Absolutely worth buying it as a beginner It handles heavy people very well has a max weight of 330 I am 337 and I have 14 extra pounds on the bike on the back. Right now I have 375 miles!! It works awesome!! You can't buy a better bike for the money seriously. The bike weight payload of 330 max weight takes everything into consideration. That includes the motor. I always pedal when I use the bike I never never just use throttle going max speed although I've tried it a couple of times. I'm sure that if you're always using the throttle and you weigh over 330 lb It will wear the motor out. But if you're always pedaling and you're not doing Mountain trails going crazy abusing the bike You should be fine. As for the miles. I routinely go 24 miles at a time to reach that over 300 mi. After 24 mi I have roughly 25% battery left. I usually use PAS2 But that's on the 0 to 7 PAS I think it's 35 or 40% power. That'll usually get you an average of about 15 miles an hour. That will get you roughly 35 mi to 0 %power. And remember I only have the 11.2 AH battery. The 16 or the 20 will get you more! And sometimes during the bike path I'll kick it and go up to 28 or 32 mph!! BUT THAT WEARS THE BATTERY DOWN VERY FAST USING THAT MUCH POWER. All that being said. If I was you I would never let it go below the last bar of the battery. That would be under 10%. They usually say batteries work best if you recharged them at about 20% And then don't charge them right away let them cool down. Store your batteries at about 40 to 60%. Never leave them stored below 20% or at 100%. This is for all batteries in general If you want them to last a long time. So yeah getting the 16 AH battery would be better than the 11.2 cuz then you could really stay in that battery range I mentioned. Here's the link to buy the bike from the actual company. And also here is a code that I use to get $50 off on top of it. www.g-forcebike.com/?ref=jTP-k_enJagTZ0 KNOJI50 ( promotion code ) I know everything about this bike feel free to ask me anything I mean I know how to take apart and fix every little thing!!
I also have a bunch of performance videos coming!! Just been real busy. One good performance video of the LECTRIC XP 2.0 VERSUS THE T42 GEFORCE. I have both bikes because I bought the XP 2.0 for my wife cuz it's better for the smaller riders because it accommodates someone down to 5 ft. T42 because of the bigger tires another advantage only recommends minimum of 5'3 Spoiler alert the G-Force is better in so many different ways The XP 2.0 and the company needs to catch up to the competition!!!
So far 500 miles with all this weight on the bike probably carrying myself and everything else around 345 lb in the bike is working perfectly no problems.. simply amazing
A friend of mine had a problem with the sensor so I made this video. It shouldn't be a common problem but it's good to know how easy it is to fix. Here are the pedals I bought they are ROCK BROS they're really great!! Aluminum 4 bearings. Here's The link below. amzn.to/3pcpUCw I LOVE THEM THEY'RE GREAT FOR MY BIG FEET SIZE 13 QUADRUPLE E!! The other pedals I tried just didn't come out far enough from the crank. It seems like everyone focuses on the width of the pedal from front to back but not from the crank out when you have wide feet. These are great! I'm sticking with these!! I tried a couple other pair that were pretty good But not big enough for my feet..
Thanks Big-Foot...(I read about your nice pedals) hehehe Anyway, Your info is a great start for adding a B-Fang mid-motor. (Next step when the hub motor dies). I'm loving the T42... Are you using seat post suspension?
No I can't because I'm too heavy those only handle like 250lbd I have a really big awesome seat that I'm using I'm going to do a review on all of them cuz I tried them all. The cloud 9, the daway, etc... As I keep losing weight eventually I'll be able to use a suspension seat post.. non can handle my weight yet.
Thats awesome!@@thefix-itguyreviewer8151 I'm trying the Keto diet and not much success yet... _ went with the Suntour cantilever style seat post and a cloud 9 seat, all Amazon...
You mean the performance difference between the G-Force T42 VS LECTRIC XP 2.0? If that's what you're talking about then I've just been very busy with the kids, grandkids, and actually riding our bikes a lot. We drove about 100 mi In about 2 days. But I'll get to it as soon as I can.
No they did not But they will reimburse you for it. If you tell him you bought it and you send them the Amazon receipt they will put the money in your account of PayPal or something. They actually did that for me because I had hydraulic fluid leak out. I bought a kitten hydroxluid and redid my brakes. They paid for the kit and the hydraulic fluid paid me back. I'm sure they'll do the same thing for you. There's customer services pretty awesome. Just follow my video it's very easy.. Not sure don't remember right now if I put the link in the description for the kit.. If I didn't let me know I'll send you the Amazon link
I just hope that you have your settings right that's the most important thing.. putting it back to default settings and starting over following my video. Because if you get a new sensor in the settings are wrong the same thing is going to happen. On these bikes you can actually shut off the throttle use the p a s only.. both at the same time. Or just use your throttle only and no PAS. So it's definitely possible..
the configuration I have is 0-3 I moved number the speed I don't know if it will affect it but I don't know how to set it as it came from the factory thanks for your help if you think I'm wrong let me know
Yes I actually have a video it's very easy... Let me edit it and I'll try to get it up by tomorrow. It only cost like $30.. definitely worth doing it..
@@thefix-itguyreviewer8151 That would awesome! I saw this video th-cam.com/video/8Rc01qyyI6I/w-d-xo.html and it mentioned he was not able to do it because it could use a shimano flywheel that is discontinued.
@@stewartbrown8526 if you're doing it on the g-force t42 you can buy the seven gear sprocket that goes on the back wheel from Amazon 11 through 32 or 11 through 34 so you get the better gear which is the 34 for hills and the 11 which will stop the ghosting.. the original one was 14 to 28 It doesn't have to be Shimano.. it just has to be a freewheel 11 through 32 which is the one I picked. The 34 seem to be really big gear I don't know if I would trust that without changing the derailleur.
@@thefix-itguyreviewer8151 ahh ok. Do you happen to recommend one on Amazon? If you ever time to post the video you did it would great, but no worries.
@@stewartbrown8526 absolutely when I get a chance. But I think on TH-cam they don't allow you to show links like that I've tried before.. it's a TH-cam link they block it. All you have to do is go on Amazon and type in ( Shimano 11 through 32 freewheel ) could see a bunch come up even though I said Shimano you don't have to buy the Shimano one the other ones will come up.
That's because default settings are not the correct settings. That's why you have to go through my video and copy each setting one by one. Those default settings are the manufacturer of the digital display settings not what the GeForce bike needs they set those at the GeForce factory That's why I made this video so follow the video and you should be fine
I miss ridding these e-bikes time to get back out their!!
YEP WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO GO THIS WEEK WITH MEMA
“I’m the grandson that says papa can fix anything!!”
anyway thanks it was helpful can you tell me what type of crankshaft to order please
How well does this bike handle heavier ppl straight out the box? How many miles did you get on 1 charge & Is it worth buying as a beginner?
Absolutely worth buying it as a beginner
It handles heavy people very well has a max weight of 330
I am 337 and I have 14 extra pounds on the bike on the back.

Interested in the pedals you have.
Also, is the crank sensor an common issue? Or just a maintenance deal?
A friend of mine had a problem with the sensor so I made this video. It shouldn't be a common problem but it's good to know how easy it is to fix.

Correction update!! I think I'm going to buy one of those suspended seat posts now!!
I lost 127 lbs!!
Feels good to be normal again ;)

When's that performance review coming?
You mean the performance difference between the G-Force T42 VS LECTRIC XP 2.0?
If that's what you're talking about then I've just been very busy with the kids, grandkids, and actually riding our bikes a lot.
We drove about 100 mi In about 2 days.
But I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Oh ok.
I just figured The Fix-It Guy REVIEWER would post content relative to the topic henceforth.
Silly me.
Ho hard is it to change the front chain ring to a bigger one?
Front chain ring?
@@thefix-itguyreviewer8151 Yeah, the big sprocket attached to the cranks
They agreed to send me the sensor, did they also send you a tool?
No they did not But they will reimburse you for it.
If you tell him you bought it and you send them the Amazon receipt they will put the money in your account of PayPal or something.
They actually did that for me because I had hydraulic fluid leak out. I bought a kitten hydroxluid and redid my brakes. They paid for the kit and the hydraulic fluid paid me back.

Hello do you know of any video that will show me how to change the flywheel on t42 to stop the ghost pedaling.
