I got my x3 a month ago, and I love it, it's a beast. I got a folding stem for the handle bars to make it easily fold flat and I can get it in the hatch of my Mazda cx-3, mini SUV. On PAS 3, I get around 45 total miles range, staying around 25mph. Pushing it max speed will definitely cut into the range, but it's super fun. Top speed I've got is 38 on flat fresh pavement, PAS 5. I will say I wish the display gave voltage info, the battery display will sag and bounce back up after you turn the bike back on.
Did you open it up in the advanced settings to achieve that 38 on the flat pave? Is that even possible with this bike? What's your weight and height? I know that is a factor. Thanks!
Great videos. I'm an old 65 year old with a smaller e-bike and I'm going to get another one soon. You provide great information. You also remind me of some of the great people I encountered on long motorcycle trips across the country(Dallas to Rochester, Dallas to Portland, Dallas to Sturgis, etc, etc). Keep up the great work because you're one of the best e-bike reviewers out there.
Love these videos man. I try to check out all the locations you go, it really opened my eyes to all the cool places around here. Last week I was under the Rt1 bridge in a dinghy for the first time and it was totally familiar from your videos. Keep up the good work!
Now I can visit American cities, attend most events, eat all types of food, drive anything, ride everything that yu come across through your videos.thanks.appreciate.Zimbabwe will never be able to get these cool things in my lifetime.thanks.
very nice, I'd say it's a keeper too. I haven't gotten an Ebike yet. I'm ramping my knowledge base with your reviews , as I only want one! and I want one that last
Fantastic video. I love that bike!! Great top end speed, surprised a 750 gives out 1400watts, but that's amazing. Also the 20mah battery is a must. I would never settle for less battery size than hat 😊
You are becoming real pro in this reviews love area wher you drive. I think it is time that Jen starts to do this reviews so we can see her view and review will be interesting .
I'm a standard mountain bike rider. But have been considering an ebike to the line up. Simply because you review them and have my interested sparked in them.
I just ordered this bike on Friday. Your video is the best I've seen on it so far. I'm wondering if you would mind me asking what brand/type of camera you use to shoot the videos? It is by far the sharpest, and highest quality camera footage of any bike video I have watched, and I have watched about 200 videos over the last several weeks before I made my purchase.
That's awesome. Good luck with it. I'm sure you'll love it. I've been riding this one quite a bit and it's a blast. I use the GoPro hero 9 mostly. And also my s23 plus cell phone
Chris, do the makers of these bikes send you them to review and do you send them back or do you buy them and keep them? you must have dozens and dozens of E-bikes now?
Damn man, me being 6 foot one and 275 pounds this is the type of bike I would love to have especially with my five year old daughter loving to ride her bike everywhere. I just don’t have the money to get a great bike like this and I have my second child on the way this month. How do you get these companies to give you these bikes? It’s amazing. I love all the reviews on them.
Very nice bike, the weight of the bike will give smoother suspension than a light bike. 30 miles is very respectable for the speed you were going and the headlight seemed to illuminate very good, thank for the test run, be safe ;)
Hey Chris, any chance you'll be reviewing the eahora Romeo anytime soon? it seems to be one of the only bikes with the 60 ah battery ive only seen it on the aniioki a8.
Great video of a first rate bike Chris! Entertaining and informative. You can get a speeding ticket on this bike! I wonder how this one would pull up that steep hill that you sometimes go up?
Great review. I enjoy watching your cruises they bring back memories to when i used to be able to go to those places. Btw. Where can i find a dog exactly like Gus? When are you and Jen getting married. Such a great couple.
Is this a swing your leg over the seat at your height, or could you step over it? Looking at something for hunting and would not be able to clear a stand on a tall bike. Doesnt look like you have reviewed the wallke step thru bike yet.
Yeah this is one of my favorite bikes I've ever tested and it has great styling too. I like that it's folding as well. I'm not sure what the current pricing is on the cruiser pro. They always have different sales going on and such. I like this one more though. The cruiser pro frame is kind of short
I will be doing another video at some point on it yes. I have a bunch of clips and such that I have recorded. But it probably won't be posted very soon. Been very slow progress with moving in and getting things proper
@@NNKH2 I understand that! I'm interested to see your layout and hear your reasoning, and insight. Trying to make a shop efficient and flow well it's the goal!
What happens when the batteries finally ends up needing replacement in a few years? Seems to me that many of these battery packs are custom shapes and may not be easily replaceable if the E-bike company disappears. It would be nice if there was some sort of standard to make them easily replaceable. Great video, thanks, Chris.
The company is offering a 20AH (included w/bike)+20AH battery deal right now for just $200 more than the bike alone, as well as a $120 extended Labor Day sale discount. Spare batteries cost around $550 otherwise.
you can do math to find out how fast a charger will charge a certain sized battery. I copy pasted this from a website. "If you divide the amp hour rating of your battery by the amp rating of your charger, that is how long it will take you to fully charge your battery. However, all good lithium smart chargers dial back the charge at the end of the charge cycle, so they take a little longer than what they are rated for. So for a 10 Amp-hour battery it will take a 5-amp charger a little more than 2 hours to charge your pack. With a 1-amp charger it will take 10 hours. The larger the battery, the safer it is to charge at high amps. For example, charging at 5 amps is fast for a 10 Amp-hour battery, but…not so fast for a 20 Amp-hour battery. When you charge your battery fast, all the time it will greatly reduce your batteries life expectancy. We recommend you stick to slow charging (4 hours or more) or go with a charger that can switch between fast and slow charges like the Luna Charger."
Older videos I was 6'2". Which is what my license says. But Jen did not believe it and thought it was outdated so she decided to measure me and I'm an inch installer now
A electric bike sound good to have but me and my 75 old mom are on a fix income and I take care of her and my regular bike is fall apart and I don't have the money to buy ether one it is the only way to get up street to do grocery shopping by the way nice bike
Looks like a good strong heavy bike but the 26 inch tires are too big. Even a Sauran doesn't have tires that big. Standard folding bike tires are 20 inch.
If I was in the market for an ebike, I'd probably get this one. I'm at the minimum height, but I'd make it work. Love the speed capabilities of this. Would make traveling on roads like 206 or Rt. 1 less sketchy.
why don't you have cycle paths in America here in the Netherlands you have very nice cycle paths most traffic lights turn green when you approach them by bike very safe you even have fast cycle paths if you want to go from one city to another really great.
The Netherlands is about 237 times smaller than United States and has 18 times less population. Solutions aren't always the same with different variables.
In reality most Americans buy a bike ride it twice sits in a garage till they move. In states like Colorado they have paths like that cause many are more active. Also cost of living in most states are so high many can't afford thousand of dollars for a bike.
As we all know that the income level, demographics and tax base of a city in Colorado like Vail is exactly the same as Trenton NJ, where he is cycling in the video, it's baffling why there are not an equal amount of bike paths. @@SmartBusN
BEWARE OF WALLKE!!! I paid $2,499 for my H6 a year ago. I questioned the mileage being short of what they claim so they had me do dangerous tests that burned up my rear hub and controller. Now they have no replacements for the controller. I paid for a new rear hub, $400 and a new controller, $130 and the controller they sent doesn't work. They sent me another one but it was a used one that also doesn't work. Now they have no more to send out and the $3,029 that I've now spent on this bike is a total waste!!
@@NNKH2 I bet some tire maker would give you a set if you reviewed and promoted them as a speed/performance enhancer. After market performance parts for electric bikes -- a whole new market segment! 😁
Going three years with this crap bike I've had to replace the frame it broke at the hinge. I have had to replace the controller three times, the magnetic PAS device on the crank three times I have a small ranch with a bike trail no hills no jumps I have put on less than three thousand miles, it's one problem after the other the rear triangle stay on the kickstand side recently broke. All the cheap plastic bushings for the full suspension completely wore out my only fix was to drill them out and bolt them in place.. BUYER BEWARE !!!!
I bet you have the best electric bike collection in the world.
I've ask so many times what Chris does with them and if he would do a giveaway lol
He said before that he sells them at a discount to supplement his income since he left his full time job.
They give him free bikes ?
Yup

Can you pedal it as a regular bike without training the battery?
Where did you get the folding stem for the bars?
Did you open it up in the advanced settings to achieve that 38 on the flat pave? Is that even possible with this bike? What's your weight and height? I know that is a factor. Thanks!

Appreciate the video… I do have a question though. Would I be able to fold this bike and put it on the backseat of my 2000 Honda accord?
Thanks and glad you liked the video. I don't think it would fit in an accord. It might? But I'm just not sure
Now I can visit American cities, attend most events, eat all types of food, drive anything, ride everything that yu come across through your videos.thanks.appreciate.Zimbabwe will never be able to get these cool things in my lifetime.thanks.
long time subscriber! I'm from Bordentown area, worked in Hamilton. I'm now located in Minneapolis now. crazy seeing you there! love the videos
Great review. I'm going to buy one of these.
very nice, I'd say it's a keeper too. I haven't gotten an Ebike yet. I'm ramping my knowledge base with your reviews , as I only want one! and I want one that last
i want an E-bike so bad... i love these videos
Fantastic video. I love that bike!! Great top end speed, surprised a 750 gives out 1400watts, but that's amazing. Also the 20mah battery is a must. I would never settle for less battery size than hat 😊
I like this bike. Saw it’s available in green. You have the best bike reviews! Wish Electra Townie would send you a e-bike to review.
Enjoyed it! This bike deserves another video ride, maybe with some train/subway action.
Another great video keep them coming 🤘😎🤘
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you. Very good road trip. Nice bike fire works were cool ,Guess looked comfortable
You are becoming real pro in this reviews love area wher you drive. I think it is time that Jen starts to do this reviews so we can see her view and review will be interesting .
looks solid, compact, and ready to roll 💯

Brother love when your ride through town...looks like a great place to live!!
You might like the Magicycle Deer. Or try an Arial Rider Kepler.
Chris, do the makers of these bikes send you them to review and do you send them back or do you buy them and keep them? you must have dozens and dozens of E-bikes now?
I sell them when done with the video. Unless it's a bike I really like. In this case I'll be keeping this one and selling an older one that I kept
Not far from the Petro Truck Stop in Bordentown at one point. I retired in 2017 and their restaurant was good back then 😊
That's a great truck stop! And yes I've eaten there as well. Great spot
Great video quality.
Excellent footage. Kept me really engaged . It was just kinda blurry. Might have been my streaming connection.
Best value for the money bike you have reviewed so far. If this was 60V+ it would be one of the best selling here in the US.
What is the point of ball end allens?
For getting at an allen head that you can't get straight on. You can get it at a slight angle
The wired 60 v , would be nice to see what you think .
Thanks man - this bike looks like a good bet for me I'm 6'5" and 300. The bike looks beefy!
Damn man, me being 6 foot one and 275 pounds this is the type of bike I would love to have especially with my five year old daughter loving to ride her bike everywhere. I just don’t have the money to get a great bike like this and I have my second child on the way this month. How do you get these companies to give you these bikes? It’s amazing. I love all the reviews on them.
Are the batteries in these bikes rebuildable? I’m just wondering if the bike is useless in a couple years if the battery goes bad.
Yes they are
Very nice bike, the weight of the bike will give smoother suspension than a light bike. 30 miles is very respectable for the speed you were going and the headlight seemed to illuminate very good, thank for the test run, be safe ;)
Muy espectacular 😻 me gusta... ❤...Saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪
A year+ later, have you had any mechanical issues with it?
No and I still have it. I don't write it all that much though. Usually a few times a month
Hey Chris, any chance you'll be reviewing the eahora Romeo anytime soon? it seems to be one of the only bikes with the 60 ah battery ive only seen it on the aniioki a8.
No I don't have any plans scheduled for that one. Maybe in the future though
What distance do you think you could get if you ran it at three instead of five? Do you think you could squeeze 50 miles out of it?
That's a very nice looking bike.
I hope you review the H6 Max when they are shipped out
Great review brother ! My question is do the handlebars go up any higher ? Thanks .
Great video of a first rate bike Chris! Entertaining and informative. You can get a speeding ticket on this bike! I wonder how this one would pull up that steep hill that you sometimes go up?
Thanks! And most hub motorbikes do mediocre on hills. The mid-drive ones are night and day for torque.
Sweet Bike Dude!!!
Good job.. Good job talking and editing.👍
Great review. I enjoy watching your cruises they bring back memories to when i used to be able to go to those places. Btw. Where can i find a dog exactly like Gus? When are you and Jen getting married. Such a great couple.
Cool e-bike..I want one !
This bike looks awesome! Is this the black or the grey?
It really is! And Grey
You must have a small fleet of them bikes?
Is this a swing your leg over the seat at your height, or could you step over it? Looking at something for hunting and would not be able to clear a stand on a tall bike. Doesnt look like you have reviewed the wallke step thru bike yet.
Love your videos..I like this one about the best looking bike so far…how much for the cruiser pro?
Yeah this is one of my favorite bikes I've ever tested and it has great styling too. I like that it's folding as well. I'm not sure what the current pricing is on the cruiser pro. They always have different sales going on and such. I like this one more though. The cruiser pro frame is kind of short
Love your suburbs, very kool! Ill buy the one you dont keep! If you have a box send it to me in Australia.
Can’t find any reviews on the 2024 X3 Max (AWD)
not a bad price ! built mine 5 years ago on a $300 mountain bike with fastest motor 40 mph ,48v 15ah batt $2300
Chris can you please tell me which spedo / GPS app you use??
I downloaded it on Android market and it's called Ulysses GPS
Thanks!
Thanks! What's the step.over height? My wife is 5'4" and may be an issue for her.
Great video..
Thanks!
How do you secure your bike while you’re out on the scene?
With a bike lock
You like this better then the Engwe engine Pro?
It's not exactly a fair comparison because this one is full size. But yes I prefer the full size folding bike
How do i buy one of the bikes you dont use anymore. FB marketplace? Can i friend you and get notifications when you post them?
Is that stone or the new best Backdrop?
It's spray foam coated with gray fire retarded paint. If you're talking about the scene in the garage that is
Hey man when are we going to see progress of the garage?
I will be doing another video at some point on it yes. I have a bunch of clips and such that I have recorded. But it probably won't be posted very soon. Been very slow progress with moving in and getting things proper

It's how much? It's legal to ride in the U.K. let me know. Thank you
I have the wallke f3 and i really like it its fun bike to ride. But the top speed on this one wants me to upgrade.
will these pedals hold up 275lbs ?
- in case I need to stand up pedal if I run out of battery
I bought the 2024 model 1,200 watt motor 2,000 watt plus peak. Happy but I have to let her sit. It is way to cold to ride right now hahahahah😅😊😂
Was this the dual or single motor?
Single
What gps speed app do you have?
Anyone ever notice sometimes Chris is 6’2” and sometimes he is 6’3” ?
Older videos I was 6'2". Which is what my license says. But Jen did not believe it and thought it was outdated so she decided to measure me and I'm an inch installer now
@@NNKH2 makes perfect sense now, I’m a recent fan so I’m not watching the videos in chronological order. Keep up the great work
@@NNKH2 you are an "inch installer now"?
Is that on your dating profile? 😂
I’d take a 65 Riv over that bipolar 73 styling myself
Same here! The '65 is a great looking car.
Any updates on this bike? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger
I like it and held on to it. Works great
Those potholes, no street department there? lol
you convinced me i will pull the plug in 2 weeks thank you. 35 miles plus they say the single motor is better than dual due to the battery size.
Where do you sell these bikes when you decide to let them go?
Facebook marketplace
Wouldn’t we get that same manual if we got one of those bikes? So weird that u show it 😂
Yes but some people like to look through the manual before getting the bike and they don't always have it on the website
Can anyone tell me if the rear gear set is a freewheel or cassette?
A electric bike sound good to have but me and my 75 old mom are on a fix income and I take care of her and my regular bike is fall apart and I don't have the money to buy ether one it is the only way to get up street to do grocery shopping by the way nice bike
That's quite a stout looking bike. 8 speeds and a great payload.
No video has shown the difference between rear wheel drive versus all wheel drive....
Nice secret jet turn by that Nissan SUV. Moving violation in some states.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, but Jen is a lot nicer to look at than you. it would be fun seeing her on one of these bikes bike reviews.
Do a video playing electric guitar real quick on this channel! I see your guitars in the livingroom lol
Who happier, Gus or Chris?
Is this there Premium Bike
Looks like a good strong heavy bike but the 26 inch tires are too big. Even a Sauran doesn't have tires that big. Standard folding bike tires are 20 inch.

If I was in the market for an ebike, I'd probably get this one. I'm at the minimum height, but I'd make it work. Love the speed capabilities of this. Would make traveling on roads like 206 or Rt. 1 less sketchy.
Jens the chillest chick, and shes so into what u do.. awesome chick, she have a cousin or sister?
Haha! My first car… 90 jetta. Ripped it through a parking lot and slid into a curb… bent the A arm and jacked the steely rim. 😩
