I bought mine in March. I have the version 1. The motor on mine is direct and completely silent. Not much torque but a little more speed. 42mph. I have 3400 miles on mine. Best bike by far.
@@MrCentralDriver The one I got was for 1400.00 it has one of the very first ones they put out. It had problems, but I never leave a bike the way I got it. I put a NB 3k motor and a better controller on it. It is the wife's bike she is 5'6'' and it fits her pretty well, the only thing she wants me to change is the handlebars so that they can be pulled back more and she can sit more upright. If you want a motorcycle-looking bike and you don't want to build your own, this is the bike for you.
Thanks to MrCentralDriver for sharing the detailed and pertinent video. Hello everyone, this is our BIGNIU official. If you are interested in our BGX and want to know more, please feel free to interact with us~ Happy riding!🥰🥰
I just got mine, same color. I'm a heavier man weighing around 330lbs and it still hauls me at 36 mph! Definitely worth the price 👌. I'm about to attach mob led strip to the frame to add a little more flare at night. 🌃
By the way, I took it out for a test ride and this bike is a beast! I'm glad to have bought it and I know that I will have many happy days cruising around town. It's too bad that I waited until now when winter is starting.
Been waiting on this review been shopping for the right ebike for last like 3 months im torn between the revv1 and the motor goat but this bike looks amazing
@@MrCentralDriverI respectfully disagree. I myself am leaning towards the Anioki AQ177 Pro Max dual motor with the 52v 60ah battery for 1699.00. I like the looks of the one you're reviewing better though.
Iv had the bike ver1 (no motor noise) since May I ordered on a fri had the bike the next fri thanks to Oldman e-bikes I got this for $1500. I have 800 plus trouble free miles I get 75 miles range at 17-18 miles an hour in mode 1(mostly throttle) (bike came set with 3 modes) iv tested this 5 times. I ride this bike on the bike path so I'm not out for speed this is a $2000 bike all day I love it. fits in nicely alongside my Harly
Just so everyone knows the odometer only records throttle miles. If you're not on the throttle and you're moving it won't register those "ghost miles". So you're range will vary if you coast more and that's true with any ebike
Thanks for the video had my bignui a couple of weeks now couldn’t figure out how to engage the the throttle after being stopped for a few seconds thanks you
If you get a motor that’s geared more towards higher speed and run a hell of a lot of amps through the controller then yes it’s possible on 48v. Nowhere near as efficient on the battery as if it was 60v though. I’ve had a 48v build going 45mph by using a peak 100 amp discharge battery and a 70 amp controller.
Still the best e-bike for the price! The speed, the battery and looks fantastic! I've got both versions, 1st Gen is silent and amazing, top speed about 43 2nd Gen is definitely more torque and about 41 tops out! Love these bikes! U won't find a better e-bike for the price, and still much better than most really expensive ebikes! I did put a 3 inch stem extender on both of mine, that really helps if ur taller, feels like a legit chopper! Awesome review dude! U would love the 1st Gen even more, it doesn't have the speedometer issues either
Not sure if it's more considered an ebike or moped. okay, but that would be another one of these choppers for me to make it a DIY rebuild on (keep the frame, remove nearly all parts, most importantly have the motor or controllers replaced and some accessoires). Not certain if this vehice is road legal here or if it comes with a COC to have it registered. Looks great tho.
Hi, great video. Are you in the Central Valley? Lots of good riding there for sure. Can you tell me if that lettering on the battery is removable. I don't mind the bull graphics on the controller cover but the company name graphics on the "tank" have to go. Just my opinion. Great review though. You put it through a good workout.
looks clean and would be fun for the beach but they could* have added a brace in the center frame that sits just above the chain to mount a 2nd battery or the original battery to keep the center of gravity lower. I think your rough ride and some of the sliding is a combo of the fork angle and probably super stiff rear shocks and the weight not necessarily the tires.
You always have the most thorough reviews on TH-cam!! Can you please tell me the seat height from top to ground? I'm a short king and cant find the info on their website
was in the same boat as you, pulled the plug on this one. some motorcycle side racks to add ports to secure whatever one wishes. I am building a dual battery setup (both 48v and 31.5ah and 38ah).
Everything looks great but the brake light looks pink when not pressing the brakes. Looks bright when you use the brakes though. No issues to work tho. Everybody was loving it. Even got a co worker to ride it
The v2 sucks I just lost my v1 thing was the best bike I had they need to go back to v1 motor and shocks I miss it so much I rode that bike everyday now I have nothing but great review on bike knew you would like it
Nice job buddy. And I forgot to tell you the front forks also has rebound adjustment on the bottom of the right fork. And it matches your car perfectly lol. And yes that display they are fixing the issues with speed display going to 0. I'm glad you got one and maybe keep it and upgrade it like I'm doing with a 60v62.5ah and 5k motor with a 100a controller. I fig you would like it that's why I pushed to help get you one to review.
I just got mine yesterday and will finish the assembly tomorrow, just a few minor details. I do have a question, since it came with no instructions, what is the ( what looks like a T handle with a threaded piece on the bottom), what is it used for? I'm baffled, I can't figure out where it goes. I would appreciate some direction on this part. Thanks
hard to stand by happyrun tbh. They have a cool new g100 pro bike thats worth checking out, However they don't work with me anymore because i made an honest review on the g100. If that doesn't tell you something then... lol. but either way have fun with the bike. the g100 is dope just some flaws
🐍 I have the same display & fried my weakazz controller on my Fabulous ebike. That controller sounds like what I need. What's the brand/part number of that 40A controller❓️
I have the bike and totally agree with hving to hit the break for the throttle to activate..a lil annoying..and to hv higher handlebars wld be great..im kinda use to the motor by now..but yeah alot of fun riding the bike..
I'm really digging your vids man. Thinking I'm going to get the Ariel Kepler as a low-key but fast commuter ebike here in FL. It'll be a 23-mile commute one way. Is that a good bet, or do you recommend something better?
Hello mr. Central driver I have the V1 of this bike and it’s quiet and powerful. What are your thoughts on boosting up this bike to make it go faster like a sleeper bike?
Do you think swapping these tires on the BGX with the Shinko ones you have on your Super 73 would work? Are there any other tires you recommend for this bike?
@@MrCentralDriver if it’s a 52v battery then yes, 48v only charges up to 54.6v though. If this bike had a 52v battery it would probably reach low 40s MPH instead of 38.
@MrCentralDriver idk to tell you the truth I'm just adding my 1% lol it will be good if the controller can handle 52v battery just need to know those blue caps inside the controller to see what voltage it is if its 63v then I think it should work 🤔 because 52v full is at 58v
Caution tho , I’ve had mine since may 2024 and I haven’t been able to ride it in almost 4 months because it has no throttle . Keeps flashing an 08 code, even with new motor from factory and new throttle cable and still nothing . I will update this comment if they actually resolve the issue on my bike . As of now I think it’s been a big waste of money / a good looking Chinese bike that won’t last long
@@oldmanebikes8392 yes it’s a lot easier with no gears because there’s no damn derailer to deal with. Sometimes people can’t get the derailer back to normal after they change a flat. Yes it’s a lot easier.
Just because it can go 35 mph. Doesn't mean you have to do that... Same with electric unicycles. Those fuckers can go 55 mph. Doesn't mean you should or are allowed to do it!!! Everything about this bike is not legal E-bike....
@@MrCentralDriver Yeah I just got done watching the video 38. My Fluid Vista Scooter marks 37 but I can get it up to 35 or 37 depending on the terrain or wind
I bought mine in March. I have the version 1. The motor on mine is direct and completely silent. Not much torque but a little more speed. 42mph. I have 3400 miles on mine. Best bike by far.

Thank You So Much! This Was A Very Informative Video And Learned Some Things! 🔥🔥
YOur welcome
I'm so excited to get mine!
I don't know why but I've liked this one ever since the first time I saw it
I know why. It's because it's frickin' awesome!
Just so everyone knows the odometer only records throttle miles. If you're not on the throttle and you're moving it won't register those "ghost miles". So you're range will vary if you coast more and that's true with any ebike
Great job doing these reviews. Also Been hoping to see a great review on this bike as been interested in it.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
I wish you had a v1 to review you would love it way more
Thanks for the video had my bignui a couple of weeks now couldn’t figure out how to engage the the throttle after being stopped for a few seconds thanks you
Pedals or brakes work to make it move
That is really impressive performance for 48v...as fast as some 60v ebikes

Good looking bike
speed sensor brother, its like that new sht companies are putting on. The faster you pedal the faster it goes
This is impressive for the specs
I usually don't mind motor noise, but that thing was HOOOOOOWLING 😂😂😂
Haha yeah. Metal gears instead of nylon. Stronger but louder.
wow that does look like a fun cruiser.

i think it would be dope if they or a company sold enclosures to house extra batteries and controllers for people to easily upgrade.
@@Timbodacious I have a center bag on mine that I run a 20 amp battery for long trips.
It looks like the frame would allow a 56 tooth front sprocket and you could install an 11 tooth rear

me and tailhappytv going to the top ;) appreciate it buddy
It’s 28 inchs
@@runawayelectric what he said ^
I was pretty set on Revv1 but now I'm considering this
1 thing revv1 has over this is the upgrade path is much easier with the $100 enclosure cage.
was in the same boat as you, pulled the plug on this one. some motorcycle side racks to add ports to secure whatever one wishes. I am building a dual battery setup (both 48v and 31.5ah and 38ah).
Have you taking the bike to work at night and if so how was the bike going work and back from work...?
Everything looks great but the brake light looks pink when not pressing the brakes. Looks bright when you use the brakes though. No issues to work tho. Everybody was loving it. Even got a co worker to ride it
@@MrCentralDriver Thank you for the reply and the thee info.. good to know about break light...
Does this thing want license in las vegas
Wish they sold these in the UK.
I’ve never seen that my speedometer go to zero when riding 😂
Can you adjust the seat height on these??
how much would it cost it to be shipped in greece(Europe)? Thank you, it looks like it came straight from my dreams!

Hello mr. Central driver I have the V1 of this bike and it’s quiet and powerful. What are your thoughts on boosting up this bike to make it go faster like a sleeper bike?
Perfect platform
Sounds like the revv1 with how it screams at the top end.
Those strong metal gears ⚙️
I just got mine and it only has 3 levels of pedal assist. Is there a ways to unlock 4 and 5?
Yeah, it’s in the advance setting. You can do 0 to 3 or 0 to 5 or 0 to 9
Do you think swapping these tires on the BGX with the Shinko ones you have on your Super 73 would work? Are there any other tires you recommend for this bike?
Good question. Might need to go wider
Peak power is actually 2184w. 54.6x40 is what you’d get on a full charge
most people would also argue you can multiple the max voltage of 58.8v x 40 which is 2352w. that you get at 100% battery
@@MrCentralDriver if it’s a 52v battery then yes, 48v only charges up to 54.6v though. If this bike had a 52v battery it would probably reach low 40s MPH instead of 38.
Also depends on the controller and battery bms..
@ the bottleneck in this case is definitely the controller.
Can the battery be mounted lower with very little customization?
There are no bolt holes for the battery mount other than its factory location so you would need to do some fabrication if you wanted to move it
Ever take it off any sweet jumps?
Just the curb
Take out the 48v and add a 52v battery it will hit 40mph
does the controller do variable voltages?
@MrCentralDriver idk to tell you the truth I'm just adding my 1% lol it will be good if the controller can handle 52v battery just need to know those blue caps inside the controller to see what voltage it is if its 63v then I think it should work 🤔 because 52v full is at 58v
