Hey guys, as an owner of one of these camo monster since October 2020, I am simply loving it here in Washington state! Put in near 800 miles on it now and still going strong. And yes, I was paying a bit less than what it cost now but that was due to inflation, tariff, etc. I wholly agreed about the quality of the components, for example, those tires themselves out lasted twice of what I got from my Kendra ones on my old ebike and still have plenty of treads showing little wear! The fast charger also charges both batteries at the same time via a port on the frame or charges individually. I could and have gone on and on about what I loved about this bike in past comments. One of my minor complain was the bike has NO brake light and the trail light was only powered by AA batteries. I solved the power issue by running and strapping a 6' long USB cable from the USB charging port near the handle bar to a tail light Dave Cleveland, the owner and his extremely helpful customer service Rachel have been nothing but outstanding in answering and all questions and follow ups!
@BenBenson ... Heck no, LOL. with both motors going, I felt like I was riding with a full nest of buzzing bees! That bike is LOUD, from the motors and tires.... then again, going at near 34mph at times and with the wind blowing pass my motorcycle helmet, I wouldn't know what was noisier. - - - Can I sneak up on an animal!? Probably not. Using it to get to somewhere that I could leave the bike behind and stalk prays on foot? Yes. - - - Hell, I equate this bike like the tanks I commanded. Noisy and even with camo paint... imposing and wouldn't hide well; it simply announces its presence. But I do enjoy the heck outta it!
@BenBenson... same here, never hunted myself and would not do so for sports! Yes, this just reminded me of my tanks- build very rugged indeed. Take care and be safe wherever you are.
@@SeasonalObsession ... hey, if you do get one, I hope you would enjoy it as much as I have. Granted, it's NOT the perfect dream bike, then again, nothing will always be perfect in life. Even as I bragged about this bike, there are little things that I would have like to see improved upon... sturdier headlight mounting, better front mud guard stability, internal powered brake light, and instead of bar end rear view mirrors that turned the bike to the width of an aircraft carrier, I'd like mirrors clamped onto the handle bar instead, etc. Still, it's the overall experience of riding this bike was what really counted! Ride safe. Enjoy.
Micah you do a stellar job reviewing ebike. Love your work, knowledge and detailed information and that ride-on camera capture is just magic. Big fan of Electrek.
Have had mine for two weeks. Love the bike. Didn't get some of the named parts I was contracted to get. The Rockshox rear was replaced with a BNM. This thing is a beast. When comparing to an average mountain bike, thin F350 vs F150. I have had to adjust several things like brakes due to rotor noise. Can't wait for the mountain passes to open for the season.
I have been waiting for a review for this ebike for a LONG time. I found out about this ebike in a top 5 fat wheel ebike a couple of months ago, and this is ranked number 1 (the video didn’t show much detail on ebike like you did, but it’s a top 5 video). I couldn’t find any full reviews about this ebike until now. This maybe a ebike for me, my old ebike is one thread away to the trash And I hope to buy this ebike when the time comes.
You can buy a good retail ebike for half the costs--like i did--and buy a front hub motor and kit off ebay for 200 dollars--it is a 2 hour job at a bike shop and I might help them to learn. I paid 1700 and for another 700--I have suspension seat and seatposts--1000 watt front hub motor--200 dollars-(1800 watt peak)--a 48 v 20 ah battery for 200 dollars and about 150 to 200 dollars to have it professionally installed. I looked at this bike but man its 4k--plus I have a 20 inch which is easier to manage and with dual batteries and dual independent motors with seperate controllers--I will have over 3000 watts of power.I also have a 750 bafang on a 20 inch CSC and it is pulling 1300 to 1400 watts ip hills--so they might be beibg conservative to keep this close to legal. I have 96 v and 34 ah--and since i pedal with PAS 3--I will have 80 plus mile range.I can do 55 plus right now on half the battery.I will use the 750 to PAS and when I get to offroad trails and hills will use the 1000, The 1000 will also have its own controller and folks with a dual 750 setup are doing 28 up hills--so i should be able to do 32 up a hill. I will be throttle only with the 1000--and with its own seperate controller will have full power all the time.This is a great bike--but at 4k you are in surron and segway 260 price.If money were no object--I would get this bike--but they are adding almost 2k for a front hub motor and battery that you can get for about 1/5th the price--and you are getting a bigger more powerful motor and its own controller since the kits have the controllers included--so i will always be able to get home if one of these fails. 2400 dollars as oppsed to 4k plus.Reason i did this is because you have to assemble the frot end of these bikes and I might as well get a better hub motor and battery for the price.
In the process of building a duel 1500 watt motors, duel 48v batteries, duel everything also. But my bike has tons of chrome and a ton of extras. Totally a street bike but has all terrain tires. A work in progress for sure
you curtainly do a great job with that camera you are useing,and its not easy the way you do it,YOU DO A GREAT JOB ON YOUR VIDEOS WITH THAT CAMERA ON AN EXTENSION STICK WELL DONE.
Ok, I have to laugh. Several times during the video it's mentioned how beefy this bike is, and at 95lbs it's not for those who only want a basic commuter. I've ridden motorcycles since I was 15 years old, I'm 60 years old now. 95 lbs is less than 1/6th the weight/bulk of the average motorcycles I've ridden. This would feel like a kids toy under me, but that's not a bad thing. Yes, don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking this ebike for even a second. Like I said, I'm 60 years old now, and the years have taken their toll on joints and strength. I think I would have a blast knocking around on a bike like this, and I might just have to go pick one up. Really looks awesome.
Just an added note, this bike is so heavy and with over sized tires that usual bike racks would not accommodate; I have to buy a motorcycle carrier that would take lighter motorcycle for my trailer hitch, and the included ramp helps greatly getting this beast onto the rack and strapped down. No bungees here but a couple of motorcycle ratchet tie down straps to keep the hundred pounder in place. Hope you all are still enjoying and taming this E-Cell beast
Anybody want to buy my two Ancheers? I'm selling these and getting that! Yey! I just have convince my wife. Toilet scrubbing, back yard cleaning, here I come.
@tarstarkusz I would have to defend Micah Toll here based upon my personal experience as President of E-cells. He absolutely wont allow any editorial influence on his videos or articles.
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
I ride RadRover from Rad Power and everything you did in this review is nothing different than what my RadRover does. I wanted you to conquer some hills and real off road. You past a nice 10-12 foot hill on one of these trails that I was wondering, would you try climbing it? I gotta admit, the first year with my RadRover, I was jumping curbs and pushing the bike as fast as it can go and, the bike stood up to all the abuse I threw at it and it still does. Not anymore, tho. This is my soul source of transportation and nowadays, I ride it just the way you were riding this Crown Monarch in this review...like, I don’t push my RadRover anymore. So, not much different than my RadRover other than, the two battery packs (needed for two 500 w motors) duel suspension (which I have on RadRover from a Suntour Suspension Seatpost), the top speed of 52 Km, when RadRover is 40KM...not stock, stock is the same as Monarch, to get the top speed at 40KM you go into the secret menus just like the Monarch. It would be stupid to go faster than 40KM on a city sidewalk however, that difference in speed in the Monarch, will allow for much more power in pulling and pushing the Monarch up steep inclines and very powerful at slow speeds. I really want this Monarch bike!
I hear the Super Monarch Double Crown AWD is out, does it also have a Hunter model? I'll want to go for that, even with the Super Monarch, I almost dislocate necks turning to follow me cruise by in Nigeria with it!
@@2nd2none73 yes mine showed up yesterday with MONE of the updated parts. No torque sensor no updated forks nothing. They have been preaching for 4 months now the bike with torque sensor is on the way. Now they tell me may. I just got a refund and moved on to a bigger more reputable company. Ordered a rambo megatron with 2 1k watt motors and batteries
Don’t be surprised on April 8 when a normal bike shows up with no updates. The new dates a now May. Would be surprised if those have a torque sensor either. David gave me the whole spill how it would be middle of May before they even had the opportunity to offer a bike with torque sensor
@@jwild5360 Someone responded to me saying they just got their bike with a torque sensor and I got an email from Dave saying mine would have a torque sensor
Hi! I would love to see a review of the daymak road warrior, there is no video content about it othere than the official trailer on TH-cam, si it would be nice to see a review on it!
One question I have is on chain durability with all that torque. Is there a different or stronger bike chain? Is it relevant question. Just wanting to make most informed decisions as I am now considering AWD bikes.
I don't know what N.M is, but I ride my 250-watt folding electric bike up 40% short hills, with a lot of pedaling and praying that I don't burn it out, but it has not yet failed me. With 9 times the power and dual traction, this Crown should fly, and give you a nice looking but in the process. I'm 160lb, and my Ancheer is about 60 lb, so 30 more pounds for this monster should be all additional power to climb.
The individual motors are 400 rpm/85Nm of torque, plus 52V. Don't believe the hype that applying two motors gives you the same torque as one. With two motors you are doubling the power to the ground. The advantages of AWD Electric Bikes Power: Two motors can easily do what one will not. Redundancy: If one motor fails you have another as a backup. If both motors fail you can still ride the bike home. Traction: What good is having extra power if you can’t deliver it to the ground? With a dual-motors driving two wheels at the same speed you are delivering twice the power to the ground. The AWD E-Bike easily travels through soft sand, mud, and snow. Increased Speed: The AWD electric bicycle will produce a 16% higher speed for the same amount of power that would be applied to a single motor. 28mph vs 24mph Efficiency: With AWD you can travel further with the same battery and power of a single wheeled powered E-Bike. And, because of the 16% increase of speed for the same wattage you can travel 16% farther with an AWD e-bike. This is truly “synergy in motion”. Less Trail Damage: Another consideration is that when riding on trails in the National Park system single wheel E-Bikes tear up the trails more than a AWD E-Bike of equal power because the power is split between two wheels. Durability: The dual motors run more than 50% cooler than a single motor under high stress. Better Handling: On dry pavement, AWD can help the E-Bike handle better and ensure that full power gets to the road. And in slippery conditions, such as ice, snow or mud, it provides additional traction for safer, more confident handling. The front motor also assists in pulling you through the corners. All season riding: With an AWD E-Bike you can ride year-round. Peace of mind: Regardless of where you live, it’s likely you get at least occasional bad weather. Whether it’s snow, rain or anything in between, you’ll certainly sleep better knowing you have an E-Cells Super Monarch AWD™ E-Bike when the going gets really tough !
@@e-cells2222 ... Yep, I fully agree! I only slipped twice on this bike... first time riding thru black ice that I didn't see. I had little problem riding this on snow covered city streets but didn't realize there was a patch of ice underneath the snow!!! - - - The second time was following my mountain bike buddy going down a steep single track in a wooded area; I was unable to make a turn around a sharp bend on the trail as this bike was massive with long wheel base. In order to prevent myself from going off the side of the trail and down a steep slop, I have do dump the bike and it landed on me, needing my buddy to help me get it off me and back on my feet! So, yes, I could go to many places but I am also learning its limitations! I would treat this bike like a lower power motorcross and keep that in mind and all should be great.
So that's about 3 hp, but much more usable: What is top speed? Do all states allow use without registration? Half the weight with the same capability as a Honda 70 or even 100, and not noise, smoke, and hassle; but, do you expect any reduction in weight with the same capability? I'm hoping to afford it soon, but I love a light vehicle that I can lift across obstacles.
The bike was designed for off-road and as such will easily propel a 225lb person over 35mph. At those speeds your not legal to ride on the streets, however, if you do, one motor can be shut off and remain a class 2 750 watt bike.
Great review but who doesn’t want a way overpowered ebike for the street that isn’t just the tip of the spear but is in fact the whole spear? If only I had the cash!
I'm a noob, anyone know if down the road a pinion gear with a belt could be added and get rid of the cassette and derailer? Maintenance would be next to nothing.
This looks like what I want, I live on a Ranch in Lake Hughes lots of sand and vertical, I want to be able to ride the canyon up and down from Castaic and also ride Pine Canyon to Three Points, maybe even Lake Elizabeth to Sierra Highway all the way to Burbank, this is the only Bike I've seen that would be great for the Ranch and those rides. Thanks for the review. Any thought on how this would do on Lake Hughes Road from Castaic up through the Canyon?
I am sure it can.I have a single bafang 750 and am able to go up steep trails with it.But I am adding a 1000 watt front hub motor--there are videos of these and with 2wd you can eat hills easily. My estimate is 28 to 32 mph up a hill after mine is done--but I will have more power then this and a smaller bike that I am converting.I bought a 20 inch non folding ebike for 1700 and for another 700 am converting it to AWD--I will have more power--more range then this and will have cost me half the price.
BTW you have to assemble these and build the front ends--so no sense to pay 2k for basically a front hub motor kit when you can buy them off ebay or amazon or alibaba for a fraction of the price and design what you want. I have videos of what mine can do on one motor and by next week will have an AWD version and a video of me taking a very hard mountain trail--backwards--meaning I will be going up a difficult trail the wrong way to show the capability--I already did it on one motor--it strained--but i did it and only got off the bike once--If I had to just pedal--I would have had to walk half the time--so these ebikes make a huge diffrence.My bike will be as offroad capable as this or a sauron and at least with this bike and mine--they look like bikes and are way less likely to be bothered by police unless you are really speeding.I do not plan on going above the mid 30s anyway--over 30 is very fast and a wipeout can really hurt you going over 30.
you could strap a Rifle on a few extra pouches bottles survival knife tent etc etc maybe ok in America but the batteries do not like our climate in the UK I Bought the camo Vtuvia as seen with Arnie on it lol its a good bit cheaper than this bike been looking for a insulate cover can't find one to fit my bike might have to make one lol
In America many places with wide open land to ride on n cops don't bother you much unless you way out of line n getting to crazy if they see you, but in some cities riding in populated cities they will be after you
I don’t know what kind of rider I will be but as an obese middle aged person, I hope the dual motors are enough to get my big ass up hills and out on the road/trail again
@@Glove513 I bought one, will pull a 15 degree hill (using iPhone altimeter app) with racks loaded, X bow on my back with-out peddling. I am 230 lbs and it is quite nimble in the woods (awd) for a large E-bike. e-cells customer service is great and they answer their phones.
@@Mamo878 i don't disagree, but it's brand-new what do you expect. And looks really promising. I mean, look how long people been waiting for those super 73s, and their complete junk. 43 hundred is ridiculous, when you can buy a $1,800 ebike then converted it to all wheel drive.
As a Hawaii resident, that's a very reasonable price. You can completely replace scooters that cost about 5 grand that people use around here. A 60 mile round trip means people even living off grid can charge at work. Many of the "roads" here can even be inaccessible to scooters. 4wd only, or similar, on terrain near to lunar glass. And don't forget the flooding lots of flooding. Since I have a little extra money from stonks, this bike is definitely relevant to my interests.
@@musmanov4642 I wouldn't buy the extra battery because of that, although I'm not sure it would make that big of a difference. I can't remember the exact numbers, I looked it up a while ago, but I remember thinking like holy %$#@ it comes with two really powerful controllers.
You say it's over built or excessive, but from the standpoint of a light motorcycle rider this is still too slow and shirt range to consider any large cross country roads. I need an ebike that can go 80km/h sustained for 200km until it gets interesting for me.
$4295 is what I paid for my $1000 watt ecell Monarch and it doesn’t have a front basket 🧺 so I changed its name to ecell warthog, my warthog don’t need a front basket 🧺
@Richard Smith.... like ANY bike with fat knobby tires, it depends on how loose or wet the sandy part you might be riding on... and then, making wider turn and going straight rather than sharper and smaller turn, etc. Hey, even on flat pavement, this bike is BIG and could never be as nimble as my old mountain bikes! This bike is a beast, a tank!
have you seen the size of the Surron? it's like riding a kids bike. I had a staff member who owned one. Wheeled right on his head. This is not an E-Bike, it's an electric motorcycle.
Best to keep it under 400 watts , less then 300 better n they will last longer n use pedal assist a lot, once in awhile using 400-600 watt going up real steep hill OK but doing 400-600 watt to much uphill or not won't last as long, don't run it real hard n will last way longer
@Psudopod... actually, what you are really talking about would be the difference between this, an ebike and a powerful electric scooter. PEDALS! To be qualified as a bike, it would need to have pedals and could be ridden even without power... and maybe bicycle rec trails would not allow scooters as they are not recognized as bikes.
CHARGING MY E-MTB IN CAMP: 1.) BLUETTI AC200 MAX LFP (not Li-ion) battery "power center". 2.) 220 watt Off Grid TREK foldable solar blanket to charge the BLUETTI - which in turn charges my bike batteries and runs my ICECO cooler/freezer. This system is far better than using a HONDA gas generator with the noise, stink and mess and danger of carrying gas cans.
@@zavir7490 This beast blasts out 2200 watts powering two 4.25" wide wheels providing twice the traction as a singe rear wheel bike. These are two 750 watt motors driven by two 52v batteries. Read all the comments be they owners of these bikes. Steep hills are no problem.
@ZaVir... do keep in mind that 750 watt motors would be the highest street legal motors in many places. There are far more powerful electric bikes out there but they would not be STREET legal. Meanwhile, I use my bike for daily commute beside leisure riding too... and that's exactly what I wanted. I had motorcycle before that I needed to pay for registration, insurance and yes, far more maintenance than I give this bike. Finally, Dave and his staff has been extremely responsive, helpful and supportive! I send off an email to Rachel at their customer service and I would get a call back the same day or two! Can you name many online ebike sellers that would do such!!!?
I just can't understand why bicycles have the front brake - and now throttle - on the left hand??? This is totally opposite to motorbikes and if you're a biker, this could lead to a very dangerous situation. I'll never buy any ebike with this 'front - on - the - left' situation.
youre full of sh*t.i had a S17 and it does nothing like what you say,45+....lies...the 1500W is not any quicker than their 750W,ive had both and now have an ecells 1500W AWD,so i know from experience youre FOS
@@rmtwofiftyzmann - I did make an honest mistake here and it was corrected, It seems this post needs correcting as well. I was tricked pretty good by the controller. Actual speed when setup correctly is 32 at best on a full charge with the PWM = OFF I'm not complaining really because 30mph is plenty fast. I'm a guy who doesn't run and hide and can admit mistakes. Don't get me wrong here, I tried to by an affordable powerful Ebike and the S17 fits that role. I do wish to upgrade as soon as possible.
Dude I have an ecell bike it’s a $4000 thousand dollar + ebike and they know nothing about the ebikes electrical system seriously 😳 they higher girls at the front desk who answers phone ☎️, but they know nothing about the bike.

Meh, just another Chinese frame and motors, off the shelf battteries. Nice components but still a generic bike w/out any uniqueness to frame design, geometry, etc. Probably weighs 100lbs+.

Anybody want to buy my two Ancheers? I'm selling these and getting that! Yey! I just have convince my wife. Toilet scrubbing, back yard cleaning, here I come.

Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
That is exactly what I need, a double everything get the hec away fast and far bike
I give it 5 stars for what it seems and price
I ride RadRover from Rad Power and everything you did in this review is nothing different than what my RadRover does. I wanted you to conquer some hills and real off road. You past a nice 10-12 foot hill on one of these trails that I was wondering, would you try climbing it? I gotta admit, the first year with my RadRover, I was jumping curbs and pushing the bike as fast as it can go and, the bike stood up to all the abuse I threw at it and it still does. Not anymore, tho. This is my soul source of transportation and nowadays, I ride it just the way you were riding this Crown Monarch in this review...like, I don’t push my RadRover anymore. So, not much different than my RadRover other than, the two battery packs (needed for two 500 w motors) duel suspension (which I have on RadRover from a Suntour Suspension Seatpost), the top speed of 52 Km, when RadRover is 40KM...not stock, stock is the same as Monarch, to get the top speed at 40KM you go into the secret menus just like the Monarch. It would be stupid to go faster than 40KM on a city sidewalk however, that difference in speed in the Monarch, will allow for much more power in pulling and pushing the Monarch up steep inclines and very powerful at slow speeds. I really want this Monarch bike!
Just got mine a couple days ago 🐸
I hear the Super Monarch Double Crown AWD is out, does it also have a Hunter model? I'll want to go for that, even with the Super Monarch, I almost dislocate necks turning to follow me cruise by in Nigeria with it!
I have this bike and love it .
This bike is almost perfect. If it had a mid drive option, it would be the best on the market. I'd also like a non camo option but that's subjective.
Mid drive means no two wheel drive
@@jerryrankin7283 You can put a mid drive to drive the rear wheel and hub motor in the front.
Send information on where I can see the 2.2, 1500, Hunting Bike. ❤ where can I buy this?
Mine ships Apr8 with Torque Sensor woohoo
Mine will be here Tuesday with a torque sensor as well 👏🏻
Mine is in may
@@2nd2none73 yes mine showed up yesterday with MONE of the updated parts. No torque sensor no updated forks nothing. They have been preaching for 4 months now the bike with torque sensor is on the way. Now they tell me may. I just got a refund and moved on to a bigger more reputable company. Ordered a rambo megatron with 2 1k watt motors and batteries
Don’t be surprised on April 8 when a normal bike shows up with no updates. The new dates a now May. Would be surprised if those have a torque sensor either. David gave me the whole spill how it would be middle of May before they even had the opportunity to offer a bike with torque sensor
@@jwild5360 Someone responded to me saying they just got their bike with a torque sensor and I got an email from Dave saying mine would have a torque sensor
I want one how do I make this happen..I can't find the check-out!!
Hi! I would love to see a review of the daymak road warrior, there is no video content about it othere than the official trailer on TH-cam, si it would be nice to see a review on it!
One question I have is on chain durability with all that torque. Is there a different or stronger bike chain? Is it relevant question. Just wanting to make most informed decisions as I am now considering AWD bikes.
Hi 1 problem you steil have only 60-80N.M so you will stock up hill not like bbshd/o2 120-160N.M
I don't know what N.M is, but I ride my 250-watt folding electric bike up 40% short hills, with a lot of pedaling and praying that I don't burn it out, but it has not yet failed me. With 9 times the power and dual traction, this Crown should fly, and give you a nice looking but in the process. I'm 160lb, and my Ancheer is about 60 lb, so 30 more pounds for this monster should be all additional power to climb.
@@atanacioluna292 n.m is torque
The individual motors are 400 rpm/85Nm of torque, plus 52V. Don't believe the hype that applying two motors gives you the same torque as one. With two motors you are doubling the power to the ground.
The advantages of AWD Electric Bikes
Power: Two motors can easily do what one will not.
Redundancy: If one motor fails you have another as a backup. If both motors fail you can still ride the bike home.
Traction: What good is having extra power if you can’t deliver it to the ground? With a dual-motors driving two wheels at the same speed you are delivering twice the power to the ground. The AWD E-Bike easily travels through soft sand, mud, and snow.
Increased Speed: The AWD electric bicycle will produce a 16% higher speed for the same amount of power that would be applied to a single motor. 28mph vs 24mph
Efficiency: With AWD you can travel further with the same battery and power of a single wheeled powered E-Bike. And, because of the 16% increase of speed for the same wattage you can travel 16% farther with an AWD e-bike. This is truly “synergy in motion”.
Less Trail Damage: Another consideration is that when riding on trails in the National Park system single wheel E-Bikes tear up the trails more than a AWD E-Bike of equal power because the power is split between two wheels.
Durability: The dual motors run more than 50% cooler than a single motor under high stress.
Better Handling: On dry pavement, AWD can help the E-Bike handle better and ensure that full power gets to the road. And in slippery conditions, such as ice, snow or mud, it provides additional traction for safer, more confident handling. The front motor also assists in pulling you through the corners.
All season riding: With an AWD E-Bike you can ride year-round.
Peace of mind: Regardless of where you live, it’s likely you get at least occasional bad weather. Whether it’s snow, rain or anything in between, you’ll certainly sleep better knowing you have an E-Cells Super Monarch AWD™ E-Bike when the going gets really tough !
@@e-cells2222 ... Yep, I fully agree! I only slipped twice on this bike... first time riding thru black ice that I didn't see. I had little problem riding this on snow covered city streets but didn't realize there was a patch of ice underneath the snow!!!
- - -
The second time was following my mountain bike buddy going down a steep single track in a wooded area; I was unable to make a turn around a sharp bend on the trail as this bike was massive with long wheel base. In order to prevent myself from going off the side of the trail and down a steep slop, I have do dump the bike and it landed on me, needing my buddy to help me get it off me and back on my feet! So, yes, I could go to many places but I am also learning its limitations! I would treat this bike like a lower power motorcross and keep that in mind and all should be great.
So that's about 3 hp, but much more usable: What is top speed? Do all states allow use without registration? Half the weight with the same capability as a Honda 70 or even 100, and not noise, smoke, and hassle; but, do you expect any reduction in weight with the same capability? I'm hoping to afford it soon, but I love a light vehicle that I can lift across obstacles.
The bike was designed for off-road and as such will easily propel a 225lb person over 35mph. At those speeds your not legal to ride on the streets, however, if you do, one motor can be shut off and remain a class 2 750 watt bike.
Will this thing climb steep hills?
Love it.
Great review but who doesn’t want a way overpowered ebike for the street that isn’t just the tip of the spear but is in fact the whole spear? If only I had the cash!
I'm a noob, anyone know if down the road a pinion gear with a belt could be added and get rid of the cassette and derailer? Maintenance would be next to nothing.
This looks like what I want, I live on a Ranch in Lake Hughes lots of sand and vertical, I want to be able to ride the canyon up and down from Castaic and also ride Pine Canyon to Three Points, maybe even Lake Elizabeth to Sierra Highway all the way to Burbank, this is the only Bike I've seen that would be great for the Ranch and those rides. Thanks for the review. Any thought on how this would do on Lake Hughes Road from Castaic up through the Canyon?
If lots of incline get one with 750watt or more on each wheel, or like 2000watt n up on back wheel
Does it go up steep dirt and gravel hills? With all the hype I have not seen any videos of any serious challanges this bike can overcome!
I am sure it can.I have a single bafang 750 and am able to go up steep trails with it.But I am adding a 1000 watt front hub motor--there are videos of these and with 2wd you can eat hills easily. My estimate is 28 to 32 mph up a hill after mine is done--but I will have more power then this and a smaller bike that I am converting.I bought a 20 inch non folding ebike for 1700 and for another 700 am converting it to AWD--I will have more power--more range then this and will have cost me half the price.
BTW you have to assemble these and build the front ends--so no sense to pay 2k for basically a front hub motor kit when you can buy them off ebay or amazon or alibaba for a fraction of the price and design what you want. I have videos of what mine can do on one motor and by next week will have an AWD version and a video of me taking a very hard mountain trail--backwards--meaning I will be going up a difficult trail the wrong way to show the capability--I already did it on one motor--it strained--but i did it and only got off the bike once--If I had to just pedal--I would have had to walk half the time--so these ebikes make a huge diffrence.My bike will be as offroad capable as this or a sauron and at least with this bike and mine--they look like bikes and are way less likely to be bothered by police unless you are really speeding.I do not plan on going above the mid 30s anyway--over 30 is very fast and a wipeout can really hurt you going over 30.
th-cam.com/video/eIE8OeYQtyM/w-d-xo.html
pretty good for the price
you could strap a Rifle on a few extra pouches bottles survival knife tent etc etc maybe ok in America but the batteries do not like our climate in the UK I Bought the camo Vtuvia as seen with Arnie on it lol its a good bit cheaper than this bike been looking for a insulate cover can't find one to fit my bike might have to make one lol
Does it have torque arms up front? Or anything to improve the strength of the front dropouts?
torque arms?
Not needed if it's a specialty ebike fork
They'd just use higher grade and/or thicker metal at the dropouts
@@shimes424 I agree. The forks are designed for these 750W motors. The slotted dropout stops the axle from spinning. No torque arms are required.
I would like to know what the maximum load capacity of this bike is. Only thing missing from the review
400 lbs according to the website
In Germany you would get big trouble with the cops with this ;-)
In America many places with wide open land to ride on n cops don't bother you much unless you way out of line n getting to crazy if they see you, but in some cities riding in populated cities they will be after you
I don’t know what kind of rider I will be but as an obese middle aged person, I hope the dual motors are enough to get my big ass up hills and out on the road/trail again
If I am looking for something with this capability and in this price range....I'm thinking RUNGU.
One day , some reviewer will show how well this bike works on hills and in the woods.....
And with an actual bike packing load of at least 100 lbs.
@@Glove513 I bought one, will pull a 15 degree hill (using iPhone altimeter app) with racks loaded, X bow on my back with-out peddling. I am 230 lbs and it is quite nimble in the woods (awd) for a large E-bike. e-cells customer service is great and they answer their phones.

E-cells sells direct to consumers and will assist you in seeing you get one of these bikes.
Bad ass.
One major problem with this bike, the price! Especially when you have the new Eunorau coming out soon for $2,900.
But some people want a fully loaded e-bike with racks and fenders that you can actually purchase and not something that's Indiegogo out-of-stock.
@@Mamo878 i don't disagree, but it's brand-new what do you expect. And looks really promising. I mean, look how long people been waiting for those super 73s, and their complete junk. 43 hundred is ridiculous, when you can buy a $1,800 ebike then converted it to all wheel drive.
wish eunorau made a 52v like this one
As a Hawaii resident, that's a very reasonable price.
You can completely replace scooters that cost about 5 grand that people use around here. A 60 mile round trip means people even living off grid can charge at work.
Many of the "roads" here can even be inaccessible to scooters. 4wd only, or similar, on terrain near to lunar glass.
And don't forget the flooding lots of flooding.
Since I have a little extra money from stonks, this bike is definitely relevant to my interests.
@@musmanov4642 I wouldn't buy the extra battery because of that, although I'm not sure it would make that big of a difference. I can't remember the exact numbers, I looked it up a while ago, but I remember thinking like holy %$#@ it comes with two really powerful controllers.
Is this bike is available in amazon/flipcarts?
What's the charging speed from zero to full?
Are you guys planning on taking a look at Citizen Bike London??
I paid $6,500 for my bike and got myself a 6 pointer this year. RidgeRunner Electric Mountain Bike QuietKat
You say it's over built or excessive, but from the standpoint of a light motorcycle rider this is still too slow and shirt range to consider any large cross country roads. I need an ebike that can go 80km/h sustained for 200km until it gets interesting for me.
What is the orange toggle button on the left with the 1-2-3 settings?
Front wheel, back wheel, both wheels.

Great bike. Impossible to get parts in timely matter
That crap tool kit sure builds confidence.
Would this bike work well on beach sand?
@Richard Smith.... like ANY bike with fat knobby tires, it depends on how loose or wet the sandy part you might be riding on... and then, making wider turn and going straight rather than sharper and smaller turn, etc. Hey, even on flat pavement, this bike is BIG and could never be as nimble as my old mountain bikes! This bike is a beast, a tank!
*LOOKS LIKE A 200 POUNDS EBIKE*

Yo tengo una Monarch Nahum 100 año 1994
Those small geared hub motors have to get over worked.
Best to keep it under 400 watts , less then 300 better n they will last longer n use pedal assist a lot, once in awhile using 400-600 watt going up real steep hill OK but doing 400-600 watt to much uphill or not won't last as long, don't run it real hard n will last way longer
@@michaeljohn7467 Sounds reasonable ran like that.
@@TinyTitian some people dont know this info, the guy i bought mine from said people got 17,000 miles out of it
When does it stop being a bike and just become an electric motorcycle?
@Psudopod... actually, what you are really talking about would be the difference between this, an ebike and a powerful electric scooter. PEDALS! To be qualified as a bike, it would need to have pedals and could be ridden even without power... and maybe bicycle rec trails would not allow scooters as they are not recognized as bikes.

That was the bike I wanted ,but E-Cells financing company turned me down even though I have excellent credit
CHARGING MY E-MTB IN CAMP: 1.) BLUETTI AC200 MAX LFP (not Li-ion) battery "power center". 2.) 220 watt Off Grid TREK foldable solar blanket to charge the BLUETTI - which in turn charges my bike batteries and runs my ICECO cooler/freezer. This system is far better than using a HONDA gas generator with the noise, stink and mess and danger of carrying gas cans.
That’s probably the price of a Honda Civic
No licence, no insurance, no registration, no gas, no oil changes. Sounds like a big money pit.
Low powered hub motors like these on off road terrain are just terrible.
Yeah, so terrible that every owner of this bike loves it off road.

@@e-cells2222 why Eunorau is able to sell similar bike for half price?
@ZaVir... do keep in mind that 750 watt motors would be the highest street legal motors in many places. There are far more powerful electric bikes out there but they would not be STREET legal. Meanwhile, I use my bike for daily commute beside leisure riding too... and that's exactly what I wanted. I had motorcycle before that I needed to pay for registration, insurance and yes, far more maintenance than I give this bike. Finally, Dave and his staff has been extremely responsive, helpful and supportive! I send off an email to Rachel at their customer service and I would get a call back the same day or two!

I just can't understand why bicycles have the front brake - and now throttle - on the left hand??? This is totally opposite to motorbikes and if you're a biker, this could lead to a very dangerous situation. I'll never buy any ebike with this 'front - on - the - left' situation.
