Mine is arriving tomorrow (hopefully!). Your videos definitely helped push me over the edge to buy one and feel confident in my purchase sight unseen. Keep doing them!
I'm thinking about upgrading from my Bandit to the Land Moto. I live in San Francisco and mostly use the Bandit to commute to work, run errands and occasionally have a passenger. I love the Bandit but I do wish I had a bit more torque (mostly when I'm dead stopped) to climb steeper hills or when I have a passenger. I think the Brute would fit my needs but I don't love the look of it. The Javalin is also a contender but I've been leaning more and more to the Land Moto for its look, quality and versatility of speeds. Plus it would make it safer for me with the increased speed and torque to better keep up with traffic. The Bandit takes awhile to hit its higher speeds so by that point I'm already at the light 😅 How would you compare the Bandit to the Land Moto? Do you still ride the Bandit or do you just stick with the Land Moto? Which do you enjoy riding more? Thanks!
No comparison between the bandit and the land . The bandit is a good ebike. This is another animal ! No passengers on this one. No pedals so you will need to get it registered. But the power on this is crazy fun. The land is my daily rider. I still use the bandit for bike paths riding with the wife. I haven’t seen any of the new bikes from sparks in person. So hard to say . Land is more money but the quality of this bike is way better just sayin Hope that helps. Very happy with my purchase after a year and already told them to put me on the preorder for the new model coming out next year.
@@quadzilla2854 Gotcha, I was thinking about using the Land Moto as my daily/longer commutes to nearby cities and Bandit for "slower" rides or if I want to take shortcuts via bike paths. Bummer that I can't take passengers on the Land Moto though. Do you know if its just b/c there's not enough room on the seat or if its a weight capacity issue? I know there's no pegs but I figured I could probably 3D print something to attach to the frame and install some (although not sure structurally how that'll go lol).
Maintenance wise, from what I can tell it doesn't seem like you've had to do too much on the Land Moto right? I'm about 3000-4000 miles in on my Bandit after about 1.5-2 years of daily use and the few things I've had to do is bleed my brakes, swap out brake pads 2-3 times and very soon replace my tires. Honestly not too bad & I'm sure I'll be doing the same work on the Land Moto. I feel like after 10k miles on your Land Moto the only thing you've really had to do is clean and lube your chain regularly?
@@alanfeng97that is correct. I just had brakes and tires done around 11,000. They said I could have got another another 1,000 miles roughly. Also chain was due to be replaced . I decided to switch to the belt drive which just became available . No more chain maintanence !
Great review , i think your front tire is on backwards though, sorry i think the thread pushes water from the inside of the tire tread to the outside, your thread pattern is going inwards, pushing water to the inside of the tread pattern etc. yup, if you look at the pattern on your front tire, it would work better if you were going in reverse (lookin out 4 ur safety). Thanks for Posting
I had to double check the front tire after your comment. It is on correctly according to the tire . There is an arrow on the tire. One for the front and it’s opposite for the rear. No idea why. Appreciate the heads up though!

@@GnarlsBailey hell yea! You’re gonna love it! Thank you for the comment!
I love honest customer reviews like this since it's so hard for someone to test ride before buying.
It's difficult to find honest reviews. Appreciate it..🤙
Awsome channel I just subscribed! Amazing bike!
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing! I appreciate it!
Wow 10k miles already. Land moto putting in work.
