    I’ve been riding one for about 1500 miles. And it’s great. If you go into the settings and tweak it, you can get up to 32 mph. Which is great in dealing with traffic. But your battery definitely drains at that speed. But with the stock settings I found you can get about 30-40 round trip on a charge and while keeping it at about 15 mph.

    I'm seriously thinking about picking this up. I just got a new job and the commute is short, but still a bit of a distance. Public transportation doesn't allow me to get there in time. So this will help me out

    Thank you for making this video. Do you feel like the center of gravity is where it needs to be and you feel safe? I’m on the fence about buying one, I love my super fast scooter but the center of gravity is what makes it feel a little unstable around 30 mph.

    I do suggest everyone to install puncture resistant tires and tubes. Definitely worth doing cause of flats. And you really gotta have basically a shop to remove to rear wheel.

      You just need a recessed 16 mm ratchet head and rachet as they are acorn bolts again cutting corners with no quick release rear tire​@@G59Anthony

    i put about 300 miles on it so far im 6,3 200 pounds ive gotten up to 31 on smooth road definitely had to pin the throttle but i can consistently get about 25-28 mph also there two different headlights modes one is pretty useless but the high beams are great for night not as bright as a car but perfect for regular lights as for durability ive crashed 3 times and the bike still works flawlessly

    I just got one on market place for $500 and 500km on odometer. Can you switch it from kmh to mph? How do you switch between modes? The 1-5 is only for the pedal assist? The guy I bought it from didn’t speak any English so I didn’t learn all the features. But this thing does rip

    I got a thousand miles on mine I ride it every day on the trails it's a good bike 1500 watt motor can't beat it the only thing is a rough riding bike the seat is not at all comfortable and I've had it less than a year and mine's already cracking but it's a great bike another thing is the brake pads are impossible to change it's easier just to buy a new calipers and put on it if you look at all the videos they don't show you how to change those and that is the reason cuz you can't

    Its a pretty crappy bike i wish i would of saved up for a faster one.. a motorcycle looking bike that looks quick but really isn't for the price. The suspension is a joke, the derailleur broke after a few months the back brakes never worked..i have also been through two back tires currently on my third..tells you something about the suspension, and im not even a heavy rider.. save your money and go for something more reliable

      @BuyersEdgeActual ide of liked it to do at least an actual 40/45 I use mine every day to and from work a 14 mile commute takes 45 to 50 min.. if you are going up hills, it drops down to less than half speed.. i gotta keep my throttle pinned 100% of the time in order to even make it there in a realistic time period. Throttle should have just had a cruise lock on it if i gotta keep it wrapped 100% wide open to do 20 /25 mph, 30s tops anr thats with a wind pushing you from behind down hill... 10 to 14 uphills, i just feel it's too slow and too heavy for the way it looks. It should have been faster with softer rear suspension front high and low beem front blinkers, better brakes and better derailleur, better tires and a higher speed...so yup basically a different better bike
