Well good news. They have confirmed their motor power. They have data sheets and videos. What you need to know is, for regulation reasons They are limited to 750/500w in all modes except level 7 offroad mode. In that mode you have full power of 1000/750w to your motors.
The good: build Quality on mine is great, solid frame, handsome bike, great torque for hills and gets up to speed pretty fast. The bad: I cant get over 32mph on mine. Customer service literally sucks. Shipping took way longer than they said it would, they damaged my shipping label which caused shipping to take even longer, and as stated in the video the motors are not what was advertised on their website. Plus it does not go the advertised 38 to 42 mph. I think a lawsuit may happen for false advertisement if they dont provide actual proof of the motors. In conclusion, i do think its a good bike, especially because i bought it for 2 grand, but im torn because I hate suporting companies that lie to make a dollar. Just my 2 cents, take it for what it is.
I don't know why some people are still waiting on their bikes. But for me, I got my bike only a week after their projected delivery date. Which is pretty good, considering it was an indiegogo campaign, and the bikes weren't even in production when I bought it. As far as the top speed, I have gotten up to 38, but I don't know how 42 is even possible. And yeah, I am waiting to see what they do about the motor discrepancy.
I was just about to order one then I watched this video until they confirm their motors are what they say they are. I’m good but it’s my favorite looking bike moped style

I built an ebike with a 30 amp battery in the back rack and it is very top heavy. If you lean it while stopped, it wants to fall and is hard to hold up.
I wanted to buy one so bad, but I just can't buy an E bike that won't take big hills with throttle alone. It needs to be able to take San Francisco Hills, that means flat ground is incredibly limited, everything is a hill almost, I just want a moped dial E bike that can take a hill fast, above 20 miles an hour at minimum, and I can put something on the back like groceries or whatever. I haven't been able to find anything that will do that. All of that. I want something I can use to go tool around in, pick up some groceries, do an errand, and take hills while doing all of it without peddling if I desire. I so badly want to figure out what I can get but I'm feeling defeated
@@SFARCO yeah I guess so, I just don't wanna deal with licensing and registration and all that. I've had gas powered scooters before, I've had a 250 cc scooter if you can believe that which was insane. I just was hoping I could find something e-bike style
@lifestyles2482 I'm sure there is, but it's probably expensive and you might have to register it if it's that powerful. Depends on your local laws obviously.
I was trying to take a camping trip to do the range test, but haven't been able to yet. So I think I will have to test it over multiple days. I will get the video out as soon as I can.
@@SFARCO do you happen to know if there is a power button or switch on the front battery like there is on the back one? The only button I see seems to be an indicator button...
I feel alot of the extra power is wasted, you'd have to put some power to one of the wheels just to overcome the added friction from the motor/gears, id rather have a standard front wheel and both battery's in parallel to extend the range, i mean when have you actually lost traction on the rear wheel
Where I go, and what I'm using this for, the dual motors definitely help. I go through the thick of it with my bikes. It's not that much extra weight for the power advantage. If I want extra range, all I have to do is turn off one motor and pedal a bit.
@@SFARCO Thats my point though, turning off one motor will ad alot more effort to overcome the motor/gears, I also do alot of offroading and ive never felt the need to power both wheels, and ive ridden in some muddy stuff
@wolfe1970 but it doesn't add much resistance because it's a hub motor not a direct drive motor. And not only do I use it for off-roading but I also use it in heavy snow. I will use it to pull my ice fishing gear. So not everyone's needs or requirements are the same.
There are ports directly on the batteries, both covered by a rubber cover. For the front battery, it's on the top where it is rounded. The rear has a smaller circular cover by the red on/off switch. It is on the underside if your battery is installed.
My bandit X trail pro it seems like the front motor sometimes stops working , I’d have to turn it off and back on but I get around 35 mph top speed I got was 43 down hill
@michalmisio64 You can charge the batteries while they are mounted to the bike, but you have to charge them individually unless you have two chargers. It does not actually charge through the frame.
@@SFARCO dooogggg! That worked, thanks! I thought I tried that, but I guess I didn't hold those buttons down long enough! I was trying everything. Thought my headlight was broken. Whew, thanks man
I don't know why you needed to contact them to order it. You just place your order through the website. The $2000 price was only an early bird special, it was going up at some point. But sucks you missed it, it was a great price.

She's great! I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Ordered mine on 10/22 and it’s one day away from delivery. Can’t wait!
Sweet! I'm sure you'll love it.

@@SFARCO awesome thanks for the update. Time to pull the trigger:) have you been able to get yours up to 38 miles an hour?
@riftraf No problem. I I've been able to get it up to 38. But only when both batteries are fully charged. I am a heavier Rider though.
Good review! Subscribed! Are wheel fenders made of metal or plastic? Are those Bafang motors?
Thanks! They are metal fenders. The motors are not bafang. I don't remember the manufacturer name off the top of my head. I'll try to find it.
@@SFARCO Thanks for replying! This channel deserves more subscriptions! Some other TH-camrs don't even bother replying to people.
Thanks, I appreciate you saying that. And thanks for the sub!
Is this cadence pedal sensor or torque pedal sensor?
It is cadence.

@@lifestyles2482This bike handles hills pretty well. But isn't going to be above 20mph for most hills.
@@SFARCO i'm in San Francisco. One of the most hilliest cities in America. This is my problem.
When is the range test coming? I’m very curious cause this would be the turning point if I end up purchasing this bike! 😊
I was trying to take a camping trip to do the range test, but haven't been able to yet. So I think I will have to test it over multiple days. I will get the video out as soon as I can.
Which one would you buy
Bandit x trail pro or
Rollroad Emma 3.0
While I have not tested the Emma, I really like my X-trail Pro. I like the dual motors, and the build quality is superb.
I will add, Bandit's customer service still needs improving.
I love mine!
I love mine too!
@@SFARCO

@@chadjazeera9960Not that I have seen.
@@SFARCO
Thank you!
@@chadjazeera9960 No problem.
not arguing but wouldn't it be AWD if it also had a mid motor ?
If it had a mid motor and a front motor, it would still be all-wheel drive, but if it only has a mid motor setup, then it only drives the rear wheel.
nice
So nice!
Rear brake failure and I have no answer from Bandit about the parts I need.
Sorry I missed your comment. Have you tried DMing Shuan or Hansel through FB?
This is only for single person or 2 person riding?
If you install some pegs, I think it would handle 2 people nicely.

what brand is that front basket ?
Here is a link for you:
amzn.to/3zzTlYk
where EXACTLY do you plug the battery charger into the bike? I see no charging hole anywhere, but I know it has to be somewhere.
There are ports directly on the batteries, both covered by a rubber cover. For the front battery, it's on the top where it is rounded. The rear has a smaller circular cover by the red on/off switch. It is on the underside if your battery is installed.
My bandit X trail pro it seems like the front motor sometimes stops working , I’d have to turn it off and back on but I get around 35 mph top speed I got was 43 down hill
That's odd. I would contact bandit about it. I've been seeing a lot of people saying they reach 42ish if going down hill. Lol.
How do I charge batteries in the frame or take out ?
@michalmisio64 You can charge the batteries while they are mounted to the bike, but you have to charge them individually unless you have two chargers. It does not actually charge through the frame.
@@SFARCO thanks
@@michalmisio64 No problem!
@@SFARCO i preordered my they say coming in mid August so I hope soon 😀
@@michalmisio64Nice! You're going to love it. It's a great bike!
How do you activate the high beam?? I'm stumped
After turning on the low beam, hold the + and menu buttons down at the same time.
@@SFARCO dooogggg! That worked, thanks! I thought I tried that, but I guess I didn't hold those buttons down long enough! I was trying everything. Thought my headlight was broken. Whew, thanks man
@@EvanCooper_b_prepared No problem, happy to help!
Anyone know the brand of the motors on the X-Trail Pro?
Spent 3 weeks attempting to order one only to be ignored & watch it’s price increase by $500? 🤔
I don't know why you needed to contact them to order it. You just place your order through the website. The $2000 price was only an early bird special, it was going up at some point. But sucks you missed it, it was a great price.
Anyone done a range test on this bike?
Not that i know of. I will be releasing a range test video soon.
We are all waiting on proof.
Yeah, I hear you.
pedala che ti fa bene va la.......
Pedalerò per il video del test di autonomia.
no its definitely 15ah and 20 ah batteries haha
No, it's technically 20ah and 19.2ah. But they told us the 15ah got upgraded. And it did, I checked.
