    I am seriously considering getting me one as I live in a small town and could easily get all around. Problem is the more reviews I read the more confused I get. Thank you for your unbiased and put.

      This one is a great one for getting around on. Are you in a hilly area? Flat ground areas you can get a less powerful and inexpensive model.

    Both myself and my wife have bikes like this with normal tires for about 10 years, my wife is disabled and cannot pedal a normal bike. They have served us well and fold up in the RV.

    Congrats you got the new bike! You put in the hard work sharing these informative videos. With the power and range of this bike, I could easily climb hills, thread in the forest, and store it under the shed outdoors. A great model for my weak knees.⚡⚡

    I have two ebikes both are rad, the one is a fat tire folder & the other is a full size 19" commuter ebike, and to be honest they are both very heavy bikes, 68lbs without the battery. I'm only saying if your older like me 65+ . It helps having the power assist for riding on hills, but man you better be strong to get it in your car after riding. I seen folks use a storage container to help get it into the back seat without dirtying up your car. And a bike rack, well they are expensive for ebikes & have to be rated for the weight of the bike or it could become a missal on the highway...yikes. I bought a bike rack & omg it's so hard to get the bike on it & it weighs almost what the bike weighs. I didn't like my bike with the fat tire, the commuter for riding streets & trails where I live is much easier to handle & performance with the bigger wheels is superior to the fat tire. It's not a motocross bike so look at the wiring & make sure the electrical connection are protected from rain or you could be biking home with human power only.

    We like our e-bikes but take care that you have the system off if the petals activate motion. The bike can dump you if not careful. But, riding is great.

    Just put mine together and made a video…..I feel like it needs a lot of adjustments out of the box. Pas 1 and pas 2 is very weak, then you get to 3-4-5 and it feels like every other e-bike I own. I was able to adjust the pas levels on 1 and 2 To little higher and it gave it a bit more “kick” im only 25 miles into mine so need more time to really post an opinion.

    70 pounds or 30 kilos on the bike ? I think I'd do my back in trying to lift that into the back of a car. Looks interesting but too heavy for use for me.

  • @GNX157
    @GNX157 ปีที่แล้ว

    Make a special fireproof area in your shop to charge and store the batteries. They burn extremely hot and fast once they are in runaway mode and basically cannot be put out. They have to run their course and burn out.
