. Mostly, people have just made a basic platform with sides. They just look like a rolling box. Mine looks more like a vintage rocket with fins at the rear. I have been toying with the idea of painting a sharks mouth on the front like the old Flying Tiger fighter planes.
@@seanmcaleavy2369 How much was it to have it shipped? Do you have a link to where you bought it?
This is my favorite style. It has my vote.
Man, you have every other style of e bike, go for it, i wish i would have found out about Bolton bikes Bedford I ordered a bike, i will definitely try to save up if I can and order from Bolton bikes
Absolutely gorgeous ! Clean looks, no cable mess. Would absolutely buy, but I stick to my old Bobber bike for mow Good review, bro
I love that bike! You should consider making this style of bike one of yours. I currently ride the Foxbat but would love to have a Cheetah!!!
Thank you for sharing! Keep us posted !
Frank
Yes!! I’m a fan of the aesthetic, and as others have tequested, a front suspension fork & fenders would be nice. I’d also prefer a step-thru, as with the RadRunner.
Just a note: The 2020 models can increase the PAS to 1-9 for more torque control. Just hold the "set" button to get into the general settings and you can change the levels. The light icon is for the tail light if you decide to get the upgrade.
This is one of coolest cruiser ebikes out there. Add that your own review indicated quality all around which makes it a no brainer. You should definitely carry this bike.
This is cool! I like the way it hides the battery and the comfortable riding position. I also like the big highlight. Cool bike. Vote to include into your stock pile.
Do it! I think it's a 👍great looking bike and it would be a good seller. Couple mods I would add...I don't like buttons that "dont do anything". I would wire a tail light to the controller and turns on with that button. Also, If I was selling this bike, I would offer it with a front suspension fork as an upgrade.
That's actually what it's for. The tail light is an upgrade.
Yes! Love the look of this bike. More my speed.
I really like the look of this unit. The cruiser style is what got me into ebikes with a RAD Rover. The more I see of your bikes makes me think I should become an ebike collector.
It looks pretty cool, with nice features. Definitely consider carrying these!
I would definitely like to have one.
That is a great looking bike! Your laugh while riding it kind of says it all.
I miss my H h and at 74 yrs this would get me smiling n styling in the wind!
Yes would definitely like you to stock bikes like this, I've been looking for an e bike and something that looks fantastic but can deliver right across the board! I'm a 300 lb guy so I don't want to part with money until I've found a bike that doesn't flake on the hills or parts failing, I enjoy your videos and like what your about and what your doing in general for the bike community, please keep up the good work and know its appreciated!!
Yes, would be a great addition to the Bolton line. Would like to see a rear cargo rack possibly with panniers as well
Bring it on, wins on looks alone. Well made, well equipped. Price right? Great cruising scoot
Yes. This is what I'm looking for. I need an urban utility that can sometimes go the distance. Might be absolutely perfect - wanna try it first, though - that stark upright position looks a little . . . weird. Like other commentators, my first choice would be a Bolton brand name on such an eBike.
Yes I feel you should absolutely add it to your collection of e bikes that you offer. I’m a big fan of fat tire bikes and presently shopping around trying to decide the best bike to purchase. And I appreciate your honesty and explanation about the bike also your experience thank you.
Yes, you should definitely carry this bike. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Harley-Davidson has prototype for Electric Bicycles - they need to look at this design for inspiration
check out Red City Chopper made by Redline i just purchased one pretty rare bike but it's as close to a Harley as you will get . Love my bike it's pretty cool
Harley have made their ebike and this bike looks much better.
Yes, I think you should sell this model. Interested in shipping time and price. Thanks.
Yes, you should offer such a bike. I have a friend (70 yr old) that sold his original eBike because it was too uncomfortable for his 6’3” and 230:lbs size. He had a heck of a time finding bike that fit his comfort zone. Thanks for your review.
Yes I like the bike very much. I had already ran across this bike in my searches. Love the styling and upright seated position. Would like to see other styles similar to this. A suspension seat and fenders would be a hit. Thanks for the review.
Exactly what we like, being senior citizens (boomers ), not into riding my wrists.
Nice looking Cruiser Bike I think you should carry them there was no mention of the cost?
Thank you for all your effort and hard work
I’m so pleased I found this channel. The information is fantastic. Please review more cruisers. I am on the hunt for my first ebike and need something that keeps me upright, and allows me to put no pressure on my elbows. Please check out the Magnum’s. I’d really appreciate your perspective.
It would be great with some of your possible upgrades.
I'm ready to place my order when you have them available
Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work 👍
I definitely like the styling of the Cheetah. I would also like to see a Bolton version with a front fork shock. Thank you for all the info you provide.
Yes, Yes this great and You should sell them!
Reminds me of Steve McQueen in Great Escape.
Needs front forks that are sprong.
Needs side car😜
Yeah there is McQueen Cheetah and another Cheetah with front suspension being sold on Ebay.
I own the Cheetah Fat Tire bike., I’ve had mine for just about a year I did add a suspension seat post to it which helped with the ride, I frequently ride it on the beach I live off of Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach. The only problem I had with it was an error code for a hall senser And it turned out just one of the connections was not plugged in all the way. I have to say it’s been a lot of fun and I’m very pleased with it.
never had that issue with mine.
Yes you should add this to your stable, love the looks of this bike.
I am very interested in the fat tire cruiser style ebike. I’d also be interested in what you could come up with in this class. Thank you Kyle!
Thanks for watching Frank!
@@Area13ebikes gear box belt drive with sus forks and dual batt with leather saddles on the back....yea that would do it.
Good style, find a nice rear rack for it.
I like the look of this bike as long as it offers the power and range you indicate it has. I basically ride for exercise and it's nice to know there is power for the hills when you need it.
I love this bike for all the right reasons! I hope that you get it!
Now I like that💗
30 miles on a battery.
4 miles with light on....😂
I'm almost 300 lbs and I've ridden it 16.5 miles throttle only at night with the high beam on and had over half a battery left. Hope this helps.
@kim james Really? 😂
I sell them for a living.
It was a joke......
@kim james 70% on avg.
🤘🙏😊
@@northeastslingshot1664 Why so many ( ...... ) after your comments? Multiple dot dot dots are just wrong. Not a joke, period.
I like the Harley-Davidson Look. Thanks for reviewing it.
Yes!!! Get one!!! I own one!!! Revi Cheetah. Besides no one on youtube have information on the bike... Your my only hope.
Yes, this bike is sick! I wish the fuel tank was like a trunk, so you could hide your wallet, etc in there.
Maybe some cool leather bags in the rear.
@@richmccay-read6389 they have those available
You know, you can use regular motorcycle bags also! I bought some bags from Amazon...really nice. Also you can make your own(military shops etc...) Did this for my e-bike, looks fantastic.
That's great foresight would be great with glove box
It would be a bit of a pain to get to since you need allen keys to open it
Aye that intro bro. That’s what I call a content creator
Absolutely, there's always a market for cruisers and that's one handsome bike for sure 👍
Yes. Please offer this bike. Best style I've seen so far.
Yes, for sure you should carry a bike like this! I have never commented on a channel, but this bike is very nice!
That is one of the coolest ebikes I've seen yet!
This bike is super cool! You should carry one like this. I do note the lack of a suspension fork in the front but it is SO cool looking I'm considering buying one in spite of that feature not being present!
I do like the style of it. I had a moped at 16 in the mid 80's it does remind me a little of it. Add front shocks, a rear rack that you can place a second battery on with a tail light!
Absolutely. For an older gentleman such as myself who has been a life long motorcyclist for over 45 years, this would be a perfect addition to my garage of E-Bikes. Go ahead. I think you can sell a container of these.
I have a Cheetah and it's absolutely marvelous. I'm 72 years old and handicapped. I take my Springer spaniels out to the fields and run them. They love it and I do too. FYI front suspension would be the best option. Ride safe, pdl
Yes!!! Love it. Call yours the Fat Bastard XL. Suspension fork and your battery. I'll buy one.
Yessss!!! I've wanted the bike you're testing out but the price is out of range for me. Thanks!!
To extend the battery, you could also get a cargo rack over the front tire and hang a pair of batteries from it, wiring them back to the on-board battery.
Love It ❤️ suspension upgrade could be a good addition. U should have this bike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well presented video
Love it! Wish I saw this before getting my Rover!
Hi. I own this bike. 2 Years now. Luv it.
Yes, I love vintage looking ebikes with serious performance. I own one. Also own a cool fat ebike. So, bring it on Kyle.
Great tool I will get one for sure. Thank You
I have had a Cheetah for over two years and it is my daily transportation. I modified it a bit by cutting the seat tube down as low as I could and still have the clamp work (about two inches}. I put on a rear rack so I could attach my saddlebags. And I put 13" ape hanger handlebars on it along with whitewall tires. Every two or three months I re-upholster the "gas tank" with one of my no longer wearable psychedelic shirts. I have also made a really cool vintage looking sidecar for it that my oldest dog sits in while the other two dogs trot along next to us. All in all, it's an eyecatcher and I receive between ten to thirty compliments on it each and every day. These bikes go for around $2,500 in Southern California but I got mine direct from the factory in China for $875. I live on an island 26 miles off the coast of California that is mostly steep hills and this bike has held up surprisingly well.
Looks very cool. And seems to have the power. I would stock it.
Yes, u definitely should carry it. Be a great addition to the range & selection of bikes u sell
I think it is a cool style, bit would prefer to see more trail friendly bikes, wether full or partial suspension. Love the videos! Thank you!
Kyle, Yes - This would be an awesome addition to your Bolton Ebike inventory - Please advise when these would be available as I want one now
Hello, I actually have this bike It is set up a bit differently, Shimano Altus shifter and it's black and white with brown handles and seat. I'm from Europe and we have no dealer ( one actually, in Spain who does not respond and seems to be dead ) in the entire EU who has this bike. I actually had to buy It straight from the factory as a sample, which was no problem, since their customer support and sales lady is a treat to deal with. So polite, dependable and capable.
I really recommend swapping the rigid front fork so you can enjoy this bike even on bumpy cross-country roads. I actually have two setups one for the city with road tires, a bit narrower front wheel and my custom springer fork. And another, which I'm personally really proud of, for mountains and bumpy roads - I really love the look of the offset double crown fork on this bike and I had a real hard time of finding a suitable fork like this for fat 26 tires. I ended up with used downhill fork with air pistons, I swapped those pistons for the default rigid ones (wasn't as easy as I made it sound) and it worked a charm. The good idea is to line plastic battery covers with some insulating tape, it tends to make unpleasant noises on rougher terrain otherwise.
I bought one a more than a month ago and I love it. It's an excellent ride. It's all up and down where I am and the power doesn't fail me. Also the style beats other ebiks by a mile. You'll probably get lots of comments and questions when you go out. People really like the retro-styling just as I did. I want to say DON'T carry so it stays rare,. However, you really should carry this ebike for its quality and looks.
Absolutely, would love to see bolton carrying that bike, or one very similar. I personally find that style cruiser very desirable. Have actually considered purchasing a cheeta.
That's a really cool bike. I like you to put that on your line up. Make the price great and everyone should ride one
Yes Kyle, you should carry this in your line up. I'd LOVE to see it with a Buffang 5 speed belt drive, then you could use it for off road. Also... the need for speed and range!!!!
I’ve owned this ebike since March 2021.
It is great fun to ride. The retro motorcycle look has gotten me much attention from strangers. After three years of Spring to Fall Minnesota use, the life of the higher powered battery has dropped in its longevity. Using throttle only, my mileage range is around 20 miles per charge, where it started out near 30 in 2021.
Assembly of the bike out of the box
was not too bad. Had to completely deflate the back drive tire and buy a special needle nose vice grip tool to painstakingly put the rear fender on. That was much needed since wet dirt will spray on back your shirt. Wish there was suspension shocks on the front wheel. Seat and fat tire is ok but not the smoothest ride. One reason I wanted this design of bike was the wide handle bars which help ease up the tingling in my fingers for longer half hour rides. But beware your turning radius is compromised because of that. The thumb bell sounds like an old ice cream truck. That’s fine for politely warning people on nature trails because the bike can look intimidating to them.
The saddle bags are nice for grocery shopping but are a slight pain putting on and off if you don’t want them all the time. I like keeping the bike looking good so I use disposable hands wipes. No water hose where the drive chain or motor could rust. That means time consuming meticulous care, so ya gotta love this machine like a relic sports car.
I take the battery out and store it room temperature for winter months.
Oh, I’ve had revamp it a little. A local bike shop adjusted the back brakes because they were only partially engaging ( maybe 40% ) of the disc.
The factory set screw stripped on the throttle switch so I drilled a slightly bigger hole to implement a bigger holding screw. That’s worked pretty well now for two years.
Hopes this helps to give you a more real idea what it’s like to have this bike.
It’s been great fun and I still love it but if I were to buy again, I would get a similar designed bike that looks as good but definitely has a front wheel suspension shock absorber.
I think you should include the bike, in your inventory.
Saw one similar but was like $3500 to $4500, I can get a used motorcycle at this price.
Have had several motorcycles over the years, but retired now.
I do like the old bike / motorcycle cruiser style.
The things I would recommend:
1) fenders front and back that have reflective Pin Striping
2) tail light, integrated like motorcycles (left, right, brake 3-5 flashes)
3) beefed up railing on the rear to accommodate old style saddledbags, color to match the tank.
The railing could be used for, I could build and secure a cargo box for that grocery store run.
4) Most importantly an electronic air horn to be heard, not that standard (stupid) "ding".
At the minimum a wiring harness for accessories.
Yep I do, I haven't been on a Bolton but they look like they are a solid Ebike. I currently ride a Super73 and love it. I live in the city so a cruiser is my thing.
You know they say that "Cheetah's never prosper", but I like it. I really like fat tire bikes and I like ebikes that look like vintage motorcycles, however, I'm not a big fan of hub drives, though I bought two hub drive wheels when I first started my ebike build, after reading review after review about the pros and cons of hub drive versus mid drive motors, I decided that hub drive motors, just had too many cons for my taste. It probably doesn't matter unless you're climbing some pretty vertical bike trails, but I want the power to do that, should I ever want to. But I digress, I really like this style of ebike as long as the fat tires aren't slick, I like aggressive tread on my bike tires.
Loved where the battery is stored which makes the "looks" of the bike very clean. Unfortunately that is also a concern if the battery needs replacing as the battery form factor is custom made for this bike.
FTH Power and Hi-C Battery rebuilds ebike batteries
Any E-bike with the looks of the retro bike is a must carry, even temporarily. You have to see if the market will bear it, but I think there are people out there that would truly enjoy it.
Kyle; I enjoy all your videos. My wife and I are retired and just got an RV. We are interested in getting E-Bikes so to make is easier to get around and have a little fun. That said, I am definitely interested in a fat tire cruiser E-Bike.
You should definitely carry this bike. You should also have an option for road specific fat tires for better roll. Also, I want that headlamp on my RadRover!
